Acanthoside-D, one of major components of Acanthopanacis Cortex, is known as a ginseng-like substance. it has been known to possess diverse biological effects. Acanthoside-D has a furofuran lignan structure and the synthesis of which poses interesting and often unsolved proplems of stereocontrol. Although a few interesting syntheses providing this natural product have been reported, an intermolecular McMurry coupling - intramolecular Mitsunobu cyclization route has not yet been explored. We report here a short and efficient synthetic pathway to the total synthesis of Acanthoside-D from aryl aldehydes and methyl acrylates via Baylis-Hillman reaction, intermolecular McMurry coupling and intramolecular Mitsunobu cyclization as key reaction.

The intramolecular cyclization of 1,1-bis-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethane was shown to take place upon anodic oxidation at carbon electrodes in acetonitrile or in a solvent-mixture containing dichloromethane, trifluoroacetic acid(TFA). Yields are low in the former solvent due to the fact that the cyclized product (9-methyl-2,3,6,7-tetramethoxyfluorene) is more easily oxidized than it's precursor and the oxidation product is not stable. In the presence of TFA, the cation radical derived from the oxidation of the cyclized product is stabilized thus, after reduction may be isolated with better yields.

Facile and efficient syntheses of terpenic perfumeries cis-jasmone, dihydrojasmone, and tetrahydrojasmone have been investigated. Cis-jasmone was synthesized by successive metallation followed by alkylation of acetone N,N-dimethylhydrazone with (Z)-2-penten-1-yl tosylate (or 2-pentyn-1-yl tosylate) and propylene oxide in one flask to give a ketonic alcohol, which was oxidized to the corresponding diketone, followed by base-catalyzed intramolecular aldol condensation to give a regioselective cyclization product. Dihydrojasmone and tetrahydrojasmone could be conveniently obtained from 2-octanone. The dimethylhydrazone of the ketone was lithiated with butyllithium and reacted with propylene oxide to give a ketonic alcohol, which was oxidized to a diketone, followed by base-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization to afford dihydrojasmone. Tetrahydrojasmone was prepared by converting the ketonic alcohol into corresponding iodoketone, followed by base-catalyzed intramolecular cycloalkylation to furnish an odoriferous product.

The Lewis acid mediated intramolecular additions of allylsilanes to acetal substrates are described. Excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity are achieved by boron trifluoride promoted cyclization of allysilane-acetals 5 and 8 derived from hydroxy allysilances 3. Cyclizations occur in moderate to high yields, providing directr routes to cis-2, 6-disubstituted 4-methylenetetrahydropyrans 6 and 9.

Gold-catalyzed tandem cyclization-oxidative alkynylation and cyclization-fluorination reactions of 2-alkynone O-methyloximes are described. The reactions proceed smoothly at room temperature in the presence of 10 mol % of $(PPh_3)AuNTf_2$, 2.5 equivalents of selectfluor, and 2 equivalents of $K_3PO_4$. 2-Alkynone O-methyloximes undergo intramolecular oxyauration/cyclization and ensuing oxidative cross-coupling and fluorination process to afford the corresponding 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazoles in a cascade manner.

An efficient synthesis of 3-halofurans by the intramolecular cyclization of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones with cupric halide has been developed. A broad range of 3-chloro- and 3-bromofuran derivatives could be obtained in the present method in moderate to good yields. The 3-halofuran derivatives are potential synthetic intermediates for amplification of molecular complexity.
