Abstract: A process for the stereoselective synthesis of chiral 3-heterocyclyl-1,2-dihydroxy cyclohexanes is disclosed. The process involves reacting a tricyclic nitrogenous heterocycle with an allyl carbonate in the presence of a chiral palladium catalyst followed by oxidation of the olefinic bond to provide 3-heterocyclyl-1,2-dihydroxy cyclohexanes, cyclopentanes and corresponding alicyclic heterocycles. Also disclosed are methods for converting the heterocyclyl-1,2-dihydroxy cyclohexanes to 2-amino-6-(heteroaryl)cyclohexanols (and related cyclic compounds).

Abstract: A genus of arylsulfonamide derivatives of aminocycloalkanols is disclosed. The compounds are of the following genus: The compounds induce FOXO1 transcription factor translocation to the nucleus by modulating PP2A and, as a consequence, exhibit anti-proliferative effects. They are useful in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including as a monotherapy in cancer treatment, or used in combination with other drugs to restore sensitivity to chemotherapy where resistance has developed.

Abstract: Tricyclic chemical modulators of protein phosphatase 2A are disclosed. The compounds are useful to treat cancer, age-onset proteotoxicity, stress-induced depression, inflammation, and acne.
