Aldol condensation of the magnesium enolate derived from anhydro-6,6-dibromopenicillin with acetaldehyde allows for the stereospecific introduction of a 1-R-hydroxyethyl substituent at C-6. Protection of the hydroxy group followed by reductive dehalogenation provides anhydro-6(α)-[(1-R)-(tert;-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-ethyl]-penicillin, an intermediate in the synthesis of thienamycin. A high yield conversion of this anhydro derivative to (4-R)-acetoxy-(3-S)-[(1-R)-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-ethyl]-azetidin-2-one (5) is also reported.

The side-chain alkylation of toluene with methanol was investigated over some Fe-modified Cs ion-exchanged X zeolite (CsX) catalysts prepared via the impregnation method using different iron sources. The absorption/activation behaviors of the reactants on the surface of the catalysts were studied by in situ Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) mass measurements. Modification of CsX with a small amount of FeCl3 could result in a considerable decrease in catalytic activity, due mainly to the remarkable decrease in the density of acidic and basic sites of the catalysts. Interestingly, the Fe(NO3)3-modified CsX with an optimum Fe loading of 0.15 wt.% shows improved catalytic activity and high yield compared to the side-chain alkylation products. Modification of CsX with Fe(NO3)3 could also result in a decrease in basic sites of the catalyst. However, such a change does not bring an obvious negative effect on the adsorption/activation of toluene, while it could effectively inhibit the generation of the undesired bidentate formate. Furthermore, the introduced FeOx species (derived from the decomposition of Fe(NO3)3) may also act as new Lewis acidic sites to participate in the activation of methanol and to stabilize the formed active intermediates (i.e., unidentate formate). Therefore, modification of CsX with a suitable amount of Fe(NO3)3 may adjust its adsorption/activation ability for reagents by changing the acid–base properties of the catalyst, which can finally enhance the catalytic performance for the side-chain alkylation of toluene with methanol.

The SNAr reaction of 1-fluoroxanthone derivatives with alkoxide of 1,1-dimethylallyl alcohol cleanly afforded the corresponding ethers, which have thus far been unavailable. The obtained ethers underwent the Claisen rearrangement at room temperature by treatment with silica gel in toluene. This two-step protocol provides expeditious and high-yield access to xanthones possessing isoprenyl or the related allylic side chain at the C2 position.

Metal chloride cyclizations of the 4-demethoxy anthraquinonyl 1′,3'-dioxan (6) are highly diastereoselective , giving 9-chloro-9-methylanthracyclinones in high yield. The selectivity is inversely proportional to the strength of the Lewis acid, with the mild Lewis acid tin(IV) chloride/ dimethylformamide affording an 82% yield of the diastereomer (21). The predominant products have a (7S) configuration and a trans relationship between the C7 side chain and the 9-chloro substituent. Cyclization of the analogous dimethoxy 1′,3′-dioxan (4) with tin(IV) chloride/ dimethylformamide is considerably less selective, but the major product also has a (7S)-trans stereochemistry. Titanium(IV) chloride effects stereorandom cyclization of (4).

Zr-mediated equilibrating cyclocarbonylation of a designed triene led with high diastereocontrol to the ABC 6-6-5 tricyclic core of ritterazine N. The 5-5 EF spiroketal side chain of ritterazine N was prepared by equilibrating cyclization of an acyclic keto diol. The two components were coupled, and the D ring was assembled by intramolecular aldol condensation.

Sweroside tetraacetate (2b) has been converted in high yield by osmylation to the epimeric glycols 3 and 4 (R = H) which have been separated. This reaction proceeds with high chemoselectivity for reaction at the vinyl side chain but with low stereoselectivity, leading to a small excess of the 3-R isomer. Secologanin derivatives appear to show a much lower chemoselectivity in this reaction, but the stereoselectivity is considerably higher, and opposite to that in the sweroside example. Conditions have been found for oxidizing the dimethylacetal 5b of secologanin tetraacetate in useful yields to the epimeric glycols 6 and 7 (R = H); in this reaction a large excess of the 3-S isomer is formed. The reasons for these differences in selectivity appear to be related to differences between the two series in conformational preference.
