A Brønsted acid-catalyzed asymmetric Nazarov cyclization of acyclic α-alkoxy dienones has been developed. The reaction offers access to chiral cyclopentenones in a highly enantioselective manner. The reaction is complementary to our previously reported Brønsted acid-catalyzed electrocyclization reactions, which provided differently

The title natural product, 1, has been synthesized in 20 steps from the enantiomerically pure cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 2, itself obtained through the whole-cell biotransformation of toluene. The pivotal steps in the reaction sequence involve a Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction between diene 2

Palladium-phosphinous acids catalyze the conjugate addition of arylsiloxanes to a wide range of alpha,beta-unsaturated substrates in water. A microwave-assisted procedure is described that uses 5 mol % of POPd1 to afford beta-substituted ketones, aldehydes, esters, nitriles, and nitroalkanes in 83%

1,2,3,4-Tetramethyl-bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (TMNBD, for tetramethylnorbornadiene) has been prepared and used successfully as an acetylene equivalent in the synthesis of substituted cyclopentenones. TMNBD is easily accessible on a multigram scale and displays excellent reactivity toward the intermolecular Pauson-Khand reaction. Conjugate additions on
