Asymmetric hydrogenation is one of the most commonly used tools in organic synthesis, whereas, kinetic resolutionviaasymmetric hydrogenation is less developed. Herein, we describe the first iridium catalyzed kinetic resolution of a wide range of trisubstituted secondary and tertiary allylic alcohols. Large selectivity factors were observed in most cases (sup to 211), providing the unreacted starting materials in good yield with high levels of enantiopurity (ee up to >99%). The utility of this method is highlighted in the enantioselective formal synthesis of some bioactive natural products including pumiliotoxin A, inthomycin A and B. DFT studies and a selectivity model concerning the origin of selectivity are presented.

(Chemical Equation Presented) The work describes the enzyme-mediated preparation and the odor evaluation of the single stereoisomers of the commercial odorants Muguesia and Pamplefleur. The synthetic approach to Muguesia stereoisomers helped to clear the assignment of the relative configuration of intermediate diols 5. The odor response of Pamplefleur isomers was found to be rather unusual. No stereoisomer prevailed, but each one played a definite role in establishing the odor sensation of the final blend.
