The Synthesis of Chiral Allyl Carbamates via Merger of Photoredox and Nickel Catalysis
Garbacz, Mateusz,Stecko, Sebastian

A mild, and versatile, organophotoredox/Ni-mediated protocol was developed for the direct preparation of diverse, enantioenriched allyl carbamates. The reported approach represents a significant departure from classical step-by-step synthesis of allyl carbamates. This dual photoredox/Ni based strategy offers unrivalled capacity for convergent unification of readily available alkyl halides and chiral carbamates derived from 1-bromo-alken-3-ols with high chemoselectivity and efficiency. The reported photoredox/Ni catalyzed cross-coupling reaction is not limited to carbamates, but also to other O-derivatives such as esters, ethers, acetals, carbonates or silyl ethers. To demonstrate the utility of the reported protocol, the resulting allyl carbamates were transformed into functionalized non-racemic allylamines through a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction in enantiospecific manner. This approach allowed for synthesis of enantiomeric allylamines by a simple control of the geometry of a double bond of allyl carbamates. (Figure presented.).

A highly enantioselective total synthesis of paecilocin A and 3-butyl-7-hydroxyphthalide is described. The key steps involved in this synthesis are enzymatic kinetic resolution and Alder-Rickert reaction.
Synthesis and use of stereospecifically deuterated analogues of palmitic acid to investigate the stereochemical course of the Δ11 desaturase of the processionary moth

Thaumetopoea pityocampa pheromone glands contain desaturases that, after several sequential reactions from palmitic acid, catalyze the formation of a unique enyne fatty acid, which is the immediate sex pheromone precursor. In this article, we describe the synthesis of different stereospecifically deuterium-labeled and isotopically tagged palmitic acid probes needed to decipher the stereochemical course of the T. pityocampa Δ11 desaturase. The synthesis of probes has been carried out by a chemoenzymatic route, in which the key step is the kinetic lipase-catalyzed resolution of racemic mixtures of secondary propargyl alcohols. The presence of the acetylenic bond simplifies the absolute configuration determination of the resolved alcohols. Moreover, it allows the introduction of the isotopic tag by deuteration. By use of the probes thus prepared, experimental evidence is presented that the Δ11 desaturase of T. pityocampa transforms palmitic acid into (Z)-11-hexadecenoic acid by removal of the pro-(R)-hydrogen atoms from both C11 and C12.
