Incidence rates of narcolepsy diagnoses in Taiwan, Canada, and Europe: The use of statistical simulation to evaluate methods for the rapid assessment of potential safety issues on a population level in the SOMNIA study
Vacunación; Narcolepsia; Simulación y modelado: en Vacunació; Narcolèpsia; Simulació i modelització Vaccination; Narcolepsy; Simulation and modeling Background & objectives Vaccine safety signals require investigation, which may be done rapidly at the population level using ecological studies, before embarking on hypothesis-testing studies. Incidence rates were used to assess a signal of narcolepsy following AS03-adjuvanted monovalent pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza vaccination among children and adolescents in Sweden and Finland in 2010. We explored the utility of ecological data to assess incidence of narcolepsy following exposure to pandemic H1N1 virus or vaccination in 10 sites that use…
Highly Enantioselective Protonation of the 3,4-Dihydro-2- methylnaphthalen-1(2H)-one Li-Enolate by TADDOLs
A series of nine TADDOLs (=α,α,α′,α′-tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanols) 1a – 1i, have been tested as proton sources for the enantioselective protonation of the Li-enolate of 2-methyl-1-tetralone (=3,4-dihydro-2-methylnaphthalen-1(2H)-one). The enolate was generated directly from the ketone (with LiN(i-Pr)2 (LDA)/MeLi) or from the enol acetate (with 2 MeLi) or from the silyl enol ether (with MeLi) in CH2Cl2 or Et2O as the solvent (Scheme). The Li-enolate (associated with LiBr/LDA, or LiBr alone) was combined with 1.5 – 3.0 equiv. of the TADDOL at −78° by addition of the latter or by inverse addition. 2-Methyl-1-tetralone of (S)-configuration is formed (≤80% yield) with up to 99.5% sele…
