Stereochemistry of the tetrabutylammonium cyanide-catalyzed cyanosylilation of cyclic α,β-epoxyketones - Dependence of the diastereoselectivity on the ring size

The diastereoselective Bu4NCN-catalyzed addition of TMSCN to cyclic α,β-epoxyketones has been considered. Good diastereoselectivities were found, depending on the ring size of the starting material. Computational studies account for the observed diastereoselectivities. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2006.

Total synthesis of coriandrin and 7-demethylcoriandrin via a new synthesis of isocoumarins

Indenone epoxides 8, prepared from the corresponding indenones, have been shown to undergo clean thermal rearrangement to give isocoumarins 10 in high yields. This synthesis of isocoumarins, when applied to oxaindace-none 7, resulted in the total synthesis of coriandrin (1). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
