at rt, the 6-membered enone 1 and diene 2 underwent cascade
cyclization and afforded the 6-exo-dig cyclized product (bearing
the seco-atesane-type skeleton) selectively in 93% yield. The 5-
exo-dig cyclized product (bearing the seco-kaurane-type
skeleton) can be obtained via carbocyclization of the DA
intermediate ( )-3 using PtCl2 at −78 °C (72%, 7.8:1). On the
other hand, the cascade cyclization between 5-membered enone
( )-20 and diene 2 using ZnBr2 favors the 5-exo-dig cyclization
product (bearing the zizaene-type skeleton), which was
converted to the allo-cedrane-type skeleton of ( )-24 (the
core of tashironin) with two steps in a model study.
Development of an asymmetric version using chiral Lewis
acids and a total synthesis of tashironin and related natural
products using this cascade cyclization strategy are ongoing in
our laboratory.
