Sequential cross-metathesis/cyclopropanation: short syntheses of (+/-)-cascarillic acid and (+/-)-grenadamide
Salim, Hani,Piva, Olivier
, p. 2059 - 2062 (2007)
The total synthesis of (+/-)-cascarillic acid has been achieved by a sequential cross-metathesis/Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation between, respectively, 1-octene with an appropriate unsaturated carboxylic acid. In parallel, a direct access to grenadamide was developed from 1-nonene with a readily available unsaturated amide. In both cases, the chemical yields were high (up to 98%) and the E/Z ratio was near 80/20. The synthesis of a dibromocyclopropane analogue has also been considered.

Specklin, Simon,Fenneteau, Johan,Subramanian, Parthasarathi,Cossy, Janine
supporting information, p. 332 - 336 (2018/01/17)
The ring-opening of gem-difluorocyclopropyl acetaldehydes producing selectively (E,E)- and (E,Z)-conjugated fluorodienals is described. Two stereo-divergent methods are presented to access both stereoisomers from a common precursor, in high yield and selectivity. The mechanistic aspect of these transformations is discussed.

supporting information, p. 8663 - 8666 (2017/07/17)
A Michael addition initiated cyclopropanation/retro-Claisen rearrangement tandem reaction was developed for the enantioselective synthesis of highly functionalized 2,5-dihydrooxepines. In the presence of a chiral oxazaborolidinium ion (COBI) catalyst, the reaction proceeds to give good yields and high enantioselectivity.

Chiral electrophilic selenium catalysts have been applied to catalytic asymmetric transformations of alkenes over the past two decades. However, highly enantioselective reactions with a broad substrate scope have not yet been developed. We report the first successful example of this reaction employing a catalyst based on a rigid indanol scaffold, which can be easily synthesized from a commercially available indanone. The reaction efficiently converts β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids into various enantioenriched γ-butenolides under mild conditions.
Taming the carboxyl group for directed carbometalation: Observations on the use of anions, dianions and ester enolates

Carboxylate anions, dianions and ester enolates provide simultaneous protection and activation for directed carbometalation reactions. Advantage can be taken of the bis-carbanionic character of the intermediate for further controlled C-C bond forming reac
Merging domino and redox chemistry: Stereoselective access to di- and trisubstituted β,γ-unsaturated acids and esters
Tejedor, David,Mendez-Abt, Gabriela,Cotos, Leandro,Garcia-Tellado, Fernando
supporting information; experimental part, p. 3468 - 3472 (2012/04/23)
Merging is the game! The coupling of a domino reaction and an internal neutral redox reaction constitutes an excellent manifold for the stereoselective synthesis of di- and trisubstituted olefins featuring a malonate unit, an ester, or a free carboxylic acid as substituents at the allylic position (see scheme; MW=microwave). The reaction utilizes simple starting materials (propargyl vinyl ethers), methanol or water as solvents, and a very simple and bench-friendly protocol. Copyright
Method for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of (E)-Β,γ- unsaturated acids from aldehydes under solvent-free conditions
Zhang, Shi-Jie,Hu, Wei-Xiao
experimental part, p. 3093 - 3100 (2010/12/19)
Synthesis of (E)-β,-γunsaturated acids from aldehydes with malonic acid has been explored under solvent-free conditions. The modified Knoevenagel condensation reaction with N-methyl morpholine (NMM) as catalyst exhibits highly β,-γ regioselectivity and exclusively E-stereoselectivity. A mechanism accounting for both regio- and stereoselectivity has been proposed and preliminarily studied. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
Metabolism of deuterated erythro-dihydroxy fatty acids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Enantioselective formation and characterization of hydroxylactones
Garbe, Leif-A.,Morgenthal, Katja,Kuscher, Katrin,Tress, Roland
experimental part, p. 993 - 1007 (2009/02/07)
Epoxides of fatty acids are hydrolyzed by epoxide hydrolases (EHs) into dihydroxy fatty acids which are of particular interest in the mammalian leukotriene pathway. In the present report, the analysis of the configuration of dihydroxy fatty acids via their respective hydroxylactones is described. In addition, the biotransformation of (±)-erythro-7,8- and -3,4-dihydroxy fatty acids in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was characterized by GC/EI-MS analysis. Biotransformation of chemically synthesized (±)-erythro-7,8- dihydroxy(7,8-2H2)tetradecanoic acid ((±)-erythro- 1) in the yeast S. cerevisiae resulted in the formation of 5,6-dihydroxy(5,6- 2H2)dodecanoic acid (6), which was lactonized into (5S,6R)-6-hydroxy(5,6-2H2)dodecano-5-lactone ((5S,6R)-4) with 86% ee and into erythro-5-hydroxy(5,6-2H2)dodecano-6- lactone (erythro-8). Additionally, the α-ketols 7-hydroxy-8-oxo(7- 2H1)tetradecanoic acid (9a) and 8-hydroxy-7-oxo(8- 2H1)tetradecanoic acid (9b) were detected as intermediates. Further metabolism of 6 led to 3,4-dihydroxy(3,4- 2H2)decanoic acid (2) which was lactonized into 3-hydroxy(3,4-2H2)decano-4-lactone (5) with (3R,4S)-5=88% ee. Chemical synthesis and incubation of (±)-erythro-3,4-dihydroxy(3,4- 2H2)decanoic acid ((±)-erythro-2) in yeast led to (3S,4R)-5 with 10% ee. No decano-4-lactone was formed from the precursors 1 or 2 by yeast. The enantiomers (3S,4R)- and (3R,4S)-3,4-dihydroxy(3- 2H1)nonanoic acid ((3S,4R)- and (3R,4S)-3) were chemically synthesized and comparably degraded by yeast without formation of nonano-4-lactone. The major products of the transformation of (3S,4R)- and (3R,4S)-3 were (3S,4R)- and (3R,4S)-3-hydroxy(3-2H 1)nonano-4-lactones ((3S,4R)- and (3R,4S)-7), respectively. The enantiomers of the hydroxylactones 4, 5, and 7 were chemically synthesized and their GC-elution sequence on Lipodex E chiral phase was determined.
