The 1-oxadecalin unit serves as the structural core for a number of naturally occurring compounds, including the reduced furochroman phomactin A (1, Figure 1), 1 as well as a variety of diterpenoids such as forskolin (2), 2 jamesoniellide E (3), 3 and scutorientalin D (4). 4 Many of these compounds exhibit intriguing biological properties, though the diverse array of structural features present in these systems make them challenging synthetic targets. Our interest in the development of new strategies for the synthesis of complex substrates, in particular toward the preparation of the PAF antagonist phomactin A, led us to consider a general approach to the synthesis of highly functionalized 1-oxadecalone derivatives. 5 Our goal in this endeavor was to develop an expedient entry to the basic 6, 6-ring system, while at the same time providing sufficient functionality to allow for subsequent synthetic manipulation. Toward this end, we envisaged that the Diels-Alder reaction of a suitably functionalized 2, 3-dihydro-4-pyrone with a diene would effectively meet these criteria. Though several related examples have appeared using chromone6 and pyrone7 derivatives as dienophiles in [4+ 2] cycloaddition reactions, to the best of our knowledge, dihydropyrones of this type have not previously been utilized in this application. Herein we report the successful implementation of this strategy for the synthesis of highly functionalized 1-oxadecalone derivatives.In practice, we chose to explore the reactivity of 2, 3-dihydro-4-pyrones that contain an electron-withdrawing substituent at C5 (eg, 5). 8 We anticipated the need for this functionality to enhance the reactivity of these substrates as dienophiles relative to that of the parent dihydropyrones. 9 As the C5 substituent of the dihydropyrone would ultimately be located at the ring junction of the 1-oxadecalone unit, incorporation of diverse functionality at this position would provide added flexibility in the application of this method to the synthesis of more complex systems. As shown,
