Fused cyclobutanes are found in a range of natural products and formation of these motifs in a straightforward and easy manner represents an interesting synthetic challenge. To this end we investigated an intramolecular variant of the thermal enamine [2 + 2] cyclisation, developing a diastereoselective intramolecular enamine [2 + 2] cyclisation furnishing δ lactone and lactam fused cyclobutenes in good yield and excellent diastereoselectivity.
Rational synthesis of contra-thermodynamic spiroacetals by reductive cyclizations

A synthesis of spiroacetals was developed using a reductive cyclization strategy that leads stereoselectively to spiroacetals with a single anomeric stabilization. The method begins with the synthesis of spiro ortho esters. The ortho ester is converted to a cyano acetal. Reductive lithiation of the cyano acetal generates an axial dialkoxylithium reagent, and intramolecular cyclization produces a new ring with retention of configuration. The strategy is convergent and produces complex spiro acetals in only a few steps. The method will be useful in the synthesis of natural products and will facilitate the synthesis of previously inaccessible contra-thermodynamic acetals. Copyright
A Difference CD Method for Determining Absolute Stereochemistry of Acyclic 1,2,4-Triols

A general method based on difference circular dichroic (DIF CD) spectroscopy for assigning the absolute configuration of 1,2,4-triol is presented.Four possible stereoisomers of 6-heptene-1,2,4-triol were prepared and served as models to develop the procedure.The sign of the DIF CD Cotton effect is correlated to the absolute configuration of the C2 position.
