摘要：

Synthesis of angularly tricyclopentanoid sesquiterpenes, was investigated via tricyclo[7.3.0.0^]dodecane derivatives using intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction or intramolecular double Michael reaction as a key step. (1) Highly Stereoselective Total Synthesis of (±)-3-Oxosilphinene via Intramolecular Diels-Alder Reaction-(E,E)-3-(8-Phenylthio-octa-5,7-dien-2-yl)-2-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one (19) was prepared from the bromocyclopentenone (16) in three steps. Cycloaddition of 19 gave only one stereoisomer of the tricyclo[7.3.0.0^]dodecene (20) having all correct four contiguous asymmetric centers. The cyclo-adduct (20) was converted into the tricyclo[6.3.0.0^]undecane (25) via Wolff rearrangement. According to usual procedures, the ester (25) was then transformed into (±)-3-oxosilphinene (1). (2) Synthetic Study of Pentalenene and Pentalenic Acid via Intramolecular Double Michael Reaction-Barbier reaction of 4,4-dimethyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one (34) followed by oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate gave the enone (36), which was converted into the bis-enone (33) in four steps. Intramolecular double Michael reaction of 33, carried out by heating with trimethylsilyl chloride, triethylamine, and zinc chloride, gave tricyclo[7.3.0.0^]dodecanediones (40), which were subjected to Wolff rearrangement to afford the tricyclo[6.3.0.0^]undecanes (41) possessing all carbon skeleton of natural products (4 and 5).
