The catalytic system composed by the laccase from Trametes versicolor and the oxy-radical TEMPO has been successfully applied in the sustainable oxidation of fourteen propargylic alcohols. The corresponding propargylic ketones were obtained in most cases in quantitative conversions (87–>99 % yield), demonstrating the efficiency of the chemoenzymatic methodology in comparison with traditional chemical oxidants, which usually lead to problems associated with the formation of by-products. Also, the stereoselective reduction of propargylic ketones was studied using alcohol dehydrogenases such as the one from Ralstonia species overexpressed in E. coli or the commercially available evo-1.1.200, allowing the access to both alcohol enantiomers mostly with complete conversions and variable selectivities depending on the aromatic pattern substitution (97–>99 % ee). To demonstrate the compatibility of the laccase-mediated oxidation and the alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed bioreduction, a deracemization strategy starting from the racemic compounds was developed through a sequential one-pot two-step process, obtaining a selection of (S)- or (R)-1-arylprop-2-yn-1-ols with excellent yields (>98 %) and selectivities (>98 % ee) depending on the alcohol dehydrogenase employed.
Regioselectivity Switch in Palladium-Catalyzed Allenylic Cycloadditions of Allenic Esters: [4+1] or [4+3] Cycloaddition/Cross-Coupling

The first Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allenylic [4+1] cycloaddition was successfully developed. Alternatively, tuning the Pd catalyst switched the reactivity toward an unprecedented [4+3] cycloaddition/cross-coupling. Ligands play a vital role in controlling the reaction pathway, allowing highly selective access to different products from identical substrates. Biological evaluation of the obtained compounds led to the discovery of new antitumor targets. A possible mechanism is proposed, suggesting two interesting catalytic cycles for the cycloaddition with palladium-butadienyls. This study also demonstrated the potential and utility of allenic esters as 1,4-biselectrophiles and C4 synthons for participating in cycloaddition reactions.

In this paper, a palladium-catalyzed [3+2] annulation of allenyl carbinol acetates with azomethine imines has successfully been developed under mild reaction conditions, affording biologically interesting tetrahydropyrazoloisoquinoline derivatives in high to excellent yields and with excellent stereoselectivity. The reaction follows a tandem [3+2] cycloaddition/allylation/elimination of AcOH pathway. Allenyl carbinol acetates also reacted well with in situ generated azomethine imine under cocatalysis of Ag(i)/Pd(0) catalysts in a similar reaction pathway.

supporting information, p. 3554 - 3557 (2016/08/16)
A mild Zn-catalyzed intermolecular Diels-Alder/ene tandem reaction with styrene as a 4π-component is reported. A variety of dihydronaphthalene products could be prepared in moderate to good yields. Moreover, a combination of DFT calculations and experiments was performed to further understand the mechanism of this unique tandem reaction.
