The catalytic hydrocarboxylation of styrenes derivatives and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with CO2(101.3 kPa) in the presence of an air-stable rhodium catalyst was explored. The combination of [RhCl(cod)]2(cod = cyclooctadiene) as a catalyst and diethylzinc as a hydride source allowed for effective hydrocarboxylation and provided the corresponding α-aryl carboxylic acids in moderate to excellent yields. In this catalytic process with carbon dioxide, intervention of the RhI–H species, which could be generated from the RhIcatalyst and diethylzinc, was clarified. Significantly, the catalytic asymmetric hydrocarboxylation of α,β-unsaturated esters with carbon dioxide was also performed by employing a cationic rhodium complex possessing (S)-(–)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole-5,5′-diylbis(diphenylphosphine) [(S)-SEGPHOS] as a chiral diphosphine ligand. A plausible model for asymmetric induction was proposed by determination of the absolute configuration of the product.

Zearalenone and radicicol are highly related resorcylic acid lactones with the rare property of having opposite stereochemical configurations of the secondary alcohol involved in lactone formation. The ability of the thioesterases from the zearalenone and radicicol biosynthetic pathways to macrocyclize both d and l configured synthetic substrate analogs was biochemically characterized and showed that both enzymes were highly stereotolerant, macrocyclizing both substrates with similar kinetic parameters. This observed stereotolerance is consistent with a proposed evolution of both natural products from a common ancestral resorcylic acid lactone.
Synthesis of macrolide-saccharide hybrids by ring-closing metathesis of precursors derived from glycitols and benzoic acids

The benzomacrolactone structural motif is a privileged or evolutionarily selected scaffold that codes properties required for binding to proteins and novel analogues thereof may provide a source of new bioactive compounds. Saccharides are also privileged structures, with (amino)sugars, imino-sugars, and sugar amino acids being applied as scaffolds for the development of nonpeptidal peptidomimetics. The syntheses of novel polyhydroxylated oxamacrolides, structural analogues of natural polyketide derived macrolides, are described herein, providing a basis for their development as scaffolds. The syntheses were carried out from benzoic acids and appropriately protected D-mannitol or D-sorbitol (D-glucitol). Ring-closing metathesis was applied in the macrocyclization step with high E-alkene selectivities being observed. X-ray crystal structures, for two polyhydroxylated derivatives, show that the macrocyclic rings display similar conformations. In addition, intermolecular hydrogen-bonding networks are observed in the lattices.
