The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of (E)- or (Z)-1-fluorovinylstannanes with aryl iodides and vinyl iodides provide good yields of stereoisomerically pure substituted fluoroolefins with retention of the double bond geometry. The reaction takes place with copper(I) iodide present as a cocatalyst at ambient temperature or in refluxing tetrahydrofuran and is tolerant of a variety of functional groups. Highly functionalized and stereoisomerically pure monofluorovinyl ketones also were obtained under mild conditions by the coupling of 1-fluorovinylstannanes with acid chlorides. (1)H-{(19)F} NOE NMR experiments unequivocally established the stereochemistry of the coupling products E-14 and Z-14.

This report describes the asymmetric synthesis of a focused library of enantiopure structured triacylglycerols (TAGs) comprised of a single saturated fatty acid (C6, C8, C10, C12, C14 or C16), a pure bioactive n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (EPA or DHA) and a potent drug (ibuprofen or naproxen) intended as a novel type of prodrug. One of the terminal -1 or -3 positions of the glycerol backbone is occupied with a saturated fatty, the remaining one with a PUFA, and the drug entity is present in the -2 position. This was accomplished by a six-step chemoenzymatic approach starting from enantiopure ()- and ()-solketals.

Improved methods for the synthesis of nicotine are of great importance due to the wide range of applications of synthetic nicotine, which is free from contamination with nitrosamines. Herein, we present a four-step chemical synthesis of ()-nicotine, involving the reduction in myosmine, enantiomeric separation of nornicotine, and subsequent methylation of the appropriate enantiomer of nornicotine obtained. The reduction in myosmine was investigated using both electrochemical and chemical approaches, achieving up to 90% yields of pure nornicotine.

Two novel 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diamide ligands were constructed on the basis of 2-phenylpyrrolidine and obtained as pure diastereomers. These ligands demonstrated advanced properties in liquid-liquid extraction tests. They revealed high efficiency of americium(III) extraction alongside with the record values of selectivity in the separation of americium from light lanthanides from strongly acidic media.

Article Synopsis
  • Preparative chromatographic enantioseparation is the top method for isolating pure enantiomers during the early development of new drugs.
  • Supercritical fluid chromatography was chosen for this process due to its advantages over traditional liquid chromatography.
  • A total of 10 mg of each enantiomer of a new anti-inflammatory compound was successfully isolated, although some peak distortion occurred during testing, likely caused by the method of injection used.

Chiral (S)-o-fluorostyrene oxide (oFSO) and vicinal diol (R)-o-fluorophenylethane-1,2-diol (oFPED) are important intermediates for synthesizing treatments for neuropathic diseases. This study aimed to engineer Aspergillus usamii epoxide hydrolase (AuEH2) through a rational mutagenesis strategy to customize high enantioselectivity mutant for rac-oFSO. Out of 181 single-site mutants screened, six showed elevated enantiomeric ratio (E value) ranging from 32 to 108 according to E value and activity mutability landscapes.
