An efficient and regioselective electrophilic bromolactonization of cyclopropylmethyl diesters using triphenylphosphine sulfide (Ph3PS) or diphenyl selenide (Ph2Se) as the Lewis basic chalcogenide catalyst has been developed. It was observed that Ph3PS favored the formation of anti-diastereomer and yielded the multi-functional γ-lactones. Interestingly, the diastereoselectivity was reversed when using Ph2Se as a catalyst where the syn-product instead of the anti-product was favored. (Figure presented.).

The deaminative hydrogenation of nitriles towards alcohols is a useful reaction to transform nitriles into alcohols with NH3 as the sole byproduct. Using the simple and robust RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 complex as a catalyst, at low H2 pressures a series of aliphatic and aromatic nitriles could be transformed into the corresponding alcohols. Suitable solvent systems for these reactions were 1,4-dioxane/water and EtOH/water mixtures. In most cases, the selectivity for the alcohols was excellent, and the corresponding amines were formed only in trace amounts.
