Homogeneous Pd-catalyzed asymmetrichydrogenation of 3-phthalimido substituted quinolines was successfully developed, providing facile access to chiral substituted tetrahydroquinolines bearing two contiguous stereogenic centers with up to 90% ee.
The present invention relates to novel pharmaceutically-useful compounds which are antagonists of the 5-oxo-ETE receptors, such as the OXE receptor. These compounds have use as therapeutic and/or prophylactic agents for diseases characterized by tissue eosinophilia, such as inflammatory conditions including respiratory diseases. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions, to the use of such compounds and compositions as medicaments, and to therapeutic methods.
