Abstract

Sequential Diels‐Alder additions of methylvinyl ketone and dehydrobenzene to 2, 3, 5, 6‐tetramethylidene‐7‐oxanorbornane (4) yielded the (5, 12‐epoxy‐1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12‐octahydro‐2‐naphtacenyl) methyl ketone (10) which, in few steps was oxidized to a precursos of (±)‐4‐demethoxydaunomycinone. The preparations of two precursors of anthracyclinones, the (5‐acetoxy‐) and (12‐acetoxy‐1, 2, 3, 4‐tetrahydro‐2‐naphtacenyl) methyl ketones (14, 15) are presented. The synthesis of 6, 13‐epoxy‐6, 13‐dihydropentacene (8) is also reported.

## Abstract A short synthesis of the title compound **13** is reported. The acetal group in **13** enables one to control the regio‐ and stereoselectivity of the two successive __Diels__‐__Alder__ additions of the tetraene. The first addition is significantly faster than the second one, thus making
