- 4-Substituted bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-diones I [R = acetyl, benzyl, allyl, etc.] have been synthesized and tested as substrates in the enantioselective redn. with baker's yeast to give the corresponding hydroxy ketones II [R = acetyl, benzyl, allyl, etc.]. It was found that the deriv. bearing a TIPSO group at the 4-position was not reduced at all while that with a TBDMSO group gave 87% yield and 46% ee. Other 4-oxy functionalized derivs. were reduced with varying yields (36-87%) and ees (10-82%). The best result was obtained for the 4-Oallyl deriv. (80% yield, 82% ee). The hydroxy ketones carrying the benzyloxy and allyloxy groups at the 4-position were converted into the corresponding BODOLs III [R = allyl, benzyl], which were tested as catalysts in the diethylzinc addn. to benzaldehyde. In this reaction the ees were 90% and 89%, resp., which showed that BODOLs substituted at the 4-position are essentially as good catalysts in this reaction as those bearing a hydrogen.

- Paclitaxel is one of the most important anti-cancer agents introduced during the last 20 years. However, the use of paclitaxel is limited by undesirable side effects as well as the development of drug resistance. Here, we report a synthetic strategy towards spiro-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives, which includes double Michael addition and ring-closing metathesis as key synthetic steps. This strategy was used to synthesize a series of spiro-bicyclic compounds designed to be paclitaxel mimetics, which were evaluated in human breast-derived cell lines. One of these paclitaxel mimetics showed toxicity, although at higher concentrations than paclitaxel itself. In addition, two other spiro-bicyclic compounds, lacking the paclitaxel side chain, showed toxicity.
