(+)-anhydrochatancin was synthesized while attempting an enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-chatancin. The presented route constitutes the furanophane approach, one of the two ways of proposed biosynthesis which may involve transannular Diels-Alder (TADA) reaction to link this diterpene biogenetically to the furanocembranoids. Highlights of the synthetic work include the assembly of chiral, acyclic, trisubstituted furan 28 via a coupling of aldehyde 10 and dilithiofuroic acid 11, a macrocyclization to furanophane 29E via ring-closing metathesis, a TADA reaction to reach tetracyclic intermediate 4, and a hydride shift mediated oxygen transposition as a final rearrangement to the target. Unfortunately, the strongly acidic condition required for the last step allows only the isolation of anhydrochatancin 30 due to the acid sensitivity of chatancin 1.

Two new cembrane-derived tricyclic diterpenes belonging to the sarcophytin family, namely 4-hydroxy-chatancin () and sarcotoroid (), together with two known related ones ( and ), were isolated from the soft coral collected off Ximao Island in the South China Sea. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, a quantum mechanical nuclear magnetic resonance (QM-NMR) method, a time-dependent density functional theory electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) calculation, X-ray diffraction analysis, and comparison with the reported data in the literature. A plausible biosynthetic pathway of compounds - was proposed, involving undergoing a transannular Diels-Alder cycloaddition.

The strategy for the synthesis of the octahydronaphthalene core of natural macrolide sagamilactam has unintentionally evolved from the acyclic intramolecular (IMDA) to the transannular (TADA) Diels-Alder reaction. Lewis acid-promoted IMDA of a protected 2,8,10-4,6,12-trihydroxy-2,8,10-decatrienal model with a diol of 4,6- relative configuration, as proposed by DP4+-based computational studies, afforded the -octahydronaphthalene diastereomer through the approach. The 26-membered macrodiolide generated, under thermal reaction conditions, the -octahydronaphthalene by a double TADA reaction along the desired orientation.

Vinigrol is a structurally and stereochemically complex diterpenoid that displays various potent pharmacological activities. Two generations of synthetic routes were designed and pursued based on a transannular Diels-Alder (TADA) cycloaddition strategy. An intramolecular [2 + 2]photocycloaddition in the presence of the chelating Lewis acid (MgBr·EtO) was first discovered to enable the reaction of sterically challenging substrates, which was followed by [2 + 2]cycloreversion to provide α-pyrones fused with a 10-membered ring.

The complete account of the total syntheses of scabrolide A and yonarolide is disclosed. This article describes an initial approach involving a bio-inspired macrocyclization/transannular Diels-Alder cascade, which ultimately failed due to undesired reactivity during macrocycle construction. Next, the evolution of a second and third strategy, which both involve an initial intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction followed by a late-stage closure of the seven-membered ring of scabrolide A are detailed.

We report herein the asymmetric total synthesis of periglaucines A-C, N,O-dimethyloxostephine and oxostephabenine. The key strategies used include: 1) a Rh -catalyzed regio- and diastereoselective Hayashi-Miyaura reaction to connect two necessary fragments; 2) an intramolecular photoenolization/Diels-Alder (PEDA) reaction to construct the highly functionalized tricyclic core skeleton bearing a quaternary center; 3) a bio-inspired intramolecular Michael addition and transannular acetalization to generate the aza[4.4.
