(Chemical Equation Presented) Perfect control: The catalytic 1,6-addition of aryl boronic acids to electron-deficient dienes was realized by use of an iridium catalyst (see scheme). High yields of the corresponding δ-arylated carbonyl compounds were obtai

3,3-Dimethyl-2-p-tolylcyclopentanone (7) was synthesised by 1,4-addition of lithium dimethylcuprate to 3-methyl-2-p-tolylcyclopentenone (6), which was derived from 5-methyl-2-(4-methylbenzyl)furan (4) through the diketone (5).Starting from the same intermediate (5), 2-p-tolylheptan-6-one (16) was also synthesised.These results constitute formal total syntheses of cuparene (9) and iso-α-curcumene (17) respectively.
