Stereoselective addition of nitromethane to conjugated en-ynones was performed through the application of chiral squaramides. Three non-classical approaches to promote the addition reaction were tested, including activation of the nucleophile by inorganic base in a biphasic aqueous system, thermal activation, and ball-milling. Hydrogen-bonding catalysis was effective in all these methods, providing 1,4-addition products in high yields and stereoselectivities of up to 98% requiring 1–5 mol% of Cinchona alkaloid squaramide.

A series of 5-substituted 3,5-dihydroxypentanoic acids and their derivatives have been prepared and tested for inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase in vitro. In general, unless a carboxylate anion can be formed and the hydroxy groups remain unsubstituted in an erythro relationship, inhibitory activity is greatly reduced. Furthermore, only one enantiomer of the ring-opened form of lactone 6a(±) possesses the activity displayed by the racemate. Insertion of a bridging unit other than ethyl or (E)-ethenyl between the 5-carbinol moiety and an appropriate lipophilic moiety (e.g., 2,4-dichlorophenyl) attenuates activity.
