Abstract
This review article discusses the literature regarding thallium(III)
compounds in synthetic organic chemistry published in the last decade,
including several applications in the total synthesis of natural
products. The reactions that received the most attention in this
period were: i) the oxidative rearrangement of chalcones; ii) the
ring contraction of cyclic alkenes; iii) the oxidation of homoallylic
alcohols; iv) aromatic thallations; and v) oxidative couplings,
including with phenols.

Abstract
Four stereoisomers of the C21-C40 fragment are synthesized
in a single exercise with the aid of fluorous tagging to encode configurations
at C37 and C33. After demixing and detagging, the isomers were found
to have substantially identical H NMR spectra. However,
there were some small but reliable differences in their C NMR
spectra.

Abstract
An efficient chiral ligand, (1,5)-1-(1′-dimethylaminoethyl)-2-isopropylidene-5-methylcyclohexanol,
has been developed for the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc
to some prochiral aldehydes to afford -alcohols.
The overall conversion rate was 80-98% with excellent
enantiomeric excess (79-98%).

Abstract
Lasiol, the major component of the mandibular gland secretion,
serves as the primary sex attractant of the male ant, . Our interest in
lasiol stems from the stereochemistry of the chiral methyl substituents
and the synthetic challenges posed by this common structural motif.
As such, an asymmetric 1,4-conjugate addition of an allylic stannane
to produce the 1,2--dimethyl arrangement
with high stereocontrol has resulted in the synthesis of (-)-lasiol.

Abstract
A conceptually distinct approach to the aminolysis of 1,2-epoxides,
which involves Lewis base-Brønsted acid catalysis employing -formyl--proline
as an easily accessible bifunctional organocatalyst and water as
a solvent is presented. The potential of -formyl--proline as organocatalyst for the sulfide
oxidation reaction using aqueous hydrogen peroxide as environmentally
benign and readily available oxidant is also demonstrated. Good
to high yields are achieved for both reactions.

Abstract
The first Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of 2,3,4-tribromothiophene
are reported. These reactions provide a convenient and site-selective
approach to 2-aryl-3,4-dibromothiophenes, 2,4-diaryl-3-bromothiophenes,
and 2,3,4-triarylthiophenes.
