Synthesis of Thioesters by Simultaneous Activation of Carboxylic Acids and Alcohols Using PPh<sub>3</sub>/NBS with Benzyltriethylammonium Tetrathiomolybdate as the Sulfur Transfer Reagent
A new and simple route for the synthesis of thioesters starting from carboxylicacids and alcohols is reported by usingtetrathiomolybdate as the key sulfurtransferreagent. Triphenylphosphane and N-bromosuccinimide were used for the activation of the carboxylicacid and alcohol in the same pot followed by the transfer of sulfur from tetrathiomolybdate. Thioesters were obtained in good to moderate
Esters were synthesized from thioesters and alcohols in high yields by an electrochemical activation. Different results were obtained by the use of n-Bu4N+ I− and LiBF4 as the electrolyte.

Shedding light on translation: A light‐driven, biomimetic [3+2] cycloaddition has been achieved with the synthesis of a series of rocaglate derivatives. Mechanistic data suggest the possibility for donor–acceptor interactions and the involvement of triplet biradicaloids in the photoexcited state. Several new rocaglate derivatives approach the potency of the anticancer agent silvestrol.

With a consecutive "asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA)/cross-metathesis (CM)/conjugate addition (CA)" protocol it is possible to synthesize either stereoisomer of compounds containing a vicinal dialkyl array with excellent stereoselectivity. The versatility of this protocol in natural product synthesis is demonstrated in the preparation of the ant pheromones faranal and lasiol.
