The product is formed by a [6+3] cycloaddition, followed by a 1,5-hydrogen shift of the initially formed [6+3] adduct. The reaction was found to be general and a number of fulvenes with a wide range of substituents at the exocyclic double bond, that is, at the C6 position followed a similar reactivity pattern. The [6+3] adduct, a 5-8 fused oxabridged cyclooctanoid, is potentially amenable to a number of synthetic transformations due to the presence of an alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone and cyclopentadiene part. By selecting appropriately substituted fulvene and pyranulose acetates, it is possible to use this methodology for the synthesis of a wide range of 5-8 fused cyclooctanoids. The experimental results have been rationalized on the basis of theoretical calculations. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
