Synthesis of Acrimarins from 1,3,5-Trioxygenated-9-acridone Derivatives
Herath,Mueller,Diyabalanage
, p. 23 - 28 (2004)
1,3,5-Trihydroxy-9(10H)-acridinone (1) was prepared from 3-hydroxyanthranillic acid with phloroglucinol. 1,3-Dihydroxy-5-methoxy-9(10H)-acridinone (2) was prepared from 3-methoxyanthranillic acid and phloroglucinol. Methylation of 1 under different conditions gave 1-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy (3), 1-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-10-methyl (4), 1-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-4-methyl (5), 1,3,5-trimethoxy-10-methyl (6) and 1,3,5-trimethoxy-4,10-dimethyl (7) analogues. Demethylation of 4 afforded the 1,3,5-trihydroxy-10-methyl analogue 8. Condensation of acridones 1, 2, 3 and 4 individually with E-suberenol (9) gave four novel acrimarins (acridone-coumarin dimers) 10, 11, 12 and 13 respectively, while the acridone 8 gave previously reported acrimarin-G (14).
Half-Sandwich Ruthenium Carbene Complexes Link trans-Hydrogenation and gem-Hydrogenation of Internal Alkynes

The hydrogenation of internal alkynes with [Cp?Ru]-based catalysts is distinguished by an unorthodox stereochemical course in that E-alkenes are formed by trans-delivery of the two H atoms of H2. A combined experimental and computational study now provides a comprehensive mechanistic picture: a metallacyclopropene (??2-vinyl complex) is primarily formed, which either evolves into the E-alkene via a concerted process or reacts to give a half-sandwich ruthenium carbene; in this case, one of the C atoms of the starting alkyne is converted into a methylene group. This transformation represents a formal gem-hydrogenation of a ?€-bond, which has hardly any precedent. The barriers for trans-hydrogenation and gem-hydrogenation are similar: whereas DFT predicts a preference for trans-hydrogenation, CCSD(T) finds gem-hydrogenation slightly more facile. The carbene, once formed, will bind a second H2 molecule and evolve to the desired E-alkene, a positional alkene isomer or the corresponding alkane; this associative pathway explains why double bond isomerization and over-reduction compete with trans-hydrogenation. The computed scenario concurs with para-hydrogen-induced polarization transfer (PHIP) NMR data, which confirm direct trans-delivery of H2, the formation of carbene intermediates by gem-hydrogenation, and their evolution into product and side products alike. Propargylic aOR (R = H, Me) groups exert a strong directing and stabilizing effect, such that several carbene intermediates could be isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The gathered information spurred significant preparative advances: specifically, highly selective trans-hydrogenations of propargylic alcohols are reported, which are compatible with many other reducible functional groups. Moreover, the ability to generate metal carbenes by gem-hydrogenation paved the way for noncanonical hydrogenative cyclopropanations, ring expansions, and cycloadditions.
Spectrometric Elucidation of Acrimarines, the First Naturally Occuring Acridone-Coumarin Dimers
Furukawa, Hiroshi,Ito, Chihiro,Mizuno, Toyoko,Ju-ichi, Motoharu,Inoue, Mami,et al.
, p. 1593 - 1599 (2007/10/02)
The structures of acrimarine-A (1), -B (2), -C (3), -D (4), -E (5), -F (6), and -G (7), novel acridone alkaloids carrying a coumarin unit, from the root of Citrus funadoko have been elucidated by spectrometric studies using 1H-13C long-range COSY experiments; acrimarine-A (1) and -F (6) have also been synthesized from the corresponding acridones and coumarins.
Synthesis of the Natural Coumarins (E)-Suberenol, Cyclobissuberodiene and Two Other Related New Coumarins
Reisch, Johannes,Herath, H. M. T. Bandara,Kumar, N. Savitri
, p. 931 - 933 (2007/10/02)
The total synthesis of (E)-Suberenol (1) was carried out under the conditions of palladium-catalysed Heck condensation.Two other new coumarins, (E)-7-methoxy-6-(3-methyl-1,3-butadienyl)coumarin (3) and (E)-7-methoxy-6-(3-methyl-1-butenyl)coumarin (4) and cyclobisuberodiene (2) were synthesised from (E)-suberenol.
