A two-step sequence for the asymmetric vicinal acylation of olefins by a [2+2+1] strategy is reported. The key reaction is a [2+2] cycloaddition of an olefin to a chiral keteniminium salt derived from N-tosylsarcosinamide. This is followed by a regioselective Baeyer-Villigeroxidation of the resulting cyclobutanone to yield a lactol derivative that is equivalent to the product of addition of a carboxyl
A set of deazaguanine derivatives 1-3 targeting human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (hPNP) have been designed and synthesized. The new compounds are characterized by the presence of a structurally simplified "azasugar" motif to be more easily accessible by chemical synthesis than previous inhibitors. In the enzymatic assays, some of the new derivatives proved to be able to inhibit hPNP at low nanomolar concentration, thereby showing the same inhibitory potency in vitro as immucillin-H (IMH). Molecular docking experiments revealed a binding mode to hPNP essentially identical to that of IMH. As a result, the lower in vivo activity exhibited by 1d, compared with that exhibited by IMH, might be ascribed to differences in the pharmacokinetic, rather than pharmacodynamic, profile between these compounds. Derivatives 1a, 1d, and 2c emerged as the most active compounds within this new set and may represent interesting leads in the search for novel hPNP inhibitors.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Carbamate Prodrugs of a Phenolic Compound
A series of carbamates of the phenolic compound 1 were prepared and evaluated in vivo as its prodrug. Each carbamate was orally administered to rats, and plasma concentrations of the parent compound 1 were measured with the passage of time. We judged which carbamate was suitable for the prodrug of 1 from both the AUC value of 1 and absence of the carbamate in plasma. The AUC value of 1 after oral administration of 2b was approximately 40-fold higher than that for an administration of 1, and the bioconversion from 2b to 1 was excellent. As a whole, di-substituted carbamates resulted in higher plasma concentrations of 1 than did mono-substituted ones. However di-substituted carbamates were almost always detected in plasma. As a result, we found that the ethycarbamoyl derivative 2b demonstrates the best prodrug property in this series.
