Abstract: | A short, 4-step route to the scaffold of frondosin A and B is reported. The [1-methoxycarbonyl-5-(2',5'-dimethoxyphenyl)pentadienyl]Fe(CO)(3)(+) cation was prepared in two steps from (methyl 6-oxo-2,4-hexadienoate)Fe(CO)(3). Reaction of this cation with isopropenyl Grignard or cyclohexenyllithium reagents affords (2-alkenyl-5-aryl-1-methoxycarbonyl-3-pentene-1,5-diyl)Fe(CO)(3) along with other addition products. Oxidative decomplexation of these (pentenediyl)iron complexes, utilizing CuCl(2), affords 6-aryl-3-methoxycarbonyl-1,4-cycloheptadienes via the presumed intermediacy of a cis-divinylcyclopropane. |
