[reaction: see text] Complex 1 bearing a diphosphinidenecyclobutene ligand (DPCB-OMe) catalyzes highly stereoselective hydrosilylation of diethynylarenes with HSiMe2Ph to afford (Z,Z)-bis(2-silylethenyl)arenes. Treatment of the hydrosilylation products with N-bromosuccinimide causes bromodesilylation in a stereospecific manner, giving (Z,Z)-bis(2-bromoethenyl)arenes in high geometrical purity (>98%).

Hydroalkylation of terminal alkynes is a powerful approach to the synthesis of disubstituted alkenes. However, its application is largely unexplored in the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls, which are common among synthetic intermediates and biologically active molecules. The thermodynamically less stable -isomers of activated alkenes have been particularly challenging to access because of their propensity for isomerization and the paucity of reliable -selective hydroalkylation methods.

An efficient Mn(III)-promoted phosphorylation of dehydroalanine (Dha) has been developed to give unusual α-amino acids bearing phosphonates/phosphine oxides and β-vinyl phosphonates/phosphinates depending on N-protection of amino acid. N,N-diprotected dehydroalanine reacted with H-phosphonates and H-phosphine oxides to give structurally diverse phosphorylated α-amino acids through conjugate addition of phosphorous radical generated by Mn(OAc).2HO.

A stereo- and regioselective Mn(I)-catalyzed hydroboration of terminal alkynes with pinacolborane (HBPin) is described. The hydroboration reaction is highly -selective in the case of aryl alkynes and -selective in the case of aliphatic alkynes. The reaction requires no additives or solvents and proceeds with a catalyst loading of 1 mol % at 50-70 °C.

Metal-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate arylations of electron-poor alkenes are highly selective processes for C(sp)-C(sp) bond formation. δ-Selective hydroarylations of electron-poor 1,3-dienes are less well developed and reactions that deliver high enantioselectivity while giving single alkene isomer products are elusive. Here we report the Rh-catalyzed δ-arylation of aryl-substituted 1,3-dienes that gives nearly exclusive Z-1,4-addition products (generally with >95 : 5 positional and geometrical selectivity).

In this paper are presented the results of the preliminary studies conducted on two model substrates that allowed the testing of various strategies and set the proper conditions that thereafter culminated in the synthesis of the C1-C23 chain of enacyloxin-IIa and its congeners. Innovative strategic options were explored on each model allowing the stereochemical control of the following two elements: (a) the 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 chlorinated undecapentaenoic chain, thanks to -selective Kaneda's alkyne allylchlorination and an -selective Pd/Cu allene-alkyne coupling and (b) the unusual - -OH/-Cl/-OCONH 17-19 triad, thanks to a highly diastereoselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction.
