Electrostatic interactions between a silylated isothiourea intermediate and an ester π system were explored by determining how variations in sterics and electronics affect the selectivity of a silylation-based kinetic resolution. Sterics on the π systems affect the selectivity factors of alkyl 2-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylates, resulting in a strong correlation of selectivity factors to Charton values. Induction effects of electron-withdrawing substituents on phenyl esters significantly enhance selectivity supporting an edge to face π–π interaction. The linear free energy relationships that were uncovered will aid in future incorporation of intermolecular electrostatic interactions towards controlling asymmetric reactions.
Copper-catalyzed, stereoconvergent,: Cis -diastereoselective borylative cyclization of ω -mesylate- α, β -unsaturated esters and ketones

The Cu(i)-catalyzed stereoconvergent borylative cyclization of ω-mesylate-α,β-unsaturated compounds is facilitated by a simple Cu-bisphosphine catalyst. This reaction provides a novel route to cis-β-boron-substituted five- and six-membered carbocycle and heterocycle esters. Mechanistic studies indicate that stereoconvergence and cis-substitution likely stem from the rapid enolation of the borylcopper adduct with the substrate double bond and the formation of a five-membered intermediate, respectively.
Candida antarctica lipase B-catalyzed reactions of β-hydroxy esters: Competition of acylation and hydrolysis

, p. 92 - 97 (2013/11/19)
The ester function of ethyl cis-(±)-2-hydroxycyclopentane-1- carboxylate [(±)-1] and ethyl (±)-5-hydroxycyclopent-1- enecarboxylate [(±)-2] was demonstrated to undergo hydrolysis, as a side-reaction, during asymmetric (E > 200) O-acylation with Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) as catalyst and vinyl acetate as acyl donor in t-BuOMe at 30 C. This competition of acylation and undesirable hydrolysis draws attention to CAL-B-catalyzed non-hydrolytic resolutions where the substrates contain any hydrolysable functions. Enantiomerically enriched cis-2-hydroxycyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid (ee = 90%) and 5-hydroxycyclopent-1- enecarboxylic acid (ee = 47%) were prepared through de novo CAL-B-catalyzed hydrolysis of (±)-1 and (±)-2 with added H2O in t-BuOMe at 30 C.

Lipases A and B from Candida antarctica are shown to be highly efficient and complementary biocatalysts for the resolution of five- to seven-membered cyclic β-hydroxy esters by O-acylation. Using this procedure, all four stereoisomers of each one are obtained in enantiopure form and very high yields.

(equation presented) A novel Reformatsky-type reaction was developed using RhCl(PPh3)3 and diethylzinc. Inter- and intramolecular Reformatsky-type reactions were achieved efficiently under mild reaction conditions to give β-hydroxy esters.
