An efficient enantioselective acylative desymmetrization of cyclic meso-1,3-diols was developed by using a chiral DMAP derivative 1e having a 1,1¤-binaphthyl unit. The reactions required only 0.5mol% of the catalyst and showed good to excellent enantioselectivity. With this transformation, 5a, a key building block for the synthesis of natural products, was easily obtained in almost enantiomerically pure form after a single recrystallization. Control experiments revealed that tert-alcohol units on the catalyst were responsible for both the catalytic activity and enantioselectivity.

The hydrogenative conversions of the biobased platform molecules 4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone and cyclopentane-1,3-dione to their corresponding 1,3-diols are established using a pre-activated Kn?lker-type iron catalyst. The catalyst exhibits a high selectivity for ketone reduction, and does not induce dehydration. Moreover, by using different substituents of the ligand, thecis-transratio of the products can be affected substantially. A decent compatibility of this catalytic system with various structurally related substrates is demonstrated.
