Enantioselective cyanocarbonation of ketones with chiral base

, p. 11320 - 11330 (2006)
A highly enantioselective cyanocarbonation of dialkyl ketones catalyzed by commercially available and easily recyclable cinchona alkaloid derivatives has been developed. The reaction provides a useful approach for the enantioselective construction of tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters. Mechanistic studies have been carried out to shed light on the origin of the catalytic activity of the cinchona alkaloid and the asymmetric induction step.
Ring-Chain Tautomerism Provides a Route to 7a-Hydroxy-3a-methyl-2,7-dioxoperhydrobenzofuran. Synthesis of the Hydroxy γ-Lactone Substructure of Myrocin and Other Bioactive Natural Products

(2-Oxocyclohexyl)acetic acid 10 was converted into bicyclic alkoxy γ-lactones 12a-d via intermediate chloro lactone 11 and alkanolysis.Similarly, lactones 15a,b and 18 were prepared.In contrast, simple ring-chain tautomerism directly afforded the title heterocycle 28, a crystalline, stable and welldefined compound.The angular methyl group seems essential for the spontaneous lactonization. 5,5-Dialkoxy-4-oxocarboxylic acids 26a, b without an angular methyl group did not cyclize to bicyclic hydroxy γ-lactones. - Key Words: Hydroxy lactone, 5-membered, (lactol) tautomer / 4-Oxocarboxylic acids / Keto-cyclol tautomerism.
