Venlafaxine (Figure 1) is the new generation antidepressant drug. A synthetic route to the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-venlafaxine through Evans Aldol protocol was designed. The key intermediate, (R)-2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl) ethyl4-methylbenzenesulfonate was prepared from cyclohexanone.

Herein, we described a new protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of apremilast using tert-butanesulfinamide as a chiral auxiliary. This synthetic route consisted of four steps starting from the commercially available 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, and apremilast was accordingly obtained in an overall 56% yield and with 95.5% ee.

The cycloaddition of α-hydroxy orthoquinodimethane, generated photochemically from 2-methylbenzaldehyde, to the fumarate and acrylate of S-methyl lactate has been found to give a single diastereomer with high asymmetric induction (>95% de). This reaction provides a new and versatile synthetic route to substituted tetralins of high optical purity. A trans stereochemistry between the vicinal hydroxyl and carboxylactyl groups has been established for these cycloadducts. This is in contrast to previous work where cis stereochemistry has always been found for major cycloadducts of α-hydroxy o-QDMs. The high asymmetric induction, unusual diastereoselectivity, and the potential use of these reactions in asymmetric synthesis are discussed. Keywords: o-quinodimethanes, Diels–Alder, asymmetric, cycloaddition, induction, diastereoselective.

An efficient synthetic route to install chiral 1,3-dimethyl units through a double Michael reaction of crotonaldehyde and nitromethane catalyzed by diphenylprolinol silyl ether is developed. Either 1,3-syn- or 1,3-anti-dimethyl units are obtained selectively depending on the enantiomer of the diphenylprolinol silyl ether catalyst used. The side chain of pneumocandin B0 is synthesized enantioselectively by using the present method as a key step.
