ine (1), a histoneacetyltransferaseinhibitor previously identified by our research group and active at the sub‐millimolar/millimolar level, led to compounds bearing higher alkyl groups at the C2‐quinoline or additional side chains at the C6‐quinoline positions. Such compounds displayed at least threefold improved inhibitory potency toward p300 protein lysine acetyltransferaseactivity; some of them
Enantioselective Synthesis of Endocyclic β-Amino Acids with Two Contiguous Stereocenters via Hydrogenation of 3-Alkoxycarbonyl-2-Substituted Quinolines
Abstract An enantioselective iridium-catalyzedhydrogenation of 3-alkoxycarbonyl-2-substituted quinolinederivatives is described. This methodology provides a convenient route to enantiopure endocyclic β-amino acids with two contiguous stereocenters with up to 90% ee. An enantioselective iridium-catalyzedhydrogenation of 3-alkoxycarbonyl-2-substituted quinolinederivatives is described. This methodology
