Abstract
Here, we demonstrate a short synthetic route to pyrano cage systems containing pentacycloundecane units by employing ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as a key step. These cage systems were constructed starting with readily available starting materials by adopting atomic economic processes such as cycloadditions (Diels-Alder reaction and [2+2] cycloaddition), Grignard addition, and olefin metathesis. The key building block, such as hexacyclic cage dione, was prepared from 1,4-naphthoquinone derivative and freshly cracked 1,3-cyclopentadiene. Some of these heterocyclic motifs are useful in biological chemistry and valuable as key synthons for high-energy-density materials.
