Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is classified as a neglected disease by the World Health Organization. For clinical treatment, only two drugs have been on the market, Benznidazole and Nifurtimox, both of which are recommended for use in the acute phase but present low cure rates in the chronic phase. Furthermore, strong side effects may result in discontinuation of this treatment. Faced with this situation, we report the synthesis and trypanocidal activity of 3-benzoyl-flavanones. Novel 3-benzoyl-flavanone derivatives were prepared in satisfactory yields in the 3-step synthetic procedure. According to recommended guidelines, the whole cell-based screening methodology was utilized that allowed for the simultaneous use of both parasite forms responsible for human infection. The majority of the tested compounds displayed promising anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity and the most potent flavanone bearing a nitrofuran moiety was more potent than the reference drug, Benznidazole.

Organic solvents are required to carry out most organic transformations, which cause environmental pollution because of their low volatility. Glycerol, a side product obtained from biodiesel production, has emerged as a friendly solvent due to its advantageous properties. In this paper, an efficient procedure for the synthesis of flavones and chromones, using heteropolyacids as recyclable catalyst and glycerol as the solvent, is presented. The use of heteropolyacids as catalysts allows for excellent yields, easy separation and recovery, low environmental impact, and low cost. Glycerol can also be readily recovered and used over again. In addition, the presented method provides other advantages such as the low formation of waste and the replacement of corrosive mineral acids.

Dienamine 1 with W-phenylmaleimide and chromenone 14 as well as 15 produces, through initial [4 + 2]cycloaddition, xanthenones 10 and 18, respectively. Initial Michael addition of 1 to chromenones 14 and 16, and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), triggers the formation of xanthenone 19, 4-azaxanthenone 26 and substituted fumarate 49, respectively. Initial [2 + 2]cycloadducts of dienamines 1-3 with electrophilic acetylenes always undergo further transformations. Thus, 1 with DMAD, dibenzoylacetylene and ethyl propiolate (EP) ultimately gives xanthenones 33, 34 and 37, respectively, the latter being admixed with flavone 43. Enamine 2, cyclisable to xanthenone 11, gives 33 and 35 with DMAD, and 37 and 44 with EP. Reaction of 3 with DMAD affords 36 exclusively. The Royal Society of Chemistry 1999.
