RESUMO

Our main objective is to take advantage of the well known π-facial diastereoselectivity of (SS)-2-tolylsulfinyl-1,4-benzoquinones, in the Diels-Alder reactions, to obtain, via photo-thermal olefin metathesis, enantiopure precursors of capnellene and ikarugamycin. The formation of an inseparable mixture of products in the reaction of commercially available methylcyclopentadiene and (SS)-2-tolylsulfinyl-1,4-benzoquinone made this route unsuitable for obtaining capnellene. For the synthesis of ikarugamycin, the 5 and 6-methyl-2-(SS)-tolylsulfinyl-1,4-benzoquinones were prepared but, in spite of the good π-diastereoselectivity they exhibited, in the reaction with 1,3-cyclohexadiene, spontaneous elimination of sulfenic acid from the formed adducts precluded their use. In an attempt to overcome this very easy elimination, a chlorinated quinone was synthesized but it showed oxidizing properties in the presence of 1,3-cyclohexadiene.
