Abstract
A phosphine-promoted tandem Diels-Alder reaction using pentadienyl 4-nitrobenzoate (α-vinyl MBH adduct) as a diene precursor with 3-olefinic oxindoles or CF3-activated ketones as dienophiles has been developed. The reaction proceeds through the formation of a pentadienyl phosphonium intermediate via SN2'' addition, which acts as both a D-A diene and a precursor for the exomethylene moiety. This method offers a metal-free and step-efficient approach for synthesizing exomethylene-bearing spirooxindoles and dihydropyrans, which are privileged structures found in natural products.

Abstract
An unprecedented consecutive SN2'/SN2'' addition of phenol to γ-vinyl MBH carbonate forms a reactive diene intermediate, followed by a dimerization/elimination process to give functionalized exocyclohexenes with excellent chemoselectivity. When using o-hydroxychalcones as pronucleophiles, an SN2'/SN2''/intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction sequence occurs, selectively producing a series of pharmaceutically intriguing tricyclic chromane derivatives with good diastereoselectivity. The good nucleophilicity and fair nucleofugicity exhibited by phenoxy anion play a pivotal role in the SN2'' addition step.

Abstract
A biomimetic synthetic strategy has resulted in a two‐step total synthesis of (±)‐ulodione A and the prediction of two potential natural products, (±)‐ulodiones C and D. This work was guided by computational investigations into the selectivity of a proposed biosynthetic Diels–Alder dimerization, which was then utilized in the chemical synthesis. This work highlights how biosynthetic considerations can both guide the design of efficient synthetic strategies and lead to the anticipation of new natural products.
