โฆ Synopsis
A concise synthesis of the polycycle 27, which incorporates the 5,5,7-tricyclic ring core of rameswaralide 1, using a biogenetically inspired acid-catalysed [4+3]-cycloaddition approach starting from the furanobutenolide 26 is described, namely, 26?28/29?27. Under thermal conditions, the same furanobutenolide 26 gives the alternative polycyclic compound 35, resulting from a [4+2]-cycloaddition involving the furan as dienophile.

Quinine effectively catalyzes an intramolecular Michael-type addition of 7-hy&oxy-8tigloylcoumarin to give a diastereoisomeric mixture of the corresponding cyclized coumarin with a 2,3dimethyl-4-chromanone skeleton. Satisfactory enantioseleetivity was observed in a cis-chromanone construction, but n
