The search for natural products and related analogs as potential anticancer agents has seen a significant growth worldwide. Since small sized propargylic diols can be found in nature and chemically synthesized, their evaluation against cancer cells has been of great interest, being a topic of relevance to be investigated. For this purpose, a scalable approach aiming at the synthesis of several propargylic diols and their bioactivity against seven tumor cell lines were evaluated. Interestingly, when the compound 1a, a natural product produced by fungus Clitocybe catinus, was tested in its racemic mixture a more effective activity was observed if compared when enantiopure R-1a or S-1a were tested separately.

This manuscript describes the application of α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium intermediates in a Michael-Michael-lactonisation cascade process to furnish δ-lactones. Generation of α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium intermediates was achieved upon addition of isothiourea catalyst HyperBTM into α,β-unsaturated acid chlorides. Subsequent reaction with enone-malonates gave access to δ-lactones in 20-64% yield, 72.5:27.5 to 95:5 er and 81:19 to >95:5 dr. Additionally, application of a ring-opening protocol yielded 1,2,3,4-substituted cyclopentanes in 28-77% yield, 76:24 to 98:2 er and 86:14 to >95:5 dr. Interestingly, the highest er was observed at high reaction temperatures, with 70°C proving optimal. This effect was investigated by conducting an Eyring analysis, which indicated that differential activation entropy rather than differential activation enthalpy is responsible for enantiodiscrimination in this process.

The combination of Pd catalyst and diethylzinc with triethylborane promotes the amphiphilic allylation of aldimines with 2,3-bismethylenebutane-1,4-diol derivatives to serve as bis-allylic zwitterion species to form 3,4-bismethylenepiperidines via a formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. 3,4-Bismethylenepiperidine rings are applicable for the synthesis of isoquinoline derivatives via the Diels-Alder reaction followed by an oxidation reaction with DDQ.
