(Figure Presented) Key to success: The first catalytic asymmetric total synthesis of ent-hyperforin (see picture) was accomplished by using a Diels-Alder reaction promoted by a chiral cationic iron catalyst (A; 96% ee, d.r. >33:1), a diastereoselective Claisen rearrangement (B; 12:1 selectivity), an intramolecular aldol reaction (C), and a vinylogous Pummerer rearrangement (D) as key steps.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A new method for the catalytic enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction using polysubstituted silyl enol ethers as dienes is described. High enantioselectivity (up to 92% ee) was produced using a catalyst generated from FeBr3 and AgSbF6 in a 1:2 ratio and aryl-pybox (aryl = Ph or p-ethoxyphenyl). This reaction should facilitate the enantioselective synthesis of polycyclic acylphloroglucinols such as hyperforin or garsubellin A, which are currently of interest from synthetic and medicinal points of view.
