The prenylated isoflavones 5-deoxyprenylbiochanin A (7-hydroxy-4′-methoxy-3′-prenylisoflavone) and erysubin F (7,4′-dihydroxy-8,3′-diprenylisoflavone) were synthesized for the first time, starting from mono- or di-O-allylated chalcones, and the structure of 5-deoxy-3′-prenylbiochanin A was corroborated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Flavanones are key intermediates in the synthesis. Their reaction with hypervalent iodine reagents affords isoflavones via a 2,3-oxidative rearrangement and the corresponding flavone isomers via 2,3-dehydrogenation. This enabled a synthesis of 7,4′-dihydroxy-8,3′-diprenylflavone, a non-natural regioisomer of erysubin F. Erysubin F (8), 7,4′-dihydroxy-8,3′-diprenylflavone (27), and 5-deoxy-3′-prenylbiochanin A (7) were tested against three bacterial strains and one fungal pathogen. All three compounds are inactive against Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (NCTC 13349), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), and Candida albicans (ATCC 90028), with MIC values greater than 80.0 μM. The diprenylated natural product erysubin F (8) and its flavone isomer 7,4′-dihydroxy-8,3′-diprenylflavone (27) show in vitro activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, ATCC 43300) at MIC values of 15.4 and 20.5 μM, respectively. In contrast, the monoprenylated 5-deoxy-3′-prenylbiochanin A (7) is inactive against this MRSA strain.

The detection and removal of heavy metals in the environment is urgent and meaningful. In this work, two types of fluorescent functionalized silksOSPandASPhave been prepared using worm silk as the substrate. These fluorescent silk probes exhibit an obvious fluorescence quenching effect in the presence of Hg2+or Ag+, enabling silk to specifically detect Hg2+or Ag+. An obvious color response occurs under visible light, from yellow to brown or gray, thereby realizing dual-channel identification of fluorescence and colorimetry. In addition, its sensing mechanism has been studied, and it is found that the probe reacts with metal ions as a reactive response. Compared with the fluorescent probes bearing one C-C/C-C bond, the probes with two terminal C-C/C-C bonds are more sensitive. And the excellent recognition ability can make the limit of detection as low as 0.25 μM. This indicates that silk fluorescent probes can be used to detect Hg2+and/or Ag+

We have developed a simple method for the chemoselective aromatization of tetrahydro-β-carboline with selective nondeallylation O-allyl groups in the presence of iodine (100 mol %) in dimethyl sulfoxide/H2O2. A convergent approach toward the oxidative aromatization with selective deallylation (deprotection) of O-allyl-tetrahydro-β-carboline using iodine in dimethyl sulfoxide/HCl has been described. The present protocol contains cheap catalyst, easy work up, normal reaction conditions, and high selectivity.
