The reaction of m-fluorophenylsulfone anions with dialkylboranes, followed by alkaline hydroperoxide oxidation, yields alcohols in high yields. Optimization of the process, scope and limitation, and application to the synthesis of one of the C14-C35 building blocks of E7389, a right half analogue of halichondrin B, are reported.

Addition of RMgCl (R = n-Bu, Ph) to pinacol esters of 6-tosyloxy-l-alkenyl boronic acids at -78 °C gave the borates, which upon warming to room temperature underwent migration of R on boron to C(1) carbon and concomitant ring construction C-C bond formati

Lithium pentamethylcyclopentadienide (C5Me5Li, Cp*Li) reacted with aromatic aldehyde to provide the corresponding carbinol in excellent yield. The carbinol returns to the parent aldehyde and pentamethylcyclopentadiene upon exposure to acid or due to heating. Chlorodimethylaluminum is essential as an additive to attain the nucleophilic addition of Cp*Li to aliphatic aldehyde. The carbinol derived from aliphatic aldehyde returns to the parent aldehyde and pentamethylcyclopentadiene by the action of a catalytic amount of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ). The reversible addition/elimination of the Cp* group can represent a protection of aldehyde. Mechanistic details of the carbon-carbon bond cleavage are also disclosed.
