Incorporation reactions of carbon dioxide (CO2) with N-Boc-α-amido and α-acetoxy stannanes were developed using CsF as a mild tin activator. Monoprotected α-amido stannanes could be used, and the corresponding arylglycine derivatives were obtained in moderate-to-high yields under 1 MPa (10 atm) of CO2 pressure. α-Acetoxy stannanes also underwent carboxylation to afford mandelic acid derivatives in excellent yields under ambient CO2 pressure. Both transformations enabled the synthesis of α-tertiary and α-quaternary carboxylic acid derivatives. In addition, the chirality of (S)-N-tert-butylsulfonyl-α- amido stannanes was transferred with up to 90% inversion of configuration at 100 °C.

The insertion reaction of alkylidene carbenes is demonstrated to be an effective method for the synthesis of 2,5-dihydrofuran ring systems. The best results have been obtained on substrates containing electron-withdrawing substituents, which appear less prone to the competing rearrangement reaction. This insight has led to the development of a new method for the synthesis of the core structure of the squalestatin-zaragozic acid natural products.
Acyclic stereoselection in the tertiary amine-catalysed addition of activated vinyl systems (Baylis-Hillman reaction) to protected chiral α-hydroxy and α-amino aldehydes

The non chelation-controlled aldol-type addition of the ambident vinyl α anions derived from acrylic esters and methyl vinyl ketone to a series of protected chiral α-hydroxy and α-amino aldehydes has been investigated in order to assess some of the factors which contribute to the control of the diastereofacial selectivity.Whlist the α-methylene-β,γ-disubstituted carbonyl products showed a general preference for selectivity, some examples of syn predominance were made possible via a 'substituent tuning'approach.The observed diastereomer ratios have been interpreted in terms of the Felkin model and the Anh-Eisenstein proposals for 1,2-asymmetric induction.Simple steric effects appear to be as important as ?-orbital energies in the designation of the large 'anti group' for the application of these transition-state interpretations.Attempts to improve the overall induction via double diastereoselection approach, which combines the 1,5-induction of chiral acrylates with the 1,2-induction already present, were largely inconclusive.Methods for the routine NMR assignment of the relevant stereo-substructures have been assessed and the use of novel complementary technique is described.
