Here we describe the oxidation of 1,3-cyclohexanediones with 4-acetamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxoammonium tetrafluoroborate (Bobbitt's salt) to generate 5-ene-1,2,4-triones in moderate-to-good (40-80%) yields. This inexpensive oxidant facilitated an unprecedented cascade of oxidation and elimination to yield novel ene-triketones. The reactivity of these products was explored in the Diels-Alder reaction and provided moderate-to-good yields of cycloaddition products. The products described in this study represent unique, densely functionalized, and versatile building blocks for the synthesis of more complex molecules.

Structural Transformations of Metal-Organic Cages through Tetrazine-Alkene Reactivity.

The assembly of metal-organic cages is governed by metal ion coordination preferences and the geometries of the typically rigid and planar precursor ligands. PdL cages are among the most structurally diverse, with subtle differences in the metal-ligand coordination vectors resulting in drastically different assemblies, however almost all rely on rigid aromatic linkers to avoid the formation of intractable mixtures. Here we exploit the inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction between tetrazine linker groups and alkene reagents to trigger structural changes induced by post-assembly modification.

Reported is the first asymmetric total synthesis of sarglamides A, C, D, E, and F within 7 steps, featuring an intermolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition of ()-phellandrene and 1,4-benzoquinone and intramolecular (-)Michael addition to construct the tetracyclic core of sarglamides. Importantly, our work demonstrated that the hypothetic Diels-Alder reaction of α-phellandrene with dienophile toussaintine C (or analogues) originally proposed as a biosynthetic pathway was not viable under non-enzymatic conditions.

Catalyst-free and reversible step-growth Diels-Alder (DA) polymerization has a wide range of applications in polymer synthesis and is a promising method for fabricating recyclable thermoplastics. The effectiveness of polymerization and depolymerization relies on the chemical building blocks, often utilizing furan as the diene and maleimide as the dienophile. Compared to the traditional diene-dienophile or two-component approach that requires precise stoichiometry, cyclopentadiene (Cp) can serve dual roles via self-dimerization.

A practical and efficient method to access polysubstituted aryl sulfides has been discovered via a Lewis acid-catalyzed reaction between alkynyl sulfide and 2-pyrone, involving a Diels-Alder/retro-Diels-Alder pathway. Alkynyl sulfide as an electron-rich dienophile and 2-pyrones as electron-poor dienes are conjunctively transformed into a series of polysubstituted aryl sulfides with broad functional group compatibility in good to excellent yields (40 examples, 43-88% yield). The robustness and practicality of the protocol has been demonstrated through gram-scale synthesis and the ease of transformation of the resulting products.

By virtue of their high electrophilic nature, benzynes serve as reactive dienophiles in numerous cycloaddition reactions. However, in situ generation of benzyne involves either base-mediated thermal reactions, low-temperature conditions, or metal-catalyzed reactions of substituted arenes. This limits the applicability of benzynes as suitable dipolarophiles in cycloaddition reactions.
