β¦ Synopsis
Sumary: Highly diastereoselective intramolecular alkylation of acyclic ester system was developed based upon allylic strain concept as an approach to tram-hydrindane system.
Stereoselective construction of trans-hydrindane nucleus has been a continuous challenge to synthetic organic chemists.' In connection with our studies on synthesis of optically active steroid CD ring, we have envisioned that intramolecular alkylation of ester such as 1 would provide cyclohexanecarboxylate 3 in a stereoselective manner through a conformation 2 where allylic hydrogen and OR (or ON) group are eclipsed:' Straightforward elaboration of functional groups in compound 3 would lead to trans-hydrindane 4 . Very recently Fleming, Koga, Yamamto, and McGarvey reported successful cases of diastereoselective alkylation of acyclic esters with chirality at beta position during the course of our work.2 X Me

The cross conjugated ~-keto ester system was shown to be an excellent promoter for the intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation to facilitate the rapid construction of highly functionalized phenanthrene and chrysene derivatives.
A concise and efficient synthesis of the trans-hydrindane system has been achieved by a novel intramolecular S N 2% enolate alkylation/ring-closing metathesis (RCM) strategy with a good degree of stereocontrol.
