The electroreductive intermolecular coupling of aromatic ketones and aldehydes with α,β-unsaturated esters in the presence of TMSCl gave the adducts as γ-trimethylsiloxy esters. The detrimethylsilylation of the adducts with TBAF afforded 5-aryl substituted γ-butyrolactones. The electroreductive coupling of N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-arylmethaneimines with methyl acrylate in the presence of TMSCl gave the adducts as methyl 4-aryl-4-((4-methoxyphenyl)amino)butanoates. The adducts were transformed to 5-aryl-γ-butyrolactams by cyclization with NaH and subsequent oxidation with CAN. (±)-Norcotinine was prepared from nicotinaldehyde by this method. The electroreductive coupling of aromatic ketones and aldimines with acrylonitrile in the presence of TMSCl gave 4-aryl-4-(trimethylsiloxy)butanenitriles and 4-aryl-4-((4-methoxyphenyl)amino)butanenitriles, respectively.

As homoenolate equivalents, zirconocene-1-aza-1,3-diene complexes were used for the first time in stereoselective synthesis. By insertion of an unsymmetrical ketone in the Zr-C σ bond, sterically demanding trisubstituted dihydro- and tetrahydrofuran derivatives were prepared in good overall yields and with high diastereoselectivities (see below).
Direct generation of lithium homoenolates from 3-aryl α,β-unsaturated ketones or esters by an arene-catalysed lithiation: Synthesis of substituted tetrahydrofurans and γ-butyrolactones

The reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones 1 with an excess of lithium powder, a catalytic amount of naphthalene (4%) and different carbonyl compounds in the presence of boron trifluoride in THF at -78-0°C yields, after treatment with silyl nucleophile and final hydrolysis, the expected substituted tetrahydrofurans 5. Similar methodology applied to β-aryl acrylic esters 6, but without using boron trifluoride or silyl reagents yields the corresponding lactones 7.
