Abstract

Bicyclolactones obtained from the Diels-Alder cycloaddition of 3,5-dibromo-2-pyrone can undergo various palladium catalyzed cross coupling reactions to afford aryl bicyclolactones. The resulting coupled products can be readily converted into various 3-OH cyclohexenes via lactone ring openings, while those bearing dienyl units underwent highly diastereoselective Diels-Alder cycloadditions with selected dienophiles to funish multiply functionalized polycarbocycles. Bromo-bicyclic diene furnished two different diastereomers endo-form (62%) and exo-form (38%) upon cycloadditions with N-Et maleimide (NEM), and their stereochemistries were identified with NMR.
