A bioinsipred gold-catalyzed tandem Diels-Alder/Diels-Alder reaction of an enynal and a 1,3-diene, forming the highly-strained benzotricyclo[3.2.1.0 2,7]octane skeleton, was reported. In contrast, a Diels-Alder/Friedel-Crafts tandem reaction occurred instead when silver salts were used as the catalyst. Although both reactions experienced the similar Diels-Alder reaction of a pyrylium intermediate with a 1,3-diene, they have different reaction mechanisms. The former proceeded with a stepwise Diels-Alder reaction, while the latter one with a concerted one. Mother nature knows best! A gold-catalyzed reaction of enynals and 1,3-dienes, giving rapid access to the highly strained benzotricyclo[3.2.1.02,7]octane skeleton, is reported (see scheme; QMD=quinodimethane). Owing to the mild reaction conditions, excellent substrate scope, and high functional-group tolerance, this system holds potential for the construction of complex molecules with the tricyclo[3.2.1.02,7]octane skeleton.

The total syntheses of (+)-9-epi-dictyostatin (1a) and (-)-12,13-bis-epi- dictyostatin (1b), diastereomers of the antimitotic marine sponge-derived macrolide (-)-dictyostatin (1), were achieved by creating 11 stereogenic centers and 4stereogenic double bonds with a high level of stereocontrol. The yield for the 29-step longest linear sequence from Roche ester was 1.53 and 1.52%, respectively. The final key steps to these unnatural products were the addition of vinylzincates C10-C26 to aldehyde C1-C9 (leading surprisingly to complete stereoselectivity for the 9R-configuration in 28a and for the 9S-configuration in 12,13-bis-epimeric 28b), followed by Yamaguchi macrolactonization and global deprotection. (-)-12,13-Bis-epi-dictyostatin (1b) displayed a dramatic decrease of cytotoxicity and of the affinity toward the paclitaxel binding site of microtubules. Eleven stereogenic centers and fourstereogenic double bonds were obtained with a high level of stereocontrol in the total synthesis of (+)-9-epi-dictyostatin and(-)-12,13-bis-epi-dictyostatin, diastereomers of the antimitotic marine sponge-derived macrolide (-)-dictyostatin.
