Kim, Sunggak,Cho, Chang Mook
, p. 8405 - 8408 (1994)
Thermal reaction of α,β-epoxy-N-aziridinyl imines in refluxing toluene would initially generate the reactive alkylidene carbenes which underwent intramolecular carbon-hydrogen insertion reactions to afford cyclopentenols.

Trimethylsilyl acetylenes can be selectively deprotected in the presence of a catalytic amount of silver salts. AgNO3 and AgOTf proved to be the most effective catalyst in a mixture of methanol, water and dichloromethane. Other functional groups, and especially silyl ethers, are not affected in these conditions.

In contrast to the widely explored methods for the asymmetric synthesis of molecules bearing a single stereocenter or adjacent stereocenters, the concurrent construction of 1,3-stereogenic centers in an enantio- and diastereoselective manner remains a challenge, especially in acyclic systems. Herein, we report an enantio- and diastereodivergent construction of 1,3-nonadjacent stereocenters bearing allenyl axial and central chirality through synergistic Pd/Cu-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric allenylation with racemic allenylic esters. The protocol is suitable for a wide range of substrates including the challenging allenylic esters with less sterically bulky substituents and provided chiral allenylic products bearing 1,3-nonadjacent stereocenters with high levels of enantio- and diastereoselectivities (up to >20:1 dr and >99% ee). Furthermore, several representative transformations involving axial-to-central chirality transfer were conducted, affording useful structural motifs containing nonadjacent stereocenters in a diastereodivergent manner.
Mono-Gold(I)-Catalyzed Enantioselective Intermolecular Reaction of Ynones with Styrenes: Tandem Diels–Alder and Ene Sequence

Gold-catalyzed intermolecular reaction leading to dihydronaphthalene derivatives in one pot from two equivalents of ynones with respect to styrene is uncovered. The [4+2] Diels–Alder cycloaddition of ynones and styrenes is catalyzed by a mono-gold(I) complex and the conjugated acid to provide an unstable 3,8a-dihydronaphthalene to subsequently undergo an intermolecular ene-type reaction with the π-activated ynone to afford multi-component coupling dihydronaphthalene products. Linear relationships between chiral ligand-gold complexes and chiral dihydronaphthalene products proves mono-gold catalysis that triggers an asymmetric tandem Diels–Alder and ene reaction sequence.
Laccase-mediated Oxidations of Propargylic Alcohols. Application in the Deracemization of 1-arylprop-2-yn-1-ols in Combination with Alcohol Dehydrogenases

The catalytic system composed by the laccase from Trametes versicolor and the oxy-radical TEMPO has been successfully applied in the sustainable oxidation of fourteen propargylic alcohols. The corresponding propargylic ketones were obtained in most cases in quantitative conversions (87–>99 % yield), demonstrating the efficiency of the chemoenzymatic methodology in comparison with traditional chemical oxidants, which usually lead to problems associated with the formation of by-products. Also, the stereoselective reduction of propargylic ketones was studied using alcohol dehydrogenases such as the one from Ralstonia species overexpressed in E. coli or the commercially available evo-1.1.200, allowing the access to both alcohol enantiomers mostly with complete conversions and variable selectivities depending on the aromatic pattern substitution (97–>99 % ee). To demonstrate the compatibility of the laccase-mediated oxidation and the alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed bioreduction, a deracemization strategy starting from the racemic compounds was developed through a sequential one-pot two-step process, obtaining a selection of (S)- or (R)-1-arylprop-2-yn-1-ols with excellent yields (>98 %) and selectivities (>98 % ee) depending on the alcohol dehydrogenase employed.
