A general route for the synthesis of highly substituted aryl cyclopentanes has been developed involving Diels-Alder reaction of asymmetric dienes prepared from (+)-camphoric acid followed by aromatization of the resulting cyclohexene derivatives. Employing this protocol enantiospecific synthesis of (+)-herbertene and (+)-cuparene has been accomplished.
Total synthesis of the monoterpene β-necrodol has been accomplished. The key step involves an ortho-ester Claisen rearrangement in a highly sterically congested cyclopentane derivative resulting in a high level of 1,3-trans diastereoselection. A novel photo-induced decarboxylation of the obtained γ,δ-unsaturated acid afforded β-necrodol.
