Novel tandem ring-opening/ring-closing metathesis reactions of functionalized cyclohexenoids derived from (-)-α-pinene

, p. 699 - 702 (2007/10/03)
The cyclohexenone (+)-2, readily obtained from (-)-α-pinene 1 was elaborated to (+)-3 in an attempt to construct the AB rings of taxoids employing the ring-closure metathesis (RCM) reaction as the key step. In the event, a novel ring-opening/ring-closing metathesis reaction was encountered in the relatively strain free cyclohexenyl ring of (+)-3.
Restructuring α-pinene: Novel entry into diverse polycarbocyclic frameworks

(-)-α-Pinene 1 has been restructured into a chiral cyclohexenone (+)-6, in which the functionalities were integrated to afford bicyclo[3.3.1]nonan 3,7-diones and a novel tricyclic skeleton 16 related to the sesquiterpene clovene. Intramolecular [2+2] photocycloadditions in (+)-6 and related 5-alkenylcyclohexenones provided an entry into some novel bridged tricyclic systems.
