Synthetic approach toward cis-disubstituted γ- and δ-lactones through enantioselective dialkylzinc addition to aldehydes: application to the synthesis of optically active flavors and fragrances
to optically active cis-4,5-disubstituted γ- and δ-lactones by catalytic enantioselective addition of dialkyzincs to cinnamic aldehydes and RCM ring closure has been reported. The synthetic importance of the enantioselective dialkylzinc alkylation of aldehydes has been thus widened. Such an approach has then been employed for the enantioselective synthesis of naturally occurring γ-lactone flavors like

and tert‐butyl alcohol greatly enhances reaction rates, promoting rapid resolutions. The use of chloroform as solvent allows the use of ambient air as the terminal oxidant at 23 °C, resulting in enhanced catalyst selectivity. These improved reaction conditions have permitted the successful kineticresolution of benzylic, allylic, and cyclopropyl secondary alcohols to high enantiomeric excess with good‐to‐excellent
已经开发出第一个钯催化的仲醇对映选择性氧化反应,利用容易获得的二胺(-)-金雀花石作为手性配体,分子氧作为化学计量氧化剂。关于碱基和氢键供体作用的机制见解导致了对原始系统的一些改进。也就是说,碳酸铯和叔丁醇的添加大大提高了反应速率,促进了快速分辨率。使用氯仿作为溶剂允许在 23 °C 下使用环境空气作为终端氧化剂,从而提高催化剂选择性。这些改进的反应条件使得能够以良好至优异的选择性因子成功地将苄基、烯丙基和环丙基仲醇动力学拆分为高对映体过量。该催化剂体系也已应用于内消旋二醇的去对称化,提供高产率的对映体富集的羟基酮。
Asymmetric Magnesium‐Catalyzed Hydroboration by Metal‐Ligand Cooperative Catalysis
Asymmetric catalysis with readily available, cheap, and non-toxic alkaline earth metal catalysts represents a sustainable alternative to conventional synthesis methodologies. In this context, we describe the development of a first MgII -catalyzed enantioselective hydroboration providing the products with excellent yields and enantioselectivities. NMR spectroscopy studies and DFT calculations provide

undergoes efficient enantioselective addition to a wide variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of a chiral perhydro-1,3-benzoxazine-based aminoalcohol. Methyl carbinols are obtained in good yields and in enantiomeric excesses of 99% or more in the absence of any metal other than zinc. Dimethylzinc undergoes efficient enantioselective addition to a wide variety

imparts high enantioselectivity has been disclosed for the synthesis of optically active alcohols, which may undergo further chemical transformations. The enantioselective alkylation of aldehydes with dialkylzincs to afford the corresponding optically active alcohols with excellent enantioselectvities has been achieved in the presence of 0.1–0.5 mol % of the camphor‐derived chiral ligand (−)‐2‐exo
