A concise and convergent synthesis of the isosteroidal alkaloids veratramine and 20--veratramine has been accomplished. A Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination joins two chiral building blocks of approximately equal complexity and a transition-metal catalyzed intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition-aromatization cascade constructs the tetrasubstituted arene. Other key steps include a highly diastereoselective crotylation of an -sulfonyl iminium ion and an Eschenmoser fragmentation.

Here, we report the enantioselective total syntheses of four diepoxy--kaurane diterpenoids including (-)-Macrocalin B, (-)-Acetyl-macrocalin B, and (-)-Isoadenolin A and the revised structure of (-)-Phyllostacin I, which hinges on the strategic design of a regioselective and stereospecific trapping of a highly reactive [3.2.1]-bridgehead enone intermediate via a tethered intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.

The Pd-catalyzed reaction of 1-(2-iodophenyl)-3-arylprop-2-yn-1-ones with benzene-tethered furan-ynes produces novel fused hexacyclic indenone-furan scaffolds, while the reaction with propargyl furfuryl ethers affords the pentacyclic indenone-spirodifuran system. The thiophene-containing alkynes also proceed by similar transformations. A mechanism involving the Pd-catalyzed coupling and propargylic Alder-ene reaction to generate the indenone-allene intermediate, followed by an intramolecular furan/thiophene-participated inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction, is proposed.
