A synthetic route to trans-configured tetrahydrothiophenes (THTs) through Fe(OTf) -promoted [3+2] cycloaddition of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with thionoesters was developed. The cycloaddition proceeded in high yield with high diastereoselectivity, affording transient α-alkoxy THTs. Not only aromatic and aliphatic thionoesters, but also thionolactone were applicable to the present iron catalysis. Further transformation of the S,O-ketal functionality of the product was achieved in a highly trans diastereoselective manner. Moreover, the utility of our methodology was clearly demonstrated by the synthesis of enantioenriched trans-configured THTs.

The present study investigates the in vitro phase I metabolism of cis-zearalenone (cis-ZEN) in rat liver microsomes and human liver microsomes. cis-ZEN is an often ignored isomer of the trans-configured Fusarium mycotoxin zearalenone (trans-ZEN). Upon the influence of (UV-) light, trans-ZEN isomerizes to cis-ZEN.
