The diastereoselectivity of adducts in the addition reaction via the Felkin-Anh model is affected significantly by the steric effect of bulky groups. However, the influence of steric alkyl chain length has not been studied for the diastereoselectivity. In this work, we present a new strategy for the racemic synthesis of β-methyl alcohols to obtain various diastereomer ratios using the Felkin-Anh model. The addition of alkyl Grignard reagents to α-methyl aldehydes afforded diastereomer ratios of threo/erythro ≈ 2:1, while the reduction in structurally related ketones using LiAlH4 afforded ratios of threo/erythro ≈ 1:1. The experimental data showed no effect of alkyl chain length on either side on the stereoselectivity of adducts. All synthesized analogues were evaluated for attractiveness to Rhynchophorus ferrugineus weevils in the field. Five novel derivatives, including two alcohols and three ketones, were found to attract weevils in the field trials. Among them, 3-methyldecan-4-one (5b) and 4-methyldecan-5-ol (11a) were found to be the most attractive to the insects.

Phenyl substituted α- (PhC(=O)C(=O)R) and β-diketones (PhC(=O)CHRC(=O)R′) are reduced by carbon monoxide and water in the presence of elemental selenium to give the corresponding aromatic ketones in moderate to good yields.

A complete set of characterization data for the allylic hydroperoxides prepared from 1-methylcyclohexene and the isomeric 4-methyloct-4-enes is presented.The data relies upon the preparation of allylic hydroperoxides by tert-butyl hydroperoxide-loaded autoxidations, singlet-ene oxidations and nucleophilic substitution reactions.Appropriate allylic alcohols and relevant scission products have been prepared to support the assignments given.

A general method is described, which allows the overall enantioselective α-alkylation of acyclic ketones in good overall yields (44-86percent, 4 steps) and enantioselectivities ranging routinely from >94percent ee up to virtually complete asymmetric induction (99.5percent ee).The acyclic ketones are transformed to their corresponding "SAMP-hydrazones" (S)-2 by reaction with the enantiomerically pure hydrazine (S)-1-amino-2-methoxymethyl-pyrrolidine , readily available from (S)-proline.Metalation to form chiral azaenolates (S)-3 of ECCZCN-configuration and then alkylation to product hydrazones 4, followed by hydrazone cleavage via acidic hydrolysis of methiodides 9 in a two phase system or ozonolysis, leads to α-substituted, enantiomerically enriched, acyclic ketones 5.In special cases, where a phenyl group is directly attached to the newly generated center of chirality (5n,o,p), only low enantiomeric excesses are observed. 17 Examples, including first applications in natural product synthesis (cf 5a,b,e, and h) are summarized.
