A highly enantioselective, organocatalytic, and scalable synthesis of a very unusual cis-decalin-cis-hydrindane tricyclic diterpenoid system has been achieved. Despite the prevalent pharmacological space that the related trans,trans and trans,cis-systems occupy, there have been no reports of an asymmetric synthesis of the cis,cis systems in the literature until now. We demonstrate the flexibility of our approach not only through access to a diverse range of products, all of which are attained in exceptionally high selectivities, but also by showing their easy conversion to the corresponding trans,cis-system and other derivatives.

A highly efficient and practical synergistically metal/proton-catalyzed Conia-ene reaction for the synthesis of bicyclo[3.n.1]alkanones has been developed. This synergistic catalysis was successfully utilized in modifying natural compounds such as methyl dihydrojasmonate, α,β-thujone, and 5α-cholestan-3-one. Furthermore, the bridged carbonyl group of bicyclo[3.2.1]alkanones could be easily attacked by nucleophiles to give the ring-opened cycloheptenone products or bicyclo[4.2.1]amide in excellent yields. These reactions provide rapid access to a diverse range of cyclic structures from simple starting materials or naturally occurring compounds.

The treatment of succinic acid with lauroyl or stearoyl chloride gave the five-membered β-diketone (II) substituted with a long chain at the α-position, together with a trimer (III) of the acyl chloride.Bicyclononane-2,4-dione (VI) substituted with a methyl or ethyl group at the C3-position was prepared from cyclohexane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (V) and propionyl or butyryl chloride, respectively.D-Camphoric acid afforded an unexpected product, 4-acyl-2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopentenecarboxylic acid (IX), on reaction with acyl chloride.Although acetyl chloride gave no product on treatment with succinic acid, it afforded 3-acetylbicyclooctane-2,4-dione (XI), 3-acetylbicyclononane-2,4-dione (VId), and 2-acetylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (XII) on reaction with the corresponding dicarboxylic acids.Keywords - β-diketone; cyclic β-diketone; bicyclic β-diketone; dicarboxylic acid; aluminum chloride; acyl chloride; bicycloalkane-2,4-dione
