An ene-reductase (ERED 36) with broad substrate specificity was identified, and optimization studies led to the development of an enzymatic protocol for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated acids under mild, aqueous conditions. The substrate scope includes aromatic- A nd aliphatic-substituted acrylic acids, as well as cyclic α,β-substituted acrylic acids, yielding chiral α-substituted acids with exquisite levels of enantioselectivity (>99% ee).

EP2/4 compounds having improved dual pharmacological activity are described. The uniqueness of using EP2/4 dual agonists resides in their ability to modify both uveoscleral outflow via the ciliary muscle and conventional outflow via trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal all in the same treatment paradigm. The compounds can be employed for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Formula (I).

The presence of LiCl considerably facilitates the insertion of magnesium into various aromatic and heterocyclic bromides. Several functional groups, such as -OBoc, -OTs, -Cl, -F, -CF3, -OMe, -NMe2, and -N 2NR2, are well tolerated. The presence of a cyano group leads in some cases to competitive reduction of the organic halide to the corresponding ArH compound. The presence of sensitive groups such as methyl or ethyl ester is tolerated upon in situ trapping of the intermediate magnesium reagent with ZnCl2. This method can also be applied to the preparation of functionalized benzylic zinc reagents from benzylic chlorides. In the case of di- or tribromoaryl derivatives, directing groups such as -OPiv, -OTs, -N2NR2, or -OAc orient the zinc insertion (Zn/LiCl) to the ortho-position, while the reaction with Mg/LiCl or Mg/LiCl/ZnCl 2 leads to regioselective insertion into the para-carbon-bromine bond. Large-scale experiments (20-100 mmol) for all of the metalation procedures are described.
