We report a contra-thermodynamic isomerization of internal olefins to terminal olefins driven by redox reactions and formation of Si-F bonds. This process involves chain-walking hydrosilylation of internal olefins and subsequent formal retro-hydrosilylation. The process rests upon the high activities of platinum hydrosilylation catalysts for isomerization of metal alkyl intermediates and a new, metal-free
Replacement of hydroxyl groups in secondary and primary alcohols (1) with a fluorine atom arising from tetrafluorobote anion has been performed by the electrochemical formation of alkoxy triphenylphosphonium tetrafluoroborarates (2) from 1, followed by their thermal decomposition. The procedure is quite simple, involving : (1) constant-current electrolysis of a mixture of 1, Ph3P, and Ph3PH·BF4 in CH2Cl2 in an undivided cell; (2) refluxing a tetrahydrofuran or dioxane solution of the residue afforded by evaporation of the solvent in vacuo after the electrolysis. Cyclic secondary alcohols such as 3β-hydroxy steroids and 2-adamantanol are transformed into the corresponding fluorides in satisfactory yields when the geometry of the leaving group in 2 is suitable for the substitution or an elimination process for 2 to give an alkene is stereochemically forbidden. The fluorination of steroidal alcohols and 4-phenyl-1-cyclohexanol proceeded with complete inversion, demonstrating that a fluorine atom from the tetrafluoroborate anion attacks from the side opposite to the phosphonium moiety in 2 via an SN2 mechanism rather than as SN1 mechanism. The fluorination of acyclic secondary and primary alcohols was performed by the present method in reasonable yields, although the reaction for the latter required more forcing conditions, such as refluxing in dioxane.

the development of new synthetic methods to access these important fluorinated motifs. Herein we report the sulfuryl fluoride-mediated deoxyfluorination of alcohols using room temperature reaction conditions in only an hour. A wide range of primary aliphatic alcohols were efficiently converted to the corresponding fluoride in 46-70% isolated yields. Secondaryalcohols were also effectively deoxyfluorinated
Aminoalcohol lipidoids are prepared by reacting an amine with an epoxide-terminated compound are described. Methods of preparing aminoalcohol lipidoids from commercially available starting materials are also provided. Aminoalcohol lipidoids may be prepared from racemic or stereochemically pure epoxides. Aminoalcohol lipidoids or salts forms thereof are preferably biodegradable and biocompatible and may be used in a variety of drug delivery systems. Given the amino moiety of these aminoalcohol lipidoid compounds, they are particularly suited for the delivery of polynucleotides. Complexes, micelles, liposomes or particles containing the inventive lipidoids and polynucleotide have been prepared. The inventive lipidoids may also be used in preparing microparticles for drug delivery. They are particularly useful in delivering labile agents given their ability to buffer the pH of their surroundings.
