Two copper salts (Cu(CF3CO2)2 and IMesCuCl) were identified as earth-abundant, inexpensive, but effective metal catalysts together with diazo malonate for chemo-/regioselective and stereospecific deoxygenation of various epoxides with tolerance of common functional groups (alkene, ketone, ester, p-methoxybenzyl, benzyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, and triisopropylsilyl). In particular, the unprecedented regioselectivity allowed for the first time monodeoxygenation of diepoxides to alkenyl epoxides. Density functional theory mechanistic studies showed that the deoxygenation occurred by collapsing the free ylide, unfavoring the possible intuitive pathway via cycloreversion of possible oxetane.
Syntheses with organoboranes - VIII. Transformation of (1S,6R)-(+)-2- carene into (1S,6R)-(+)-3(10)-carene and (1R,5R)-(-)-α-thujene into (1R,5R)- (+)-sabinene

The transformation of (1S,6R)-(+)-2-carene and (1R,5R)-(-)-α-thujene into (1S,6R)-(+)-3(10)-carene and (1R,5R)-(+)-sabinene, respectively, by metallation-transmetallation-hydrolysis via the corresponding allylic organoborane intermediates is described.
Stereospecific Conversions of (+)-2- and (+)-3-Carenes into Optically active Seven-Membered Ring Systems
Eilbracht, Peter,Winkels, Irmgard
, p. 191 - 198 (2007/10/02)
The reactions of (+)-2-carene (6b) and (+)-3-carene (15) with iron carbonyls are studied under various conditions.Besides double bond isomerization and interconversion of the two isomeric hydrocarbons, at least two different modes of ring opening leading to six- and seven-membered ring products are observed.Under mild conditions the primary ring opening complex 7b is isolated without loss of sterical information.Carbonylation of 7b under various conditions yields optically active cycloheptene systems 18, 19, and 20 or the bicyclic systems 9b and 10b.
