Synthesis of malhamensilipin A exploiting iterative epoxidation/chlorination: experimental and computational analysis of epoxide-derived chloronium ions (2016)
Journal Article
Saska, J., Lewis, W., Paton, R., & Denton, R. (2016). Synthesis of malhamensilipin A exploiting iterative epoxidation/chlorination: experimental and computational analysis of epoxide-derived chloronium ions. Chemical Science, 7(12), 7040-7049. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6SC03012B

We report a 12-step catalytic enantioselective formal synthesis of malhamensilipin A (3) and diastereoisomeric analogues from (E)-2-undecenal. The convergent synthesis relied upon iterative epoxidation and phosphorus(V)-mediated deoxydichlorination r...

Synthesis of quaternary aryl phosphonium salts: photoredox-mediated phosphine arylation (2016)
Journal Article
Fearnley, A., An, J., Jackson, M., Lindovska, P., & Denton, R. (2016). Synthesis of quaternary aryl phosphonium salts: photoredox-mediated phosphine arylation. Chemical Communications, 52, https://doi.org/10.1039/C6CC00556J

We report a synthesis method for the construction of quaternary aryl phoshonium salts at ambient temperature. The regiospecific reaction invovles the coupling of phosphines with aryl radicals derived from diaryliodonium salts under photoredox conditi...
