Syntheses of methyl jasmonate and analogues
Chapuis, Christian,Skuy, David,Richard, Claude-Alain
supporting information, p. 194 - 204 (2019/04/25)
This account corresponds to the presentation given by the main author on the occasion of the 2nd Swiss Industrial Symposium in Basel (October 19th, 2018). After a short historical introduction to methyl-jasmonate and methyl-epijasmonate, it essentially focuses on the reported more promising industrial approaches devoted to the synthesis of these naturally occurring odorants isolated from jasmine flowers. Some attempts to simplify these approaches, as well as independent unreported strategies are also presented. Several asymmetric methodologies are also discussed such as Xie hydrogenation, Corey-CBS reduction, enzymatic resolution, and 1,4-addition.
O-H hydrogen bonding promotes H-atom transfer from α C-H bonds for C-alkylation of alcohols

The efficiency and selectivity of hydrogen atom transfer from organic molecules are often difficult to control in the presence of multiple potential hydrogen atom donors and acceptors. Here, we describe the mechanistic evaluation of a mode of catalytic activation that accomplishes the highly selective photoredox a-alkylation/lactonization of alcohols with methyl acrylate via a hydrogen atom transfer mechanism. Our studies indicate a particular role of tetra-n-butylammonium phosphate in enhancing the selectivity for α C-H bonds in alcohols in the presence of allylic, benzylic, α-C=O, and α-ether C-H bonds.
Synthesis of (S)-γ- lactones with a combination of lipase-catalyzed resolution and mitsunobu reaction
Shimotori, Yasutaka,Miyakoshi, Tetsuo
experimental part, p. 1570 - 1582 (2009/11/30)
Six kinds of (S) - lactones [e.g., (S) - decalactone, (S) - undecalactone, and (S) - jasmolactone] were synthesized with 71-88% yields and 97% optical purities by combining lipase-catalyzed resolution with the Mitsunobu reaction. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
