We first developed a novel and efficient chemoenzymatic process to prepare (S)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3-propanediol, a vital HepDirect prodrug intermediate, from inexpensive and commercially available isonicotinic acid. Through this process, we provide a creative way to obtain the key chiral intermediate, β-hydroxyester, with ketoreductase (KRED) EA. After optimization of the process, we performed the reaction on a 100 g scale with a substrate concentration of up to 150 g/L, a yield of 93%, and an ee value of up to 99.9%. Additionally, we used a simple and effective NaBH4/MgCl2 reduction system to obtain (S)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3-propanediol with >99.9% ee and an 80% yield. This novel chemoenzymatic process has the potential to be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly process suitable for industrial use.

The first primary aminocatalytic direct cross-aldol reaction of acetaldehyde is presented. Among the various vicinal diamines screened, the L-tert-leucine derivative 1c in conjunction with (H4SiW 12O40)0.25 was identified as the optimal catalyst; good catalytic activity (up to 99% yield in 4 h), and high enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee) were achieved for a range of donors, including aromatic aldehydes and isatin derivatives. Aqueous acetaldehyde solution and paraldehyde can be conveniently applied in this system.
Synthesis and characterization of a novel liver-targeted prodrug of cytosine-1-β-D-arabinofuranoside monophosphate for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma

Cytotoxic nucleosides have proven to be ineffective for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) due, in part, to their inadequate conversion to their active nucleoside triphosphates (NTP) in the liver tumor and high conversion in other tissues. Th
