The treatment of primary or secondary alkyl iodides with sBu2Mg in toluene (25–40 °C, 2–4 h) provided dialkylmagnesiums that underwent various reactions with aldehydes, ketones, acid chlorides or allylic bromides. 3-Substituted secondary cyclohexyl iodides led to all-cis-3-cyclohexylmagnesium reagents under these exchange conditions in a highly stereoconvergent manner. Enantiomerically enriched 3-silyloxy-substituted secondary alkyl iodides gave after an exchange reaction with sBu2Mg stereodefined dialkylmagnesiums that after quenching with various electrophiles furnished various 1,3-stereodefined products including homo-aldol products (99 % dr and 98 % ee). Mechanistic studies confirmed a radical pathway for these new iodine/magnesium-exchange reactions.

The self-sufficient cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP505E3 from Aspergillus terreus catalyzes the regioselective in-chain hydroxylation of alkanes, fatty alcohols, and fatty acids at the ω-7 position. It is the first reported P450 to give regioselective in-chain ω-7 hydroxylation of C10–C16 n-alkanes, thereby enabling the one step biocatalytic synthesis of rare alcohols such as 5-dodecanol and 7-tetradecanol. It shows more than 70 percent regioselectivity for the eighth carbon from one methyl terminus, and displays remarkably high activity towards decane (TTN≈8000) and dodecane (TTN≈2000). CYP505E3 can be used to synthesize the high-value flavour compound δ-dodecalactone via two routes: 1) conversion of dodecanoic acid into 5-hydroxydodecanoic acid (24 percent regioselectivity), which at low pH lactonises to δ-dodecalactone, and 2) conversion of 1-dodecanol into 1,5-dodecanediol (55 percent regioselectivity), which can be converted into δ-dodecalactone by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase.
Chemo- and Regioselective Functionalization of Polyols through Catalytic C(sp3)-C(sp3) Kumada-Type Coupling of Cyclic Sulfate Esters
Ramírez-Contreras, Rodrigo,Morandi, Bill

This contribution describes a copper-catalyzed, C(sp3)-C(sp3) cross-coupling reaction of cyclic sulfate esters, a distinct class of electrophilic derivatives of polyols, with alkyl Grignard reagents to afford functionalized alcohol products in good yields. The method is operationally simple and highlights the potential of cyclic sulfate esters as highly reactive substrates in catalytic, chemoselective polyol transformations.
Chiral N,N-Dialkylnorephedrines as Catalysts of the Highly Enantioselective Addition of Dialkylzincs to Aliphatic and Aromatic Aldehydes. The Asymmetric Synthesis of Secondary Aliphatic and Aromatic Alcohols of High Optical Purity

The chiral N,N-dialkylnorephedrine-catalyzed addition of dialkylzincs to aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes afforded secondary alcohols of high optical purity (to > 95percent ee).Among the N,N-di(primary alkyl)norephedrines, N,N-di-n-butylnorephedrine (DBNE, 3d) was found to be the most effective catalyst. 1-Phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)propan-1-ol (3i) and N,N-diallylnorephedrine (3j) were also highly effective catalysts.The method described provides optically active secondary aliphatic alcohols of high optical purity which cannot be prepared by conventional methods.
