A series of six/five member (E/Z)-Goniothalamin analogs were synthesized from commercially available (3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)methanol/5- (hydroxymethyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one in three steps with good to moderate overall yields and their cytotoxicity against lymphoblastic leukemic T cell line (Jurkat E6.1) have been evaluated. Among the synthesized analogs, (Z)-Goniothalamin appeared to be the most active in cytotoxicity (IC 50 = 12 μM). Structure-activity relationship study indicates that introducing substituent in phenyl ring or replacing phenyl ring by pyridine/naphthalene, or decreasing the ring size of lactones (from six to five member) do not increase the cytotoxicity.
Ruthenium-catalyzed olefin metathesis double-bond isomerization sequence
Schmidt, Bernd
, p. 7672 - 7687 (2007/10/03)
A novel ruthenium-catalyzed tandem ring-closing metathesis (RCM) double-bond isomerization reaction is described in this paper. The utility of this method for the efficient syntheses of five-, six-, and seven-membered cyclic enol ethers is demonstrated. It relies on the conversion of a metathesis-active ruthenium carbene species to an isomerization-active ruthenium-hydride species in situ. This conversion is achieved by using various additives. Scope and limitations of the different protocols are discussed, and some mechanistic considerations based on 31P and 1H NMR spectroscopic studies are presented.
