Catalytic asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions using a chiral zirconium complex have been developed. The reactions of aldehydes with Danishefsky's dienes proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding pyranone derivatives in high yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities in the presence of a chiral zirconium complex, which was prepared from zirconium tert-butoxide, (R)-3,3′-diiodobinaphthol or its derivative, a primary alcohol, and a small amount of water. It is noted that 2,3-trans-pyranone derivatives were obtained with remarkably high diastereo- and enantioselectivities in the reaction with 4-methyl Danishefsky's diene. This is the first example of catalytic asymmetric trans-selective hetero Diels-Alder reactions of aldehydes. Furthermore, asymmetric HDA reactions with 4-benzyloxy Danishefsky's dienes were conducted to afford 2,3-cis-pyranone derivatives in high selectivities. Isolation of an intermediate of this asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder reaction indicated that the reaction proceeded in a stepwise cycloaddition pathway. Finally, these catalytic, asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder reactions were successfully applied to concise syntheses of biologically important natural pyranone derivatives, (+)-Prelactone C and (+)-9- deoxygoniopypyrone.

The γ-lactone intermediate (-)-7, derived from (+)-tricarbonyl(η6-o-(trimethylsilyl)benzaldehyde)chromium(0) complex, was efficiently converted into the corresponding δ-lactone intermediate (-)-11. This second intermediate has been shown to be a versatile compound for stereoselective syntheses of natural styryllactones possessing a six-membered lactone moiety, isolated from Goniothalamus giganteus, by transforming it into (+)-goniotriol, (+)-8-acetylgoniotriol, (+)-goniodiol, (+)-9-deoxygoniopypyrone, (+)-altholactone, and (-)-goniofupyrone.
