✦ Synopsis
Application of the α‐Alkynone Cyclization: Synthesis of rac‐Modhephene
rac‐Modhephene 1, the first sesquiterpene with a propellane C‐skeleton and its epimer rac‐epi‐modhephene 27, were synthesized starting from bicyclo[3.3.0]oct‐1(5)‐en‐2‐one (2). The key step in the construction of the [3.3.3]‐propellane system is an application of the α‐alkynone cyclization, namely 3 → 4 and 11 → 14. The preferred formation of the propellanes 4 and 14 in this step shows that the insertion of the postulated alkylidene carbene intermediate into tertiary C,H‐bonds outweighs the one into the secondary ring‐C,H‐bonds leading to 12/13 and 15/16, respectively. The two starting materials for the α‐alkynone cyclization, 3 and 11, were prepared from 2 by the reactions shown in Scheme 3. The further elaboration and separation of the cyclization products 4 and 14 to rac‐modhephene 1 and its epimer 27 are outlined in Scheme 5.
