TLDR
In this article, the title compounds 2 and their corresponding epimers 18 are prepared in several steps by starting with chiral formyl ester 5, and α-tetralones 10: coupling reaction with the ylide generated from 11 to yield unsaturated ester 13, reduction to the corresponding alcohol 14, addition of the Grignard reagent derived from 14 to formyl Ester 5 to afford the hydroxy esters 16 and 17, and lactonization.

Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of enantiomerically pure (R)-2-naphthylmethoxyacetic acid

TL;DR: In this paper, an enantiomerically pure (R )-2-naphthylmethoxyacetic acid (2-NMA) was synthesized from 2-Naphthaldehyde via an integrated chemo-enzymatic procedure.

Design and synthesis of conformationally constrained analogues of cis-cinnamic acid and evaluation of their plant growth inhibitory activity

TL;DR: Conformationally constrained cis-CA analogues, in which the aromatic ring and cis-olefin were connected by a carbon bridge, were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as plant growth inhibitors and demonstrated that the inhibitory activities of the five- Membered and six-membered bridged compounds were enhanced, up to 0.27 μM, and were ten times higher than cis- CA, while the potency of the other compounds was reduced.

Regio- and Stereoselective Alkoxycarbonylmethylenation of Partially Saturated Heterobicyclic Compounds: First Synthesis of 2-Substituted Quinazoline-8-acetic Acid Esters

TL;DR: In this article, the three-step synthesis of 2-substituted quinazol-8-yl acetates is described, introducing a completely new method for the regio-and stereoselective alkoxy carbonylmethylenation of tetrahydroquinazolines.

HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors for treatment of hypercholesterolemia.

TL;DR: If reductase inhibitors prove to be free of long-term adverse effects, they will undoubtedly be used widely for treating hypercholesterolemia and this review will examine lovastatin.

Familial Hypercholesterolemia: Identification of a Defect in the Regulation of 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase Activity Associated with Overproduction of Cholesterol

TL;DR: The demonstration of apparently identical kinetic properties of the reductase activity of control and mutant cells, coupled with the evidence that this enzyme is normally regulated not by allosteric effectors but by alterations in enzyme synthesis and degradation, suggests that the primary genetic abnormality does not involve the structural gene for the enzyme itself, but a hitherto unidentified gene whose product is necessary for mediation of feedback control by lipoproteins.
