The enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) can promiscuously catalyze various carboligation reactions using acetaldehyde as a nucleophile. However, the highly reactive nature of acetaldehyde requires intricate handling, which can impede its usage in practical synthesis. Therefore, we investigated three enzymatic routes to synthesize acetaldehyde in situ in one-pot cascade reactions with 4-OT. Two routes afforded practical acetaldehyde concentrations, using an environmental pollutant, trans-3-chloroacrylic acid, or a bio-renewable, ethanol, as starting substrate. These routes can be combined with 4-OT catalyzed Michael-type additions and aldol condensations in one pot. This modular systems biocatalysis methodology provides a stepping stone towards the development of larger artificial metabolic networks for the practical synthesis of important chemical synthons.

Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane-catalyzed C?C bond functionalization of arylallyl alcohols using donor-acceptor carbenes is presented. The allylic hydroxyl group is found to assist the product formation by neighboring group participation providing a clue towards mechanistic understanding. This method can also be employed to effect homologation of allyl alcohols to homoallyl alcohols. Overall, this metal-free transformation presents a novel disconnection strategy towards carbon-carbon bond scission and formation. (Figure presented.).

A gold-catalyzed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction has been developed. The intermolecular rearrangement occurs between in situ generated donor-acceptor gold-carbenes and cinnamyl alcohols via tandem oxonium ylide formation. The desired rearranged product has been accomplished selectively over more conventional O-H insertion, cyclopropanation, cycloaddition, and C-H functionalization products under mild, open-air conditions. The scope of the work has been illustrated by synthesizing a new class of substrates that can be used for constructing complex molecular targets.
