α-Oxygenated Z-olefins are ubiquitous in biologically active molecules and serve as versatile handles for organic synthesis, but their syntheses are often tedious and less selective. Here we report the efficient Z-selective metathesis of various terminal

A general and practical method for copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of allyl phosphates with stable perfluoroalkylzinc reagents has been developed. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with high efficiency, good functional group tolerance, and high regio- A nd stereoselectivities and provides general, straightforward, and useful access to allyl-perfluoroalkyl compounds. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that the allyl copper intermediate may be involved in the catalytic cycle.

The in situ preparation of highly stereoretentive ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts is reported. This approach completely avoids the isolation of intermediates and air-sensitive catalysts, thus allowing for the rapid access and evaluation of numerous dithiolate Ru catalysts. A procedure was established to perform cross-metathesis reactions without the use of a glovebox, and on a small scale even Schlenk techniques are not required. Consequently, the chemistry displayed in this report is available to every practicing organic chemist and presents a powerful approach for the identification of new stereoretentive catalysts.

Olefin metathesis catalysts provide access to molecules that are indispensable to physicians and researchers in the life sciences. A persisting problem, however, is the dearth of chemical transformations that directly generate acyclic Z allylic alcohols, including products that contain a hindered neighbouring substituent or reactive functional units such as a phenol, an aldehyde, or a carboxylic acid. Here we present an electronically modified ruthenium-disulfide catalyst that is effective in generating such high-value compounds by cross-metathesis. The ruthenium complex is prepared from a commercially available precursor and an easily generated air-stable zinc catechothiolate. Transformations typically proceed with 5.0 mole per cent of the complex and an inexpensive reaction partner in 4-8 hours under ambient conditions; products are obtained in up to 80 per cent yield and 98:2 Z:E diastereoselectivity. The use of this catalyst is demonstrated in the synthesis of the naturally occurring anti-tumour agent neopeltolide and in a single-step stereoselective gram-scale conversion of a renewable feedstock (oleic acid) to an anti-fungal agent. In this conversion, the new catalyst promotes cross-metathesis more efficiently than the commonly used dichloro-ruthenium complexes, indicating that its utility may extend beyond Z-selective processes.

Enantiomer and conformer recognition of (+) and (-)-disparlure and their analogs by the pheromone binding proteins of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar

Adult female gypsy moths produce a sex pheromone (+)-(7R,8S)-2-methyl-7,8- epoxyoctadecane, (+)-disparlure, to attract male gypsy moths. To better understand the recognition of (+)-disparlure by the male's olfactory system, we synthesized racemic and enantiopure oxa and thia analogs of (+)-disparlure (ee > 98%). Ab initio calculations of the conformeric landscapes around the dihedral angles C5-6-7-8 and C7-8-9-10 of (+)-disparlure and corresponding dihedral angles of analogs revealed that introduction of the heteroatom changes the conformeric landscape around these important epitopes. The energy difference between HOMO and LUMO decreased after oxygen or sulfur was introduced into the backbone. Consistent with this, an enhancement of binding affinity between sulfur analogs and the pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) was observed in vitro. Docking of the pheromone and analogs onto models of the two known PBPs of the gypsy moth revealed that the internal binding pocket of PBP1 showed higher selectivity than that of PBP2, consistent with in vitro binding assays. Further energy analysis revealed that enantiomers adopted different conformations with different energies when docked in the internal binding pocket of PBPs, resulting in enantiomer discrimination of PBPs towards disparlure and its analogs.

experimental part, p. 23 - 28 (2012/03/10)
Starting from propargyl alcohol (12), and on the basis of Zhou's modified Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, the sex pheromone of the Gypsy moth, disparlure (+)-8 and its enantiomer (-)-8 have been synthesized, each in six steps, with overall yields of 29% for (+)-8 and 27% for (-)-8 (ee>98%). The use of the sequential coupling tactic renders the method flexible, which is applicable to the synthesis of other cis-epoxy pheromones. Copyright
Enantioselective synthesis of four isomers of 3-hydroxy-4- methyltetradecanoic acid, the constituent of antifungal cyclodepsipeptides W493 A and B

Four possible stereoisomers of 3-hydroxy-4-methyltetradecanoic acid were enantioselectively synthesized by using Sharpless epoxidation and a subsequent epoxide-ring opening reaction with trimethylaluminum as the key steps. The absolute configuration of the β-oxyacid component of antifungal cyclodepsipeptides W493 A and B was consequently determined as 3S,4R.
Synthesis of disparlure analogues, using resolution on microcrystalline cellulose triacetate-I

The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, uses a chiral epoxide, (+)-(7R,8S)-2-methyl-7,8-epoxyoctadecane, (+)-disparlure, as its main sex attractant. The moths can detect both enantiomers of disparlure and respond differently to each one. In an effort to understand the structure-activity relationships of the gypsy moth olfactory system, we prepared the analogues of (+)- and (-)-disparlure. The key intermediate in route to the analogues was 2-epoxytridecan-1-ol. Herein we report the resolution of 2-epoxytridecan-1-yl esters on microcrystalline cellulose triacetate and the synthesis of 5-oxa and (5Z)-ene analogues of (+)- and (-)-disparlure. An effort to make 5-aza analogues resulted in the formation of anti-5-(1-hydroxy-1-undecyl)-3-(3-methylbutyl) oxazolidin-2-one. The analogues were tested for their electroantennogram responses and for their ability to bind to pheromone-binding protein 1 (PBP1). We found that the 5-oxa analogues gave strong responses and that the antenna and the PBP1 no longer distinguish the enantiomers of the 5-oxa analogues. The analogues all bound the PBP1 with similar affinity to (-)-disparlure.
