In contrast to methyl and isobutyl phenyl sulfone, condensing under basic conditions higher alkyl sulfones and trans-2,3-epoxy-butanol 13c (or its O-benzyl and O-silyl derivatives) proved unfeasible, a difficulty that was overcome by using mono ethers of trans-2,3-epoxy-butane-1,4-diol 35c as the electrophilic reagents. Thus, adding excess BuLi to a mixture of the benzyl ether 35b and sulfone ent-12a, a stereodiad sulfone prepared in pure state from the R-Roche ester, via the O-trityloxy-sulfone ent-12c (X-ray), gave, after elimination by column chromatography of the side-formed regioisomer, a diolsulfone that was next converted to sulfone 20 by means of conventional functional-group modifications. Reacting like-wise this sulfone with the parent O-PMB derivative 35a, and then proceeding to the same purification process and function adjustment, delivered the title fragment in virtually pure state.
Enantioselective total synthesis of borrelidin

The first total synthesis of the natural product borrelidin is described. The propionate fragment of the molecule was concisely synthesized through catalytic enantioselective reductive aldol reactions, a catalytic Negishi coupling, and a catalytic directed hydrogenation. The propionate segment was then fused to the vinyl iodide fragment through a catalytic Sonogashira coupling. Subsequent catalytic hydrostannylation and catalytic cyanation allowed access to the target structure. Copyright
