experimental part, p. 8513 - 8517 (2011/12/03)
Highly enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to enones was achieved using a mixed catalyst consisting of a primary Β-amino acid, O-TBDPS (S)-Β-homoserine, and its lithium salt. Various cyclic and acyclic enones were converted into 1,5-ketoesters in high yields (up to 92%) with high enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee) under mild reaction conditions. Details of synthesis of the catalyst, optimization of the reaction conditions for the Michael addition reaction, and a plausible reaction mechanism are described.

Glutamol adenylate 10 was a competitive inhibitor (K(i) = 3 μM) of glutamyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli. The N6-benzoyl adenine derivative 9 was also an inhibitor (K(i) ~ 60 μM). Replacement of adenine by other bases (purine, cytosine
