β¦ Synopsis
Recently Wenkert and coworkers 11 reported a broad study of Duels-Alder reaction of cyclohexenones with various 1,3-dienes under Lewis acid catalysis. However, Welzel and coworkers described 12 unsuccessful attempt of synthesis of A,B-ring system of forskolin through thermal Diels-Alder reaction of 4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexenone with silyloxy dienes. These authors subsequently synthesised A,B-rings of forskolin through Pumerer type reaction of sulfoxide obtained from 4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexenone. We report herein our studies on Diels-Alder reaction between the dlenone 71Β° and various 1,2-disubstituted -1,3-dlenes 8a-k, subsequent deformylatlon, eplmerisation, angular methylation, oxidation and reduction of the adducts (Figure 2).
