Synthesis and stereochemical assignment of geraniol- and nerol-derived Cygerol enantiomers
摘要:
The enantiomers (up to 99% ee) of both geraniol- and nerol-derived 2-cyclohexyl-5,9-dimethyldeca-4,8-dienoic acid, the active ingredient of the wound healing medication Cygerol, were prepared via a low-temperature alkylation, basic hydrolysis, derivatization with (S)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one and chromatographic separation steps. The absolute configuration of stereocenters in the antipodes having an (E)- or (Z)-geometry of the internal double bond was determined based on characteristic H-1 NMR signals of the corresponding (S)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-one-derived imides and on conversion to the known diethyl (S)-2-cyclohexylsuccinate and (S)-2-cyclohexylbutane-1,4-diol with reported specific rotations.

waste‐limiting, and atom‐economical. The catalytic generation of chlorineatoms from chloride ions is one of the most challenging redox processes, where the requirement of harsh and oxidizing reaction conditions renders it seldom utilized in synthetic applications. We report the mild, controlled, and catalytic generation of chlorineatoms as a new opportunity for access to a wide variety of hydrogen atom transfer
A simple generation method of carbon radicals via 1e-oxidation of organotrifluoroborates and carboxylic acids by the action of an organophotoredox catalyst, 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium perchlorate ([Acr+–Mes]ClO4), has been developed. This organophotocatalytic protocol is amenable to radical C–C bond formation with electron-deficient olefins.

leading to good yields, and mechanistic experiments were performed to elucidate the catalyst's possible mechanistic pathway. Moreover, the inherent selectivity challenge regarding α,α-disubstituted aldehydes (decarbonylation problem) was studied and addressed.
photocatalytic Giese‐type reaction with alkylsilicates bearing C,O‐bidentate ligands as stable alkyl radical precursors has been reported. The alkylsilicates were prepared in one step from organometallic reagents. Not only primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals, but also elusive methyl radicals, could be generated by using the present reaction system. The generated radicals were trapped by electron‐deficient

SelectiveC−Hactivation is an area of growing importance. Metal‐free C−Hactivation of branched aldehydes mediating the hydroacylation of electron‐deficient alkenes is an attractive transformation, but is limited by selectivity issues, especially in the case of α,α‐disubstituted aldehydes. Herein, we report a green, cheap, versatile, and easily reproducible selectivehydroacylation of alkenes utilizing
