An efficient synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted tetrahydropyrans from aldehyde and cyclopropyl alkenol has been accomplished using HBF4·OEt2 as a promoter through a tandem vinylcyclopropane ring-opening/Prins cyclization. It is a convenient process to generate a structurally diverse and biologically relevant 2,3-disubstituted tetrahydropyrans in good yields with high selectivity.

The greenness and sustainability of three different routes for the synthesis of (3R,3aS,6aR)-hexahydrofuro [2,3-b] furan-3-ol (bis-furan alcohol), an advanced intermediate for a group of HIV protease inhibitors, including the FDA approved darunavir, used in antiretroviral (ARV) therapy, were compared. The method involved a comparison of (i) waste generated using theE-factor and relative to industrial benchmarks using the innovative Green Aspiration Level (iGAL) method, (ii) solvent usage on the basis of solvent intensity (SI) and properties according to the GSK solvent guide, and (iii) Green Motion scores according to the MANE methodology.

Catalyst controlled site-selective C-H functionalization is a challenging but powerful tool in organic synthesis. Polarity-matched and sterically controlled hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) provides an excellent opportunity for site-selective functionalization. As such, the dual Ni/photoredox system was successfully employed to generate acyl radicals from aldehydes via selective formyl C-H activation and subsequently cross-coupled to generate ketones, a ubiquitous structural motif present in the vast majority of natural and bioactive molecules. However, only a handful of examples that are constrained to the use of aryl halides are developed. Given the wide availability of amines, we developed a cross-coupling reaction via C-N bond cleavage using the economic nickel and TBADT catalyst for the first time. A range of alkyl and aryl aldehydes were cross-coupled with benzylic and allylic pyridinium salts to afford ketones with a broad spectrum of functional group tolerance. High regioselectivity toward formyl C-H bonds even in the presence of α-methylene carbonyl or α-amino/oxy methylene was obtained.
Nematicidal activity of benzyloxyalkanols against pine wood nematode

Pine wilt disease (PWD) is caused by the pine wood nematode (PWN; Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) and causes severe environmental damage to global pine forest ecosystems. The current strategies used to control PWN are mainly chemical treatments. However, the continuous use of these reagents could result in the development of pesticide-resistant nematodes. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to find potential alternatives to the currently used PWN control agents abamectin and emamectin. Benzyloxyalkanols (BzOROH; R = C2–C9 ) were synthesized and the nematicidal activity of the synthetic compounds was investigated. Enzymatic inhibitory assays (acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione S-transferase (GST)) were performed with BzOC8OH and BzOC9OH to understand their mode of action. The benzyloxyalkanols showed higher nematicidal activity than did benzyl alcohol. Among the tested BzOROHs, BzC8OH and BzC9OH showed the strongest nematicidal activity. The LD50 values of BzC8OH and BzC9OH were 246.1 and 158.0 ppm, respectively. No enzyme inhibitory activity was observed for BzC8OH and BzC9OH. The results suggested that benzyloxyalcohols could be an alternative nematicidal agent.
