Article Abstract
2-Alkyl-substituted butadienes are synthesized starting from a masked butadiene reagent, which allows the regiospecific synthesis of 2-alkylbutadienes by lithiation and subsequent reaction with alkyl halides or aliphatic aldehydes. The regioselectivity of the reaction with allylic halides and aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes is studied.

In an attempt to react aminocyclopropenones with cyclic imines in order to synthesise amido-substituted pyrrolizidine natural products, we found that aminocyclopropenones undergo a previously unreported stereospecific and regiospecific catalyst-free, thermal ring-opening reaction with alcohols to yield β-enamino esters (also known as vinylogous carbamates or aminoacrylates). We report 21 examples in 45 to 97% isolated yield. The reaction occurs nucleophilic attack at the cyclopropenone carbonyl followed by regiospecific ring opening of the cyclopropenone with retention of alkene geometry.

A CFOH-catalysed tandem cyclization of -alkynylnaphthols and -quinone monoketals is disclosed. The CFOH catalyst activates alkynylnaphthol to generate an all-carbon tetrasubstituted VQM by nucleophilic addition to quinone monoketal (Michael addition). Furthermore, the CFOH catalyst triggers -quinone monoketal to generate an electrophilic oxocarbenium cation to be captured by -alkynylnaphthol regiospecifically, resulting in the formation of an all-carbon tetrasubstituted VQM, followed by an intramolecular cyclization to afford a series of 1-(3-arylbenzofuran-2-yl)naphthalen-2-ols.

The dehydroxyfluorination of allylic alcohols stands as one of the most direct and effective methods for synthesizing versatile allylic fluorides. However, regioselectivity control in this transformation remains challenging. Herein, we demonstrate a fluorine effect-induced regiospecific dehydroxyfluorination of 3,3-difluoroallyl alcohols using Olah's reagent under mild reaction conditions.

The high-fat content of hazelnuts, mainly triglycerides, makes them prone to lipid oxidation during storage, which has a big impact on their sensory and nutritional quality. The chemical pathways leading to hazelnut oxidative rancidity have been well characterized and are faster on free fatty acids. Lipase(s) enzymes are required in oilseeds to hydrolyse the ester bonds to free the single molecule of fatty acids.

Chiral N-heterocycles such as piperidines and tetrahydroisoquinolines are privileged structural motifs in drug discovery and pharmaceutical industry. The development of efficient and practical asymmetric synthetic methods towards pharmaceutically important chiral N-heterocycles constitutes an important subject in synthetic chemistry. Asymmetric synthesis of 2,3-cis-disubstituted piperidines bearing two consecutive chiral centers is particularly challenging in terms of both diastereoselective and enantioselective control.
