An efficient protocol was developed for the synthesis of tertiary alcohols via nucleophilic addition of organometallic compounds of s-block elements (Grignard and organolithium reagents) to esters performed in the biodegradable choline chloride/urea eutectic mixture or in water. This approach displays a broad substrate scope, with the addition reaction proceeding quickly (20 s reaction time) and cleanly, at ambient temperature and under air, straightforwardly furnishing the expected tertiary alcohols in yields of up to 98%. The practicability of the method is exemplified by the sustainable synthesis of some representative S-trityl-L-cysteine derivatives, which are a potent class of Eg5 inhibitors, also via telescoped one-pot processes.

The copper-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of unactivated alkenes for the synthesis of tetrahydrofurans, phthalans, isochromans, and morpholines from 4- and 5-alkenols is reported. The substrate scope is complementary to existing enantioselective alkene hydroalkoxylations and is broad with respect to substrate backbone and alkene substitution. The asymmetric induction and isotopic labeling studies support a polar/radical mechanism involving enantioselective oxycupration followed by C-[Cu] homolysis and hydrogen atom transfer. Synthesis of the antifungal insecticide furametpyr was accomplished.

The utility of triphosgene and DMAP as mild reagents for chemoselective dehydration of tertiary alcohols is reported. Performed in dichloromethane at room temperature, this reaction is readily tolerated by a broad scope of substrates, yielding alkenes preferentially with the (E)-geometry. While formation of the Hofmann products is generally favored, a dramatic change in alkene selectivity toward the Zaitzev products is observed when the reaction is carried out in dichloroethane at reflux.
