An unprecedented enantioselective and general olefin isomerization was realized via biomimetic proton transfer catalysis with a new chiral organic catalyst. A broad range of mono- and disubstituted β,γ-unsaturated butenolides were transformed into the corresponding chiral α,β- unsaturated butenolides in high enantioselectivity and yield in the presence of as low as 0.5 mol % catalyst. Mechanistic studies have revealed the protonation as the rate-determining step.

The intramolecular cyclization of γ-ketocarboxylic acids and their esters gives 5-alkylsubstituted 3H-thiolen-2-ones and 3H-furan-2-ones.It was shown that reaction occured at the heterocyclic methylene group and that the conditions under which the reaction took place depended on the nature of the heterocyclic atom.
