The base-promoted isomerization of benzyl oxiranyl ethers was investigated. In particular it was shown that the reaction may proceed toward two main regioisomeric products: a benzyl vinyl ether or a 2-aryl-3-(hydroxyalkyl)oxetane, depending on subtle variations in the substitution on the phenyl ring. Disubstituted oxetanes were obtained in a stereoselective manner, thus providing a good entry to this class of synthetically useful compounds.

Nucleoside analogues have seen significant advancements in treating viral infections and cancer through ProTide technology, leading to a series of FDA-approved drugs such as sofosbuvir, tenofovir alafenamide, and remdesivir. The stereochemical configuration at the phosphorus center of ProTides significantly influences their pharmacological properties, necessitating efficient stereoselective synthesis. Traditional methods using chiral auxiliaries or nonracemic phosphorylating agents are labor-intensive and inefficient, while recent organocatalytic approaches, despite their promise, still face limitations.

Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-substituted α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of chiral α-substituted secondary alcohols with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >99 : 1 dr, 98% ee). Mechanistic experiments suggest that the reaction proceeds a Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of the CO bond in concert with a base-promoted allylic alcohol isomerization, and the final stereoselectivities were controlled by a DKR process during the asymmetric hydrogenation of the ketone intermediate.

Base-promoted (MeONa in MeOH or imidazole in DMF) isomerization of a series of 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-d-gluco- and d-mannopyranose derivatives with triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) substituents was studied. The presence of a bulky TIPS group at O-1 or O-2 was shown to be favorable for the isomerization of benzyl protected d-gluco- and d-mannopyranose derivatives to d-fructofuranose derivatives, in which the bulky silyl group occupies less sterically hindered primary position. The highest yield (33%) of the fructofuranose derivative was achieved when 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-O-triisopropylsilyl-d-mannopyranose was treated with MeONa in MeON at 50 °C.

Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on creating new organic reactions that are efficient in atom economy and highly selective, particularly using propargylamines as a key component.
- Successful palladium-catalyzed and base-promoted reactions lead to the formation of functionalized quinoline heterocycles and diverse 1-azadienes, achieving high yields (up to 93%) and good tolerance for various functional groups.
- The resulting compounds from these reactions are valuable and can be easily transformed into other useful materials, demonstrating the effectiveness of these selective reactions.

We report a BuOK-promoted synthesis of 1,3-dihydro-2-pyrrol-2-one and 4-methylenepyrrolidin-2-one systems like intramolecular cyclization. The method features extremely short reaction times (5 min) and mild reaction conditions (rt), enabling the trapping of a propargyl unit by an amide enolate. An intriguing anionic chain mechanism is at work, which can trigger the isomerization of an -alkene giving access to the otherwise elusive -product.
