A series of γ-butyrolactone derivatives, including some spiranic ones, was obtained through desymmetrization of the corresponding prochiral 3-substituted cyclobutanones via Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-catalyzed oxidation. After reaction optimization using several commercial enzymes, both antipodes of various lactones were synthesized in most cases with >90% conversion and >80% enantiomeric excess under mild reaction conditions. In some cases alcohol formation was also observed (up to 40% conversion) as an undesired side reaction due to the presence of alcohol dehydrogenases in these preparations. Selected transformations were achieved on a 100 mg scale showing the possibilities of these oxidative biocatalysts as a new source of highly interesting compounds.

We describe herein a synthetically useful method for the enantioselective intermolecular Heck-Matsuda arylation of acyclic allylic alcohols. Aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates were applied as arylating agents in the presence of Pd(TFA)2 and a chiral, commercially available, bisoxazoline ligand. The methodology is straightforward, robust, scalable up to a few grams, and of broad scope allowing the synthesis of a range of β-aryl-carbonyl compounds in good to high enantioselectivities and yields. This new enantioselective Heck-Matsuda arylation allowed the synthesis of β-aryl-γ-lactones and β-aryl aldehydes, which play a vital role as key intermediates in the synthesis of the biologically active compounds, such as (R)-baclofen, (R)-rolipram, (S)-curcumene, (S)-dehydrocurcumene, and (S)-tumerone.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Asymmetric Baeyer-Villiger reaction of symmetrical cyclobutanones 1a-j with urea-hydrogen peroxide (UHP) can be catalyzed by a complex of Pd(II) and the new terpene-derived P,N-ligand 7. The resulting lactones 2a-j were obtained in high yields and with good enantioselectivity (≤81% ee).
