Para ello, se evidencia las desventajas de la desigualdad y su arraigo en la mentalidad de las personas que se traduce en una desigualdad de miedos. Los efectos de los componentes anteriormente señalados subyacen a muchas actitudes consideradas como "desaprobatorias" que resultan comprensibles en un contexto de informalidad y precariedad. Se llega a la conclusión de que el desacatamiento de las disposiciones sanitarias responde más a un instinto de sobrevivencia basado en un miedo al hambre-con fuertes raíces sociales-que a una transgresión intencional. Por otro lado, el ensayo busca explicar la transformación de las relaciones sociales y sus consecuencias inmediatas a raíz de la nueva convivencia con el COVID. Así pues, se da una lectura de las nuevas relaciones desde un enfoque interaccionista donde la sociedad es dividida por un dualismo antagónico representado por el mundo del nosotros y el de los otros. Determinabilidad, inmediatez y distancia son características que definen los planos de vida en cada uno de estos. La disposición de estas características en uno u otro mundo configuran las nuevas relaciones sociales

The synthesis features cascade reactions and an 'across ring' stitching of a 'macropalau'amine', and sets the bar for future efforts towards an enantioselective variant.

Subsequent tandem Wolff rearrangement/lactonization of these R-diazo intermediates provided cis-fused γ-lactones efficiently under photolytic or thermolytic conditions. In addition, cis-fused 3(2H)-furanones were obtained by rhodium(II)-catalyzed O-H insertion reactions of the δ-hydroxy-R-diazo intermediates.

This method provides a highly diastereoselective entry to cis-1,2-disubstituted -lactones as well as a -chloro carboxylic acid and a tetrahydrofuran. The former products were obtained by varying the reaction temperature. The latter product was obtained when the aldehyde substrate bore a pendant silyl ether.

This methodology provides concise access to bicyclic-and tricyclic--lactones bearing tertiary carbinol centers and quaternary carbons, greatly extending the scope of previous routes to bicyclic--lactones from aldehyde acid substrates. The utility of the method was demonstrated by application to an enantioselective synthesis of (+)-dihydroplakevulin A. This and related processes may be revealing a subtle interplay between [2+2] cycloaddition and nucleophile-catalyzed aldol lactonization (NCAL) reaction manifolds.

However, an appropriate directing group (i.e. ether) was required because of the modest diastereoselectivity observed. After this initial report, several other methods were devised for the synthesis of oxaspiro[2.2]pentanes, which include addition of lithiated bromocyclopropanes 5 or diazocompounds to ketones,6 reaction of singlet oxygen with bicyclopropylidene,7 , 8 selenone additions to ketones, 9 and the addition of cyclopropyl sulfur ylides to carbonyl compounds. By far the most widely used and arguably the most diastereoselective synthesis of oxaspiro[2.2]pentanes remains the addition of cyclopropyl sulfoxonium ylides to carbonyl compounds. 12, 13 A series of elegant studies revealed that ylide addition proceeds via equatorial attack at the carbonyl carbon in cyclic compounds. While this process is highly diastereoselective, an enantioselective process has not been developed. Although Johnson reported chiral sulfoximine ylide additions to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, the racemic counterpart performed poorly with simple carbonyl compounds as in the reaction of cyclohexanone 3 with sulfoximine ylide 4, thus the chiral series was not attempted (Scheme 2). 14 Oxaspiro[2.2]pentanes display two primary modes of reactivity. One mode, leading to a cyclobutanone, appears to be driven by the release of the strain energy of the ring system (Scheme 3).12 However, as cyclobutanes possesses essentially the same amount of strain energy as cyclopropanes (26 kcal/mol and 27 kcal/mol, respectively) due to the eclipsing interactions of the substituents on a cyclobutane, the rearrangement is driven not only by the release of ring strain of both the starting epoxide and the cyclopropane but also by the formation of a C=O bond. The ring expansion of a cyclopropane to a cyclobutane proceeds with oxaspiro[2.2]pentane 6 when appropriate stabilizing groups are present. Ionization of the epoxide, either by addition of a Lewis acid or thermal induction, yields a highly stabilized intermediate cyclopropyl carbinyl cation 7. This type of cation is uniquely stabilized due to the enhanced π-character of the σ-bonds in cyclopropanes, which consequently permits a pinacol like rearrangement to cyclobutanone 8. This process is favorable due to the release of ring strain of the starting epoxide and cyclopropane in addition to the formation of a C=O bond.

These annulations proceed with moderate to good diastereoselectivity. The potential application of this process to the synthesis of butenolide and γ-lactone containing natural products was demonstrated by further transformations of the addition products.

The principal reactivity modes of β-lactones include nucleophilic addition resulting in either acyl C2-O1 or alkyl C4-O1 cleavage, rearrangement leading to ring expansion, decarboxylation, and electrophilic reactions of β-lactone enolates.

A myriad of reports on asymmetric organocatalytic modes of substrate activation relying on small, exclusively organic molecules are delineating what has now become the multifaceted field of organocatalysis. In covalent catalysis, the catalyst and substrate combine to first form a covalent, activated intermediate that enters the catalytic cycle. Following asymmetric bond formation, the chiral catalyst is recycled through hydrolysis or displacement by a pendant group on the newly formed product. Amine- and phosphine-based organocatalysts are the most common examples that have led to a vast array of reaction types. This Highlight provides a brief overview of covalent modes of organocatalysis and applications of scalable versions of these methods applied to the total synthesis of natural products including examples from our own laboratory.

Bienvenidos a la Sociedad del COVID., 2020

El cierre de fronteras es el mayor fracaso en estos tiempos miserables: vuelven los viejos egoísmos y las categorías [ los nuestros] y [ los extraños]". Olga Tokarczuk La pandemia ha desmantelado las fragilidades que viene dejando la desigualdad en los países de América Latina. Precariedad, informalidad e insalubridad, son características propias y trasversales a toda la región que ayudan a comprender las brechas que nos separan de los "ciudadanos de primera categoría". En este continente-considerado como la región más desigual del mundo (20% de la población concentra el 83% de la riqueza)-es un hecho que el impacto del Coronavirus no afecta a todos de la misma manera. "El Covid-19 no discrimina, las desigualdades sí"1 es el lema aterrador con el cual advirtió Oxfam, en las primeras semanas de propagación, que el virus afectaría de manera más agresiva a un gran segmento de la población conformado por adultos mayores, trabajadores informales y gente desposeída. El Perú no es ajeno a esta cruda realidad. La desigualdad se muestra más acentuada, pues el 1% superior de los peruanos concentra el 38% del ingreso nacional frente al 10% más pobre que 1 Título de la nota informativa de Oxfam publicada en marzo del presente año.
