Synthesis of Functionalized Dihydrobenzofurans by Direct Aryl C?O Bond Formation under Mild Conditions

A method for the synthesis of dihydrobenzofurans by a direct aryl C?O bond formation is described. A mechanistic pathway for the reaction, distinct from previously described similar transformations, allows for mild reaction conditions that are expected to be compatible with functionalized substrates.

Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of racemic α-alkyl benzyl ketones: enzymatic synthesis of α-alkyl benzylketones and α-alkyl benzylesters

The application of three BVMOs for the enantioselective oxidation of 3-phenylbutan-2-ones with different substituents in the aromatic moiety is described. By choosing the appropriate biocatalyst and substrate combination, chiral ketones and esters can be obtained with excellent enantiopurities. This methodology could also be applied to the resolution of racemic α-alkyl benzylketones with longer alkyl chains as well as with two substituted α-substituted benzylacetones. A kinetic analysis revealed that the BVMOs studied effectively convert all tested compounds showing that the enzymes are tolerant towards the substrate structure while being highly enantioselective. These properties render BVMOs as valuable biocatalysts for the preparation of compounds with high interest in organic synthesis.

Use of conjugated dienones in cyclialkylations: Total syntheses of arucadiol, 1,2-didehydromiltirone, (±)-hinokione, (±)-nimbidiol, sageone, and miltirone

Functionalized hydrophenanthrenes can be prepared using a cyclialkylation-based strategy. These annulations are highly dependent on the directing effects of the arene substitutents and on conformational considerations. The utility of this methodology was featured in the syntheses of six diterpenoids.
