Abstract
An efficient method was established for the synthesis of the optically active bicyclo[4.2.1]nonane segment of mediterraneols using diastereoselective sequential Michael reaction and then retro-aldol reaction.
Key words

7α,β-Unsaturated esters 6 and 8 were prepared from diol a [16] as shown in Scheme [5] :
Scheme 5 Reagents and conditions: For 6: A. TBDMS-Cl, Et3N, DMAP, CH2Cl2, r.t., 78% (based on SM recovered); B. i) DMSO, (COCl)2, Et3N, CH2Cl2, -78 °C, ii) Ph3P=C(CH3)CO2Et, benzene, r.t., 60% (2 steps). For 8: A. TBDPS-Cl, Et3N, DMAP, CH2Cl2, r.t., 79% (based on SM recovered); B. i) DMSO, (COCl)2, Et3N, CH2Cl2, -78 °C, ii) Ph3P=C(CH3)CO2Et, benzene, r.t., 63% (2 steps).
α,β-Unsaturated ester 10 was obtained from p-bromobenzoate b [17] as shown in Scheme [6] :
Scheme 6 Reagents and conditions: A. i) Acetone, H2SO4, benzene, 0 °C to r.t., 97%, ii) K2CO3, EtOH, r.t., 81%; B. i) DMSO, (COCl)2, Et3N, CH2Cl2, -78 °C, ii) Ph3P=C(CH3)CO2Et, benzene, r.t., 54% (2 steps).
The stereochemistry of 11a was determined based on chemical correlation with 5a, whose stereochemistry was previously elucidated. [6b] Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivative 11a was converted to aldehyde 13, [α]D -52.4 (c 0.33, CHCl3) (Scheme [2] ), whose spectral data and sign of optical rotation were found identical to aldehyde 13, [α]D -54.6 (c 0.29, CHCl3), which was converted from 5a as shown in Scheme [7] :
Scheme 7 Reagents and conditions: A. i) DIBALH, THF, -78 °C, ii) Bn-Br, NaH, THF-DMF, r.t., 93% (2 steps); B. i) HOAc-H2O (4:1), 60 °C, 91% (based on SM recovered), ii) NaIO4, MeOH-H2O, r.t., 85%.
Numbering of compounds is accordance with that of mediterraneol.
