Graphene-catalyzed transacetalization under acid-free conditions

1,2- and 1,3-Diols are readily protected as cyclic acetals and ketals through a graphene-catalyzed transacetalization process. The methodology features an atom economic procedure since quasi-stoichiometric conditions have been developed. Unlike prior systems, the graphene-catalyzed transacetalization is performed under Br?nsted and Lewis acid-free conditions and without solvent. Our method has been applied to several volatile compounds that are unsuitable for complex work-up and extensive purification steps. The very unusual catalytic properties of graphene for transacetalization reactions are ascribed to molecular charge transfer between graphene and substrates.

Enantioselective route to aryl(1,3-butadien-2-yl)methanols: Formal synthesis of (-)-sporochnol a

Ti(IV)-promoted reaction of the chiral acetals derived from aromatic aldehydes with 1-(tri-n-butyl)stannyl-2,3-butadiene followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary gave aryl(1,3-butadien-2-yl)methanols with high enantiomeric purity (>90% ee). The synthet
