This Perspective describes the discovery and development of silyl glyoxylates, a new family of conjunctive reagents for use in multicomponent coupling reactions. The selection of the nucleophilic and electrophilic components determines whether the silyl glyoxylate reagent will function as a synthetic equivalent to the dipolar glycolic acid synthon, the glyoxylate anion synthon, or the α-keto ester homoenolate synthon. The ability to select for any of these reaction modes has translated to excellent structural diversity in the derived three- and four-component coupling adducts. Preliminary findings on the development of catalytic reactions using these reagents are detailed, as are the design and discovery of new reactions directed toward particular functional group arrays embedded within bioactive natural products.

Fermented beverages, particularly wines, exhibit variable concentrations of organic and phenolic acids, posing challenges in their accurate determination. Traditionally, enzymatic methods or chromatographic analyses, mainly high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), have been employed to quantify these compounds individually in the grape must or wine. However, chromatographic analyses face limitations due to the high sugar content in the grape must.

(Diene)Rh(I) complexes catalyze the stereoselective three-component coupling of silyl glyoxylates, arylboronic acids, and aldehydes to give glycolate aldol products. The participation of Rh-alkoxides in the requisite Brook rearrangement was established through two component Rh-catalyzed couplings of silyl glyoxylates with ArB(OH) to give silyl-protected mandelate derivatives. The intermediacy of a chiral Rh-enolate was inferred through enantioselective protonation using a chiral Rh-catalyst.

A novel approach to an A-ring synthon for Pd-catalyzed synthesis of 1α-hydroxylated vitamin D metabolites is described. Key step is an asymmetric glyoxylate ene reaction to access a highly diastereomerically pure α-hydroxy ester. Subsequent stereospecific transformation to an anti-1,3-diol and appropriate chemical modifications at both ends of the acyclic precursor leads to a diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure silylated anti-1,3-diol enyne, serving as a versatile A-ring synthon for its use in vitamin D synthesis.

A chiral Lewis acid-catalyzed enantioselective addition of thiols to silyl glyoxylates was developed. The reaction proceeds well with a broad range of thiols and acylsilanes, affording the target tertiary chiral α-silyl-α-sulfydryl alcohols with multi-hetero-atom carbon stereocenters in excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). A series of control experiments were conducted to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

A novel hydrogen-bond-assisted sequential reaction of silyl glyoxylates is described. This method provides an efficient strategy for the synthesis of silyl enol ethers with high selectivity. In these transformations, hydrogen bonds from 2-nitroethanol and its derivatives are critical to the stereochemical outcome.
