A highly efficient and enantioselective Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of unsaturatedsulfones was developed. Chiral cyclic and acyclic sulfones were produced in excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). Coupled with the Ramberg-Bäcklund rearrangement, this reaction offers a novel route to chiral allylic and homoallylic compounds in excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee) and high yields (up

The oxo-tungsten complex trans-WOCl2(OAr)(2) (Ar = 2,6-dibromophenyl) is prepared by reaction of WOCl4 with 2 equiv of 2,6-dibromophenol. A variety of nonconjugated dienes are cleanly cyclized to the corresponding cycloalkenes using 2 mol % of this catalyst in combination with 4 mol % of tetraethyllead. All three components of the catalyst system are commercially available. The catalytic reactions are typically complete in 1 h at 90 degrees C and allow the synthesis of chiral cycloalkenes with little or no loss in optical activity. For example, (R)- (S)-citronellene have been cyclized to the corresponding (R)- or (S)-3-methylcyclopentenes in 97% enantiomeric excess. The cyclization is compatible with a variety of functional groups including some eater, amide, and ether derivatives. Tri- (but not tetra-) substituted cycloalkenes could be prepared using this catalyst.

Novel derivatives of the clinically established anticancer drug oxaliplatin were synthesized. Cytotoxicity of the compounds was studied in six human cancer cell lines by means of the MTT assay. Additionally, most promising complexes were also investigated in cisplatin- and oxaliplatin-resistant human cancer cell models. The therapeutic efficacy in vivo was studied in the murine L1210 leukemia model. Most remarkably, (1R,2R,4R)-4-methyl-1,2-cyclohexanediamine}oxalatoplatinum(II), comprising an equatorial methyl substituent at position 4 of the cyclohexane ring, was as potent as oxaliplatin in vitro but distinctly more effective in the L1210 model in vivo at the optimal dose. The advantage observed in the in vivo situation was mainly based on a more favorable therapeutic index. The maximum tolerated dose of the novel analogue was higher than that of oxaliplatin and caused a greater increase in life span (>200% versus 152%), with more animals experiencing long-term survival (5/6 versus 2/6). These data support further (pre)clinical development of the methyl-substituted oxaliplatin analogue with improved anticancer activity.
