(Trichloromethyl)carbinols, which are formed in one operation from either alcohols or aldehydes, can be converted into primary alcohols in a Jocic-type reaction involving LiBH4. The net result is a convenient two-step, one-carbon homologation of primary alcohols or a reductive one-carbon homologation of aldehydes featuring a broad substrate scope. The method is step-economical, and it nicely complements established one-carbon homologation strategies.

Versatile trichloromethyl carbinols can be prepared in one pot from primary alcohols by treatment with Dess-Martin periodinane (DMP) in CHCl3 followed by introduction of commercially available 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0] dec-5-ene (TBD). A modification of the method was used to convert chiral primary alcohol (R)-(-)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol to the corresponding trichloromethyl carbinol with complete stereochemical fidelity, despite the reactant proceeding through a base-sensitive aldehyde intermediate.

A practical chemo-enzymatic process for the preparation of optically active (1R,cis)-2-(2,2-dichloro (or dibromo)ethenyl)-3,3-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acids (permethrinic or deltamethrinic acids) from racemic 1,1,1-trichloro-2-acetoxy-4-methyl-3-pentene is described. The key intermediate, enantiopure (R)-1,1,1-trichloro-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-pentene, is prepared by a lipase catalysed kinetic resolution of the racemic acetate. The reaction mixture, containing (R)-alcohol and the unreacted (S)-acetate, is directly acetylated by a haloacetyl halide, and the products are separated by distillation. The (S)-acetate is racemized, and the (R)-haloacetate is transformed to the corresponding glycinate hydrochloride, followed by diazotization to (R)-1,1,1-trichloro-4-methyl-3-penten-2-yl diazoacetate. The stereoselective carbenic dediazotization of the (R)-diazoacetate furnishes the optically active (1R,4R,5S)-6,6-dimethyl-4-trichloromethyl-3-oxobicyclo[3.2.0]hexan-2-one, which is transformed to the desired enantiopure (1R,cis)-permethrinic or deltamethrinic acid in high optical yield (>99% ee) and overall chemical yield of 10-15%.
