The synthesis of the tricyclic system of forskolin by an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction is described, starting from tri-O-acetyl-D-galactal.
A New Synthetic Approach to Forskolin: Construction of the ABC Ring System from D-Galactose

Intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of dienyne 14 afforded naphthopyran 18 which underwent 1,4-addition of methyl copper reagent to give the functionalized tricyclic system of forskolin 17. The synthesis of dienyne 14 is based on a stereoselective introduction of carbon side chains at C(1) and C(2) of tri-O-acetyl-D-galactal via C-Ferrier followed by Claisen-Ireland rearrangements.
