Compounds having the formula (I) pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their methods of use for the treatment of neurological disorders related to amyloid ? protein production and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.. These compounds inhibit γ secretase and thereby inhibit the production of amyloid ? protein, thereby acting to prevent the formation of neurological deposits of amyloid protein.
Phenylglycine methyl ester, a useful tool for absolute configuration determination of various chiral carboxylic acids

A new chiral anisotropic reagent, phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME), developed for the elucidation of the absolute configuration of chiral α,α- disubstituted acetic acids, has turned out to be applicable to other substituted carboxylic acids, such as chiral α-hydroxy-, α-alkoxy-, and α- acyloxy-α,α-disubstituted acetic acids, as well as to chiral β,β- disubstituted propionic acids. Because a carboxylic moiety is convertible from other functional groups, e.g., ozonolysis of an olefin and oxidative cleavage of a glycol, the present findings can expand the utility of the PGME method to the absolute configuration determination of various types of organic compounds, even those which initially lack oxygen functions. Several examples of the combination of chemical reactions and the PGME method are described.
