(Matrix Presented) A new route to podolactones functionalized in the A ring has been achieved. Two key steps were employed in this synthesis, the construction of the bicyclic skeleton via a Mn(III)-mediated radical cyclization and the transformation of this bicyclic intermediate into the tetracyclic podolactone skeleton through a Pd (II)-mediated bislactonization of the corresponding conjugate diene. The reported synthesis of 3β-hydroxy-13,14,15,-16-tetranorlabda-7,9(11)-dien-(19,6β),(12,17)- diolide (1) let us reassign the structure of wentilactone B, for which structure 1 was wrongly reported.

Mn(III)-based oxidative free-radical cyclization of phenylmenthyl ester 1e afforded 90percent of 13 with 86percent de.Cyclization of 31b provided 56percent of (+)-podocarpic acid precursor 32e with 82percent de.The direction of de was opposite in these two cases.Oxidative cyclization of α-methyl β-keto ester 44b gave a 1:1.6 mixture of 46b and 47b while α-propyl β-keto ester 44d produced a >10:1 mixture of 46d and 47d indicating that the extent and direction of de is dependent on the size of the α-substituent.The reaction proceeds through transition states 12 and 56 with large α-substituents and through transition states 19 and 57 with small α-substituents.The de depends on the double-bond substitution pattern as shown by the decreased de with 37b and 37d, and selectivity in the 5-exo cyclization of 64b, 65b, 70b, and 71b is low.
