(+)-Dihydromayurone (1) was enantioselectively synthesized from β-cyclocitral (7). The key step in the synthesis involved anionic oxy-Cope of allylic alcohol 6 to aldehyde 5. Efficient transfer of chirality from the secondary allylic alcohol center to the quaternary carbon center was observed vai chairlike transition state with the equatorial oxyanionic bond.

High-pressure Diels - Alder reactions of 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-vinyl-1-cyclohexenes 3a,b,i with substituted 1,4-benzoquinones afford, in good yield, highly functionalized tricyclic ring systems which are found in many classes of naturally occuring terpenes.Notably, the reactions of 3a are highly regio- and stereoselective.Efficient, formal syntheses of antitumor diterpenes (+ -)-taxodione and (+ -)-royleanone are reported, which demonstrate the practical application of this new strategy for the preparation of varied terpene systems.Of particular interest is that the high-pressure reactions are accelerated by mild Lewis acids and the regio- and stereoselectivity of these reactions is also improved under the combined high-pressure / Lewis acid conditions in comparison to the high-pressure conditions alone.Indeed, in the reaction of 3a with 2-methoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, ZnBr2 is required to effect the Diels-Alder reaction even at 12 kbar, and endo adduct 12c is formed stereoselectively in 90percent yield.In contrast, low-temperature Ti(IV)-catalyzed reactions of diene 3a with methoxy-substituted 1,4-benzoquinones at atmospheric pressure regioselectively produce dihydrobenzofurans 19 and 20, apparently via alkylation of the quinone Ti(IV) complex by the diene followed by the ring closure.

Isomerization by base under kinetic or thermodynamic control of the Diels-Alder adduct of 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-vinyl-1-cyclohexene with dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate leads to two isomers which, after catalytic hydrogenation, give in high yield starting materials for synthesis of trans and cis drimanes.A short total synthesis of (+/-)-polygodial and (+/-)-drimenine from one of these isomers is desribed.
