A concise and efficient approach was established for the divergent total synthesis of (±)-tanshindiol B and C and tanshinone I from a ubiquitous ene intermediate in 1-2 steps. This critical intermediate was derived from (±)-tanshinol B, which was synthesized in 50% overall yield over 3 steps using an ultrasound-promoted cycloaddition as a key step. Compared to a previously reported strategy, our approach is more step-economic, thus greatly improving the synthetic efficiency. The bioactivity evaluation indicates that the diol stereochemistry of the tanshidiols has an impact on the EZH2 inhibitory activity.

The ultrasound-promoted Diels-Alder reaction of 3-methyl-4,5-benzofurandione with appropriately substituted vinylcyclohexenes has led to the synthesis of tanshinone IIA, nortanshinone, tanshindiol B, methyl tanshinonate, and tanshinone IIB, biologically active metabolites of the Chinese traditional medicine, Dan Shen, prepared from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge.Methyltanshinquinone, the dihydro derivative of the natural product, methylenetanshinquinone, was similarly prepared.The effect of ultrasound in promoting the cycloadditions parallels that of high pressure and improved the regioselectivity in favour of the natural isomers.
