Tandem Wittig rearrangement/aldol reactions for the synthesis of glycolate aldols

A new tandem Wittig Rearrangement/aldol reaction of O-benzyl or O-allyl glycolate esters is described. This reaction generates two carbon-carbon bonds and two contiguous stereocenters in a single step from simple starting materials. The [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement proceeds under very mild reaction conditions that do not require the use of a strong base, and the 1,2-diol products are obtained in good yield with excellent diastereoselectivity (>20:1).

Photochemically induced coupling reaction of triarylstibines with olefins

Photoreaction of triarylstibines with styrenes resulted in the formation of 2-aryl-1-phenylethanols accompanied by air oxidation. Formation of the products has been explained by the valence expansion of the oxygen-antimony- styrene complex to a five-valent intermediate, followed by reductive coupling.
