In depth headspace analysis of the slow degradation of β-alkylthioalkanones in ambient air led to the discovery of a novel δ-cleavage pathway, by which β-mercaptoketones are released. Since β-mercaptoketones are potent natural aroma compounds occurring in many fruits, herbs and flowers, the discovery of an enzyme-independent molecular precursor for this class of high-impact molecules is of practical importance. Moreover, the formation of β-diketones and aldehydes by concomitant oxidation at the α-sulfur-position enhances the versatility of this class of aroma precursors. A mechanistic model is proposed which suggests that the oxidative degradation occurs through a novel Pummerer-type rearrangement of initially formed persulfoxides.

The construction of chiral multiple-substituted cyclohexanes motifs is a challenging topic in organic synthesis. By the combination of desymmetrization and remote stereocontrol, a ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenative desymmetrization of 2,2,5-trisubstituted 1,3-cyclohexanediones has been successfully developed for the construction of chiral multiple-substituted cyclohexanes with high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. When an ester group was introduced to the two-position, a hydrogenative desymmetrization/transesterification cascade occurred, affording the bicyclic lactones bearing three stereocenters, including two discrete stereocenters and one quaternary stereogenic center, with high enantioselectivity. The products are the multiple-substituted chiral cyclohexanes bearing the hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups, which provide a new opportunity for further precise elaboration.
Synthetic approaches to phomactins: Novel oxidation of homoallylic alcohols using tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate

Previous studies of a synthesis of phomactin A had resulted in the synthesis of a 15-methylenebicyclo[9.3.1]pentadecadiene. The next step in the synthesis was to be the epoxidation of this methylenecyclohexane that was hoped would lead to a 1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexene by rearrangement of the exocyclic epoxide, but the epoxidation was difficult to carry out regioselectively on advanced intermediates. However, oxidation of a 15-methylenebicyclo[9.3.1]pentadeca-3,7-dien-14-ol using tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate and N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide led to conversion of this homoallylic alcohol into the corresponding 14-oxobicyclo[9.3.1]pentadeca-1(15),3,7-triene-15-carboxaldehyde in one step. Reduction of this using DIBAL-H gave a promising intermediate for a synthesis of a phomactin. The scope of this oxidation of homoallylic alcohols was briefly investigated.
