- Highly enantioselective synthesis of chiral cyclic amino alcohols and conhydrine by ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation
-
A highly efficient enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of chiral cis-β-N-alkyl/arylamino cyclic alcohols has been realized by asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic α-amino cyclic ketones via DKR catalyzed by [RuCl2((S)-Xyl-SDP)((R,R)-DPEN)]. The enantioselectivities of the reaction were up to 99.9% ee with 99:1 cis-selectivities. A practical catalytic asymmetric synthesis of all four isomers of conhydrine was also developed.

- Volatile constituents of Semnostachya menglaensis Tsui
-
Semnostachya menglaensis Tsui (Acanthaceae) is a rare plant indigenous to Mengla in the tropical rainforest of the Xishuangbanna prefecture in the south of Yunnan province, People's Republic of China. When the leaves are crushed, a characteristic smell of basmati rice or pandan leaves develops. Their hexane extract, prepared from a specimen growing in a greenhouse of the botanical garden of the Kunming Institute of Botany, contains 1-(3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2- pyridyl)-1-propanone (41.2%) and 1-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-pyridyl)-1-propanone (37.5%) which constitute the main part of the volatile compounds. Minor components are 1-(3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-pyridyl)-1-ethanone (4.9%), 1-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-pyridyl)-1-ethanone (4.8%), 1-(2-piperidyl)-1-propanone (5.2%), 1-octen-3-ol (3.2%), 1-octen-3-one (1.9%), and 3-octanol and 1-(2-pyridyl)-1-propanone in trace amounts.
