- Iron-Catalyzed Nitrene Transfer Reaction of 4-Hydroxystilbenes with Aryl Azides: Synthesis of Imines via C=C Bond Cleavage
-
C=C bond breaking to access the C=N bond remains an underdeveloped area. A new protocol for C=C bond cleavage of alkenes under nonoxidative conditions to produce imines via an iron-catalyzed nitrene transfer reaction of 4-hydroxystilbenes with aryl azides is reported. The success of various sequential one-pot reactions reveals that the good compatibility of this method makes it very attractive for synthetic applications. On the basis of experimental observations, a plausible reaction mechanism is also proposed.

- Decarboxylation of α,β-unsaturated aromatic lactones: Synthesis of: E-ortho -hydroxystilbenes from 3-arylcoumarins or isoaurones
-
A simple and environmentally friendly strategy for the synthesis of E-ortho-hydroxystilbenes has been established. Two kinds of α,β-unsaturated aromatic lactones, i.e. the 3-arylcoumarins and the isoaurones, could both readily undergo a cascade hydrolyzation/decarboxylation reaction in the presence of KOH in ethylene glycol to afford the desired E-ortho-hydroxystilbenes in moderate to high yields.

- Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of (: E)-2,3-diaryl-5-styryl- trans -2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-based scaffolds and their in vitro and in silico evaluation as a novel sub-family of potential allosteric modulators of the 90 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90)
-
Herein we propose a facile, versatile and selective chemo-enzymatic synthesis of substituted (E)-2,3-diaryl-5-styryl-trans-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans based on the exploitation of the laccase-mediated oxidative (homo)coupling of (E)-4-styrylphenols. Thanks to this novel synthetic strategy, a library of benzofuran-based potential allosteric activators of the Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) was easily prepared. Moreover, considering their structural analogies to previously reported allosteric modulators, the sixteen new compounds synthesized in this work were tested in vitro for their potential stimulatory action on the ATPase activity of the molecular chaperone Hsp90. Combining experimental and computational results, we propose a mechanism of action for these compounds, and expand the structure-activity relationship (SAR) information available for benzofuran-based Hsp90 activators.

- Inhibitory effect of cytotoxic stilbenes related to resveratrol on the expression of the VEGF, hTERT and c-Myc genes
-
A group of thirty-nine stilbene derivatives, prepared by means of Heck coupling reactions, has been investigated for their cytotoxicity, as well as for their ability to inhibit the production of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the activation of telomerase. The ability of these compounds to inhibit proliferation of two tumoral cell lines (HT-29 and MCF-7) and one non tumoral cell line (HEK-293) was first determined. Subsequently, we determined the capacity of the compounds to inhibit the secretion of VEGF in the aforementioned cell lines and to downregulate the expression of the VEGF, hTERT and c-Myc genes, the two latter involved in the control of the activation of telomerase. One of the synthetic stilbenes, (E)-4-(4-methoxystyryl)aniline, showed strong cytotoxicity and proved able to cause a marked decrease both in the secretion of VEGF and in the expression of the hTERT and c-Myc genes, in all cases at concentrations in the low nanomolar range.

A one pot general tandem procedure is described for β-aryl and β,β-diaryl alkenes synthesis following an alternative to the classical approaches by using aryl aldehyde as one of the starting materials. The developed polystyrene resin supported palladium(0) (Pd@PR) nanocomposite has been applied in an unprecedented sequential condensation-decarboxylation-Heck (CDH) and condensation-Heck (CH) strategies to generate the substituted alkenes (C6(C6)CC-C, C6-CC-C6, and C6(C6)CC-CO-C6 units) under ligand, and additive free milder basic reaction conditions. The added momentous benefit over the classical methodologies is in terms of its multi-component approach to achieve the desired products without tedious step wise purifications. This journal is

- CuI/1,10-phen/PEG promoted decarboxylation of 2,3-diarylacrylic acids: Synthesis of stilbenes under neutral and microwave conditions with an in situ generated recyclable catalyst

A series of trans- or cis-stilbenes have been synthesized in good to excellent yields via a functional group-dependent decarboxylation process from the corresponding 2,3-diaryl acrylic acids in a neutral CuI/1,10-phen/PEG-400 system under microwave conditions. The in situ generation of the recyclable catalytic complex, the use of environmentally benign solvent PEG-400, the operational simplicity, the short reaction times, as well as the functional group-dependent chemo- and stereo-selectivity have made the decarboxylation process a highly efficient and applicable protocol.

4-Phenol diazonium salts undergo Pd-catalyzed Heck reactions with various styrenes to 4′-hydroxy stilbenes. In almost all cases higher yields and fewer side products were observed, compared to the analogous 4-methoxy benzene diazonium salts. In contrast, the reaction fails completely with 2- and 3-phenol diazonium salts. For these substitution patterns the methoxy-substituted derivatives are superior. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.

- Syntheses of polyfunctionalized resveratrol derivatives using Wittig and Heck protocols
-
Improved protocols for Wittig reaction and palladium-catalyzed Heck coupling give expedient access to a series of unprecedented polyfunctionalized artificial-resveratrol derivatives. In the modified Wittig protocol, trimethylsilyl was used as a highly valuable protective group of the phenolic functions of starting aromatic materials. A clean O-alkylation of hydroxylated stilbenes with ethylene carbonate was also conducted. Thus, Wittig reaction followed by hydroxyethylation take place one-pot with only carbon dioxide as waste. Additionally, a palladium-catalyzed Heck coupling strategy was developed by using ferrocenyl phosphane ligands, and multi-functionalized hydroxylated stilbenes were obtained without the need of any protection/deprotection sequence. Up to six functional groups are introduced by these procedures, which limit the number of reactions steps, the waste toxicity, and the use of costly reagents.

- Extraordinary radical scavengers: 4-mercaptostilbenes
-
In the past decade, there was a great deal of interest and excitement in developing more active antioxidants and cancer chemoprevention agents than resveratrol, a naturally occurring stilbene. In this work, eight resveratrol-directed 4-mercaptostilbenes were constructed based on the inspiration that thiophenol should be a stronger radical scavenger than phenol, and their reaction rates with galvinoxyl (GO.) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH.) radicals in methanol and ethyl acetate were measured by using stopped-flow UV/Vis spectroscopy at 25 °C. Kinetic analysis demonstrates that 4-mercaptostilbenes are extraordinary radical scavengers, and the substitution of the 4-SH group for the 4-OH group in the stilbene scaffold is an important strategy to improve the radical-scavenging activity of resveratrol. Surprisingly, in methanol, some of the 4-mercaptostilbenes are 104-times more active than resveratrol, dozens of times to hundreds of times more effective than known antioxidants (α-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, quercetin, and trolox). The detailed radical-scavenging mechanisms were discussed based on acidified-kinetic analysis. Addition of acetic acid remarkably reduced the GO. and DPPH. radical-scavenging rates of the 4-mercaptostilbenes in methanol, a solvent that supports ionization, suggesting that the reactions proceed mainly through a sequential proton loss electron transfer mechanism. In contrast, an interesting acid-promoted kinetics was observed for the reactions of the 4-mercaptostilbenes with DPPH. in ethyl acetate, a solvent that weakly supports ionization. The increased ratio in rates is closely correlated with the electron-rich environment in the molecules, suggesting that the acceleration could benefit from the contribution of the electron transfer from the 4-mercaptostilbenes and DPPH.. However, the addition of acetic acid had no influence on the GO.-scavenging rates of the 4-mercaptostilbenes in ethyl acetate, due to the occurrence of the direct hydrogen atom transfer. Our results show that the radical-scavenging activity and mechanisms of 4-mercaptostilbenes depends significantly on the molecular structure and acidity, the nature of the attacking radical, and the ionizing capacity of the solvent.

- Laccase-catalyzed dimerization of hydroxystilbenes
-
A series of hydroxystilbenes, analogues of the bioactive phytoalexin resveratrol, were synthesized and submitted to the catalytic action of a laccase from Trametes pubescens in a biphasic system made of ethyl acetate and acetate buffer. Oxidation took place at the 4′-hydroxy (4-hydroxy) position of the hydroxystilbenic moieties, followed by radical-radical coupling dimerization reactions. Most of the products were isolated in good yields and fully characterized. Depending on the substrates, three different dimeric products could be identified, the main products usually being 4-O-α-β-5 (dihydrofuran-like) dimers.

- Stereoselective synthesis of (E)-hydroxystilbenoids by ruthenium-catalyzed cross-metathesis
-
An efficient and highly stereoselective synthetic procedure is reported for the construction of symmetrical and unsymmetrical (E)-polymethoxystilbene and (E)-polyhydroxystilbene derivatives. The strategy rests on a cross-metathesis reaction catalyzed by stable, well-defined (alkylidene)ruthenium complexes, in particular the second-generation Grubbs catalyst [RuCl2(=CHPh)(SIMes) (PCy3)] [SIMes = 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolidin-2- ylidene]. The metathesis of unprotected phenolic styrenes is illustrated by the synthesis of the important phytoalexins (E)-3,4′,5-trihydroxystilbene (resveratrol) and (E)-3,3′,4,5′-tetrahydroxystilbene (piceatannol).
