Gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization and diels-alder reaction of 1,4,9-dienyne esters to 3 a,6-methanoisoindole esters with pro-inflammatory cytokine antagonist activity

A synthetic method to prepare 3a,6-methanoisoindole esters efficiently by gold(I)-catalyzed tandem 1,2-acyloxy migration/Nazarov cyclization followed by Diels–Alder reaction of 1,4,9-dienyne esters is described. We also report the ability of one example to inhibit binding of tumor necrosis factor-α...
