Levulinic acid-derived 6-diazoheptane-2,5-dione (9) serves as a common precursor in a formal synthesis of frontalin 19, and in syntheses of cis-nemorensic acid 1, 4-hydroxy-cis-nemorensic acid 2, 3-hydroxy-cis-nemorensic acid 3, and nemorensic acid 4. The key step in these syntheses is the Rh(2)(OAc)(4)-catalyzed tandem carbonyl ylide formation-intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of diazodione 9 with formaldehyde, alkynes or allene, which occur with high regioselectivity. Subsequent oxidative cleavage of the ring originally derived from the cyclic carbonyl ylide intermediate provides a straightforward access to polysubstituted tetrahydrofurans, and in particular an efficient entry to the nemorensic acids.

The utility of oxidative cyclization reactions for the construction of tetrahydrofuran rings has been examined. In these experiments, alcohol nucleophiles were found to be effective traps for radical cation intermediates generated from both enol ether and ketene dithioacetal groups. The reactivity of the alcohol trapping group appeared to lie between that of an enol ether and an allylsilane trapping group.
