The laccase-catalyzed ringopening of 2,5-dimethylfuran using air as an oxidant stereoselectively yields (Z)- or (E)-3-hexene-2,5-dione depending on the mediator employed: with TEMPO the (Z)-3-hexene-2,5-dione is formed, while a combination of TEMPO and violuric acid gives (E)-3-hexene-2,5-dione. The (Z)-selective ring cleavage was extended to a variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical 2,5-dialkylfurans

Selectiveolefination of N-protected isoquinolones at C8-position has been achieved under rhodiumcatalysis. A range of maleimides were employed to obtain the olefinated products in moderate to excellent yield with excellent selectivity. Kinetic Isotope Effect (KIE) study and Hammett plot analysis were also performed to understand the reaction mechanism.
