(Chemical Equation Presented) The nucleophilic substitution of benzylic carbonates with sodium arenesulfinates was catalyzed by the palladium complex generated in situ from [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl] 2 and DPEphos [bis(2-diphenylphosphinophenyl)ether]. The catalytic reaction proceeded in DMSO at 80°C and gave a variety of benzylic sulfones in high yields.

The first total synthesis of (-)-calicoferol B (III) is described. The cyclozirconation product I, prepared in enantiomerically pure form, was converted into the CD ring chiron II. This was coupled with the aromatic A-ring, and then the side chain was constructed with control of relative and absolute configuration to complete the total synthesis of III. The first total synthesis of (-)-calicoferol B (1) is described. The cyclozirconation product 8, prepared in enantiomerically pure form, was converted into the CD ring chiron 6. This was coupled with the aromatic A-ring, and then the side chain was constructed with control of relative and absolute configuration to complete the total synthesis of 1.
