The first Diels-Alder based synthesis of (-)-kainic acid is described. Danishefsky's diene and a vinylogous malonate derived from 4-hydroxyproline combine under high pressure to afford a key bicyclic intermediate with virtually no loss of enantiopurity. This adduct can be converted into the natural product with complete stereocontrol. [reaction: see text].

Daidzin, as one of isoflavone glycosides, has been reported to have multiple activities with few absorbed into body. However, the metabolic behavior of daidzin by intestinal flora has not been researched, that this defect severely constrains its applications. In this study, daidzin and its metabolites were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by HPLC and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) in the fermentation system for daidzin and fecal bacteria.

Defying the common Diels-Alder reactivity, the thermal cycloaddition between butadiene and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) yields exclusively a [2 + 2] cycloadduct via a stepwise diradical mechanism. Here, we study the possibility of reverting to the normal [4 + 2] reactivity in this reaction under high pressure. DFT calculations using the eXtreme Pressure Polarizable Continuum Model (XP-PCM) suggest a more negative activation volume for the concerted [4 + 2] mechanism than the stepwise [2 + 2] mechanism and predict a switch in periselectivity at 1.

Total syntheses of borolithochromes H1, H2, I1, and I2, the red pigments isolated from fossils of Jurassic putative red alga Solenopora jurassica, have been achieved. The naphthoquinone possessing a chiral sec-butyl side chain has been synthesized from (S)-2-methylbutanol. The Diels-Alder reaction of the chiral naphthoquinone and the previously reported diene was followed by one pot S-methylation/intramolecular Corey-Chaykovsky reaction/epoxide rearrangement to provide the benzo[gh]tetraphene skeleton.

Dearomative Diels-Alder cycloadditions between nitroarenes and 2-trimethylsilyloxycyclohexadiene are carried out under high pressure at room temperature in the absence of any chemical promoter. Reactions are performed with different arenes, including the highly aromatic naphthalenes and quinolines. They lead to 3D-scaffolds with exquisite exo-diastereoselectivity.
