Larsson, Rikard,Sterner, Olov,Johansson, Martin
, p. 657 - 660 (2009)
(Figure Presented) A concise biomimetic approach toward transtaganolides C and D involving an Ireland-Claisen rearrangement/intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction sequence suggesting the involvement of pericyclic reactions in the biosynthesis of these biologically active plant metabolites is presented. A final coupling reaction establishes the carbon framework of the transtaganolides.

The first C?SCF3/SeCF3 cross-coupling reactions using gold redox catalysis [(MeDalphos)AuCl], AgSCF3 or Me4NSeCF3, and organohalides as substrates are reported. The new methodology enables a one-stop shop synthesis of aryl/alkenyl/alkynyl trifluoromethylthio- and selenoethers with a broad substrate scope (>60 examples with up to 97 % isolated yield). The method is scalable, and its robustness is evidenced by the late-stage functionalization of various bioactive molecules, which makes this reaction an attractive alternative in the synthesis of trifluoromethylthio- and selenoethers for pharmaceutical and agrochemical research and development.

Polyalkyl furans are widespread in nature, often performing important biological roles. Despite a plethora of methods for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted furans, the construction of tetraalkyl furans remains non-trivial. The prevalence of alkyl groups in bioactive furan natural products, combined with the desirable bioactivities of tetraalkyl furans, calls for a general synthetic protocol for polyalkyl furans. This paper describes a Michael–Heck approach, using sequential phosphine-palladium catalysis, for the preparation of various polyalkyl furans from readily available precursors. The versatility of this method is illustrated by the total syntheses of nine distinct polyalkylated furan natural products belonging to different classes, namely the furanoterpenes rosefuran, sesquirosefuran, and mikanifuran; the marine natural products plakorsins A, B, and D and plakorsin D methyl ester; and the furan fatty acids 3D5 and hydromumiamicin.
Enantioselective Synthesis of α-Chiral Propargylic Silanes by Copper-Catalyzed 1,4-Selective Addition of Silicon Nucleophiles to Enyne-Type α,β,γ,δ-Unsaturated Acceptors

A copper-catalyzed deconjugative addition of silicon nucleophiles to a broad range of enyne-type α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated acceptors with high enantiocontrol is reported. The method is 1,4-selective with hardly any formation of the 1,6-adduct. The double-bond geometry is shown to be critical for achieving this chemoselectivity: exclusive 1,4-addition for E and predominant 1,6-addition for Z. By this, E-configured enynoates, enynamides, and enynones have been converted to the corresponding α-chiral propargylic silanes with excellent enantiomeric excesses.
