Synthesis of Enantioenriched 3,4-Disubstituted Chromans through Lewis Base Catalyzed Carbosulfenylation

, p. 14290 - 14310 (2021/11/12)
A method for the catalytic, enantioselective, carbosulfenylation of alkenes to construct 3,4-disubstituted chromans is described. Alkene activation proceeds through the intermediacy of enantioenriched, configurationally stable thiiranium ions generated from catalytic, Lewis base activation of an electrophilic sulfenylating agent. The transformation affords difficult-to-generate, enantioenriched, 3,4-disubstituted chromans in moderate to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. A variety of substituents are compatible including electronically diverse functional groups as well as several functional handles such as aryl halides, esters, anilines, and phenols. The resulting thioether moiety is amenable to a number of functional group manipulations and transformations. Notably, the pendant sulfide was successfully cleaved to furnish a free thiol which readily provides access to most sulfur-containing functional groups which are present in natural products and pharmaceuticals.
A novel and efficient procedure for the preparation of allylic alcohols from α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters using LiAlH4/BnCl

experimental part, p. 413 - 415 (2009/05/11)
A new and efficient method for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters to allylic alcohols utilizing LiAlH4/BnCl is described. Various α,β-unsaturated esters, including the coumarins bearing α,β-unsaturated lactone skeleton, can be converted smoothly into their corresponding allylic alcohols in high yields under mild conditions with short reaction times.
Chemoenzymatic total synthesis of the phytotoxic lactone herbarumin III
Nanda, Samik
, p. 3661 - 3663 (2007/10/03)
Asymmetric total synthesis of phytotoxic nonenolide herbarumin III was accomplished by a chemoenzymatic approach. The main highlight of the synthesis was to fix the hydroxyl stereocenters (C7 and C9) by lipase catalyzed irreversible transesterification.
