(Chemical Equation Presented) Heating allylic and homoallylic alcohols and 2-pyridylmethyl formate in the presence of Ru3(CO)12 initiates a tandem sequence of hydroesterification and lactonization. Mechanistic studies suggest that regioselectivity and overall reaction efficiency are governed by the relative rates of reductive elimination and β-hydride elimination for the alkylruthenium intermediates.
An iterative approach to three fragments of ionomycin

, p. 177 - 184 (2007/10/03)
The SN2′ displacement of menthone-derived allylic carbonates with cuprate reagents occurs with high diastereoselectivity. This method can be used in an iterative fashion to construct stereocenters bearing a 1,3-relationship in a carbon chain. E
Chiral α-substituted carbonyls and alcohols from the S(N)2' displacement of cuprates on chiral carbonates: An alternative to the alkylation of chiral enolates
Spino,Beaulieu,Lafreniere
, p. 7091 - 7097 (2007/10/03)
A highly stereoselective sequence of reactions, based on the anti-selective S(N)2' addition of cuprates to allylic carbonates, transforms alkynes or alkenyl halides into carbonyls having α-chiral centers. The method, which uses menthone as a chiral auxiliary, is a useful alternative to the alkylation of chiral enolates with the added advantage of allowing for the 'alkylation' of sec- and tert-alkyl and aryl groups.
A Nonresolutive Approach to the Preparation of Configurationally Pure Difunctional Molecules
