On the basis of the proposed structures of jiangrines C and D, a synthetic strategy was initiated from D-glyceraldehyde acetonide, a readily available chiral material. Through a linear seven-step synthesis, the target molecules were accomplished. However, all characteristic data of the synthetic 3 and 4 were found to be different from those of natural jiangrines C and D. Accordingly, the molecular structures of jiangrines should be revised and a possible molecular skeleton for them was proposed.

A previous study for the identification of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors demonstrated that the hybrid between tyrosol, the 1,2,3-triazole nucleus, and the coumarin group, namely 7-({1-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl}methoxy)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (10), has a high enzyme inhibitory activity. Here, we synthesized analogues of 10 via triazole with pharmacophoric groups represented by tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and glycine in addition to evaluating the impact of coumarin-linked amino acids on AChE inhibition. We obtained eight triazoles, six of which are undescribed. In general, the presence of carboxylic acid decreased the inhibitory activity, while aromatic amino acids increased enzymatic inhibition compared to glycine. The derivative containing tyrosine, structurally most similar to 10, presented the lowest inhibition percentage, indicating that phenolic hydroxyl is not the preponderant factor for inhibition. Molecular docking was not enough to explain in vitro experiments. On the other hand, MlogP (logP calculated by the Moriguchi method) was related positively to enzymatic inhibition. To increase the hydrophobicity of the molecules, we tested the esterified triazole derivatives comparatively with the enzyme. The compound ethyl 2-(4-(((4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy)methyl)- 1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetate (6) presented an increment of inhibitory activity of 46.97 ± 1.75% at 100 μmol L-1. We also associated the best activity with the lowest van der Waals volume and molar mass values.

The search for metal-free, stable and high effective photocatalysts with sufficient photo-redox potentials remains a key challenge for organic chemists. Here, we present a benzothiadiazole-containing molecular organic photocatalyst with redox potentials of ?1.30 V and +1.64 V vs. SCE. The singlet state lifetime is 13 ns. Direct conversion from aliphatic alcohols to bromides has been conducted with the designed organic photocatalyst under visible light irradiation with high efficiency and selectivity. The catalytic efficiency of the novel benzothiadiazole-based photocatalyst is comparable with the state-of-art metal and non-metal catalysts. Furthermore, advanced photophysical studies including time-resolved photoluminescence and transient absorption spectroscopy offer a powerful support for photo-induced electron transfer from photocatalyst to the reactive substrates. Lastly, no photo-bleaching effect is observed, demonstrating the high stability and recyclable of the designed organic photocatalyst. (Figure presented.).
