Abstract
Rhenium-catalyzed stereoselective transposition of allylic alcohols is reported. In the presence of 1 mol% of Re2O7, (E)- or (Z)-δ-hydroxymethyl-anti-homoallylic alcohols were converted into the acetals of 2-methyl-1,3-syn-diols with excellent diastereoselectivities. 1,3-syn-Diol acetals can also be synthesized from (E)-δ-hydroxymethyl-syn-homoallylic alcohols.

Abstract
The Prins reaction is a very convenient synthetic platform for the preparation of oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds, especially tetrahydropyrans and tetrahydrofurans. While this reaction has been extensively used by synthetic chemists since its discovery, the last years have witnessed impressive improvements in its performance and scope and especially in the development of new catalytic and enantioselective versions. This mini-review presents these recent advances through selected representative examples.

Abstract
The sequence of allylic alcohol transposition, carbonyl group trapping, oxocarbenium ion formation, and nucleophilic addition results in the formation of a ring while serving as a fragment-coupling and stereocenter-generating reaction. Successful applications of these processes require a balancing of the kinetics of numerous productive and unproductive steps. This work describes the manner in which solvent changes can be used to expand the scope and change the stereochemical outcomes of these processes. Mechanistic studies provide greater insight into the nuances of the transformations and the reactive species that are generated.

Abstract
We present the first examples of rearrangement reactions of allylic silanol substrates into linear ketone and 5-membered cyclic silanediol organomercurial products. Both reactions are mediated by Hg(OTf)2 but differ in the use of base, solvent, and temperature. The substrate scope of both transformations was explored, and the product organomercurials were shown to be valuable synthons. Mechanistic studies suggest that both products are the result of a series of transformations, cascading in one pot. DFT analysis provides a basis for understanding the rearrangement of a 6-endo intermediate into the 5-exo cyclic silanediol product.

Abstract
We show that 1M aqueous HCl/THF or NaBH4/DMF allows for demercurative ring-opening of cyclic organomercurial synthons into secondary silanol products bearing terminal alkenes. We had previously demonstrated that primary allylic silanols are readily transformed into cyclic organomercurials using Hg(OTf)2/NaHCO3 in THF. Overall, this amounts to a facile two-step protocol for the rearrangement of primary allylic silanol substrates. Computational investigations suggest that this rearrangement is under thermodynamic control and that the di-tert-butylsilanol protecting group is essential for product selectivity.

Abstract
AbstractAllylic alcohols form perrhenate esters upon reaction with Re2O7 or HOReO3. These species undergo nonstereospecific and nonregiospecific alcohol-transposition reactions through cationic intermediates. Sequencing these nonselective processes with reversible trapping by electrophiles results in cyclization reactions where regio- and stereocontrol are dictated by thermodynamics. The cationic intermediates can also be utilized as electrophiles in intra- or intermolecular dehydrative reactions with nucleophiles. These processes serve as the basis for applications in catalytic syntheses of a wide range of heterocyclic and carbocyclic structures that often show considerable increases in molecular complexity. This Account describes a sequence of events that started from a need to solve a problem for the completion of a natural product synthesis and evolved into a central element in the design of numerous new transformations that proceed under mild conditions from readily accessible substrates.1 Introduction2 Exploratory Studies3 Application to Spiroketal Synthesis4 Reactions with Epoxides as Trapping Agents5 Development of Dehydrative Cyclizations6 Bimolecular Reactions7 Spirocyclic Ether Formation8 Conclusions

Abstract
Monoallylic 1,3- and 1,5-diols undergo Re2O7-mediated ionization to form allylic cations that engage in cyclization reactions to form dihydropyran products. The reactions give the 2,6-trans-stereoisomer as the major products as a result of minimizing steric interactions in a boat-like transition state. The results of these studies are consistent with cationic intermediates, with an intriguing observation of stereochemical retention in one example.

Abstract
Approaches to stereocontrol that invoke thermodynamic control fail when two or more potential products are energetically similar, but rational structural perturbations can be employed to break the energetic degeneracy and provide selective transformations. This manuscript illustrates that tethering is an effective approach for the stereoselective construction of bis-spiroketals with thermodynamically similar stereoisomers, providing a new approach to set remote stereocenters and prepare complex structures that have not previously been accessed stereoselectively.

Abstract
Ketones that are flanked by an allylic alcohol and an alkene isomerize to spirocyclic ethers in the presence of Re2O7 through allylic alcohol transposition, oxocarbenium ion formation, and Prins cyclization. These processes provide significant increases in molecular complexity, with multiple stereocenters being set relative to a stereocenter in the substrate. Stereoselectivity arises from the initial reversible steps being more rapid than the final step, thereby allowing for thermodynamically controlled stereochemical equilibration prior to product formation.

Abstract
This manuscript describes the application of Re2O7 to the syntheses of diarylmethanes from benzylic alcohols through solvolysis followed by Friedel-Crafts alkylation. The reactions are characterized by broad substrate scope, low catalyst loadings, high chemical yields, and minimal waste generation. The intermediate perrhenate esters are superior leaving groups to chlorides and bromides in these reactions. The polarity and water sequestering capacity of hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol are critical to the success of these processes. Re2O7 is a precatalyst for HOReO3, which serves as a less costly and easily handled promoter for these reactions. Oxorhenium catalysts selectively activate alcohols in the presence of similarly substituted acetates, indicating a unique chemoselectivity and mechanism in comparison to Brønsted acid catalysis.

Abstract
Axially chiral compounds are widespread in biologically active compounds and are useful chiral ligands or organocatalysts in asymmetric catalysis. It is well-known that styrenes are one of the most abundant and principal feedstocks and thus represent excellent prospective building blocks for chemical synthesis. Driven by the development of atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral styrene derivatives, we discovered herein the asymmetric organocatalytic approach via direct Michael addition reaction of substituted diones/ketone esters/malononitrile to alkynals. The axially chiral styrene compounds were produced with good chemical yields, enantioselectivities and almost complete E/Z-selectivities through a secondary amine-catalysed iminium activation strategy under mild conditions. Such structural motifs are important precursors for further transformations into biologically active compounds and synthetic useful intermediates and may have potential applications in asymmetric synthesis as olefin ligands or organocatalysts. Many methods exist for the atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral biaryls, but axially chiral styrenes are much less explored. Here the authors report an organocatalytic procedure for the synthesis of configurationally stable, axially chiral styrenes with high enantio- and diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
Computational and synthetic studies have elucidated the origins of stereodivergence in an oxy-Michael synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyrans.
The origins of the stereodivergence in the thioester oxy-Michael cyclization for the formation of 4-hydroxy-2,6-cis- or 2,6-trans-substituted tetrahydropyran rings under different conditions was investigated both computationally and experimentally. Synthetic studies showed that the 4-hydroxyl group was essential for stereodivergence. When the 4-hydroxyl group was present, TBAF-mediated conditions gave the 2,6-trans-tetrahydropyran and trifluoroacetic acid-mediated conditions gave the 2,6-cis-tetrahydropyran. This stereodivergence vanished when the hydroxyl group was removed or protected. Computational studies revealed that: (i) the trifluoroacetic acid catalysed formation of 2,6-cis-tetrahydropyrans was mediated by a trifluoroacetate-hydroxonium bridge and proceeded via a chair-like transition state; (ii) the TBAF-mediated formation of 2,6-trans-tetrahydropyrans proceeded via a boat-like transition state, where the 4-hydroxyl group formed a crucial hydrogen bond to the cyclizing alkoxide; (iii) both reactions are under kinetic control. The utility of this stereodivergent approach for the formation of 4-hydroxy-2,6-substituted tetrahydropyran rings has been demonstrated by the total syntheses of the anti-osteoporotic natural products diospongin A and B.

Abstract
![]()
Oxepanes
are found in a wide range of natural products; however,
they are challenging synthetic targets due to enthalpic and entropic
barriers. Organocatalytic oxa-conjugate addition reactions promoted
by the gem-disubstituent (Thorpe–Ingold) effect
stereoselectively provided α,α′-trans-oxepanes. In addition, the potential of an organocatalytic tandem
oxa-conjugate addition/α-oxidation was demonstrated in a rapid
generation of molecular complexity. These organocatalytic oxa-conjugate
addition reactions would provide powerful tools for the synthesis
of natural products that contain highly functionalized oxepanes.

Abstract
The direct metal-catalyzed [1,3]-transposition of allylic alcohols and allylic silyl ethers is a synthetically useful isomerization process that occurs via [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement induced by high oxidation state oxometal complexes. The isomerization requires only a catalytic amount of promoter, and high chirality transfer can be achieved. Thus, it bears a significant potential to become a powerful tool in multistep synthesis. Although [1,3]-transposition of allylic alcohols has been known since the late 1960s, the development of synthetically useful protocols that allow for a high level of regio- and stereoselectivity control and their synthetic applications have emerged only recently. This tutorial review summarizes recently developed regioselective [1,3]-transpositions of allylic alcohols and silyl ethers and their applications to natural product synthesis.

Abstract
Allylic alcohols undergo transposition reactions in the presence of Re2 O7 whereby the equilibrium can be dictated by trapping one isomer with a pendent electrophile. Additional ionization can occur when the trapping group is an aldehyde or ketone, thus leading to cyclic oxocarbenium ion formation. Terminating the process through bimolecular nucleophilic addition into the intermediate provides a versatile method for the synthesis of diverse oxygen-containing heterocycles. Understanding the relative rates of the steps in the sequence leads to the design of reactions which create multiple stereocenters with good to excellent levels of control.

Abstract
Re(VII) oxides catalyze the acetalization, monoperoxyacetalization, monothioacetalization and allylation of hemiacetals. The reactions, which take place under mild conditions and at low catalyst loadings, can be conducted using hemiacetals, the corresponding O-silyl ethers, and, in some cases, the acetal dimers. Aldehydes react under similar conditions to furnish good yields of dithioacetals. Reactions of hemiacetals with nitrogen nucleophiles are unsuccessful. 1,2-Dioxolan-3-ols (peroxyhemiacetals) undergo Re(VII)-promoted etherification but not allylation. Hydroperoxyacetals (1-alkoxyhydroperoxides) undergo selective exchange of the alkoxide group in the presence of either Re2O7 or a Brønsted acid.

Abstract
An asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-amphidinolide V was accomplished. The synthesis features a base-catalyzed alkynyl silane alcoholysis/ring-closing enyne metathesis sequence for facile construction of a 1,3-diene motif. A diene RCM followed by a ring-contractive allylic transposition of cyclic silyl ethers was incorporated for the stereoselective installation of a functionalized 1,5-diene subunit. An efficient proline-mediated direct cross-aldol condensation of two advanced aldehyde intermediates was utilized for the construction of a key α,β-unsaturated epoxyaldehyde. This total synthesis demonstrates the prowess of metal-catalyzed transformations in complex molecule synthesis.

Abstract
Complexity from simplicity: polycyclic ethers are synthesized by cascade reactions involving the use of epoxides as electrophilic traps in the transposition of allylic alcohols. Stereogenic centers are created by functionalizing prochiral sites under thermodynamic control, and remote stereoinduction can be achieved through the use of ketones as conduits.

Abstract
The tandem ylide formation/[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement between donor/acceptor rhodium carbenoids and chiral allyl alcohols is a convergent C-C bond forming process, which generates two vicinal stereogenic centers. Any of the four possible stereoisomers can be selectively synthesized by appropriate combination of the chiral catalyst Rh(2)(DOSP)(4) and the chiral alcohol.
