The Sonogashira Reaction: A Booming Methodology in Synthetic Organic Chemistry†

Asymmetric multicomponent reactions involve the preparation of chiral compounds by the reaction of three or more reagents added simultaneously. This kind of addition and reaction has some advantages over classic divergent reaction strategies, such as lower costs, time, and energy, as well as environmentally friendlier aspects. All these advantages, together with the high level of stereoselectivity attained in some of these reactions, will force chemists in industry as in academia to adopt this new strategy of synthesis, or at least to consider it as a viable option. The positive aspects as well as the drawbacks of this strategy are discussed in this Review.

This review gives an updated account on the phenomena of enantioselective perception of chiral fragrances employed in fine and functional perfumery, and of some selected flavours. Differences between enantiomers both in odour quality and strength have been considered. “Il est des parfums frais comme des chairs d ’ enfants, “The perfume is as fresh as the flesh of an infant, doux comme les hautbois, verts comme les prairies, Sweet as an oboe, green as a prairie, —et d ’ autres, corrompus, riches et triomphants, —And the others, corrupt, rich and triumphant, ayant l ’ expansion des choses infinies Enlightened by the things of infinity, comme l ’ ambre, le musc, le benjoin et l ’ encens, Like amber, musk, benzoin and incense, qui chantent les transports de l ’ esprit et des sens” That sing, transporting the soul and sense” (C. Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du Mal, Correspondances ) (translated by William A. Sigler)

Biocatalytic methods for the synthesis of enantioenriched odor active compounds.

The benzannulation reactions of substituted 3-alkoxycarbonyl-3,5-hexadienoic and 3-alkoxycarbonylhex-3-en-5-ynoic acids offer a straightforward access to various polysubstituted aromatic compounds. The process is very flexible, and can be applied to the regiospecific preparation of oligoaryls, naphthalenes, ring-fused heterocycles, chiral tetrahydronaphthalenes, C-aryl-glycosides and many natural products of different structure. In this Concept article, we highlight the potential of this annulation reaction by illustration of our recent contribution to this field, as well as the studies previous reported by others.
