Abstract:
The invention provides a novel process for making novel (4-phenyl-1,3-dioxan-cis-5-yl)alkenoic acids of the formula I in which Ra and Rb are independently hydrogen, alkenyl, alkyl, halogenoalkyl, pentafluorophenyl, aryl or aryl-(1,4C)alkyl; or Ra and Rb together are polymethylene; Rc is hydroxy or (1-6C)alkanesulphonamideo, A is vinylene, n is 1, Y is polymethylene, and benzene ring B bears various optional substituents. The process involves the reaction of an aldehyde of formula II with an ylid to give an erythro-diol of formula III which is then cyclized to the required dioxane derivative of formula I. The invention also provides a novel process for making the aldehydes of formula II from the corresponding lactols of formula IIa, which are themselves obtained with the correct trans-stereochemistry by two selective reductions of a trans-phenylparaconic acid of formula V. The compounds of formula I are useful as thereapeutic agents.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a class of chemical compounds useful as efficacious drugs in the treatment of sickle cell disease and diseases characterized by unwanted or abnormal cell proliferation. The active compounds are substituted triaryl methane compounds or analogues thereof where one or more of the aryl groups is replaced with a heteroaryl, cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl group and/or the tertiary carbon atom is replaced with a different atom such as Si, Ge, N or P. The compounds inhibit mammalian cell proliferation, inhibit the Gardos channel of erythrocytes, reduce sickle erythrocyte dehydration and/or delay the occurrence of erythrocyte sickling or deformation.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a novel process for the stereospecific manufacture of novel hydroxymethyl lactols of the formula I by a one step reduction of a corresponding lactone carboxylic ester of the formula II (many of which esters are novel) using a reducing agent such as diisobutylaluminium hydride at about ambient temperature. The lactols of formula I are intermediates for the production of pharmacologically active 1,3-dioxane alkenoic acids useful in the treatment of certain cardiovascular and pulmonary medical conditions. Certain of the esters of formula II are novel and are also included in the invention.
