title: First asymmetric synthesis of CJ-14877 and its enantiomer and their interleukin-1beta inhibitory activities.
abstract: A potent antiinflammatory methyl picolinate alkaloid CJ-14877 [(+)-1] and its enantiomer (-)-1 were synthesized in two steps starting from commercially available methyl 5-bromopicolinate. The synthesis includes microwave-assisted Suzuki coupling reaction and Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation.
