To broaden the range of applicability of a reduction reaction mediated by the marine fungal strain Penicillium citrinum CBMAI 1186 to organic chemical processes, the ability of whole mycelia to grow in biphasic mixtures with organic solvents was tested with acetone, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, dichloromethane, n-hexane and toluene. n-Hexane was the least toxic solvent according to the amount of mycelial mass grown in an artificial sea water medium mixed with each solvent. Therefore, whole hyphae of P. citrinum CBMAI 1186 were used as biocatalysts in the chemoselective biotransformation of the carbon-carbon double bond in α,β-, di-α,β-, and mono-α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated ketones (3a, 3c-f) in a biphasic system of phosphate buffer and n-hexane (9:1). Only the di-α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated ketone (3b) was not biocatalyzed under these conditions. In general, there were good conversions of saturated ketones by the enoate reductase enzymes of P. citrinum CBMAI 1186.
Z-Selective Synthesis of γ,δ-Unsaturated Ketones via Pd-Catalyzed Ring Opening of 2-Alkylenecyclobutanones with Arylboronic Acids

Pd-catalyzed 1,2-addition (instead of 1,4-addition) of arylboronic acids to 2-alkylenecyclobutanones followed by β-carbon elimination from the resulting palladium cyclobutanolates to afford γ,δ-unsaturated ketones was developed. The desired γ,δ-unsaturated ketones were obtained in good to excellent yields with Z/E selectivities of up to >99:1 and a broad spectrum of functional group tolerability.
Diastereoselective and Stereodivergent Synthesis of 2-Cinnamylpyrrolines Enabled by Photoredox-Catalyzed Iminoalkenylation of Alkenes

A photoredox-catalyzed iminoalkenylation of γ-alkenyl O-acyl oximes has been developed. Readily available alkenylboronic acids serve as alkenylation reagents, leading to densely functionalized pyrrolines. Both (E)- and (Z)-cinnamylpyrrolines are accessible depending on the reaction solvent. In dichloromethane, (E)-cinnamylpyrrolines are produced through a photoredox-mediated single-electron-transfer process. In tetrahydrofuran, (Z)-cinnamylpyrrolines are generated by photocatalytic contra-thermodynamic E-to-Z isomerization of (E)-cinnamylpyrrolines though an energy-transfer pathway. Two stereocenters are established with complete diastereoselectivity and only one diastereomer is isolated.

Additions of carbon nucleophiles to racemic α-stereogenic β-oxo acid derivatives that deliver enantiomerically enriched tertiary alcohols are valuable, but uncommon. This article describes stereodivergent Cu-catalyzed borylative cyclizations of racemic β-oxo acid derivatives bearing tethered pro-nucleophilic olefins to deliver highly functionalized cyclopentanols containing four contiguous stereogenic centers. The reported protocol is applicable to a range of β-oxo acid derivatives, and the diastereomeric products are readily isolable by typical chromatographic techniques. α-Stereogenic-β-keto esters are typically thought to have extreme or spontaneous configurational fragility, but mechanistic studies for this system reveal an unusual scenario wherein productive catalysis occurs on the same time scale as background substrate racemization and completely outcompetes on-cycle epimerization, even under the basic conditions of the reaction.

The B(C6F5)3-catalyzed chemoselective hydrosilylation of α,β- and α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated ketones into the corresponding non-symmetric ketones in mild reaction conditions is developed. Nearly 55 substrates including those bearing reducible functional groups such as alkynyl, alkenyl, cyano, and aromatic heterocycles are chemoselectively hydrosilylated in good to excellent yields. Isotope-labeling studies revealed that hexafluoro-2-propanol also served as a hydrogen source in the process.
