Solvent- and catalyst-free gem-bisallylation of carboxylic acid derivatives with allylzinc bromide

A rapid and efficient procedure for the solvent-free synthesis of gem-bisallylation products has been achieved by allylzinc bromide with carboxylic acid derivatives in the absence of any catalysts at room temperature.

Allylation of esters promoted by metallic dysprosium in the presence of mercuric chloride

In the presence of mercuric chloride, the reactions of esters with allyl bromide and metallic dysprosium in anhydrous THF give diallyl alkyl carbinols in good yields. When γ-butyrolactone is used as the substrate, the corresponding product is 4-allyl-6-heptene-1, 4-diol.

3-Alkyl-3-hydroxyglutaric acids: A new class of hypocholesterolemic HMG CoA reductase inhibitors. 1

Derivatives of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid (HMG), a portion of the substrate for HMG CoA reductase, were prepared and tested for their inhibitory action against rat liver HMG CoA reductase and for their hypocholesterolemic activity. Structure-dependent competitive inhibition was observed. Optimal structures had a freee dicarboxylic acid with an alkyl group of 13-16 carbons at position 3. 3-n-Pentadecyl-3-hydroxyglutaric acid (IC50 = 50 μM) reduced serum cholesterol in the Triton-treated rat and HMG CoA reductase activity in the 20,25-diazacholesterol-treated rat.
