Peterson adducts have been known to stereospecifically give syn-elimination products upon treatment with base except when the product olefin is in conjugation with an electron-withdrawing group. The missing piece has been put in place by using a catalytic amount of DBU, by which syn-elimination could be effected to provide the thermally less stable Z-olefin from the anti-adduct with high selectivity.
Inter- and intramolecular differentiation of enantiotopic dioxane acetals through oxazaborolidinone-mediated enantioselective ring-cleavage reaction: Kinetic resolution of racemic 1,3-alkanediols and asymmetric desymmetrization of meso-1,3-polyols

Acetals derived from racemic 1,3-alkanediols undergo kinetic resolution in chiral oxazaborolidinonemediated ring-cleavage reaction with nucleophiles such as enol silanes and allylic silanes. Enantioselectivity of the reaction is affected by nucleophiles, the N-sulfonyl groups of oxazaborolidinones, and the substituents attached to the acetal carbon. For disubstituted acetals rac-1 and for trisubstituted acetal rac-2, derived from syn-2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentanediol, satisfactory enantioselectivity is obtained by using methallylsilane 7b,c as a nucleophile in combination with N-mesyloxazaborolidinone 4a. On the other hand, enantioselective reaction of trisubstituted acetal rac-3b, derived from anti-2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentanediol, is realized by using silyl ketene acetal 5e in combination with N-tosyloxazaborolidinone 4b. The reaction conditions optimized for the kinetic resolution, or enantiomer differentiating reaction, of the racemic acetals are successfully applied to asymmetric desymmetrization of meso-1,3-polyols through intramolecular differentiation of the enantiotopic acetal moieties of the bis-acetal derivatives. The utility of the ring-cleavage reaction as a method for enantioselective terminal differentiation of prochiral polyols is demonstrated in convergent asymmetric synthesis of pentol derivative 35 corresponding to the C(19)-C(27) ansachain of rifamycin S.

2,3-Bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,3-butadiene-1,4-dione (1) is formed as the only product on thermolysis of 3,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione (2), and the rate of ring opening of 2 is comparable to that of substituted cyclobutenes and cyclobutenones. Photolysis of 2 also forms 1, which reacts with ethanol in a stepwise fashion with faster addition of one ethanol molecule to give an isolable monoketene 18, which reacts in a further slower step to give succinate diesters, accompanied by desilylation. 2,3-Bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-1,3-butadiene-1,4-dione (3), prepared analogously to 1, similarly adds one molecule of methanol to give the isolable monoketene 20, which then reacts to give dimethyl 2,3-bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)succinate (21) as the major product. The reaction of 1 with H2O is faster than with alcohols and forms (E)- and (Z)-2,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)succinic anhydrides (13) as the first observed products. The reactivity of 1 with different nucleophilic solvents is correlated by the Winstein-Grunwald equation and increases with both solvent ionizing power and solvent nucleophilicity.
