Utilizing a chiral bicyclic imidazole organocatalyst and adopting a continuous injection process, an alternative route has been developed for the efficient synthesis of chiral phthalidyl ester prodrugs via dynamic kinetic resolution of 3-hydroxyphthalides through enantioselective acylation (up to 99 % ee). The computational studies suggest a general base catalytic mechanism differing from the widely accepted nucleophilic catalytic mechanism. The structure analysis of the key transition states shows that the CH-π interactions and not the previously considered cation/π-π interactions between the catalyst and substrate is the dominant factor giving rise to the observed stereocontrol.

Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H lactonization of o-methyl benzoic acid substrates has been achieved using molecular oxygen as the oxidant. This finding provides a rare example of C-H oxygenation through Pd(II)/Pd(0) catalysis as well as a method to construct biologically important benzolactone scaffolds. The use of a gas mixture of 5% oxygen in nitrogen demonstrated the possibility for its application in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Dehydrogenative lactonization of diols in aqueous media catalyzed by a water-soluble iridium complex bearing a functional bipyridine ligand

A new catalytic system for the dehydrogenative lactonization of a variety of benzylic and aliphatic diols in aqueous media was developed. By using a water-soluble, dicationic iridium catalyst bearing 6,6′-dihydroxy-2, 2′-bipyridine as a functional ligand, highly atom economical and environmentally benign synthesis of various lactones was achieved in good to excellent yields. Recovery and reuse of the catalyst were also accomplished by a simple phase separation and the recovered catalyst maintained its high activity at least until the fifth run. Copyright
