Bisketene Equivalents as Diels-Alder Dienes

2,5-Bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)furans are established as vicinal bisketene equivalents for application as dienes in the Diels-Alder reaction. Cycloaddition with olefinic dienophiles, under exceptionally mild conditions, enables convergent access to highly substituted para-hydroquinones in unprotected form via a one-pot Diels-Alder/ring-opening/tautomerization sequence. The synthesis of para-benzoquinones from acetylenic dienophiles, including benzynes, is also demonstrated, and 2,5-bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)pyrroles are established as competent dienes for the synthesis of para-iminoquinones. Application in natural product synthesis enables gram-scale access to the neuroprotective agent (±)-indanostatin.

Catalytic asymmetric [2+2] cycloaddition between quinones and fulvenes and a subsequent stereoselective isomerization to 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans

The catalytic enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition between quinones and fulvenes was achieved, for the first time, by the use of a chiral copper(ii) complex catalyst. The transformation afforded a series of enantiomerically enriched [6,4,5]-tricyclic cyclobutane derivatives in good yields with excellent regio- and stereoselectivities. Furthermore, the [2+2] adducts could be easily converted into formal [3+2] adducts efficiently and stereoselectively.

Enantioselective rare-earth catalyzed quinone Diels-Alder reactions

A highly enantioselective, quinone Diels-Alder reaction catalyzed by chiral samarium and gadolinium pyridyl-bis(oxazoline) (pybox) complexes has been developed. The reaction scope has been extended to include three quinones and five dienes, all of which e
