Picking sides: Asymmetric protonation of the titled compounds poses a most significant challenge and has been addressed by taking advantage of internal protonation and subsequent hemiacetal formation to avoid epimerization (see scheme). The substrates employed in these transformations can be easily accessed through a sequence of vinylogous aldol reactions with subsequent conjugate reductions.

Remote and reversible! Phosphinites serve as reversiblybounddirectinggroups for the remotecontrol of the regio‐ and diastereoselectivehydroformylation of bishomoallylicalcohols (see scheme; r.r: regioisomer ratio). The distance between the double bond and the functional hydroxy group to which the directinggroup is reversiblybound is the longest ever reported.

Microcolin B, a potent new immunosuppressant isolated from blue-green alga Lyngbya majuscula off the Venezuelan coast, has been made using a methyl-directed asymmetric hydrogenation reaction with rhodium on alumina catalyst on lactone 4 for the synthesis of the key (R,R)-2,4-dimethyloctanoic acid fragment 1. A new, direct mixed imide formation reaction was also developed for the production of the unusual prolylpyrrolen-2-one 2 portion of microcolin. The pentafluorophenyl ester of CBZ-proline 5 was reacted with the lithium imidate of lactam 6, providing the mixed imide in 80% yield. Coupling of acid 1 with the N-terminus of the tripeptide, followed by coupling with pyrrolylproline 2, gave microcolin B. The new mixed-imide forming reaction was also applied to a formal total synthesis of microcolin A. The pentafluorophenyl ester of TBS-protected cis-hydroxyproline was coupled with lactam 6, and the resultant imide was converted to the key pyrrolylproline made previously far microcolin A.

beta,gamma-Substituted allylic alcohols react with CO in the presence of catalytic quantities of palladium acetate and 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane affording alpha,beta-substituted-gamma-butyrolactones in 42-85% isolated yields. The complete stereoselectivity observed in some cases is a significant feature of the lactonization reaction, with (E)-allylic alcohols affording trans-disubstituted lactones. Depending on the structure of the allylic alcohol used in the cyclocarbonylation reaction, the formation of the corresponding alkene or the beta,gamma-unsaturated carboxylic acid was observed as a side or the principal reaction.
