An efficient one-pot synthesis of optically active β-alkyl-substituted alcohols through a tandem copper-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) with organolithium reagents and reductive ozonolysis is presented. Furthermore, hydroboration-oxidation following the Cu-catalyzed AAA leads to the corresponding homochiral γ-alkyl-substituted alcohols.
Rate-acceleration in gold-nanocluster-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterification using 1,2- and 1,3-diols and their derivatives

Aerobic oxidation of aldehydes to 1,2- and 1,3-diol monoesters was catalyzed by polymer-incarcerated gold nanoclusters under ambient conditions. The esterification proceeded much faster with 1,2- and 1,3-diols and their derivatives rather than with methanol. Magnum PI: Gold-nanocluster catalysts, PI-Au, that were immobilized on polystyrene-based polymers with cross-linking moieties, were used to catalyze the syntheses of 1,2 and 1,3-diol monoesters and their derivatives from aldehydes. The effect of neighboring-group participation in the esterification reaction is also described. Copyright

The bakers' yeast reduction of a series of 2-oxoalkyl arenecarboxylates (1a-f) (R=CH3 to n-C6H13; X=H) and the phenyl-modified derivatives (1g-l) (R=n-C5H11, X=OH, CH3, F, Cl, Br, or I) as well as 1-chloro-2-alkanones R(C=O)CH2Cl (6a-f) (R=CH3 to n-C6H13) were systematically investigated.The substrate specificities, configuration and percentee of the reduction products were found to be highly dependent on the length of the alkyl group (R) and the α substituent.Thus, the benzoates 1a-f gave optically active 2-hydroxyalkyl benzoates (2a-f) (R, configuration, percentee) (a: CH3, S, 99; b: C2H5, S, 98; c: C3H7, S, 26; d: n-C4H9, R, 55; e: n-C5H11, S, 15; f: n-C6H13, S, 63) in 11-91percent yields.Among the modification experiments of the phenyl group, 1g-l, the p-iodo substituent markedly increased the ee from 15 to 71percent, although the yield was rather lowered (22percent yield).The reduction of α-chloro ketones 6a-f also gave optically active 1-chloro-2-alkanols (7a-f) in 16-69percent yields.

The organotin-mediated monoesterification of unsymmetrical diols with reversed chemoselectivity has been explored to ascertain scope and limits of the method and to provide an easy and convenient synthetic procedure.The reaction has been performed on a set of substituted diols with some acylating agents usually employed as protecting groups.Two different procedures have been devised to obtain either the desired diol monoesters directly or the corresponding trialkylsilyl ethers as protected derivatives.The latter provides a convenient approach to the preparation of easily interconvertible diol monoesters.Also, the reaction has been optimized as a one-pot procedure, avoiding the isolation and purification of the stannylated intermediates.The reversed monoesterification method has been successfully applied to 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diols of primary-secondary, primary-tertiary, and secondary-tertiary types and to ether functions containing 1,2-diols.Within its limits, the described method represents the first direct one-pot monoesterification of diols at the most substituted site, allowing some remarkable achievements as (a) an almost regiospecific reversed monobenzoylation of some 1,2-diols, (b) the selective acylation of the tertiary hydroxyl of a primary-tertiary diol, and (c) a highly selective preparation of secondary pivalate of primary-secondary diols.
