The first syntheses of (-)-lepadins A and C, as well as a new synthesis of (-)-lepadin B, have been achieved from commercially available (S)-malic acid. The methodology is based on an intramolecular hetero-Diels--Alder reaction of the acylnitroso compound, affording the bicyclic oxazino lactam with trans selectivity, which was converted to the cis-decahydroquinoline via asymmetric enolate hydroxylation

Reaction of oxaphosphoranes with paraformaldehyde yielded novel 7-membered cyclic vinylidene acetals in almost quantitative yield. Phosphonium betaines reacted with parformaldehyde to give new betaines, which further reacted with paraformaldehyde to afford olefins via Wittig reaction.
The sequential cyclization involving Prins cyclization was successfully demonstrated, in which the various aldehydes bearing the alkyl or aromatic substituent were reacted with the alcohol bearing the non-conjugated diene moiety in the presence of 2 equiv. of BF3 center dot Et2O and 4 mol% of TMSC1 at -40 degrees C to afford the corresponding fluorinated bicyclic compounds in moderate to good yields.

Samarium(II) iodide in the presence of hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) efficiently promotes the intramolecular coupling of ketones with distal epoxy olefins. The reaction appears to proceed by a mechanism wherein a ketyl couples with the unsaturated epoxide. Subsequent fragmentation of the epoxide ring in compounds 1a-k yields carbocycles 2a-k with an allyl alcohol side chain in good yields, and often with high diastereoselectivity. When tetramethylguanidine was used as an additive instead of HMPA, the desired carbocycle was obtained in good yield, but the diastereoselectivity was diminished. A palladium(0)-catalyzed SmI2 reaction provided the expected product in modest yield, but the sense of diastereoselectivity was reversed. In the latter case, a different reaction mechanism may be involved. Thus, formation of an allylsamarium species may be invoked, with nucleophilic carbonyl addition leading to the observed facial selectivity.
