A synthetic route to the quassinoids was developed. Two-stage annelation of 2-methylcyclohexaone with 1-chloro-3-pentanone gives tricyclic dienone 9 (60%), which is oxidized by acetyl chromate in acetic acid to give dienedione 27 (80%). Bisketalization of this material followed by hydrolysis of the conjugated enone ketals provides monoketal 30 (77%), along with recovered 27. Ring C of 30 is functionalized by the Stiles and Reich methods to obtain the unsaturated keto ester 33 (73%). The latter material reacts with ketene acetal 35 at 5-6 kbar [kilobarometer] and room temperature to give an adduct that is desilylated by treatment with aqueous KF; keto diester 39 is produced in 95% yield. Epoxidation of 39 occurs smoothly with m-CPBA to give 46 (88%), which is converted into allylic alcohol 40 by the 2-step Sharpless procedure (78%). Finally, pyridinium chlorochromate induces solvolytic cyclization of 40, affording [lactone] 41 in 55% yield. In the course of the investigation, it was also discovered that .beta.-keto ester 46 is oxidized by m-CPBA to 47 [1-l-dimethylethyl(.+-.)-(4''.alpha.,4''a5*,5''a.beta.,6''a.beta.,7''.alpha.,8''.beta.,10''a.alpha.,10b.beta.)-decahydro-8''-hydroxy-8''-(methoxycarbonyl)-4'',6a,10''b,trimethyl-9''-oxospiro[1,3-dioxolane-2,3-(4''H)-[2H]-phenanthro-[8a,9-b]oxirene]-7''-acetate] in quantitative yield.
