A mild and operationally simple copper-catalyzed vinylogous aerobic oxidation of β,γ- and α,β-unsaturated esters is described. This method features good yields, broad substrate scope, excellent chemo- and regioselectivity, and good functional group tolerance. This method is additionally capable of oxidizing β,γ- and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, amides, nitriles, and sulfones. Furthermore, the present catalytic system is suitable for bisvinylogous and trisvinylogous oxidation. Tetramethylguanidine (TMG) was found to be crucial in its role as a base, but we also speculate that it serves as a ligand to copper(II) triflate to produce the active copper(II) catalyst. Mechanistic experiments conducted suggest a plausible reaction pathway via an allylcopper(II) species. Finally, the breadth of scope and power of this methodology are demonstrated through its application to complex natural product substrates.

A new method of producing metabolites of tibolone comprising fermenting tibolone with Rhizopus stolonifer (ATCC 12938) resulting in the formation of Δ4-Tibolone (C21H28O2), 6β-Hydroxytibolone, and 15β-Hydroxytibolone (C21H28O3) is reported.

Sixteen new and one known metabolites 4-20 were obtained by incubation of tibolone (1) and hydroxytibolones (2 and 3) with various fungi. Their structures were elucidated by means of a homo and heteronuclear 2D NMR and by HREI-MS techniques. The relative stereochemistry was deduced by 2D NOESY experiment. Metabolites of tibolone (1) exhibited significant inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and tyrosinase enzymes. Hydroxylations at C-6, C-10, C-11, C-15 positions and α,β-unsaturation at C-1/C-2, C-4/C-5 showed potent inhibitory activities against these enzymes.
