- Effect of substituents in the A and B rings of chalcones on antiparasite activity
-
Chalcones are a group of natural products with many recognized biological activities, including antiparasitic activity. Although a lot of chalcones have been synthetized and assayed against parasites, the number of structural features known to be involved in this biological property is small. Thus, in the present study, 21 chalcones were synthesized to determine the effect of substituents in the A and B rings on the activity against Leishmania braziliensis, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Plasmodium falciparum. The compounds were active against L. braziliensis in a structure-dependent manner. Only one compound was very active against T. cruzi, but none of them had a significant antiplasmodial activity. The electron-donating substituents in ring B and the hydrogen bonds at C-2′ with carbonyl affect the antiparasitic activity.

- Chiral Phosphoric Acid Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of 2-Substituted 2,3-Dihydro-4-quinolones by a Protecting-Group-Free Approach
-
Chiral 2-substituted 2,3-dihydro-4-quinolones were synthesized based on the chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed intramolecular aza-Michael addition reaction using N-unprotected 2-aminophenyl vinyl ketones as substrates in good yields with high enantioselectivities. (Chemical Equation Presented).

- Cyclopropyl carbinol rearrangement for benzo-fused nitrogen ring synthesis
-
A synthetic method that relies on gold-catalysed cyclopropyl carbinol rearrangement of 2-tosylaminophenyl cyclopropylmethanols to prepare 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]azepines and 2-vinylindolines efficiently is reported. The reactions were shown to be chemoselective, with secondary and tertiary alcohol substrates exclusively providing benzo-fused five- and seven-membered ring products, respectively. The ring-forming process was also found to proceed in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions only in the presence of the gold and silver catalyst combination. The mechanism is thought to involve activation of the alcohol by the (p-CF3C6H 4)3PAuCl/AgOTf (Tf=triflate) catalyst, resulting in ionization of the starting material. The tertiary carbocationic intermediate generated in situ in this manner then triggers ring-opening of the cyclopropane moiety and trapping by the tethered aniline group to give the 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]azepine. Cyclopropane ring fragmentation of the secondary carbocationic analogue, on the other hand, results in diene formation followed by subsequent intramolecular hydroamination to afford the 2-vinylindoline.
