The diene methyl ethers or acetates, constructed from the Li-Br exchange/addition reactions of 2-vinylbenzaldehydes and 2-(but-3-en-1-yl)bromoarenes followed by etherification or acetylation of the corresponding alcohols, smoothly underwent the ring-closi

Most functionalizations of C-H bonds by main-group reagents occur at aryl or methyl groups. We describe a highly regioselective borylation of secondary benzylic C-H bonds catalyzed by an iridium precursor and 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1, 10-phenanthroline as the ligand. The reaction is directed to the benzylic position by a hydrosilyl substituent. This hydrosilyl directing group is readily deprotected or transformed to other functional groups after the borylation reaction, providing access to a diverse set of secondary benzylboronate esters by C-H borylation chemistry.
Synthesis of (-)-astrogorgiadiol

Reaction of Rh2(S)-PTPA4 with the (R)-citronellol-derived α-diazo-β-ketoester 1 led to the formation of cyclic β-ketoester 2 in 95% yield and 48% diastereomeric excess. The purity of 2 was increased to >99% de after one crystallization. To demonstrate its utility in steroid total synthesis, the β-ketoester 2 was carried on to secosteroid (-)-astrogorgiadiol (3), a naturally occuring vitamin D analogue with antiproliferative properties.
