γ-Substituted α,β-unsaturated δ-lactone 14b was thermally cyclized via intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to afford tricyclic systems in sealed tube. Interestingly, the cis-octalin 16 predominated probably because of the presence of lactone ring. The cis-isomer must be a good candidate convertible to acyltetramic acid antibiotics.
