Oblongolide: Synthesis and Absolute Configuration
Shing, Tony K. M.
, p. 49 - 50 (1986)
The absolute configuration of oblongolide is shown to be (1) by an unambiguous synthesis from (+)-citronellol involving an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.
A Synthesis of (+)-Oblongolide

The absolute configuration of natural oblongolide is reassigned as (3aS,5aR,7S,9aS,9bS)-3a,5a,6,7,8,9,9a,9b-octahydro-7,9b-dimethylnaphthofuran-1(3H)-one 2 by a 7-stage synthesis of its enantiomer 1 from (+)-citronellol involving a regioselective reduction and an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction (IMDA) as the key steps. (+)-Citronellol was converted into methyl (2E,4E,10E)-(S)-(+)-11-tert-butoxycarbonyl-7-methyl-undeca-2,4,10-trienoate 7 by sequential Lemieux-Johnson oxidation, Wittig reaction, pyridinium chlorochromate oxidation, and Wadsworth-Emmons-Horner alkenation.A regioselective reduction of the methoxycarbonyl group in 7 afforded tert-butyl (2E,8E,10E)-(S)-(+)-2,6-dimethyl-12-hydroxy-dodeca-2,8,10-trienoate 8 from which (+)-oblongolide was readily obtained via an IMDA reaction.Key Words; Oblongolide; Absolute configuration; Citronellol; Intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.
A Short Synthesis of Natural (-)-Oblongolide via an Intramolecular or a Transannular Diels-Alder Reaction

The absolute configuration on naturally occurring oblongolide is confirmed as (3aS,5aR,7S,9aS,9bS)-3a,5a,6,7,8,9,9a,9b-octahydro-7,9b-dimethylnaphthofuran-1(3H)-one (1) on the basis of a six-stage or an eight-stage synthesis from (-)-citronellol involving a steric-controlled, regioselective reduction and an intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction or a transannular Diels-Alder (TDA) reaction as the key steps. (-)-Citronellol (5) was converted into methyl (2E,4E,10E)-(S)-(+)-11-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-7-methylundeca-2,4,10-trienoate (7) by sequential Lemiuex-Johnson oxidation, Wittig olefination, pyridinium dichromate oxidation, and Wadsworth-Emmons-Horner alkenation.A regioselective reduction of the methoxycarbonyl group in 7 afforded tert-butyl (2E,8E,10E)-(S)-(+)-2,6-dimethyl-12-hydroxydodeca-2,8,10-trienoate (8) from which oblongolide (1) was obtained via an IMDA reaction.The macrocyclic (2E,8E,10E)-(S)-(+)-2,6-dimethyldodeca-2,8,10-trieno-1,12-lactone derived from 8 underwent a highly stereoselective TDA reaction to give 1 at a lower reaction temperature, in a shorter reaction time and in a better yield than the analogous IMDA reaction.
