The present Full Paper article discloses a survey of our recent results obtained in the context of the enantioselective halogenation-initiated semi-pinacol rearrangement. Commencing with the fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction first and moving to the heavier halogens (bromine and iodine) second, the scope and limitations of the halogenative phase-transfer methodology will be discussed and compared. An extension of the fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction to the ring-expansion of five-membered allylic cyclopentanols will be also described, as well as some preliminary results on substrates prone to desymmetrization will be given. Finally, the present manuscript will culminate with a detailed mechanistic investigation of the canonical fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction. Our mechanistic discussion will be based on in situ reaction progress monitoring, complemented with substituent effect, kinetic isotopic effect and non-linear behaviour studies.

The present manuscript describes a high-yielding enantioselective semipinacol transposition, initiated by an electrophilic iodination event. The title transformation makes use of the anionic phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) paradigm for chirality induction. Thus, when combined appropriately, the insoluble cationic iodinating reagent S9 and the lipophilic phosphoric acid L9 act as an efficient source of chiral iodine that performs the semipinacol transposition of strained allylic alcohols A x to β-iodo spiroketones Bx in good yields and with high levels of diastereo- and enantio-induction. The product β-iodo spiroketones could be derivatized stereospecifically and without stereoerosion, giving rise to products inaccessible directly from a semipinacol rearrangement.
Process for production of 1-alkoxy-1-trimethylsilyloxy cyclopropanes

The present invention provides a process for producing 1-alkoxy-1-trimethylsilyloxycyclopropane represented by the following general formula: STR1 by reacting microgranular metallic sodium dispersed in a hydrocarbon solvent, β-halogenocarboxylic acid ester represented by the following general formula: STR2 and chlorotrimethylsilane. According to the present invention, by using no ether compound solvent (the ether compound solvent has various problems in safety) and using microgranular metallic sodium dispersed in a hydrocarbon solvent, 1-alkoxy-1-trimethylsilyloxycyclopropane can be industrially produced simply (no special apparatus is required) at an advantageous cost at a yield at least equal to that obtained when an ether is used as solvent.
