A tandem Aldol condensation/dehydration of aldehydes and ketones could be performed under d-aminoacylase and N-heterocyclic compounds used as co-catalyst in organic media. Some control experiments have been designed to demonstrate that either acylase or N-heterocyclic compounds could not catalyze the tandem reaction. The acylase showed the highest activity in the presence of imidazole and has been used to catalyze the tandem Aldol condensation/dehydration between different aldehydes and ketones. This method has provided a new strategy to perform the tandem Aldol condensation/dehydration and expanded the application of biocatalysts.

Tetrahydropyran derivatives are found in bioactives, and introduction of the trifluoromethyl group into molecules often improves biofunctions. Here we report diastereo- and enantioselective oxa-hetero-Diels-Alder reactions catalyzed by amine-based catalyst systems that afford trifluoromethyl-substituted tetrahydropyranones. Catalyst systems and conditions suitable for the reactions to provide the desired diastereomer products with high enantioselectivities were identified, and various trifluoromethyl-substituted tetrahydropyranones were synthesized with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Mechanistic investigation suggested that the reactions involve a [4 + 2] cycloaddition pathway, in which the enamine of the enone acts as the diene and the ketone carbonyl group of the aryl trifluoromethyl ketone acts as the dienophile. In this study, tetrahydropyran derivatives with the desired stereochemistry that are difficult to synthesize by previously reported methods were concisely obtained, and the range of tetrahydropyran derivatives that can be synthesized was expanded.

Chemoselective and metal-free reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones by: In situ produced benzeneselenol from O -(tert -butyl) Se-phenyl selenocarbonate

The carbon-carbon double bond of arylidene acetones and chalcones can be selectively reduced with benzeneselenol generated in situ by reacting O-(tert-butyl) Se-phenyl selenocarbonate with hydrochloric acid in ethanol. This mild, metal-free and experimentally simple reduction procedure displays considerable functional-group compatibility, products are obtained in good to excellent yields, and the use of toxic Se/CO mixture and NaSeH, or the smelly and air-sensitive benzeneselenol, is avoided.
