Rhodium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions, sulfonyl phthalide annulations and nitroalkene reactions have been employed for the synthesis of 56 quinone-based compounds. These were evaluated against Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease. The reactions described here are part of a program that aims to utilize modern, versatile and efficient synthetic methods for the one or two step preparation of trypanocidal compounds. We have identified 9 compounds with potent activity against the parasite; 3 of these were 30-fold more potent than benznidazole (Bz), a drug used for the treatment of Chagas disease. This article provides a comprehensive outline of reactions involving over 120 compounds aimed at the discovery of new quinone-based frameworks with activity against T. cruzi.

supporting information; experimental part, p. 75 - 78 (2010/03/01)
A new tandem process based on reversible nucleophilic addition and intramolecular lactonization of methyl 2-formylbenzoate leads to the efficient synthesis of 3-functionalized phthalides, which are important precursors for the synthesis of quinone skeletons via Hauser-Kraus annulation. The reactions are successfully carried out under mild conditions in single operations.

The reaction of arenesulfinic acids 4 with phthalaldehydic acids 2 in the presence of boron trifluoride provides a practicable synthetic procedure for the preparation of 3-arylsulfonyl phthalides.
