โฆ Synopsis
Cyclic 2-thiomethyl-5-amidofurans possessing tethered p-bonds were prepared by a dimethyl(methylthio) sulfonium tetrafluoroborate (DMTSF) induced cyclization of various amido dithioacetals. Upon heating, these systems undergo an intramolecular 4+2-cycloaddition reaction. The initially formed Diels-Alder cycloadduct further rearranges by ring opening of the oxygen bridge followed by a subsequent 1,2-thiomethyl shift.

An attempt to utilize a new strategy for alkaloid synthesis which features the intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of enamines and enamides for the construction of the tetracyclic spiroamine skeleton characteristic of the ~rythrina alkaloids was unsuccessful, unexpectedly giving a bridged cycloadduct
A new Rh-catalyst system has been developed for the [4+2] and [5+2] cycloaddition reactions. This new system shows high reactivity at room temperature and the Rh-center bears tunable phosphine ligands. Up to 1000 turnovers have been obtained for the [4+2] cycloaddition reaction at room temperature.
