Stereoselective formal synthesis of xylo-(2S,3R,4R)-phytosphingosine and threo-(2S,3S)-sphingosine is described starting from an enantiopure formyl-substituted P-lactam. Grignard reaction of the N-Boc-protected-beta-lactam carbonyl group, followed by further transformations, provides a common intermediate for xylo-(2S,3R,4R)-phytosphingosine and threo-(2S,3S)-sphingosine.

Azetidin-2,3-diones have been used as synthons for the synthesis of C-3 alkylidene/alkylazetidin-2-ones. Some of the 3-alkylazetidin-2-ones are well known for their cholesterol absorption inhibitor activity. A regio and stereoselective Grignard reaction on a keto group followed by dehydration using PPh3/CCl4 reagent is a key step in this synthesis. Hydrogenation of the 3-alkylideneazetidin-2-ones provided stereoselectively cis-3-alkylazetidin-2-ones in very good yields. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This article surveys the literature on the reactivity of thiophenes and benzothiophenes published since the appearance of the third edition of Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry. Two areas that have received maximum attention are: (1) homo- and cross-coupling reactions leading to C C bond formation with high site selectivity and under mild reaction conditions, as well as the regioselective introduction of heteroatom substituents and (2) dithienylethenes and their symmetry-allowed photocyclized isomers, with special reference to the use of this photochromic system as photoswitching units.
