RESUMO
ß'-Thio-substituted-enones, assembled from the combination of ß-tert-butylthio-substituted aldehydes and alkynes, using rhodium catalysis, are shown to smoothly undergo in situ intramolecular S-conjugate addition to deliver a range of S-heterocycles in a one-pot process. Aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl aldehydes can all be employed, to provide thiochroman-4-ones, hexahydro-4H-thiochromen-4-ones, and tetrahydrothiopyran-4-ones, respectively. A variety of in situ oxidations are also performed, allowing access to S,S-dioxide derivatives, as well as unsaturated variants.
RESUMO
A one-pot three-step sequence involving Rh-catalyzed alkene hydroacylation, sulfide elimination and Rh-catalyzed aryl boronic acid conjugate addition gave products of traceless chelation-controlled hydroacylation employing alkyl aldehydes. The stereodefined ß-aryl ketones were obtained in good yields with excellent control of enantioselectivity. Good variation of all three reaction components is possible.
RESUMO
Ochratoxin A (OTA) exhibits potent nephrotoxic, carcinogenic and teratogenic effects and its maximum level in wines has been set to 2 µg L(-1) by regulation. Consequently, the analytical procedures for OTA determination in wines have to be both very sensitive and reliable. In this paper, we compared two quantification methods: the stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) and the diastereomeric dilution assay (DIDA). For this purpose, non-natural analogues of OTA were synthesized: the labeled OTA (OTA-d4) as a diastereomeric mixture for the SIDA and one non-natural OTA's diastereomer (OTA-dia) for the DIDA. To quantify OTA in red grapes, musts or wines, the sample preparation was optimized using immunoaffinity column extraction and the analysis was performed by LC-MS/MS in Multiple Reaction Monitoring mode. A validation procedure in agreement with the International Organization of Vine and Wine recommendations was conducted. It appeared that SIDA quantification exhibited excellent sensitivity (LOD<1 ng L(-1)), accuracy (recovery=98%), repeatability (RSD<3%) and intermediate reproducibility (RSD<4%) compared to quantification by DIDA. Indeed, DIDA method did not provide satisfactory results demonstrating that immunoaffinity extraction is exclusively selective for the natural OTA and not for its diastereomer, which therefore cannot be considered as a good internal standard for this particular method.

Due to its toxicity and presence in numerous food products, Ochratoxin A (OTA) has drawn attention for decades. This article summarizes the first synthesis of a labeled analogue of Ochratoxin α (OTα), one of the main products generated by the metabolization of OTA by microorganisms. This synthesis also led to a new labeled analogue of OTA with the deuteration located on the dihydroisocoumarin moiety allowing thus both the accurate quantification of OTA and OTα and the establishing of a reliable detoxification rate.
