The readily available N-Boc-protected delta-amino alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-keto ester 1 was diastereoselectively reduced to the corresponding alcohols 2 and 3, using boron- and aluminum-based reducing reagents. Reduction reactions were successful and resulted in anti/syn ratios of alcohols of >95:5 (80% yield), using LiAlH(O-t-Bu)(3) in EtOH at -78 degrees C under chelation control, and 5:95 (98% yield), using NB-Enantride in THF at -78 degrees C under Felkin-Anh control.

The direct C2-addition of 5-oxazol-4-ones to γ-keto-α,β-unsaturated esters catalyzed by a chiral squaramide has been achieved. Diverse highly functionalized γ-keto esters bearing a C2-oxazolone at the α-position were afforded in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities (d.r.

In this study, we report the total syntheses of -derived meroterpenoids, (-)-oregonensin A, (-)-chizhine E, (-)-applanatumol U, and (-)--fornicin A. The 3-alkyl-5-aryl-γ-butenolide skeleton, a common motif of these meroterpenoids, was constructed through the enantioselective reductive lactonization of the γ-keto ester, alkylation, and sulfoxide-β--elimination. This flexible approach enabled enantioselective access to these meroterpenoids with the longest linear sequence of 6-8 steps, and in 21-36% overall yield, respectively.

The ribosome is a macromolecular machine that catalyzes the sequence-defined polymerization of L-α-amino acids into polypeptides. The catalysis of peptide bond formation between amino acid substrates is based on entropy trapping, wherein the adjacency of transfer RNA (tRNA)-coupled acyl bonds in the P-site and the α-amino groups in the A-site aligns the substrates for coupling. The plasticity of this catalytic mechanism has been observed in both remnants of the evolution of the genetic code and modern efforts to reprogram the genetic code (e.

A visible-light-induced dehydrogenative/decarboxylative coupling reaction of arylglycine derivatives and β-keto acids is described. This photocatalyst- and additive-free protocol can be applied in the efficient synthesis of γ-keto glycine derivatives under ambient conditions. Further uses of this methodology and a plausible mechanism are also demonstrated.

A highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of a series of γ-keto acid derivatives, including γ-keto acids, esters, and amides, using a Ni-(,)-QuinoxP* complex as the catalyst has been developed to afford chiral γ-hydroxy acid derivatives with excellent enantioselectivities, up to 99.9% ee. This method provides not only an economical one-pot approach for the synthesis of chiral γ-lactones but also access to ()-norfluoxetine, an inhibitor of neural serotonin reuptake and an essential intermediate for pharmaceutical synthesis.
