Justin Du Bois of Stanford University developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 10202) a Ru catalyst for the stereoretentive hydroxylation of 1 to 2. John T. Groves of Princeton University effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 12847) equatorial chlorination of the test substrate 3. Kenneth M. Nicholas of the University of Oklahoma found (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 7644) that I2 catalyzed the amination of 5. Thorsten Bach of the Technische Universität München established (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 3690) that the amination of 7 proceeded with significant diastereoselectivity. Phil S. Baran of Scripps/La Jolla compiled (Synlett 2010, 1733) an overview of the development of C-H oxidation. Tethering can improve the selectivity of C-H functionalization. X. Peter Zhang of the University of South Florida devised (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 10192) a Co catalyst for the cyclization of 9 to 10. Teck-Peng Loh of Nanyang Technological University established (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 8417) conditions for the oxidation of 11 to 12. Jin-Quan Yu, also of Scripps/La Jolla, effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 17378) carbonylation of methyl C-H of 13 to give 14. Sunggak Kim, now also at Nanyang Technological University, established (Synlett 2010, 1647) conditions for the free-radical homologation of 15 to 17. Gong Chen of Pennsylvania State University extended (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 3414) his work on remote Pd-mediated activation by cyclizing 18 to 19. Many schemes have been developed in recent years for the oxidation of substrates to reactive electrophiles. Gonghua Song of the East China University of Science and Technology and Chao-Jun Li of McGill University reported (Synlett 2010, 2002) Fe nanoparticles for the oxidative coupling of 20 with 21. Zhi-Zhen Huang of Nanjing University found (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5214) that protonated pyrrolidine 25 was important for mediating the site-selective coupling of 24 with 23. Y. Venkateswarlu of the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, was even able (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 4898) to effect coupling with a cyclic alkene 28. AB3217-A 32, isolated in 1992, was shown to have marked activity against two spotted spider mites. Christopher R. A. Godfrey of Syngenta Crop Protection, Münchwilen, prepared (Synlett 2010, 2721) 32 from commercial anisomycin 30a. The key step in the synthesis was the oxidative cyclization of 30b to 31.

Nabyl Merbouh and Robert Britton of Simon Fraser University developed (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2013, 3219) a general route to a 2,5-disubstituted furan 3 by taking advantage of the ready α-chlorination of an aldehyde 1, followed by coupling with a ketone eno­late 2. Jérôme Waser of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne used (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 6743) 5 to oxidize the allene 4 to the furan 6. Qian Zhang and Xihe Bi of Northeast Normal University used (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 6953) Ag catalysis to prepare the pyrrole 9 by coupling the alkyne 7 with the isonitrile 8. Aiwen Lei of Wuhan University reported (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 6958) similar results. Professor Lei also developed (Chem. Commun. 2013, 49, 5853) the Pd-catalyzed oxidation of the allyl imine 10 to the pyrrole 11. Kamal K. Kapoor of the University of Jammu reduced (Tetrahedron Lett. 2013, 54, 5699) the Michael adduct 12 to the pyrrole 13 with triethyl phosphite. Edgar Haak of the Otto-von-Guericke-Universität, Magdeburg condensed (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2013, 7354) the alkynyl carbinol 14 with aniline to give the N-phenyl pyrrole 15. Jean Rodriguez and Thierry Constantieux of Aix-Marseille Université prepared (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2013, 4131) the pyridine 18 by combining the ketone 16 and the unsaturated aldehyde 17 with NH4OAc. Teck-Peng Loh of the University of Sciences and Technology of China and Nanyang Technological University found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 8584) that TMEDA was an effective organocatalyst for the assembly of the pyridine 21 from 19 and 20. Andrew D. Smith of the University of St Andrews showed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 11642) that the pyridyl tosylate 24, avail­able by the combination of 22 and 23, readily coupled with both carbon and amine nucleophiles. In a related development, D. Tyler McQuade of Florida State University prepared (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 5298) the 2-bromopyridine 26 from the alkylidene malononitrile 25. Two versatile approaches to substituted indoles were recently described. David F. Wiemer of the University of Iowa cyclized (J. Org. Chem. 2013, 78, 9291) the Stobbe product 27 to the 3-bromo indole 28.

Terminal epoxides such as 1 are readily available in high enantiomeric excess. Christopher D. Bray of Queen Mary University of London observed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2014, 55, 5890) clean inversion in the conversion of 1 to the aziridine 3 with the reagent 2. Yong-Chun Luo and Peng-Fei Xu of Lanzhou University opened (Org. Lett. 2014, 16, 4896) the activated cyclopropane 4 with benzyl azide, then heated the adduct to expel N2, leading to the azetidine 5. Zhenming Du of Roche Shanghai and Michelangelo Scalone of Roche Basel devel­oped (Org. Process Res. Dev. 2014, 18, 1702) practical conditions for the asymmetric hydrogenation of 6 to the pyrrolidine 7. Young Ho Rhee of the Pohang University of Science and Technology showed (Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 16391) that depending on the diol protecting group, addition of allyl silane to 8 could lead to either the cis product 9 or the trans diastereomer (not illustrated). Ohyun Kwon of UCLA used (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 11890) an organocatalyst to add the racemic allene 10 to 11 to give 12 in high ee. Tom Livinghouse of Montana State University cyclized (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 14352) the hydrazine 13 into an intermediate organozinc species that was then coupled with allyl bromide to give 14. Yonggang Chen of Merck Process and Xumu Zhang of Rutgers University devised (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 12761) practical conditions for the reduction of 15 to the piperidine 16. Teck-Peng Loh of the Nanyang Technological University and the University of Science and Technology of China effected (Chem. Commun. 2014, 50, 8324) asymmetric phenylation of biomass-derived 17 to give an intermediate that was oxidatively rearranged, then reduced to 18. Robert R. Knowles of Princeton University showed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 12217) that the cyclization of 19 to 20 proceeded with high diastereoselectivity. Maria J. Alves of the Universidade do Minho osmylated (Synlett 2014, 25, 1751) the adduct from the Diels–Alder cycload­dition of 22 to 21 to give 23 in high ee.

John F. Hartwig of the University of California, Berkeley effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 3375) selective borylation of the cyclopropane 1 to give 2. It would be particularly useful if this borylation could be made enantioselective. Eric M. Ferreira of Colorado State University showed (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 1772) that the enantomeric excess of 3 was transferred to the highly substituted cyclopropane 4. Antonio M. Echavarren of ICIQ Tarragona demonstrated (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 1576) that Au-mediated cyclobutene construction could be used to form the medium ring of 6. Joseph M. Fox of the University of Delaware developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 9283) what promises to be a general enantioselective route to cyclobutanes such as 8 by way of the intermediate bicyclobutane (not illustrated). Huw M.L. Davies of Emory University reported (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 310) a preliminary investigation in this same direction. Masahisa Nakada of Waseda University prepared (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 1004) the cyclopentane 10 by enantioselective cyclization of 9 followed by reductive opening. Young-Ger Suh of Seoul National University cyclized (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 531) the lactone 11 to the cyclopentane 12. Xavier Ariza and Jaume Farràs of the Universitat de Barcelona optimized (J. Org. Chem. 2013, 78, 5482) the Ti-mediated reductive cyclization of 13 to 14. The hydrogenation catalyst reduced the intermediate Ti–C bond without affecting the alkene. Erick M. Carreira of ETH Zürich observed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 5382) that a sterically demanding Rh catalyst mediated the highly diastereoselective cyclization of 15 to 16. The ketone 16 was the key intermediate in a synthesis of the epoxyisoprostanes. Jianrong (Steve) Zhou of Nanyang Technological University used (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 4906) a Pd catalyst to effect the coupling of 17 with the prochiral 18. Geum-Sook Hwang and Do Hyun Ryu of Sungkyunkwan University devised (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 7126) a boron catalyst to effect the addition of the diazo ester 21 to 20. They showed that the sidechain stereocenter was effective in directing the subsequent hydrogenation of 22.
