The efficacy of a new annulation method, developed for the construction of functionalized bicyclic compounds, is illustrated by conversion of the β-keto esters 18 and 19 into the bicyclonon-1-enes 33 and 34, respectively, and by transformation of 2-methoxycarbonylcyclopentanone (20) into the bicyclonon-6-ene 38 and the bicyclodec-7-enes 48 and 51.Application of the method to total syntheses of the structurally unusual sesquiterpenoids (+/-)-chiloscyphone (16) and (+/-)-6-epi-chiloscyphone (17) is described.
