Asymmetric Intramolecular Hydroalkoxylation of Unactivated Alkenes Catalyzed by Chiral N-Triflyl Phosphoramide and TiCl4?

By using a combination of a chiral N-triflyl phosphoramide and TiCl4 as the catalyst, a new process for asymmetric intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of unactivated alkenes was developed, producing various chiral tetrahydrofuran derivatives in 51%—99% yields with 30%—71% ee's.

Combined dealkoxycarbonylation and lactonisation of unsaturated malonates in ionic liquids

Heating unsaturated malonates with LiCl and water in [bmim][Br] or [bmim][BF4]/[bmim][Br] produces unsaturated esters or lactones, respectively.

Acylations and Alkylations of an Ester Enolate in High Yield at Room Temperature on Polystyrene Supports

Polymer-bound esters of 3-phenylpropanoic acid are converted to enolates at room temperature and acylated and alkylated in 73-87percent isolated yields with little or no self-condensation of ester.
