Hydrocyanation of a range of protected β-hydroxyalkynes give unsaturated nitriles which can be cyclised to α-alkylideneγ-lactones and in most cases the regioselectivity of hydrocyanation can be controlled giving the desired cyanoalkenes with stereospecific formation of the E-isomer.

A direct synthetic approach to the spiro-γ-lactone clerodane ring system has been investigated. This work builds on that of Jung and highlights the inherent difficulties associated with the otherwise obvious Diels–Alderapproach.
Asymmetric hydrogenation of unsaturated carbonyl compounds catalyzed by BINAP-Ru(II) complexes. Enantioselective synthesis of γ-butyrolactones and cyclopentanones
Asymmetrichydrogenation of 2- and 4-alkylidene-γ-butyrolactones and 2-alkylidenecyclopentanones catalyzed by BINAP—Ru(II) complexes affords the corresponding γ-butyrolactones and cyclopentanones in 94–98% ee. Hydrogenation of (E)- and (Z)-2-propylidene-γ-butyrolactone catalyzed by the same catalyst gave the products with the same absolute configuration and in almost equal enantioselectivities, which
A concerted method for the stereospecific addition of thiophenol to α, β-unsaturated esters 1 and 3 has been developed. This provides a convenient route for the stereo-selective preparation of less available Z__--α, β-unsaturated esters and lactones 3.
4-Vinyl-1,3-dioxan-2-ones (cyclic carbonates) undergo decarboxylation-carbonylation by the catalysis of Pd(0) species under CO (in most cases, 1 atm) to provide 2-vinyl-γ-butyrolactones in good yields. The course of the reaction of 6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-1,3-oxazin-2-ones (cyclic carbamates) depends on the substituent on the nitrogen atom. When it is H or Ts (and COPh), 2-vinyl-γ-butyrolactams or 6-amino-3-hexenoic acid esters are obtained. Cyclic N-benzylcarbamates are unreactive. trans-2,3-Disubstituted lactones and lactams arise stereoselectively from carbonates and carbamates, irrespective of their stereochemistry, respectively.
