Progress toward the welwitindolinone alkaloid N-methylwelwitindolinone B isothiocyanate is reported. A key reaction to synthesize the [4.3.1] bicycle embedded in the core of the molecule is a furan type 2 intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction with a tetrasubstituted dienophile, which sets the two vicinal quaternary centers present in the natural product. The sterically encumbered cycloaddition precursor was synthesized using a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction followed by a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. Finally, introduction of the secondary alkyl chloride was achieved by a regio- and diastereoselective opening of a [2.2.1] oxobicycloheptane functionality.

Lewis acid catalyzed Diels - Alder cyclization of the tetraenal 15 affords the endo product, hydronaphthalene 16, with high diastereoselectivity. Nonracemic 15 is prepared by addition of dienyne 5 to resolved (2S,4S)-5-[(tert -butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-2,4-

The isomeric trans-(E)-, trans-(Z)-, cis-(E)-, and cis-(Z)-vinyloxiranes 7,9,17 and 19 were prepared from 2-(benzyloxy)ethanol by sequential Swern-Wittig or Swern-Horner-Emmons propionate condensation, DIBAH reduction, Sharpless epoxidation, Swern oxidation, Wittig or Horner-Emmons acetate condensation, and a second DIBAH reduction.Addition of lithium dimethylcuprate and lithium methylcyanocuprate to these epoxides in THF-eather at -20 to 0 deg C afforded the allylic alcohols 22,25, ent-23, and ent-22 as the major products.These products are formed by anti addition to the lower energy conformer (s-trans for 7,17, and 19 and s-cis for 9) of the respective vinyloxirane.The conformational preferences of transition-state-like geometries of the vinyl-oxiranes, calculated with the aid of Still's MACROMODEL program, were in agreement with the observed trends.
A Stereoselective Synthesis of the Hydronaphthalene Substructure of Kijanolide

, p. 1633 - 1635 (2007/10/02)
The synthesis of a hydronaphthalene substructure of the antitumor antibiotic kijanimicin is described in which four of the seven chiral centers are introduced via a diastereoselective intramolecular Diels-Alder cyclization of an all-(E)-2,8,10,12-tetradec
