- Selective transformations of carbonyl functions in the presence of α,β-unsaturated ketones: Concise asymmetric total synthesis of decytospolides A and B
-
Enones selectively react with a combination of PPh3 and TMSOTf to produce phosphonium silyl enol ethers, which work as protective groups of enones during the reduction of other carbonyl functions and can be easily deprotected to regenerate parent enones at workup. Furthermore, the first ketone selective alkylations in the presence of enones were also accomplished. This in situ protection method was applied to concise asymmetric total syntheses of decytospolides A and B.

- A new variant of the Claisen rearrangement from malonate-derived allylic trimethylsilyl ketene acetals: Efficient, highly enantio- and diastereoselective syntheses of (+)-methyl dihydroepijasmonate and (+)-methyl epijasmonate
-
Complete chirality transfer occurs in the smooth Claisen rearrangement of the trimethylsilyl (TMS) ketene acetals, which were prepared from allylic malonates (R)-1 (R = pentyl, 2-(Z)-pentenyl). These are in turn accessible by enantioselective reduction/esterification or by enzymatic kinetic resolution. The cis configuration in (+)-3 was achieved by highly syn-selective epoxidation of (+)-2, followed by suprafacial 1,2-H migration.

- Asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketones using trans-chelating chiral peralkylbisphosphine ligands bearing primary alkyl substituents on phosphorus atoms
-
Asymmetric hydrosilylation of simple ketones with diphenylsilane proceeded at -40 °C in the presence of a rhodium complex (0.001 - 0.01 molar amount) coordinated with a trans-chelating chiral bisphosphine ligand bearing linear alkyl substituents on the phosphorus atoms, (R,R)-(S,S)-Et-, Pr-, or BuTRAP, giving the corresponding optically active (S)- secondary alcohols with up to 97% ee. The asymmetric hydrosilylation using TRAP ligands with bulkier P-substituents resulted in much lower enantioselectivities. The EtTRAP-rhodium catalyst was also effective for asymmetric hydrosilylation of keto esters with a coordination site for a rhodium atom (up to 98% ee). Optically active symmetrical diols were obtained with up to 99% ee from the corresponding diketones via the asymmetric reduction using 2.5 molar amounts of diphenylsilane.

- Titanocene-catalyzed asymmetric ketone hydrosilylation: The effect of catalyst activation protocol and additives on the reaction rate and enantioselectivity
-
The efficient asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketones with a chiral titanocene catalyst has been realized. In this procedure, (R,R)-ethylenebis(tetrahydroindenyl) titanium difluoride (1) was used as the precatalyst, and alcohol additives were employed. Arom
