TLDR
On treatment with lithium alkyl (or aryl) cyanocuprates, these chiral building blocks undergo conjugate addition to give enantiopure trans-3,4-substituted 2-piperidone derivatives in high yield and stereoselectivity.
Abstract
Reaction of (R)-phenylglycinol with methyl 5-oxopentanoate gave either bicyclic lactam cis-1 (the kinetic product) or its isomer trans-1 (under equilibrating conditions) as the major products, which were converted to the corresponding (cis or trans) unsaturated lactams 4 and 5 On treatment with lithium alkyl (or aryl) cyanocuprates, these chiral building blocks undergo conjugate addition to give enantiopure trans-3,4-substituted 2-piperidone derivatives in high yield and stereoselectivity The synthetic potential of this transformation is illustrated by the synthesis of (+)-femoxetine and the two enantiomers of the known antidepressant paroxetine

Chiral oxazolopiperidone lactams: versatile intermediates for the enantioselective synthesis of piperidine-containing natural products.

TL;DR: Of particular interest are cyclocondensation reactions with racemic or prochiral delta-oxo (di)acid derivatives in processes involving dynamic kinetic resolution and/or differentiation of enantiotopic or diastereotopic ester groups, as they directly lead to lactams that already incorporate the carbon substituents on the heterocyclic ring.

Derivation of force fields for molecular mechanics and dynamics from ab initio energy surfaces

TL;DR: The importance of anharmonicity and cross terms in accounting for structure and energy, as well as for dynamics, is demonstrated and a more accurate representation of the out-of-plane deformation for a trigonal center is derived from the energy surfaces.

Paroxetine : a review of its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties, and therapeutic potential in depressive illness

TL;DR: Overall, available data appear to indicate that while the efficacy of paroxetine is similar to that of traditional antidepressant drugs, the newer agent possesses much improved tolerability and may be beneficial when treating patients with an increased risk of suicide.

Polarization effects in generalized molecular interaction potential: New Hamiltonian for reactivity studies and mixed QM/MM calculations

TL;DR: In this article, a strategy to introduce multipole-induced polarization effects into quantum mechanical particles is presented, which takes advantage of perturbation theory, and allows one to introduce polarization effect into the generalized molecular interaction potential (GMIP) previously defined by their group.
