An interesting issue of Diels-Alder selectivity discovered en route to 11-O-debenzoyltashironin

(Diagram presented) The hypervalent iodine-mediated oxidative dearomatization/Diels-Alder cascade was examined in the context of the natural product 11-O-debenzoyltashironin. Interestingly, the regioselectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction can be completely switched by changing the dienophile. Trapping of allyl alcohols during the oxidative dearomatization gives rise to the five-membered acetal, while trapping of allenyl alcohols results in the six-membered acetal.

Indium-mediated coupling of aldehydes 1 with prop-2-ynyl bromides 2 occurs regioselectively to give either homoprop-2-ynyl alcohols 4 or allenylic alcohols 3 depending on the γ-substituent of the prop-2-ynyl bromide.
Chemistry of gem-Dihalocyclopropanes. XVII. Cyclopropylidene Incertion. Formation and Ring Opening of Bicyclobutan-2-olate

Reactions of gem-dibromocyclopropanemethanol derivatives 3a-3e with methyllithium lead to allenic alcohols 4a-4h and products which derive from ring opening of an intermediate bicyclobutan-2-olate (17).The latter is formed by insertion of the respective cyclopropylidene into a C-H bond.Evidence for 17 was obtained from deuterium labelling experiments.This ring opening generally occurs by a carbanion mechanism, but in the case of 3d the intermediate bicyclobutanolate rearranged to the acyclic aldehyde 10, apparently by a thermal mechanism.The secondary alcohols 3f-3h reacted with methyllithium to give the corresponding allenes exclusively, which was also the case with ethers 3i-3l derived from the primary alcohols.
