Popis: The enantioselective synthesis of both caprolactam and enone synthons for the DEFG ring system of zoanthenol are described. The evolution of this synthetic approach proceeds first through a synthesis using the chiral pool as a starting point. Challenges in protecting group strategy led to the modification of this approach beginning with (±)-glycidol. Ultimately, an efficient approach was developed by employing an asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reaction. The caprolactam building block can be converted by an interesting selective Grignard addition to the corresponding enone synthon. Addition of a model alkyne provides support for the late-stage addition of a hindered alkyne into the caprolactam building block.
