A series of 22-hydroxy-Δ23-sterols comprising (3β,5α,6β,22S)-6-methoxy-3,5-cyclo-25,26,27-trinorcholest-23-en-22-ol (6), (3β,5α,6β,22S,23E)-6-methoxy-3,5-cyclo-26,27-dinorcholest-23-en-22-ol (7), 3β,5α,6β,22R)-6-methoxy-23-methyl-3,5-cyclo-25,26,27-trinorcholest-23-en-22-ol(10),3β,5α,6β,22S,23Z)-6-methoxy-3,5-cyclo-26,27-dinorcholest-23-en-22-ol (11), and 3β,5α,6β,22R)-6-methoxy-3,5-cyclo-26,27-dinorergost-23-en-22-ol (12) were subjected to epoxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of either vanadyl acetoacetonate or molybdenum hexacarbonyl, and the threo:erythro ratios of the products were determined. The results are of relevance for the synthesis of sterols with oxygenated side chains, such as brassinolide (1). The oxidations of 6 and 7 were erythro selective with all three oxidants, especially with the vanadium-catalyzed system. Peracid oxidation of the 22-tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether (8) and 22-pivaloate (9) of alcohol 7 showed similar erythro selectivity to that of the parent compound 7. Allylic alcohol 10 gave exclusively the erythro epoxide with all three oxidants, while 11 and 12 were threo-selective under all three conditions. Molecular modeling indicated that erythro selectivity in the vanadium-catalyzed epoxidation of 10 was consistent with a destabilizing interaction (A(1,2) strain) between the gem-methyl and C(21) methyl groups in the conformation required for formation of the threo-isomer. The threo-selective peracid oxidations of 11 and 12 were attributed to A(1,3) strain between the cis-methyl groups and C(20) in the conformation required for formation of the erythro-epoxide. The differences in the calculated energies of conformations leading to the threo- and erythro epoxide diastereomers of substrates containing no gem or cis substituents proved too small to permit reliable prediction of diastereoselectivity. Key words: 22-hydroxy-Δ23-sterols, brassinosteroids, allylic alcohols, epoxidation, diastereoselectivity

The Streptomyces metabolite (-)-FR182877 3 binds to and stabilizes microtubules, showing the same potency of anticancer activity as Taxol (paclitaxel). Masahisa Nakada of Waseda University assembled (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2009, 48, 2580) the hexacyclic ring system of 3 by the tandem intramolecular Diels-Alder–intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder cyclization of 1, generating seven new stereogenic centers in a single step. The construction of the pentaene substrate 1 started with the known aldehyde 4, prepared by homologation of commercial ethyl 3-methyl-4-oxocrotonate. Addition of the propionyl oxazolidine anion 5 proceeded with high diastereocontrol, to give 6. The acyl oxazolidinone was not an efficient acylating agent, so it was converted to the Weinreb amide. Protection and deprotection then delivered the allylic acetate 7. The key step in the pentaene assembly was the carefully optimized Negishi-Wipf methylation of 8, followed by Pd-mediated coupling of the alkenyl organometallic so generated with the allylic acetate, to give 9. Condensation of the derived keto phosphonate 11 with the known aldehyde 12 then delivered the enone 13. The Nakada group has worked extensively on the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of substrates such as 1. They have shown that protected anti diols such as 1 cyclize with substantial diastereocontrol and in the desired sense. In contrast, cyclizations of protected syn diols proceed with poor diastereocontrol. The enone 13 was therefore reduced to the anti diol and protected, leading to 14 . Oxidation of 14 at room temperature led to a complex mixture, but slow oxidation at elevated temperature delivered 2 . Although the yield of 2 was not much better than if the reactions were carried out sequentially, first the intramolecular Diels-Alder cyclization, then the intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder cyclization, with the cascade protocol pure 2 was more readily separated from the reaction matrix. With 2 in hand, there was still the challenge of assembling the seven-membered ring. Cyclization was effected with an intramolecular Heck protocol. The two diastereomers of the allylic alcohol 15 cyclized with comparable efficiency. Ir-catalyzed alkene migration then converted the allylic alcohols to a mixture of ketones, which was equilibrated to give the more stable diasteromer.

The metal hydride reduction products of some styryl ketones and dimethylaminomethyl Mannich bases have been investigated. Sodium borohydride selectively attacked the carbonyl carbon atom to give the desired allylic alcohols. Reduction of 1-phenyl-1-nonen-3-one with lithium aluminum hydride gave 1-phenyl-3-nonanol which represents the conjugate addition product. Fragmentations of 1-phenyl-1-nonen-3-ol were compared to the modes of mass spectral breakdown of 4-phenyl-3-buten-2-ol, an allylic alcohol which is known to behave like a saturated ketone on electron bombardment. Peaks corresponding to the McLafferty ion and the loss of a methyl radical from this rearrangement product were observed. Certain Mannich bases were reduced to diastereoisomeric allylic amino alcohols. The separation, 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy, and relative stereochemistry of the diastereoisomers are discussed.

Homogeneous palladium-catalyzed (Pd-catalyzed) cyclocarbonylation of unsaturated allylic alcohols and alkynols in the presence of hydrogen forms lactone products with important applications in the food, perfume, and polymer industry. In this work, the cyclocarbonylation of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol was studied for the first time using a very active Pd-DPEphos (bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether) catalyst in the presence of the ionic liquid (IL) [BMIM]Cl (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride) in dichloromethane to selectively produce 4,4-dimethyl-γ-butyrolactone. The effect of different parameters such as temperature, gas partial pressures, time of reaction, substrate and ligand concentrations were investigated and found to provide optimal conditions for lactonization (95 °C, 28 bar (CO/H2/N2: 20/5/3)), 18 h, 0.1 M substrate, and 16 mol% DPEphos), which were significantly milder than previously reported systems for cyclocarbonylation. Importantly, the study further showed that presence of the IL in the reaction mixture provided stabilization of the catalyst system and prevented formation of Pd-black, which allowed reuse of the catalytic system in consecutive reactions after intermediate extraction of the lactone product.

<p>Beta-amino phosphines derived from amino-acids are excellent supporting ligands for Mn(I) transfer hydrogenation catalysts. Namely, a variety of ketones and chalcones are efficiently reduced under mild conditions (2-propanol, 3 h, 60 °C). Moreover, chalcones are selectively reduced to the saturated ketone in 2-propanol and allylic alcohols are quantitatively converted into the same product in toluene.</p>

Vanadium-containing aluminosilicate molecule sieves were observed to exhibit remarkable catalytic activity in oxidation of hydrocarbons, notably epoxidation of allylic alcohol. In this paper, we review the spectroscopic characterisation of framework incorporation and redox behavior of vanadium in both natural montmorillonite and K10. NMR and EPR studies of coordination and oxidation state of vanadium in dried and calcined samples show that vanadium exists mainly in a tetrahedral oxygen coordination as an isolated monomeric state (VO43-) in V-mont and also as dimeric state [O3V-O-VO3]2- in V-K10 case. The vanadium, in both systems, shows redox properties, changing its oxidation state readily between V4+ and V5+. The development of a high surface area in the V-K10 case, provides a well-dispersed vanadium species, which inceases the initial rate compared to the V-mont one. This vanadium species, in highest oxidation state (V), is found to be the catalytic centre in epoxidation of allylic alcohols, according to a heterolytic mechanism via a tert-butylhydroperoxide-vanadium intermediate.

A concise synthesis of both E-isomers of 2S-amino-3-(2′-aminomethyl-cyclopropyl)propionic acid, new methano-l-lysines, is described. The synthetic route includes nine steps from l-methionine, with a key step involving the cyclopropanation of an intermediate E-allylic alcohol. The resultant hydroxymethylcyclopropanes were readily separated and converted into the title α-amino acids. The stereochemistry around the cyclopropane rings was deduced by conducting the cyclopropanation in the presence of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-d-tartaric acid diamide butylboronate, a chiral controller which is known to favour the production of S-hydroxymethyl cyclopropanes from allylic alcohols.
