- which point an olefination with the Tebbe reagent and the addition of methanol afforded the cyclic ketal as a separable mixture of the diastereomers 68 and 69 (≈4.5:1 ratio). The desilylation of 68 gave the 2° alcohol, which after oxidation and Tebbe olefination afforded the exocyclic olefin 70. The
- exocyclic epoxide prior to the formation of the C-6–C-9 conjugated diene was necessary in order to avoid the unwanted epoxidation of the C-6–C-7 olefin. Koide employed a unique strategy in which the exocyclic epoxide was generated as the initial stereocenter (Scheme 15) [12][13]. The Sharpless asymmetric
- iodine-catalyzed Mukiyama–Michael addition of the ketene silyl acetal 104 to 103 afforded the trans-1,5-disubstituted tetrahydropyranone 105. After the generation of the C-3-exocyclic olefin and functional group manipulation, the Takai olefination [40] of the aldehyde 106 gave the trans-vinyl iodide 107

- T3P® [17], yielded olefin 15 in 93% yield as a 94:5 mixture of stereoisomers – presumably E/Z, although this is not conclusive from the 1H NMR spectrum. Based on LC–MS and 1H NMR spectroscopy observations, it is believed that aldehyde 5 exists predominantly as the corresponding hydrate and an excess
- . This represents a 64% overall yield which was increased to 68% when no column chromatography was undertaken between transformations, with no loss of purity (Scheme 5). Olefin reduction and Cbz deprotection could not be performed simultaneously by palladium-catalysed hydrogenation as this resulted in
- achiral aldehydes (azetidine cores 25 and 27). Furthermore, key to success of the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination was premixing of the aldehyde and phosphonate 7 prior to the addition of KOt-Bu. Upon deprotonation, phosphonate 7 (in the absence of aldehyde) underwent dimerisation to olefin 28. While

They have increasingly been proven useful in various types of organic photoreactions, such as cyclizations, anti-Markovnikov additions, aromatic olefin carbonylations, isomerizations, etc. They are a class of green, economic
- , monosubstituted and 1,1-disubstituted arylolefins could be effectively cleaved into the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. The proposed mechanism is that disulfide is split by visible light to form thiyl radicals, which catalyzes the combination of the olefin with O2 to form the intermediate dioxetane that
- decomposes into ketone or aldehyde products (Scheme 9). However, in the absence of light or oxygen, disulfide could not catalyze the oxidative cleavage of olefins. It was proposed that disulfide and the olefin might be able to form a charge-transfer complex, which may rationalize the unconventional homolysis

- that aldehydes can transfer their triplet state energy to an acceptor, inducing changes in the reactivity of the acceptor. Accordingly, the aldehyde can react with the higher-energy-state olefin via a Paterno–Büchi reaction, indicating that benzaldehyde (8) can have an EnT ability comparable to that of
- proved to transfer the triplet state energy more efficiently than benzaldehyde (8). Furthermore, the triplet state of the carbonyl compound was thought to be the intermediate for both the Paterno–Büchi oxetane formation and the olefin isomerization. Two possible mechanistic pathways for the Paterno–Büchi
- reaction were described. The first one included an attack on the π-system of the olefin by the oxygen atom of the excited carbonyl compound, forming a biradical intermediate 72. Then, the biradical intermediate 72 could either cyclize to produce an oxetane 73 or dissociate to form again the carbonyl
