The Co-catalyzed remote hydroboration and alkene isomerization of allylic siloxanes were realized by a ligand-controlled strategy. The remote hydroboration with dcype provided borylethers, while xantphos favored the formation of silyl enol ethers.

Isoenriched poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) is a biodegradable material with properties similar to isotactic polypropylene, yet efficient routes to this material are lacking after 50+ years of extensive efforts in catalyst design. In this contribution, a novel lanthanum aminobisphenolate catalyst (1-La) can access isoenriched P3HB through the stereospecific ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-β-butyrolactone (rac-BBL). Replacing the tethered donor group of a privileged supporting ligand with a non-coordinating benzyl substituent generates a catalyst whose reactivity and selectivity can be tuned with inexpensive achiral neutral donor ligands (e.g. phosphine oxides, OPR3). The 1-La/OPR3 (R = n-octyl, Ph) systems display high activity and are the most isoselective homogeneous catalysts for the ROP of rac-BBL to date (0 °C: Pm = 0.8, TOF ~190 h-1). Combined reactivity and spectroscopic studies provide insight into the active catalyst structure and ROP mechanism. Both 1-La(TPPO)2 and a structurally related catalyst with a tethered donor group (2-Y) operate under chain-end stereocontrol; however, 2-RE favors formation of P3HB with opposite tacticity (syndioenriched) and its ROP activity and selectivity are totally unaffected by added neutral donor ligands. Our studies uncover new roles for neutral donor ligands in stereospecific ROP, including suppression of chain-scission events, and point to new opportunities for catalyst design. This journal is

In contrast to methyl and isobutyl phenyl sulfone, condensing under basic conditions higher alkyl sulfones and trans-2,3-epoxy-butanol 13c (or its O-benzyl and O-silyl derivatives) proved unfeasible, a difficulty that was overcome by using mono ethers of trans-2,3-epoxy-butane-1,4-diol 35c as the electrophilic reagents. Thus, adding excess BuLi to a mixture of the benzyl ether 35b and sulfone ent-12a, a stereodiad sulfone prepared in pure state from the R-Roche ester, via the O-trityloxy-sulfone ent-12c (X-ray), gave, after elimination by column chromatography of the side-formed regioisomer, a diolsulfone that was next converted to sulfone 20 by means of conventional functional-group modifications. Reacting like-wise this sulfone with the parent O-PMB derivative 35a, and then proceeding to the same purification process and function adjustment, delivered the title fragment in virtually pure state.
