A practical, general and mild oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds proceeds in yields of up to 99% using SO2F2 as electrophile in DMSO as both the oxidant and the solvent at ambient temperature. No moisture- and oxygen-free conditions are required. Stoichiometric amount of inexpensive K2CO3, which generates easy to separate by-products, is used as the base. Thus, 5-gram scale runs proceeded in nearly quantitative yields by a simple filtration as the work-up. The use of a polar solvent such as DMSO, which usually promotes competing Pummerer rearrangement, is also noteworthy. This protocol is compatible with a variety of common N-, O-, and S-functional groups on (hetero)arene, alkene and alkyne substrates (68 examples). The protocol was applied (99% yield) to a formal synthesis of the important cholesterol-lowering drug Rosuvastatin. (Figure presented.).
Synthesis of (4: E,6 Z,10 Z)-hexadeca-4,6,10-trien-1-ol and (4 E,6 E,10 Z)-hexadeca-4,6,10-trien-1-ol, the pheromone components of cocoa pod borer moth Conopomorpha cramerella

A concise and efficient synthesis of the pheromone components of the cocoa pod borer moth, namely (4E,6Z,10Z)-hexadeca-4,6,10-trien-1-ol and (4E,6E,10Z)-hexadeca-4,6,10-trien-1-ol, starting from commercially available materials, was reported. The overall yield was 30.4% and 27.4%, respectively. The stereoselective formation of (E,Z)- or (E,E)-conjugated double bond relied on Sonogashira coupling with (E)-5-bromopent-4-en-1-ol prepared from (E)-5-bromopent-4-enal and the stereoselective hydrogenation of the enyne, while the 10Z-double bond was formed by Wittig reaction from 4-hydroxybutanal and n-hexyltriphenylphosphonium bromide.
Unprecedented cobalt-catalyzed isomerization reactions to single skipped 2,4,7-trienes applied in the synthesis of urushiol

The cobalt-catalyzed isomerization of 1,3-dienes to 2Z,4E-dienes was realized for the very challenging substrates with an additional double bond in the side chain. An isomerization to the conjugated 3,5,7-triene derivative was not observed, which is in stark contrast to observations with many other isomerization catalysts. Accordingly, the synthesis of the natural product urushiol, which has a sensitive 2Z,4E,7Z-triene subunit in the side chain, was investigated. The O-protected urushiol derivative was generated selectively without isomerization to the conjugated 3,5,7-triene or Z/E-isomerization of the double bond at position 7.
