, p. 3849 - 3851 (2005)
(Chemical Equation Presented) The intramolecular Morita-Baylis Hillman (MBH) reaction has been achieved with unprecedented levels of enantioselectivity. Using a cocatalyst system involving pipecolinic acid and N-methylimidazole, cyclic MBH products have b

Photoredox catalytic cyclization of aryl enones in the presence of visible light, promoted either by metals or organic dyes, represent a valuable strategy for the synthesis of cycloalkanes. The development of a stereoselective version of such transformation, in the presence of the metal-free catalyst Eosin Y was studied, with the aim to realize an efficient protocol for the in-flow synthesis of enantiomerically enriched functionalized cyclopentane rings, taking advantage of the flow reactors technology. The use of a chiral auxiliary on the bisenone to be cyclized offers a straightforward and convenient option to exert a stereocontrol on the light-driven cyclization. By exploiting Evans’ oxazolidinones, the stereoselective light-driven cyclization affords, after the removal of the chiral auxiliary, a functionalized 1,2-trans cyclopentane ring in up to 83/17 enantiomeric ratio. When the reaction was performed in continuo, in a homemade coil photoreactor, high yields were observed. The cyclization was also successfully realized in a 3D-printed mesoreactor, without any change in the diastereoseletctivity of the process.
Intramolecular Tandem Seleno-Michael/Aldol Reaction: A Simple Route to Hydroxy Cyclo-1-ene-1-carboxylate Esters

Intramolecular tandem seleno-Michael/aldol reaction followed by an oxidation-elimination process can be an efficient tool for the construction of hydroxy cyclo-1-ene-1-carboxylate esters from oxo-α,β-unsaturated esters. Generation of lithium selenolate from elemental selenium and n-BuLi provides a simple and efficient one-pot access to cyclic endo-Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts.
