Forrest E. Michael of the University of Washington described (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 1147) the Pd-catalyzed aminative cyclization of 1 to the differentially-protected diamine 3. Peter Somfai of KTH Chemical Science and Engineering observed (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 919) that [1,2]-rearrangement of 4 proceeded to deliver 5 with near-perfect maintenance of enantiomeric excess. Tushar Kanti Chakraborty of the Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow applied (Tetrahedron Lett. 2009, 50, 3306) the Ti(III) reduction of epoxides to the Sharpless-derived ether 6, leading to the pyrrolidine 7. Chun-Jiang Wang of Wuhan University devised (Chem. Commun. 2009, 2905) a silver catalyst that directed the absolute sense of the dipolar addition of 9 to 8 to give 10. Homoallyic azides such as 11 are readily prepared in high enantiomeric excess from the corresponding alcohol. Bernhard Breit of Albert-Ludwigs-Universität, Freiburg and André Mann of the Faculté de Pharmacie, Illkirch showed (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 261) that Rh-mediated hydroformylation could be effected in the presence of the azide. Subsequent reduction delivered the piperidine 12. Jan-E. Bäckvall of Stockholm University applied (J. Org. Chem. 2009, 74, 1988) the protocol for dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) that he had developed to the cyanodiol 13. Remarkably, a single enantiomerically- pure diasteromer emerged, which he carried on to 14. Xiaodong Shi of West Virginia University found (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 2333) that the stereogenic center of 17, even though it ended up outside the ring, directed the absolute configuration of the other centers of 18 as they formed. Jan Vesely of Charles University and Albert Moyano and Ramon Rios of the Universitat de Barcelona established (Tetrahedron Lett. 2009, 50, 1943) that an organocatayst directed the absolute configuration in the addition of 19 to 20 to give 21. Osamu Tamura of Showa Pharmaceutical University effected (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 1179) cyclization of the malic acid-derived amide 22 to give 23 with high diastereocontrol.

The reported enantioselective synthesis for the preparation of (+)-(2R,3R)-2-(4- hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzodioxane-6-carbaldehyde, precursor for the stereoselective synthesis of bioactive flavanolignans, could not be reproduced. Thus, the target molecule was prepared via the synthesis and separation of diastereomeric O-glucosides. TDDFT-ECD calculations and the 1,4-benzodioxane helicity rule were utilized to determine the absolute configuration. ECD calculations also confirmed that the 1Lb Cotton effect is governed by the helicity of the heteroring, while the higher-energy ECD transitions reflect mainly the orientation of the equatorial C-2 aryl group.

Derivatives of 21-nor-5α-cholane-20,24-diol XI and XIX were prepared by stepwise construction of the side-chain in the position 17β. Their absolute configuration at C(20) was determined on the basis of chemical correlation with the derivatives of 21-nor-5α-cholan-20-ol, XVI and XXIV. The absolute configuration of alcohols XVI and XXIV was determined from the ratio of the yields in which they are formed during the reduction of ketone X and using the benzoate rule. To compounds XI-XVIII the configuration 20R and to compounds XIX-XXVI the configuration 20S has been assigned.

The 8aR absolute stereochemistry of Wieland-Miescher ketone (-)-I was established by the X-ray structure analysis of its bis(4-bromobenzoate) derivatives (1R,6R,8aR)-(+)-IV and (1R,6S,8aR)-(-)-V. The absolute configuration of (-)-I was corroborated further by the application of the CD exciton chirality method to bis(4-bromobenzoates) (+)-IV and (-)-V.
