Rh-catalyzed highly chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of β-sulfonyl-α,β-unsaturated ketones was first successfully developed. Remarkably, a variety of enantioenriched γ-ketosulfones were generated in good to high yields with excellent chemo/enantioselectivities (82-99% yields, >99:1 chemoselectivity, 88 to >99% ee). Moreover, the gram-scale asymmetric hydrogenation was carried out smoothly in 97% yield and 97% ee. Preliminary DFT computations furnished a reasonable explanation for the high chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity.

The gas-flow thermolysis of 1-isobutenyl alkynyl or 2-methyphenyl alkynyl ketones were found to lead to phenols and cyclopentenones or to naphthols and indanones, respectively.These conversions involve two cyclization processes so far unknown with α-alkynones; they are interpreted as intramolecular additions of an allylic or a benzylic C,H bond to a triple bond which may occur in two directions.In addition, the cyclopentenones formed by the α-alkynone cyclization, a known carbene process yielding 5-rings, were also found.The available evidence ruled out a carbene process yielding 6-rings.The addition process yielding 5-rings was applied to a short (but low yield) synthesis of methylenomycin B.
