Although Ito–Saegusa oxidation gives defined α,β-unsaturated ketones from silyl enol ether of ketones controlled by the position of the sp2 carbon of the silyl enol ether, the formation of a regioisomeric product that was oxidized abnormally was observed. The structural requirements for the substrates, the conditions, and a plausible mechanism are presented.

Abstract
A new continuous-flow system for CH borylation has been developed. An insoluble catalyst prepared from chloro(1,5-cyclooctadien)iridium(I) dimer and 2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid in the presence of bis(pinacolato)diboron exhibited high reactivity under continuous-flow processing without the loss of expensive iridium metal.

The γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor bears important sites of action for insecticides. Alantrypinone is an insecticidal alkaloid that acts as a selective antagonist for housefly (vs rat) GABA receptors, and is considered to be a lead compound for the development of a safer insecticide. In an attempt to obtain compounds with greater activity, a series of racemic alantrypinone derivatives were systematically synthesized using hetero Diels–Alder reactions, and a total of 34 compounds were examined for their ability to inhibit the specific binding of [3H]4′-ethynyl-4-n-propylbicycloorthobenzoate, a high-affinity non-competitive antagonist, to housefly-head membranes. The assay results showed that (1) there is no significant difference between the potencies of natural (+)-alantrypinone and its synthetic racemate; (2) the amide NHs at the 2- and 18-positions are important for high activity; (3) there is a considerable drop in potency for compounds without an aromatic ring at the 16-position; and (4) a large substituent at the 3-position is detrimental to high activity.

We have developed a method for preparing a recyclable and environmentally benign organopalladium catalyst for the Heck reaction supported on sulfur-terminated gallium arsenide(001). This three-component catalyst, {Pd}-S-GaAs(001), exhibited high stability and activity, furthermore, it tolerated reuse in 10 runs of the Heck reaction (average yield, 97 %) under aerobic conditions. The sulfur layer was very important to stabilize this catalyst. Only trace amounts of Pd were leached from this catalyst to the reaction mixture, as measured by ICP-mass. The valence of immobilized Pd was zero by XPS spectrometry.

Angustureine, isolated from the bark of Galipea officinalis Hancock, is a novel quinoline alkaloid with a n-pentyl side chain at the 2-position. The total synthesis of (+)-(S)-angustureine and a determination of the absolute configuration of the natural product angustureine were achieved using ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and the Mitsunobu reaction as key steps.The total synthesis of (+)-(S)-angustureine and a determination of the absolute configuration of the natural product angustureine were achieved using ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and the Mitsunobu reaction as key steps.N-Methyl-2-n-pentyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolineC15H23NEe = 94%[α]D23=+7.9 (c 1.00, CHCl3)Source of chirality: asymmetric synthesisAbsolute configuration: (S)2-n-Pentyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolineC14H21N[α]D23=-11.5 (c 1.00, CHCl3)Source of chirality: asymmetric synthesisAbsolute configuration: (S)N-p-Toluenesulfonyl-2-n-pentyl-1,2-dihydroquinolineC21H26NO2S[α]D23=-4.6 (c 1.00, CHCl3)Source of chirality: asymmetric synthesisAbsolute configuration: (S)N-(l-Pentyl-allyl)-N-p-toluenesulfonyl-2-ethynylanilineC23H30NO2S[α]D23=-36.6 (c 1.00, CHCl3)Source of chirality: asymmetric synthesisAbsolute configuration: (S)N-p-Toluenesulfonyl-2-n-pentyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolineC21H28NO2SEe = 99%[α]D23=-121.4 (c 1.00, CHCl3)Source of chirality: asymmetric synthesisAbsolute configuration: (S)

A key intermediate in the first asymmetric synthesis of the marine alkaloid (−)-nakadomarin A (1), isolated from the marine sponge Amphimedon sp., was the optically active hydroisoquinoline 2. Two separate ring-closing-metathesis reactions were crucial to the construction of the 15- and 8-membered rings.

A ruthenium complex, generated from the Grubbs carbene catalyst with vinyloxytrimethylsilane, catalyzed the isomerization of terminal alkenes RCH2CHCH2 to internal alkenes RCHCHCH3. Application of this olefin isomerization to 2-(N-allylamino)styrene gave the corresponding enamines, which were converted into indoles by a standard ring-closing metathesis, see scheme (Ts=tosyl).
