An efficient and enantioselective synthesis of d-biotin 1 starting from cis-1,3-dibenzyl-2-imidazo-lidone-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (6) is described. The key steps are the enantioselective reduction of meso-1,2-dicarboxylic thioanhydride 8 to prepare the (3as, 6ar)- thiolactone 9 and the introduction of the C6 side chain at C-2 in 9 via a modified Grignard reaction. This novel synthesis proceeded in six steps to afford 1 with 21% overall yield.
Metal ion effects on the rate of intramolecular O-alkylation of the anion of ethyl(3-chloropropyl)acetoacetate

The retarding effect of alkali metal and alkaline-earth metal ions on the rate of intramolecular O-alkylation of the title compound has been thoroughly investigated in 99% aqueous Me2SO at 25°C. Rate data have been dissected into contributions of free ions (ki) and ion pairs (kip). Comparison of the present results with available data for intramolecular C-alkylation of a strictly related system, reveals that rate-depressing effects due to cation pairing turn out to be remarkably similar in the two processes, which is at variance with the expectation of a more pronounced cation dependence of the kip/ki ratios for O-alkylation than for C-alkylation.
