Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and synthesis have established that the major components of the rectal gland secretion of adult male cucumber flies (Dacus cucumis) are the E,E, E,Z, and Z,Z diastereomers of 2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiroundecane, which have been synthesized utilizing organomercury chemistry from 1,10-undecadien-6-one.The thermodynamically least stable Z,Z diastereomer has been characterized for the first time, by 1H and 13C NMR measurements and mass spectrometry.Minor amounts of 3-hydroxy-2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiroundecane and various derivatives of the 1,6-dioxaspirodecane and 1,7-dioxaspirododecane systems are also present. 1,3-Nonanediol occurs in significant amounts, and both enantiomers have been acquired by Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation of (E)-2-nonen-1-ol followed by Red-Al (Aldrich) reduction of the chiral epoxy alcohols.Chiral gas chromatographic analysis of the diols (as their cyclic carbonates) has demonstrated that the natural material is the R-(-) enantiomer.Natural (E,Z)-2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiroundecane is shown to be racemic, whereas the more abundant E,E diastereomer is enantiomerically highly pure, possessing the 2S,6R,8S configuration.The major volatile component of the rectal gland secretion of male Dacus halfordiae (Tryon) is also (E,E)-2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiroundecane, with no detectable levels of the E,Z or Z,Z isomers.Other spiroacetals present were 2-ethyl-7-methyl-1,6-dioxaspirodecane and the unusual even carbon-numbered (E,E)-2-ethyl-8-methyl-1,7-dioxaspiroundecane. 6-Oxo-1-nonanol, diethyl succinate, and 2-methyl-6-pentyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran were also identified.

1,2-Bis(boronic esters), derived from the enantioselective diboration of terminal alkenes, can be selectively homologated at the primary boronic ester by using enantioenriched primary/secondary lithiated carbamates or benzoates to give 1,3-bis(boronic esters), which can be subsequently oxidized to the corresponding secondary-secondary and secondary-tertiary 1,3-diols with full stereocontrol. The transformation was applied to a concise total synthesis of the 14-membered macrolactone, Sch 725674. The nine-step synthetic route also features a novel desymmetrizing enantioselective diboration of a divinyl carbinol derivative and high-yielding late-stage cross-metathesis and Yamaguchi macrolactonization reactions.
Hindered organoboron groups in organic chemistry. 21. The reactions of dimesitylboron stabilised carbanions with oxiranes

Dimesitylboron stabilised carbanions react with oxiranes to give products that can be oxidised to 1,3-diols. The reactions are, in general, under steric rather than electronic control, and proceed smoothly for all but tetrasubstituted oxiranes. Some unusual stereoselective effects have been observed.
