Direct 1,4-addition of aldehydes to vinylketones

Aldehydes directly add in 1,4-manner to vinylketones in the presence of 0.5 eq. of diethylaminotrimethylsilane without a solvent to give 5- ketoaldehydes.

Diethylamino(trimethyl)silane-mediated direct 1,4-addition of naked aldehydes to electron-deficient olefins

Diethylamino(trimethyl)silane-mediated direct 1,4-addition of naked aldehydes to electron-deficient olefins was discussed. Results showed that after the reaction the latent formyl groups were transformed back to aldehydes. Conjugated addition of aldehydes to electron-deficient olefins showed no successful precedents of direct 1,4-addition of naked aldehydes.

Stereoselective and Modular Assembly Method for Heterocycle-Fused Daucane Sesquiterpenoids

A stereoselective synthetic method is reported for the molecular framework found in common daucane and isodaucane sesquiterpenoid natural products. The synthetic method constitutes a scalable, modular, and also asymmetric access to a complex natural product scaffold, wherein the substitution pattern and the stereochemistry can be adjusted simply by choosing different starting materials. The method allows the rapid introduction of diverse heterocyclic substructures such as (benzo)furans, (benzo)thiophenes, dithiins, thiazoles, and indoles, which actually also facilitate and direct the key intramolecular annulation step.
