Abstract: Methods for asymmetric cis-dihydroxylation (“AD”) of quinones to produce cis-diols of quinones with high yield (i.e. a yield ?30%) and high enantioselectivity (i.e. an enantiometric excess ?30%) are disclosed. The method uses an iron-based catalyst, such as one or more Fe(II) complexes, as the catalyst, and can be performed under mild reaction conditions (e.g. a temperature ?50° C. at 1 atom in open air). The method generally includes: (i) maintaining a reaction mixture at a temperature for a period of time sufficient to form a product, where the reaction mixture contains a quinone, one or more iron-based catalyst(s), and a solvent, and where the product contains a chiral cis-diol. Optionally, the method also includes adding an oxidant into the reaction mixture prior to and/or during step (i), such as a hydrogen peroxide solution.

Abstract: The invention relates to kinase inhibitors, in particular inhibitors of protein kinases including the protein-tyrosine kinases LCK, ABL, SRC, KIT, SIK-family and/or their mutants. Although structurally similar to dasatinib, the kinase inhibitors of the invention can display one or more certain properties distinct to dasatinib. Also, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise one or more of the kinase inhibitors. The kinase inhibitors or pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be used in the treatment of a disorder or condition, such as a proliferative disorder, for example, a leukaemia or solid tumour. The kinase inhibitors or pharmaceutical compositions may be used in a treatment regimen that corresponds to, is similar to or is distinct from that used with dasatinib for a corresponding disorder, and in particular may be used in a combination treatment regimen together with one or more additional therapeutic agents, such as immune-checkpoint inhibitors.
