This method is particularly effective with cyclic substrates, and the combined effects of intramolecular and intermolecular asymmetric induction give up to 76 1 (kf/ks) differentiation between enantiomers of a cyclic allylic alcohol. This kinetic resolution provides a practical method to resolve 4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenone, a readily available but sensitive compound. Hydrogenation of the racemic compound at 4 atm H2 proceeds with kf/ks =11, and, at 68% conversion, gives the slow-reacting R enantiomer in 98% ee. The alcoholic product is readily convertible to its crystalline, enantiomerically pure fert-butyldimethylsilyl ether, an important building block in the three-component coupling synthesis of prostaglandins (67). 

Scheme 3 illustrates retrosynthetic analysis of the E and F series of PGs. The widely used Corey synthesis (2) takes notice of the presence of the two olefinic bonds in the side chains of PGF2a. The actual synthesis consists of a two-fold Wittig-type chain extension of a chiral dialdehyde equivalent with four defined stereogenic centers derived from cyclopentadiene via a series of bicyclic intermediates. A similar sequential synthesis has been developed at Upjohn Co. (la). These chemical syntheses are much more economical than enzymatic methods and are used for commercial synthesis of certain PGs. An alternative pathway pioneered by Sih is the conjugate addition approach (3). Nucleophilic addition of an E-olefinic co side-chain unit to a cyclopentenone in which the a side chain is already installed leads directly to PGE-type compounds. Untch and Stork used an co chain unit with a Z-olefinic bond (4). The most direct and flexible synthesis is the convergent three-component coupling synthesis via consecutive linking of the two side chains to unsubstituted 4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenone derivatives (5, 6). 

As outlined in Scheme 4, the ultimate goal of the three-component coupling synthesis is the organometallic-aided conjugate addition of an cj side-chain unit to an 0-protected (J )-4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenone, followed by electrophilic trapping of the enolate intermediate by an oc... 

SCHEME 4. Problem in the three-component coupling synthesis. 

In this context, a chiral hydride reagent, BINAL-H, prepared by modification of lithium aluminum hydride with equimolar amounts of optically pure binaphthol and a simple alcohol, is extremely useful (9b, 18a, 35) Scheme 15 shows the utility of the three-component coupling synthesis. The < > side-chain unit and the hydroxycyclopentenone can be prepared with very high enantioselectivity by reduction of the corresponding enone precursors (35-38).

Although Si—N—B—O materials containing trace amounts of nitrogen (2-3 wt%) have been prepared solely via a processing approach (ammonolysis of a borosilicate gel), complete conversion to Si—N—B was not achieved86. However, there are several literature examples of routes to Si—N—B materials that couple synthesis with a specific processing approach. These include early work on Si—N—B precursors by Seyferth and Plenio, who reacted the now ubiquitous — [MeHSiNH] — polysilazane with H3B SMe287 as shown in equation 26.

As for the biaryl ether containing macrocycles, an array of bioactive macrocycles with an endo aryl-aryl bond exist in nature. A new palladium catalyzed reaction has been recently developed in which bis(pinacolato)diborane(4) mediated the process to reach such a structural motif. The reaction consists of a domino process involving a Miyaura s arylboronic ester synthesis and an intramolecular Suzuki-coupling. Synthesis of a bicyclic A-B-O-C ring system of RP-66453 273, a neurotensine receptor antagonist, with an endo aryl-aryl and an endo aryl-aryl ether bond was described (Scheme 53).141...
