An new overall lower energy pathway for the amine-catalysed Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction is proposed from computations at the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level. The pathway involves proton-transfer from the ammonium ion to the alkoxide formed from the aldol reaction through a seven-membered ring transition state (TS) structure followed by highly exothermic Hofmann<i> </i>elimination through a five-membered ring TS structure to form the product and also release the catalyst to carry on with the process all over again.

Elemental Iodine

A series of cationic monodentate and bidentate iodo(benz)­imidazolium-based halogen bond (XB) donors were employed as catalysts in a Mukaiyama aldol reaction. While 5 mol% of a monodentate variant showed noticeable activity, a <i>syn</i>-preorganized bidentate XB donor provided a strong performance even with 0.5 mol% loading. In contrast to the very active BAr<sup>F</sup><sub>4</sub> salts, PF<sub>6</sub> or OTf salts were either inactive or showed background reaction. Repetition experiments clearly ruled out a potential hidden catalysis by elemental iodine and demonstrated the stability of our catalyst over three consecutive cycles.

The C19–C30 bis-THF fragment of the proposed structure of iriomoteolide-13a has been synthesized. The w-mesyloxy-substituted stereotetrad possessing three continuous hydroxy groups was generated by <i>anti</i>-aldol reaction and asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD). Upon heating in pyridine the stereotetrad underwent an S<sub>N</sub>2 cyclization to form the C19–C22 THF ring. It was followed by an intramolecular <i>syn</i>-oxypalladation of the C28 chiral allylic alcohol to give the C23–C26 THF ring.

A concise route to the common polyketide fragment5of crocacin A-D (1-4) is presented which has previously been converted into all members of this fungicidal and cytotoxic family of dipeptidic natural products by various means. Our synthesis features asyn-selective titanium aldol reaction controlled by a valinol-derived auxiliary, a zinc-mediated, palladium-catalyzedanti-selective addition of propargyl mesylate10to the chiral aldehyde9, as well as a comparison of palladium-catalyzed Stille and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions for the formation of the diene moiety of the target.
