Our recently reported novel green chemistry tool was effectively used for opening cyclic ethers to produce α-iodo- and bromoalkanols. The synthesis of 4-iodobutanoic acid from γ-butyrolactone has also been described. The method is based on the use of a dried Dowex H+/NaX (X = Br, I)-system, which is effective at producing α-iodoalkanols and some α-bromoalkanols from commercially available cyclic ethers. Additionally, opening of three different crown ethers to form α-iodo(polyethylene)glycols with various chain lengths is demonstrated. Haloalkanols are important building blocks in synthetic chemistry e.g. for medicinal chemistry purposes.

The Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) of phenol allyl carbonates serves as an efficient strategy to construct the allylic C-O bond allowing access to chiral chromans in up to 98% ee. The effect of pH and the influence of olefin geometry, as well as substitution pattern on the ee and the absolute configuration of the chiral chromans were explored in detail. These observations suggest a mechanism involving the cyclization of the more reactive π-allyl palladium diastereomeric intermediate as the enantiodiscriminating step (Curtin-Hammett conditions). This methodology led to the enantioselective synthesis of the vitamin E core, the first enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-clusifoliol and (-)-siccanin, and the synthesis of an advanced intermediate toward (+)-rhododaurichromanic acid A.

Dibenzyloxydihydrobenzoxathiin 1, which resisted debenzylation with SiCl4/LiI, was effectively debenzylated with SiCl4/LiI in the presence of a catalytic amount of BF3. The HCl salt of the bis-debenzylated product 2 was isolated in 90% yield and 99% purity. This enhanced dealkylation activity has also been observed with other substrates.
