A three step synthesis of the title compound 1a from D-ribono-1,4-lactone in 48percent yield is described.The concept centers on a novel NaHSO3-induced trans-Br-OAc elimination of the readily prepared bromo-acetate mixture 3a,b to the corresponding butenolides 1e and 1f, the former of which, on hydrolysis and purification, yields pure 1a.

Metal-containing zeolites, especially Sn-Beta, perform as very efficient heterogeneous catalysts in the selective oxidation of levoglucosenone, which is considered as a platform chemical for the production of highly-valuable chemicals, towards the synthesis of the optically pure γ-lactone (S)-γ-hydroxymethyl-α,β-butenolide (HBO) using H 2O2 as an oxidizing agent. Using Sn-Beta as a catalyst, yields up to 75% of (S)-γ-hydroxymethyl-α,β-butenolide are achieved in a one-pot cascade reaction. When Sn-Beta is combined with an acid resin, such as Amberlyst-15, the two-step process allows yields up to 90%.

A stereoselective construction of the methylcyclopentane core (3) of jatrophane diterpenoids peditithins B-H was achieved in 14 steps from commercially available d-(+)-ribono-1,4-lactone (9). The linear 5-ene-heptanal derived from 9 was cyclized to the five-membered ring by an intramolecular carbonyl ene reaction, and five continuous stereocenters on 3 were stereoselectively introduced via a successive substrate-controlled manner, involving diastereoselective 1,4-addition, MoOPH-induced hydroxylation, and stereospecific epoxidation.

A diastereoselective chemoenzymatic synthetic pathway to D-(+)-ribono-1,4-lactone, a versatile chiral sugar derivative widely used for the synthesis of various natural products, has been designed from cellulose-based levoglucosenone (LGO). This route involves a sustainable Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of LGO to produce enantiopure (S)-γ-hydroxymethyl-α,β-butenolide (HBO) that is further functionalized with various protecting groups to provide 5-O-protected γ-hydroxymethyl-α,β-butenolides. The latter then undergo a diastereoselective and high-yielding syn-dihydroxylation of the α,β-unsaturated lactone moiety followed by a deprotection step to give D-(+)-ribono-1,4-lactone. Through this 4-step synthetic route from LGO, D-(+)-ribono-1,4-lactone is obtained with d.r. varying from 82:18 to 97:3 and in overall yields between 32 and 41 % depending on the protecting group used. Moreover, valuable synthetic intermediates 5-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-, 5-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl- as well as 5-O-benzyl-ribono-1,4-lactones are obtained in 3 steps from LGO in 58, 61 and 40 %, respectively.
Guiding a divergent reaction by photochemical control: Bichromatic selective access to levulinates and butenolides

Allylic and acrylic substrates may be efficiently transformed by a sequential bichromatic photochemical process into derivatives of levulinates or butenolides with high selectivity when phenanthrene is used as a regulator. Thus, UV-A photoinduced cross-metathesis (CM) couples the acrylic and allylic counterparts and subsequent UV-C irradiation initiates E-Z isomerization of the carbon-carbon double bond, followed by one of two competing processes; namely, cyclization by transesterification or a 1,5-H shift and tautomerization. Quantum chemical calculations demonstrate that intermediates are strongly blue-shifted for the cyclization while red-shifted for the 1,5-H shift reaction. Hence, delaying the double bond migration by employing UV-C absorbing phenanthrene, results in a selective novel divergent all-photochemical pathway for the synthesis of fundamental structural motifs of ubiquitous natural products.
