Electrophilic Bromolactonization of Cyclopropyl Diesters Using Lewis Basic Chalcogenide Catalysts

An efficient and regioselective electrophilic bromolactonization of cyclopropylmethyl diesters using triphenylphosphine sulfide (Ph3PS) or diphenyl selenide (Ph2Se) as the Lewis basic chalcogenide catalyst has been developed. It was observed that Ph3PS favored the formation of anti-diastereomer and yielded the multi-functional γ-lactones. Interestingly, the diastereoselectivity was reversed when using Ph2Se as a catalyst where the syn-product instead of the anti-product was favored. (Figure presented.).

Tetraisoquinoline compounds which have useful pharmaceutical utility

Tetrahydroisoquinoline compounds of formula I STR1 and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and lipophilic ester thereof have utility as analgesics and in the treatment of psychoses, Parinson''s disease, Lesch-Nyan syndrome, attention deficit disorder or cognitive impairment or in the relief of drug dependence or tardive dyskinesia.
