Acetogenin analogs in which the bis-adjacent THF ring was replaced with an enantioselectively synthesized 1,2-cyclopentanediol bis-ether skeleton were synthesized to obtain simplified mimics, and their inhibitory effect on mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) was examined. The results clearly demonstrate that the 1,2-cyclopentanediol bis-ether motif can substitute for the bis-THF ring while maintaining very potent inhibitory activity at the nanomolar level.

A series of lanthanide (III) salts have been shown to catalyze the monoacylation of symmetrical 1,2-diols by carboxylic acid anhydrides with surprisingly high selectivity.
Enzymatic Preparation of Optically Pure trans-1,2-Cycloalkanediols
Seemayer, R.,Schneider, M. P.
, p. 49 - 50 (2007/10/02)
trans-1,2-Cycloalkanediols (R,R)-1,4 and (S,S)-1,3 of high optical purities are prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis and estrification catalyzed by a lipase from Pseudomonas sp. (SAM II).
