Review highlights advances in the intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction, focusing on natural product synthesis, indicating its growing significance in synthetic organic chemistry.
Recent advances and examples of the intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction are summarized and applications to the total synthesis of natural products, both completed and in progress, noted. A detailed discussion of trienes leading to bicyclo[4.3.0]nonene skeletons is followed by examples of bicyclo[4.4.0]decenes and adducts arising from ortho-quinodimethane precursors. Cycloadditions affording bicyclo[n.4.0] systems and bridged-ring adducts from cyclic dienes conclude this survey which is followed by a discussion of unreactive trienes and a brief analysis of synthetic strategy to complete the review.
