Total Synthesis of 7-epi-Pukalide and 7-Acetylsinumaximol B
McAulay, Kirsten,Clark, J. Stephen
, p. 9761 - 9765 (2017)
Convergent total syntheses of the furanocembranoids 7-epi-pukalide and 7-acetylsinumaximol B have been achieved using a one-pot Knoevenagel condensation and thioether-mediated furan-forming reaction. Furan formation proceeds via a sulfur ylide and results
Bimetallic Radical Redox-Relay Catalysis for the Isomerization of Epoxides to Allylic Alcohols

Organic radicals are generally short-lived intermediates with exceptionally high reactivity. Strategically, achieving synthetically useful transformations mediated by organic radicals requires both efficient initiation and selective termination events. Here, we report a new catalytic strategy, namely, bimetallic radical redox-relay, in the regio- and stereoselective rearrangement of epoxides to allylic alcohols. This approach exploits the rich redox chemistry of Ti and Co complexes and merges reductive epoxide ring opening (initiation) with hydrogen atom transfer (termination). Critically, upon effecting key bond-forming and -breaking events, Ti and Co catalysts undergo proton transfer/electron transfer with one another to achieve turnover, thus constituting a truly synergistic dual catalytic system.
