The repertoire of synthetic transformations of the products of the Achmatowicz rearrangement has been expanded by exploring their reactivity with potassium organotrifluoroborates in the absence of transition metals. Depending on the reaction conditions and the substitution pattern of the starting material, the reaction may lead to the stereoselective synthesis of dihydropyranones (2,6- trans), tetrahydropyranones (2,3- cis-2,6- cis) or functionalized 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds. The method has also been adapted for the one-pot synthesis of functionalized pyrroles.

Article Synopsis
- Biomass conversion into valuable compounds is a complex and under-explored area, with photocatalytic aerobic oxidation showing promise for transforming biomass chemicals into pharmaceutical precursors.* -
- This study successfully converts furfuryl alcohol into dihydropyranone acetyl using a molybdenum-incorporated covalent organic framework, achieving an impressive selectivity of 98% for a key compound necessary for anti-AIDS drug synthesis.* -
- The incorporation of molybdenum significantly boosts the photocatalytic process by enhancing charge transfer and generating superoxide anions, resulting in a 3.9 times increase in reaction rate, underscoring the effectiveness of the Mo clusters in facilitating these reactions.*

The batch processes of APIs/pharmaceutical synthesis are prone to suffer significant limitations, including longer process time, shortage of skilled manpower, laborious post-synthetic work-up, etc. To address the inherent limitations of batch processes, a novel approach was undertaken, resulting in the establishment and development of a visible light-assisted modular photo-flow reactor with a seamlessly integrated post-synthetic work-up procedure enabling the efficient synthesis of dihydropyranones from furfuryl alcohols. The reaction uses sun light as green energy source, and the novel photo-flow reactor platform developed with an integrated system enabling a downstream process in a time and labor-efficient manner which facilitates the Achmatowicz rearrangement, resulting in a fast (10 min) formation of the dihydropyranone products.

The unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) from (rUPO-PaDa-I-H) is an effective and practical biocatalyst for the oxidative expansion of furfuryl alcohols/amines on a preparative scale, using the Achmatowicz and aza-Achmatowicz reaction. The high activity and stability of the enzyme, which can be produced on a large scale as an air-stable lyophilised powder, renders it a versatile and scalable biocatalyst for the preparation of synthetically valuable 6-hydroxypyranones and dihydropiperidinones. In several cases, the biotransformation out-performed the analogous chemo-catalysed process, and operates under milder and greener reaction conditions.

Aspidosperma and uleine alkaloids belong to the large family of monoterpene indole alkaloids with diverse biological activities and thus have attracted extensive synthetic interest. Reported is the development of a new synthetic strategy that allows direct C3-C2' linkage of indoles with functionalized 2-hydroxypiperidines to construct the core common to all aspidoserma and uleine alkaloids. Such indole-piperidine linkage is enabled by coupling aza-Achmatowicz rearrangement (AAR) with indoles an intermolecular aza-Friedel-Crafts (iAFC) reaction.

A de novo asymmetric strategy for the synthesis of d-bradyrhizose diastereomers from an achiral ketoenolester precursor is described. Key transformations used in the stereodivergent approach include two Noyori asymmetric reductions, an Achmatowicz rearrangement, diastereoselective alkene oxidations, and the first example of a palladium(0)-catalyzed glycosylation of a vinylogous pyranone. The isomeric composition of the bicyclic reducing sugars obtained was analyzed and their behaviour was compared to the natural product, revealing key stereocentres that impact the overall distribution.
