Macrocyclic α,β-unsaturated thioketones 2 generated by thionation of the corresponding ketones 1, readily underwent the transannular hetero Diels-Alder reaction highly stereoselectively to yield the trans-fused cycloadducts 3, which were converted into the oxonin derivatives 5 via reductive desulfurization with Raney nickel.
