Enantioselective syntheses of all four stereoisomers of formoterol are accomplished using asymmetric catalytic borane reductions with chiral oxazaborolidines as reducing agents.
Direct Asymmetric Reductive Amination for the Synthesis of Chiral β-Arylamines

The highly efficient and direct asymmetric reductive amination of arylacetones catalyzed by an iridium complex for the preparation of enantiomerically pure β-arylamines is described. The monodentate phosphoramidite ligand exhibits superb reactivity (TONs of up to 20 000) and enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee). Additives played important roles in this reductive coupling reaction. Asymmetric reductive coupling of a ketone and an amine is a straightforward and atom-economic approach for preparing optically enriched amines. The highly efficient and direct asymmetric reductive amination of arylacetones, catalyzed by an iridium complex, supplies enantiomerically pure β-arylamines. The new phosphoramidite ligands reported show superb reactivity and enantioselectivity in this reductive coupling. M.S.=molecular sieves, TFA=trifluoroacetic acid.
Use of fenoterol and fenoterol analogues in the treatment of glioblastomas and astrocytomas

Page/Page column 38; 55, (2016/12/07)
This disclosure concerns the discovery of the use of fenoterol and (R,R)- and (R,S)-fenoterol analogs for the treatment of a tumor expressing a β2-adrenergic receptor, such as a primary brain tumor, including a glioblastoma or astrocytoma expressing a β2-adrenergic receptor. In one example, the method includes administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of fenoterol, a specific fenoterol analog or a combination thereof to reduce one or more symptoms associated with the tumor, thereby treating the tumor in the subject.
