, p. 945 - 948 (1987)
The lower order mixed cuprate derived from CuCN and 2-lithiothiophene (i.e.,2-ThCu(CN)Li) is found to have excellent shelf life, thereby providing an easily formed yet itself unreactive precursor to higher order mixed organocuprates.

The HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, statins, are one of the most effective and bestselling cholesterol-lowering drugs. The use of statins has greatly extended people's lives and improved the quality of their life. Development of a more efficient, stereoselective, and sustainable synthesis of statins is continuingly of utmost importance. In the present study, through screening of ketoreductases (KREDs) and reaction optimization, we have successfully performed a highly stereoselective reduction of ketoester 1a catalyzed by KRED-06 at a pilot-plant scale without the addition of exogenous NADP+, generating 3.21 kg of enantiomerically pure tert-butyl (R)-3-hydroxyl-5-hexenoate ((R)-2a) (96.2% yield, >99.9% enantiomeric excess (ee)). This newly developed biocatalytic process alleviates the cryogenic conditions (-40 °C) employed in our first-generation synthesis of (R)-2a using NaBH4 and (l)-tartaric acid. Coupled with our previously established synthesis of bromocarbonate 3a via a one-pot diastereoselective carboxylation/bromocyclization of (R)-2a, we have developed an innovative, practical synthesis route to statin side chain, possessing great potential to be implemented into industrial production of statins.

The stereoselective total synthesis of (?)-galantinic acid 1 and 1-deoxy-5-hydroxysphingolipids 4 is described via Prins cyclization protocol followed by reductive ring opening sequence of substituted pyrenol derivative 6. The target molecules were synthesized using a common synthetic intermediate epoxide 5. Besides, we also proposed synthetic pathways to achieve other structural analogues using common intermediates.
