- Preparation of ω-hydroxynonanoic acid and its ester derivatives
-
Methyl ricinoleate was ozonized in methanol or in acetic acid and the intermediate hydroperoxides were reduced electrochemically on Pb-cathode to give 9-hydroxynonanoic acid 1 in high yields. The acid 1 was also prepared by direct castor oil ozonolysis in methanol followed by sodium borohydride reduction of the intermediate hydroperoxides. The cost of the electricity for the electroreduction was at least 30 times lower as compared with sodium borohydride consumption. 9-Hydroxynonanoic acid was then transformed to alkyl 9-acetoxynonanoates 3a-3d, for which 1H nuclear magnetic reasonance, mass, and infrared spectra are given. Esterification of the hydroxy acid 1 with boric acid and pyrolysis of the resultant orthoborates produced 8-nonenoic acid 4 in a 45% yield. Reaction of 4 with lower aliphatic alcohols in presence of Amberlyst 15 produced alkyl 8-noneates 5a-5d along with some amounts of a cis/trans mixture of alkyl 7-noneates.

- Nickel-mediated reductive coupling of neopentyl bromides with activated alkenes at room temperature and its synthetic application
-
Reductive coupling of sterically hindered neopentyl bromides with activated alkenes mediated by the in situ generated Ni(0) complexes along with some feedstock is achieved in good yield under the mild conditions. This practically useful method of C(sp3)?C(sp3) bond formation provides a complementary approach to the traditional conjugate addition of preformed organometallic reagents to electrophilic olefins, which often requires cryogenic temperature and rigorous exclusion of air and moisture. The robust application of this reductive coupling reaction was demonstrated in a formal synthesis of stereodivergent (?)-copacamphor and (?)-ylangocamphor, which are valuable intermediates for a class of tricyclo[5.3.0.03,8]decane sesquiterpenes. Moreover, this convenient protocol resulted in a facile access to the homolog of Corey aldehyde en route to prostaglandins, implying the possible involvement of radical-like species.

- Z -selective ethenolysis with a ruthenium metathesis catalyst: Experiment and theory
-
The Z-selective ethenolysis activity of chelated ruthenium metathesis catalysts was investigated with experiment and theory. A five-membered chelated catalyst that was successfully employed in Z-selective cross metathesis reactions has now been found to be highly active for Z-selective ethenolysis at low ethylene pressures, while tolerating a wide variety of functional groups. This phenomenon also affects its activity in cross metathesis reactions and prohibits crossover reactions of internal olefins via trisubstituted ruthenacyclobutane intermediates. In contrast, a related catalyst containing a six-membered chelated architecture is not active for ethenolysis and seems to react through different pathways more reminiscent of previous generations of ruthenium catalysts. Computational investigations of the effects of substitution on relevant transition states and ruthenacyclobutane intermediates revealed that the differences of activities are attributed to the steric repulsions of the anionic ligand with the chelating groups.

- Efficient iridium-catalyzed decarbonylation reaction of aliphatic carboxylic acids leading to internal or terminal alkenes
-
Vaska's complex, IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2, when combined with KI as an additive, served as an excellent catalyst for the decarbonylation of long-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids to give internal alkenes with high selectivity. On combination with KI and Ac2O as additives under controlled temperatures, decarbonylation proceeded to give terminal alkenes with high selectivity.

In the pocket: The supramolecular interactions between a Rh phosphine catalyst equipped with an anion-binding pocket and alkenes that contain anionic functionalities (see picture) provide an excellent design concept to achieve remote control of the regioselectivity in hydroformylation reactions. The 4-pentenoate and 3-butenylphosphonate, which fit tightly between the Rh center and the pocket, were hydroformylated with unprecedented selectivity.

- Construction of carbo- And heterocycles using radical relay cyclizations initiated by alkoxy radicals
-
An efficient method for the rapid construction of carbo- and heterocycles has been developed using radical relay cyclizations initiated by alkoxy radicals. Linear substrates were cyclized to form a wide range of cyclopentane, pyrrolidine, tetrahydropyran, and tetrahydrofuran derivatives in excellent yields. This methodology was utilized as a key step in the synthesis of the tetrahydrofuran fragment in (-)-amphidino-lide K.

- PREPARATION OF TERMINAL ALKENIC ESTERS BY AN OXIDATIVE RADICAL REACTION
-
A general method is described for the conversion of (mono)alkenic esters with the double bond at the nth C atom to terminal alkenic esters of (n-1) C atoms in length, with the double bond at n-2.Ozonolysis, either in methanol or in light petroleum, is followed by reaction with a mixture of ferrous and cupric salts.Methyl 10-undecenoate, methyl oleate (methyl (Z)-9-octadecenoate) and methyl erucate (methyl (Z)-13-docosenoate) were converted to methyl 8-nonenoate, methyl 7-ocotenoate and methyl 11-dodecenoate respectively.An improved preparation of 5-hexenoic acid is also described.

- Bifunctional compounds from reaction of alkoxy hydroperoxides with metal salts
-
Alkoxy hydroperoxides, obtained by ozonizing olefins in alcoholic solution, were treated with ferrous sulfate. C-C bond scission and radical formation was followed by dimerization of the radicals formed. Ozonides reacted similarly. Acyclic and cyclic olefins, including a cyclic enol ether, gave rise to a range of α,ω-disubstituted products in modest yields. By using ferric chloride, ω-chloro esters were obtained from the alkoxy hydroperoxides derived from olefinic esters.

- Metamorphosis of Castor Oil to Insect Sex-pheromones and Useful Synthons
-
The primary fragmentation products of Castor oil (1), namely, methyl undec-10-enoate (2) and sebacic acid (3) have been converted, using novel reactions and strategies into synthons of the type H-CC-(CH2)n-3-CH2OTHP (n=6=4; n=7=14; n=8=22; n=9=29).A surprisingly clean decarboxylative elimination of sebacic acid monoester gives methyl non-8-enoate (7), a synthon related to recefeiolide and a precursor to 4, the utility of which, has been illustrated with the synthesis of insect-pheromones of the species Grapholita molesta.Methyl dec-9-enoate (15) has been prepared by a novel and practical terminal ? to lower terminal ? degradation of 2.Compound 7 has been transformed via synthon 14 to the insect sex-pheromones of the species, Spodoptera frugiperda, Heliothis virescens and Paralobesia viteana in high yields and excellent stereochemical purity. 1-Tetrahydropyranyloxyundec-10-yne (22) readily prepared from 2, has been used to illustrate a new strategy in pheromone synthesis, namely, the use of coupling elements, leading to the preparation of bombykol in high yields and excellent stereochemical purity. 1-Tetrahydropyranyloxydodec-11-yne (29), already reported, has been transformed to vaccenic acid (30), the transposed ?-isomer of oleic acid, in good yields, thus demonstrating the use of acetylide synthons for the preparation of rare fatty acids also.
