Convergent syntheses of three new analogues of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 with α-hydroxyalkyl substituents at C12 (4a–c) are described. The A-ring and triene system of each analogue were assembled by a tandem Pd-catalysed ...

A series of C15–C20 isoprenyl derivatives bearing terminal alkenyl and alkynyl groups were synthesized as possible substrates of the methyl-branched lipid ω-hydroxylase CYP124A1 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The ...

A general procedure for the synthesis of 2-substituted tetrahydro-1,3-thiazepines by MW-assisted cyclization of 4-thioamidobutanols is presented. The acyclic precursors were prepared in high overall yields by an expeditious ...
