Powerful methods for catalytic, enantioselective intermolecularDiels-Alder reactions have been developed. Ben L. Feringa and Gerard Roelfes of the University of Groningen have shown (Org. PMID:23453497 Lett. 2007, 9, 3647. DOI:…
Oxygenated secondary stereogenic centers are readily available. There is a limited range of carbon nucleophiles that will displace a secondary leaving group in high yield with clean inversion. Teruaki Mukaiyama…
Alkenes are usually reduced by catalytic hydrogenation. Diimide reduction is a mild and neutral alternative. Keith R. Buszek, now at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, has shown (J. Org.…
The power of catalytic C-H functionalization is illustrated by the elegant synthesis of rhazinicine (3) devised (Angew. Chem. PMID:34235739 Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 3004. DOI: 10.1002/anie.200705005)by Matthew J. Propargyl-PEG1-NHS ester…

Jon D. Rainier of the University of Utah has put forward (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 12604. DOI: 10.1021/ja073880r)an elegant alternative to Ru-catalyzed alkene metathesis, demonstrating that an ω-alkenyl…
Benjamin List of the Max Planck Institute, Mülheim devised (J. PMID:24293312 Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 6070.DOI: 10.1021/ja801181u)a chiral primary amine salt that catalyzed the enantioselectiveepoxidation of cyclohexenone 1. Larger…
Yasutaka Ishii of Kansai University has developed (J. Org. PMID:24982871 Chem. 2007, 72, 8820. DOI: 10.1021/jo701635f)a novel route to furans, using a mixed-metal catalyst to effect condensation of an aldehyde…
Several new developments in enantioselective C-O ring construction have been applied in the syntheses of natural products. Buy3-(Hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one To achieve control, the oxygenated quaternary center of dysiherbaine (9) must be…
