Novel thiophenophan-1-enes, which are composed of a dithienylethene unit and a chiral bridge, were synthesized and obtained as optically-active single diastereomers. Upon UV irradiation, the open-form isomers afforded single diastereomers of the closed form in 100% diastereo-excess, indicating that this system undergoes a fully diastereospecific photochromic reaction.

Diastereospecific nazarov cyclization of fully substituted dienones: generation of vicinal all-carbon-atom quaternary stereocenters.

No vacancy: Fully substituted dienones that are highly polarized by a vinylogous carbonate group were found to undergo a remarkably rapid and diastereospecific Nazarov cyclization that led to cyclopentenones with vicinal all-carbon-atom quaternary centers (see example; SEM=2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl, Tf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl).

Article Synopsis
- A new type of geminal dianion was created, featuring both a phosphine oxide and a phosphine sulfide group.
- The dianion reacted with Ru(II), resulting in a highly reactive carbene complex that underwent C-H activation, forming a kinetic orthometalated Ru(II) complex.
- Further thermal reversibility led to a second C-H insertion, creating a thermodynamic Ru(II) complex in a specific diastereospecific manner, with DFT calculations confirming the experimental observations.

Two free-radical cyclization reactions with the radical at the chiral C4 of the pentose sugar and the intramolecularly C1-tethered olefin (on radical precursors 8 and 17) gave a new diastereospecific C4-C8 bond in dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane 9, whereas the new C4-C7 bond in 7-methyl-2-oxabicyclo[2.

Thiophenophan-1-enes with chiral polyether bridges were prepared and their diastereospecific photochromic reactions were studied. The coupling reaction of substituted dithienylethenes and various chiral synthons afforded thiophenophan-1-enes, namely, bridged dithienylethenes, as single enantiomers without optical resolution, thus indicating that these reactions occurred diastereoselectively. Upon UV irradiation, each optically active thiophenophan-1-ene isomerized to the corresponding enantiomer of the closed form and returned to the initial enantiomer of the open form upon visible irradiation.
