Abstract
The Lewis acid catalyzed reaction of a D-glucose derived functionalized cyclohex-2-enone 1 with furan provided the 1,4-conjugate adducts 3 and 4. On the other hand, thermal intermolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition of 1 with 1,3-cyclohexadiene provided two endo-cycloadducts 5 and 6 in a good combined yield. The intramolecular cycloaddition of sorbic acid ester 20 of the allylic alcohol 19, prepared from 1, proceeded under thermal conditions to give a mixture of highly functionalized decalin derivatives 21-23, whose stereostructures were determined by chemical modification.
