Two novel carbon skeletons (3S,3a′R)-6′-(methylthio)-5′, 7a′-dihydro-1′H-spiro[indoline-3,3′-isoxazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidine]-2,4′(3a′H)-dione (11a) and 3-(methylthio)-4a,5,7,11c- tetrahydropyrimido[4′,5′:3,4][1,2]oxazino[6,5-b]indol-1(2H)-one (12a) are characterized as hydride donors. The generation of these hydride sources during the spiroannulation reaction between isatin (4) and pyrimidine (5) through the free radical mechanism, was confirmed by (i) the increase in the stoichiometric yields of 11 and 12 when the same reaction was carried out in the presence of free radical initiators (e.g., mCPBA) and (ii) the formation of oxazepine (14) when AIBN was used as free radical initiator. The PKIE [K H/KD] values 4.5 and 4.9 obtained when deuterated 11a (d) was used in the presence of TFA and TFA-d, respectively, suggest the hydride transfer step to be the rate determining step. These hydrides donors selectively reduce aldehyde in the presence of other reducible groups.

Racemic and optically active 4-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecanes were prepared in six steps from butane-1,2,4-triol and valerolactone with the longest linear sequence being four steps.
Sime3-based homologation-epoxidation-cyclization strategy for ladder THP synthesis
Heffron, Timothy P.,Jamison, Timothy F.
, p. 2339 - 2342 (2003)
(Matrix presented) A trimethylsilyl (SiMe3) group is the basis of a strategy that emulates the three fundamental proposed processes in ladder polyether biosynthesis: chain homologation, stereoselective epoxidation (>95% ee or >95:5 dr), and endo-selective, stereospecific (inversion) hydroxyepoxide cyclization (>95:5 endo:exo, >95% dr). A tris-THP was synthesized in 18 total operations from commercial materials using this approach.
GaCl3-Catalyzed Ring-Opening Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis
Albright, Haley,Vonesh, Hannah L.,Becker, Marc R.,Alexander, Brandon W.,Ludwig, Jacob R.,Wiscons, Ren A.,Schindler, Corinna S.
, p. 4954 - 4958 (2018)
The development of a Lewis acid-catalyzed ring-opening cross-metathesis reaction which enables selective access to acyclic, unsaturated ketones as the carbonyl-olefin metathesis products is described. While catalytic amounts of FeCl3 were previously identified as optimal to catalyze ring-closing metathesis reactions, the complementary ring-opening metathesis between cyclic alkenes and carbonyl functionalities relies on GaCl3 as the superior Lewis acid catalyst.
Expansion of substrate scope for nitroxyl radical/copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols: A guideline for catalyst selection

Four distinctive sets of optimum nitroxyl radical/copper salt/additive catalyst combinations have been identified for accommodating the aerobic oxidation of various types of primary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes. Interestingly, less nucleophilic catalysts exhibited higher catalytic activities for the oxidation of particular primary allylic and propargylic alcohols to give α,β-unsaturated aldehydes that function as competent Michael acceptors. The optimum conditions identified herein were successful in the oxidation of various types of primary alcohols, including unprotected amino alcohols and divalent-sulfur-containing alcohols in good-to-high yields. Moreover, N-protected alaninol, an inefficient substrate in the nitroxyl radical/ copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation, was oxidized in good yield. On the basis of the optimization results, a guideline for catalyst selection has been established.

Air-stable iron carbonyl compounds bearing cyclopentadienone ligands with varying substitution were explored as catalysts in dehydrogenative diol lactonization reactions using acetone as both the solvent and hydrogen acceptor. Two catalysts with trimethylsilyl groups in the 2- A nd 5-positions, [2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-(CH2)4(δ4-C4C= O)]Fe(CO)3 (1) and [2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-(CH2)3(δ4-C4C= O)]Fe(CO)3 (2), were found to be the most active, with 2 being the most selective in the lactonization of diols containing both primary and secondary alcohols. Lactones containing five-, six-, and seven-membered rings were successfully synthesized, and no over-oxidations to carboxylic acids were detected. The lactonization of unsymmetrical diols containing two primary alcohols occurred with catalyst 1, but selectivity was low based on alcohol electronics and modest based on alcohol sterics. Evidence for a transfer dehydrogenation mechanism was found, and insight into the origin of selectivity in the lactonization of 1°/2° diols was obtained. Additionally, spectroscopic evidence for a trimethylamine-ligated iron species formed in solution during the reaction was discovered.
Selective oxidation of exogenous substrates by a bis-Cu(III) bis-oxide complex: Mechanism and scope

Cu(III)2(μ-O)2 bis-oxides (O) form spontaneously by direct oxygenation of nitrogen-chelated Cu(I) species and constitute a diverse class of versatile 2e?/2H+ oxidants, but while these species have attracted attention as biomimetic models for dinuclear Cu enzymes, reactivity is typically limited to intramolecular ligand oxidation, and systems exhibiting synthetically useful reactivity with exogenous substrates are limited. OTMPD (TMPD = N1, N1, N3, N3-tetramethylpropane-1,3-diamine) presents an exception, readily oxidizing a diverse array of exogenous substrates, including primary alcohols and amines selectively over their secondary counterparts in good yields. Mechanistic and DFT analyses suggest substrate oxidation proceeds through initial axial coordination, followed by rate-limiting rotation to position the substrate in the Cu(III) equatorial plane, whereupon rapid deprotonation and oxidation by net hydride transfer occurs. Together, the results suggest the selectivity and broad substrate scope unique to OTMPD are best attributed to the combination of ligand flexibility, limited steric demands, and ligand oxidative stability. In keeping with the absence of rate-limiting C–H scission, OTMPD exhibits a marked insensitivity to the strength of the substrate Cα–H bond, readily oxidizing benzyl alcohol and 1-octanol at near identical rates.
Noncanonical cation-π cyclizations of alkylidene β-ketoesters: Synthesis of spiro-fused and bridged bicyclic ring systems
Parsons, Dylan E.,Frontier, Alison J.
supporting information, p. 2008 - 2012 (2019/03/26)
Three cation-π cyclization cascades initiated at alkylidene β-ketoesters bearing pendent alkenes are described. Depending upon the alkene substitution pattern and the reaction conditions employed, it is possible to achieve selective synthesis of the three different types of products, including 1-halo-3-carbomethoxycyclohexanes, spiro-fused tricyclic systems, and [4.3.1] bridged bicyclic ring systems. All three reactions begin with 6-endo addition of an olefin to the alkylidene β-ketoester electrophile, followed by one of three different cation capture events.

Sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate (NaOCl·5H 2 O) is capable of oxidizing alcohols in acetonitrile at 20 °C without the use of catalysts. The oxidation is selective to allylic, benzylic, and secondary alcohols. Aliphatic primary alcohols are not oxidized.
Rhodium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Conjugate Alkynylation/Aldol Cyclization Cascade for the Formation of α-Propargyl-β-hydroxyketones
Choo, Ken-Loon,Lautens, Mark
supporting information, p. 1380 - 1383 (2018/03/09)
A rhodium-catalyzed conjugate alkynylation/aldol cyclization cascade was developed. Densely functionalized cyclic α-propargyl-β-hydroxyketones were synthesized with simultaneous formation of a C(sp)-C(sp3) bond, a C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond, as well as three new contiguous stereocenters. The transformation was achieved with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities using BINAP as the ligand. The synthetic utility of the newly installed alkynyl moiety was exhibited by subjecting the products to an array of derivatizations.
