The rac-homofenchone (2), which was previously unknown, is prepared starting from the cyclohexenecarboxylate 4 via the bicyclooctene 13 by two independent routes.The key steps are either the intramolecular acylation of a C=C bond in 9 induced by trifluoroacetic acid anhydride, or the BF3-catalyzed decomposition of the diazomethyl ketone 15.From 13 a direct path leads to homofenchone (2), the NMR spectra of which were fully assigned.
Total Synthesis of Halogenated Monoterpene Marine Natural Products via the Diels-Alder Reaction
