Enantiomerically pure 2-alkylsuccinates are obtained on a 500-g scale after hydrogenation with the cationic rhodium complexes with tetraalkyl-substituted 1,2-bis(phospholanyl)ethane or -benzene ligands [R'-DuPHOS; Eq. (a)]. The catalysts allow smooth hydr

A series of P2-modified, orally active peptidic inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) are reported. These pentafluoroethyl ketone-based inhibitors were designed using pentafluoroethyl ketone 1 as a model. Rational structural modifications were made at the P3, P2, and activating group (A(G)) portions of 1 based on structure-activity relationships (SAR) developed from in vitro (measured K(i)) data and information provided by modeling studies that docked inhibitor 1 into the active site of HNE. The modeling-based design was corroborated with X-ray crystallographic analysis of the complex between 1 and porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) and subsequently the complex between 1 and HNE.
