A straightforward synthesis of (S)-3-methylphthalides has been developed, with the key asymmetric step being the bioreduction of 2-acetylbenzonitriles. Enzymatic processes have been found to be highly dependent on the pH value, with acidic conditions being required to avoid undesired side
Tsz-Ying Yuen et al.
Organic letters, 14(19), 5154-5157 (2012-09-29)
A highly convergent total synthesis of 7',8'-dihydroaigialospirol is described. Key steps of the synthesis include a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) coupling of an iodoalkyne with an advanced phthalide-aldehyde and a remarkable one-pot acid-mediated global deprotection/spiroacetalization.

The Journal of organic chemistry, 75(17), 6043-6045 (2010-08-28)
A palladium-catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to phthalaldehyde, followed by an intramolecular lactonization to access 3-substituted phthalides, is described. The procedure tolerates a series of functional groups, such as methoxyl, fluoro, chloro, and trifluoromethyl groups. It represents a procedure for

A cobalt-catalyzed addition of aryl- and alkenylboronic acids to aldehydes and phthalaldehyde to give the corresponding biarylketones and 3-aryl phthalides in good to excellent yields in one pot is described.

Organic & biomolecular chemistry, 10(18), 3655-3661 (2012-04-13)
The asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of o-cyano cinnamates and styrene derivatives leads to efficient construction of chiral phthalide frameworks in high optical purities. This unique reaction is characterized by unusual synergism between CN and osmate groups resulting in rate enhancement of
