supporting information; experimental part, p. 1608 - 1611 (2012/05/07)
The Kobayashi aldol reaction has become a prominent transformation in polyketide syntheses. This methodology takes advantage of the directing effects of the Evans auxiliary and allows the stereoselective incorporation of a four carbon segment with two additional methyl branches establishing an anti-relationship between the two newly formed chiral centers. So far this transformation was restricted to anti-aldol products. We present here a modified protocol that provides the corresponding aldol product with high syn-selectivity.

The reactivities of some β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids and their methyl esters toward alkylation with methyl iodide using the lithium diisopropylamide-hexamethylphosphortriamide (LDA-HMPT) systems in THF have been investigated.The methylation selectivity of pent-3-enoic acid (2) and (1,2-dihydro-3-naphtyl)acetic acid (6) on using 1.0 equiv. of methyl iodide is high, the α-mono- to α,α-dimethylation ratios at -78 deg C being >20.The selectivity is substantially lower for styrylacetic acid (4) and increases with increasing temperature from 2.3 at -78 deg C to 8.5 at -10 deg C.The occurrence of dimethylation is ascribed to intermolecular proton exchange between the monomethylated species IIa and the nonmethylated species Ia.For the β,γ-unsaturated esters the methylation selectivity is somewhat higher than that for the corresponding carboxylic acids.
DIENCARBONSAEUREN AUS 1,3-DIENEN UND CO2 DURCH C-C-VERKNUEPFUNG AN NICKEL(0)

(Lig)Ni0 systems react with 1,3-dienes in the presence of CO2 to give nickela carboxylates.The influence of ligands and temperature on the regioselectivity of the C-C bond formation is elucidated.In some cases the nickela carboxylates undergo reductive elimination under the influence of maleic anhydride, and the coupled diene/CO2 moiety rearranges to give the diene carboxylic acid.A possible reaction sequence is discussed.
