Site-selective oxidation of vicinal bis(boronates) is accomplished through the use of trimethylamine N-oxide in 1-butanol solvent. The reaction occurs with good efficiency and selectivity across a range of substrates, providing 2-hydro-1-boronic esters which are shown to be versatile intermediates in the synthesis of chiral building blocks.

Dibenzyl butyrolactone lignans are well known for their excellent biological properties, particularly for their notable anti-proliferative activities. Herein we report a novel, efficient, convergent synthesis of dibenzyl butyrolactone lignans utilizing the acyl-Claisen rearrangement to stereoselectively prepare a key intermediate. The reported synthetic route enables the modification of these lignans to give rise to 5-hydroxymethyl derivatives of these lignans. The biological activities of these analogues were assessed, with derivatives showing an excellent cytotoxic profile which resulted in programmed cell death of Jurkat T-leukemia cells with less than 2% of the incubated cells entering a necrotic cell death pathway.
LITHIATION OF THE BENZENE RING IN THE PRESENCE OF ortho-ALKYL SUBSTITUENTS BEARING ONE OR TWO HETEROATOMS ON THE β-CARBON. A CONVENIENT SYNTHESIS OF MELLEIN AND KIGELIN

The title reaction can be successfully accomplished by proton-metal exchange with n-butyllithium, and the usually observed elimination to a styrene derivative suppressed, provided an appropriate combination of heteroatoms bound to the β-carbon of the alky
