The enantiomers of a homologous series (C6-C10) of 2-mercapto-4-alkanones were obtained by lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of the corresponding racemic 2-acetylthio-4-alkanones. Their configurations were assigned via vibrational circular dichroism and 1H NMR anisotropy based methods. Odor thresholds and odor qualities were determined by capillary gas chromatography-olfactometry using chiral stationary phases. There were minima of the odor thresholds for the chain lengths C7 and C8. Except for chain length C8, the enantiomers of the other homologues showed similar odor thresholds. The odor qualities ranged from pungent (C5) to mushroom (C9 and C10) and were similar to those known for the corresponding 1-alken-3-ones with one less C atom. In contrast to their positional isomers (4-mercapto-2-alkanones), the investigated 2-mercapto-4-alkanones do not meet the requirements of a "tropical olfactophore" (i.e., compounds possessing a 1,3-oxygen-sulfur functionality and specific arrangements of the substituents).

Nicotinic acid has been used clinically for decades to control serum lipoproteins. Nicotinic acid lowers very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, and lipoprotein-a (LPa), and it is also effective in raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol. However, nicotinic acid has several side effects in clinical use. The most notable is intense cutaneous vasodilation "flushing"+ on the upper body and face. We discovered a pyranopyrimidinedione series to be nicotinic acid receptor agonists. A potent nicotinic acid receptor agonist from this series {5-(3-cyclopropylpropyl)-2-(difluoromethyl)-3H-pyrano[2,3-d] pyrimidine-4,7-dione}with reduced flushing side effect in dogs was identified.

Catalyzed by samarium triiodide (SmI3), substitution of acyl with N-acylbenzotriazoles for acetyl in acetoacetic esters and acetylacetone proceeds smoothly under neutral conditions in open air, affording the corresponding β-keto esters and β-diketones in good yields.
