Rapid reduction of plasma triglycerides (TG) is believed to improve the outcome of pancreatitis in the context of hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG)-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP). Previous studies have suggested that haemoperfusion (HP) with the Jafron cartridge series could be effective for reducing TG concentrations in patients with HTG-AP. However, the clearance capacity (CC) for TG removal has not been reported.

A direct aminative dearomatization of 2-naphthols was achieved. In the presence of 1 mol% Rh2(esp)2 and 3 equivalents of O-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydroxylamine (DPH) as readily available aminating reagents, the reactions of 2-naphthols afforded unprotected α-amino-β-naphthalenones in good yields under mild reaction conditions. The conditions were compatible with gram-scale reaction, and the product could undergo diverse transformations.

A highly efficient method for constructing C3-methyl-substituted pyrroloindolines and furoindolines via cascade dearomatization reaction of indole derivatives with methyl iodide was developed. This protocol offers a direct approach to a wide range of C3 methyl substituted pyrroloindolines under mild conditions. The utility of this method was further demonstrated in the concise synthesis of (±)-esermethol.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method for amination of tryptamines using DPH and a CuBr-bisoxazoline catalyst was developed, leading to compounds called 3a-amino-pyrroloindolines with high enantioselectivity.
  • This reaction occurs under mild conditions, making it a potentially practical approach in organic synthesis.
  • The method was successfully applied in the total synthesis of (-)-psychotriasine, showing its synthetic utility and efficiency.
