The cannabinoid side chain is a key pharmacophore in the interaction of cannabinoids with their receptors (CB1 and CB2). To study the stereochemical requirements of the side chain, we synthesized a series of cannabinoids in which rotation around the C1'-C2' bond is blocked. The key steps in the synthesis were the cuprate addition of a substituted resorcinol to (+)-apoverbenone, the TMSOTf-mediated formation of the dihydropyran ring, and the stereospecific introduction of the beta-11-hydroxymethyl group. All the analogs tested showed nanomolar affinity for the receptors, the cis-hept-1-ene side chain having the highest affinity for CB1 (Ki = 0.89 nM) and showing the widest separation between CB1 and CB2 affinities. The parent n-heptyl-beta-11-hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol was the least potent binding to CB1 (Ki = 8.9 nM) and had the lowest selectivity between CB1 and CB2.

High diastereoselection in a samarium(II) iodide-promoted ketyl-olefin cyclization reaction has been achieved using tartramide-derived keto allylic acetals as chiral auxiliaries. The unique features of the reaction include the fact that remote diastereoselection is achieved in a radical process and that high levels of stereochemical induction are observed at both new stereocenters created in the transformation. The source of the asymmetric induction is postulated to be a highly ordered, tricyclic transition structure made possible by three-point chelation between the ketyl intermediate and the samarium counterion. As such, this transformation also demonstrates the first example of the use of a chelating metal to affect high levels of remote asymmetric induction in a radical reaction. Because of this chelation, the sense of relative stereoselectivity is unusual for a SmI 2 -mediated cyclization, providing consistently high ratios of cis/trans isomers. A double-diastereodifferentiating experiment provides additional support for this mechanistic hypothesis. The preparation of enantiomerically enriched cyclopentanediols and -lactols can be achieved through this novel asymmetric cyclization protocol.

The intramolecular ionic Diels-Alder reaction of alpha-acetylenic acetals as a precursor of the propargyl cation has been investigated in the presence of Lewis acids and in protic acids. The reaction of diene-tethered alpha-acetylenic acetals (1-2) with formic acid yielded the regioselective intramolecular ionic Diels-Alder reaction products, bicyclodienal (9) and bicyclodienone (11) derivatives, in good yields.
