sequence of acetalization, Tishchenko reaction and lactonization. The deliberative use of mercaptan, by comparison with alcohol, is advantageous to facilitate the catalytic cycle. The reaction mechanism and stereochemistry are proposed and supported by some experimental evidence. Such samarium ion/mercaptan cocatalyzed reactions show the feature of remote control, which is applicable to the asymmetric synthesis

Optically pure (R)-(+)-hexadecanolide, (+)-5-tridecanolide, and (+)-5-nonanolide were prepared from the corresponding δ-keto acids by reduction with fermenting baker’s yeast.

An efficient and highly flexible synthesis for chiral γ- and δ-lactones with high enantiomeric purity is described (>99% ee and 57â87% overall yield). The protocol involves alkylation of chiral 1,2-oxiranes with terminally unsaturated Grignard reagents. Subsequent oxidative degradation (OsO4âOxone) of the terminal double bond from chiral alk-1-en-5-ols and alk-1-en-6-ols affords 4- or 5-hydroxy acids and γ- and δ-lactones after acidic workup. The flexibility and efficiency of the protocol is illustrated by the synthesis of several alkanolides and alkenolides, hydroxy fatty acids and dihydroisocoumarins.
Both enantiomers of a series of delta-lactones (e.g., delta-decalactone, delta-dodelactone, and delta-hexadecalactone) were synthesized stereoselectively by Novozym 435-catalyzed resolution. Furthermore, only (S)-enantiomers of delta-lactones were synthesized with a combination of Novozym 435-catalyzed resolution and Mitsunobu reaction.

[GRAPHICS]We demonstrate a general method for conversion of various 5-oxopentanals to substituted delta-lactones and 1-oxa-2-decalones by the synergistic catalysis of samarium diiodide and 2-propanethiol (or disulfide), The deliberate use of mercaptan is advantageous to facilitate the catalytic cycle, This method shows high stereoselectivities, and an enantioselective procedure is feasible by using the chiral mercaptan (1R,2S)-1 phenyl-2-(N-acetamido)propanethiol as a promoter.
