- Chalcones and flavonoids as anti-tuberculosis agents
-
A series of flavonoids, chalcones and chalcone-like compounds were evaluated for inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Among them, eight compounds exhibited >90% inhibition on the growth of the bacteria at a concentration of 12.5 μg/mL. Chalcones 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-propen-1-one (22) and 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(3-iodophenyl)-2-propen-1-one (37) demonstrated 90 and 92% inhibition, respectively. Chalcone-like compounds (heterocyclic ring-substituted 2-propen-1-one) 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(pyridin-3-yl)-2-propen-1-one (48), 1-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(phenanthren-9-yl)-2-propen-1-one (49), 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-3-(phenanthen-9-yl)-2-propen-1-one (50) and 1-(furan-2-yl)-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-one (51) exhibited 98, 97, 96 and 96% inhibition, respectively. The actual minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC), defined as the lowest concentration inhibiting 99% of the inoculum, for 22, 37, 48, 49, 50 and 51 were 20.3, 31.5, 48.3, >35.7, 6.8 and 19.2, respectively. A hydrophobic substituent on one aromatic ring, and a hydrogen-bonding group on the other aromatic ring resulted in increased anti-TB activity of the chalcones and chalcone-like compounds. Flavones and flavanones are more geometrically constrained than the corresponding chalcone analogues. The decreased activity of the flavones with respect to the chalcones may be due to the confinement of the terminal aromatic rings to the same plane.

- Selective C-C bonds formation, N-alkylation and benzo[d]imidazoles synthesis by a recyclable zinc composite
-
Earth abundant metals are much less expensive, promising, valuable metals and could be served as catalysts for the borrowing hydrogen reaction, dehydrogenation and heterocycles synthesis, instead of noble metals. The uniformly dispersed zinc composites were designed, synthesized and carefully characterized by means of XPS, EDS, TEM and XRD. The resulting zinc composite showed good catalytic activity for the N-alkylation of amines with amines, ketones with alcohols in water under base-free conditions, while unsaturated carbonyl compounds could also be synthesized by tuning the reaction conditions. Importantly, it was the first time to realize the synthesis of 2-aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives by using this zinc composite under green conditions. Meanwhile, this zinc catalyst could be easily recovered and reused for at least five times.

- Rapid umpolung Michael addition of isatin N, N ′-cyclic azomethine imine 1,3-dipoles with chalcones
-
The umpolung Michael addition of isatin N,N′-cyclic azomethine imine 1,3-dipoles with chalcones is reported. The reaction could be finished within a very short time (0.3-2 min), with 3,3-disubstituted oxindole derivatives obtained in moderate to excellent yields with promising dr values. Unusual Michael adducts were obtained in moderate to high yields (26-98%) with low to high diastereoselectivities (0.8: 1 to 8.5: 1 dr). All the synthesized compounds (3, 3′, 4, 5, 5′, 7, 7′, 9 and 9′) were well characterized by FTIR, NMR, and mass spectral analyses and further confirmed by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of compounds 3aa and 4n.

A straightforward and general method has been developed for the synthesis of chalcone derivatives by a Claisen-Schmidt reaction in the presence of PPh3/I2 in 1,4-dioxane under reflux temperatures. With the condensation of the aromatic ketone and aldehyde occurring at non-strongly alkaline conditions, our proposed method significantly expands the range of applicable substrates, especially for groups that are unstable under alkaline conditions.

- C3 amino-substituted chalcone derivative with selective adenosine rA1 receptor affinity in the micromolar range
-
Abstract: To identify novel adenosine receptor (AR) ligands based on the chalcone scaffold, herein the synthesis, characterization and in vitro and in silico evaluation of 33 chalcones (15–36 and 37–41) and structurally related compounds (42–47) are reported. These compounds were characterized by radioligand binding and GTP shift assays to determine the degree and type of binding affinity, respectively, against rat (r) A1 and A2A ARs. The chalcone derivatives 24, 29, 37 and 38 possessed selective A1 affinity below 10?μM, and thus, are the most active compounds of the present series; compound 38 was the most potent selective A1 AR antagonist (Ki (r) = 1.6?μM). The structure–affinity relationships (SAR) revealed that the NH2-group at position C3 of ring A of the chalcone scaffold played a key role in affinity, and also, the Br-atom at position C3′ on benzylidene ring B. Upon in vitro and in silico evaluation, the novel C3 amino-substituted chalcone derivative 38—that contains an α,?-unsaturated carbonyl system and easily allows structural modification—may possibly be a synthon in future drug discovery. Graphic abstract: C3 amino-substituted chalcone derivative (38) with C3′ Br substitution on benzylidene ring B possesses selective adenosine rA1 receptor affinity in micromolar range.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Iridium and copper supported on silicon dioxide as chemoselective catalysts for dehydrogenation and borrowing hydrogen reactions
-
High active ligand usually plays an important role during catalysis and synthesis chemistry. A new and efficient benzotriazole-pyridinyl-silane ligand (BPS) was designed, and the corresponding iridium and copper catalysts were synthesized and thoroughly characterized by means of EDS, TEM, and XPS. The resulting iridium composite revealed excellent catalytic activity for the reaction of tert-butanesulfinamide with benzyl alcohols, while copper catalyst could realize the synthesis of unsaturated carbonyl compounds through the reaction of benzyl alcohols with ketones. This provided an efficient method for selective synthesis of unsaturated carbonyl compounds from benzyl alcohols and ketones in high yields with good recovery performance.

- Some thiocarbamoyl based novel anticathepsin agents
-
Cathepsins have emerged as important targets in various tissues degenerative disorders due to their involvement in degradation of extracellular matrices and endogenous protein turnover. Elevated cathepsins levels vis-à-vis decreased concentration of endogenous inhibitors has been reported at different diseased sites. The design and synthesis of specific potential anti-cathepsin agents is therefore of great significance. Most of potential anti-cathepsin agents developed have peptide based structures with an active warhead. Due to oral instability and immunogenic problems related to peptidyl inhibitors drift the synthesis and evaluation of non-peptide cathepsin inhibitors in last two decades. The present work provides a detailed structure activity relationship for developing potential non-peptide anticathepsin agents based on in-vitro inhibition studies of a library of synthesized thiocarbamoyl- non-peptide inhibitors.

An olefinic difunctionalization method of enones was presented hereviaaerobic visible-light catalysis. A novel reactivity was showcased in conjunction with the selective Csp2-C(CO) bond activation of enones, which provided a convenient method for the preparation of various β-thiolated-α-functionalized compounds. Moreover, the preliminary investigation of the mechanism indicated that a β-peroxysulfide intermediate was formed under the promotion of visible light under an oxygen atmosphere, which finally induced the unexpected C-C bond cleavage.

- Diversified Transformations of Tetrahydroindolizines to Construct Chiral 3-Arylindolizines and Dicarbofunctionalized 1,5-Diketones
-
Enantioselective diverse synthesis of a small-molecule collection with structural and functional similarities or differences in an efficient manner is an appealing but formidable challenge. Asymmetric preparation and branching transformations of tetrahydroindolizines in succession present a useful approach to the construction of N-heterocycle-containing scaffolds with functional group, and stereochemical diversity. Herein, we report a breakthrough toward this end via an initial diastereo- A nd enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition between pyridinium ylides and enones, following diversified sequential transformations. Chiral N,N′-dioxide-earth metal complexes enable the generation of optically active tetrahydroindolizines in situ, across the strong background reaction for racemate-formation. In connection with deliberate sequential transformations, involving convenient rearomatic oxidation, and light-active aza-Norrish II rearrangement, the tetrahydroindolizine intermediates were converted into the final library including 3-arylindolizine derivatives and dicarbofunctionalized 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds. More importantly, the stereochemistry of four-stereogenic centered tetrahydroindolizine intermediates could be efficiently transferred into axial chirality in 3-arylindolizines and vicinal pyridyl and aryl substituted 1,5-diketones. In addition, densely functionalized cyclopropanes and bridged cyclic compounds were also discovered depending on the nature of the pyridinium ylides. Mechanism studies were involved to explain the stereochemistry during the reaction processes.

Our method is characterized by low catalyst loading (0.5 mol %) and short reaction times. Moreover, the epoxidation process can be carried out in 10 cycles, without further catalyst addition to the reaction mixture. This methodology significantly enhance the scale of the process using very low catalyst loading.

- On the development of a nucleophilic methylthiolation methodology
-
Methylthiolation reactions are usually explored to access organosulfur compounds using methanethiol, an extremely flammable and toxic compound. Herein, methylthiomethyl esters were successfully applied as novel methylthiolation reagents in a low cost, transition-metal-free methodology. These reagents allowed the methylthiolation of a wide scope of chalcones, acyl ester derivatives and Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates with good group tolerance, affording the methylthiolated products in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction mechanism was investigated through several control experiments, as well as by theoretical calculations employing Density Functional Theory. The results strongly support that a sulfurane and a sulfonium ylide appear as key intermediates and that a Pummerer type rearrangement is also crucial for the formation of this novel reagent. Furthermore, the methylthiolation mechanism is likely to proceed through the nucleophilic attack of the reagent, followed by an entropically favoured step involving the acetate attack to the positively charged species, then releasing the product.

Effect of calcination of tungstophosphoric acid catalyst was evaluated in terms of the synthesis of chalcone derivatives via Claisen-Schmidt condensation using the reaction of acetophenone and several substituted aldehydes. The catalyst was characterized before and after calcination by FT-IR to assess the effectiveness of the synthesis of the desired products. The calcined tungstophosphoric acid catalyst (HPW-CL) showed a better performance and high yield of Claisen-Schmidt products in a short period of time. It was also found out that the calcined tungstophosphoric acid provides a chemo selective, efficient and environmentally benign synthesis of chalcone in an excellent yield in a solvent-free system.

- Studies of NMR Chemical Shifts of Chalcone Derivatives of Five-membered Monoheterocycles and Determination of Aromaticity Indices
-
A series of the chalcone derivatives of the five-membered monoheterocyclic compounds, (E)-1-aryl-3-heteroarylpropen-1-ones, were prepared by aldol condensation of the corresponding aldehydes of thiophene, pyrrole, and furan with m- and p-substituted acetophenones. Similar condensation of the acetyl compounds of the heterocycles with m- and p-substituted benzaldehydes gave another series of the chalcone derivatives, (E)-1-heteroaryl-3-arylpropen-1-ones. The 13C chemical shift values (δC) of the chalcone derivatives were determined in order to find if they correlated with the Hammett σ values. A good correlation, especially for the β-C for both series, was found for the 13C chemical shift values (δC) of the chalcone derivatives with the Hammett σ values. The chemical shift values of the β-C of the heterocyclic compounds were plotted against those of the benzene derivatives. The resulting slopes were found to be close to the values of the aromaticity indices.

In this strategy, after CO release, the in situ generated acetophenones from 1-arylvinyl formates can be successfully applied as a good ketone source in the synthesis of chalcones with benzaldehydes via a palladium-catalyzed reductive carbonylation reaction. A variety of chalcones were isolated in satisfactory to good yields with good substrates compatibilities under mild conditions.

- Transition-Metal-Free Catalytic Formal Hydroacylation of Terminal Alkynes
-
Although hydroacylation is a very useful reaction for producing ketones from aldehydes with 100% atom efficiency, classical Rh-catalyzed hydroacylation presents several problems, including the need for transition metal catalysts, unwanted decarbonylation of aldehydes, and difficulty in regioselectivity control. However, formal hydroacylation utilizing the nucleophilicity of terminal alkynes can avoid these problems. In this work, we have achieved transition-metal-free formal hydroacylation of terminal alkynes using an Mg3Al-CO3-layered double hydroxide as a heterogeneous catalyst. This system was applicable to the efficient synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones with various substituents, and the catalyst can be reused without a significant loss of catalytic performance.

A broad range of substrates has been explored for this process, including three electron-withdrawing group (CO 2 Et, COPh, CN) functionalized phosphonium salts. They reacted not only with benzylic and heteroaromatic alcohols, but also with aliphatic alcohols, forming the corresponding α,β-unsaturated esters, ketones, and nitriles in moderate to excellent yields.

C-C bond-forming reactions are important in chemistry for construction of complex large molecules from readily available simple substrates. However, they usually involve the employment of organic halides and suffer from toxic or environmental issues. We report an efficient and environmentally benign methodology-aerobic oxidative cross-coupling of primary and secondary alcohols-to directly produce α,β-unsaturated ketones that are key intermediates for synthesis of agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and other fine chemicals. A noble-metal-free Co-N-C catalyst, derived from pyrolysis of cobalt-phenanthroline complexes on a mesoporous carbon support, is developed toward the target reactions and shows high catalytic activity (turnover frequency of 3.8 s-1 based on Co single atoms, surpassing the state of art in the literature), good recyclability, and wide applicability to diverse substrates (28 examples). The active sites in the Co-N-C catalyst are proposed to be Co single atoms bonded with N within graphitic sheets.

- PAA-supported Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine ester: An efficient catalyst for the hydrogenation of α,β-epoxy ketones
-
A new type of water-soluble polymer-supported NADH co-enzyme model-PAA (polyacrylic acid)-supported Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine ester (PAA-HEH) was designed and synthesized. Catalytic amount of the supported reagent was used in the hydrogenation of α,β-epoxy ketones to the corresponding β-hydroxy ketones and showed great catalytic efficiency in the reduction reaction. This PAA-HEH was an optimal potential for recycling use.

- Vinylogous organocatalytic triple cascade reaction: Forging six stereocenters in complex spiro-oxindolic cyclohexanes
-
We report a triple vinylogous cascade reaction, yielding valuable spiro-oxindolic cyclohexane derivatives. The three-component domino process proceeds by way of a catalyzed Michael/1,6-addition/vinylogous aldol sequence affording the products with six stereogenic centers and very high control over the stereochemistry. The chemistry is based on a rare example of asymmetric 1,6-addition to linear 2,4-dienals proceeding with complete δ-site selectivity. Key to the reaction development was a directing group positioned at the β-dienal position, which was essential for achieving highly predictable reaction outcomes. Copyright

- Synthesis of chalcones with anticancer activities
-
Several chalcones were synthesized and their in vitro cytotoxicity against various human cell lines, including human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7, human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549, human prostate cancer cell line PC3, human adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 (colorectal cancer) and human normal liver cell line WRL-68 was evaluated. Most of the compounds being active cytotoxic agents, four of them with minimal IC50 values were chosen and studied in detail with MCF-7 cells. The compounds 1, 5, 23, and 25 were capable in eliciting apoptosis in MCF-7 cells as shown by multiparameter cytotoxicity assay and caspase-3/7, -8, and -9 activities (p 0.05). The ROS level showed 1.3-fold increase (p 0.05) at the low concentrations used and thus it was concluded that the compounds increased the ROS level eventually leading to apoptosis in MCF-7 cells through intrinsic as well as extrinsic pathways.

- Nanocasting, Template Synthesis, and Structural Studies on Cesium Salt of Phosphotungstic Acid for the Synthesis of Novel 1,3,5-Triaryl-pyrazoline Derivatives
-
The elimination of the silica matrix of composites by HF occurred by a two-step reaction deposition of a Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 (CsHPW) salt nanocrystal. We used 2D hexagonal SBA-15 silica as a template for the nanofabrication of CsHPW nanoparticles. Nanocast CsHPW materials are stable against leaching and colloidization in polar solvents. The catalytic performance of the nanocast CsHPW materials exceeded that of bulk Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40, which is the most active among the acidic HPW salts. A series of novel 1,3,5-triaryl-pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized by the reaction between chalcone and phenylhydrazine in high yield in the presence of CsHPW salt nanocrystals.

- Synthesis, characterization, antiamoebic activity and cytotoxicity of novel series of pyrazoline derivatives bearing quinoline tail
-
The cyclization of chalcones (1a-1j) with 2-(quinolin-8-yloxy) acetohydrazide (2) under basic condition led to the formation of new compounds, pyrazoline derivatives (3a-3j). In vitro antiamoebic activity was performed against HM1: IMSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica. The results showed that the compounds 3d, 3g, 3h, and 3j exhibited promising antiamoebic activity (IC 50 = 0.05 μM, 0.31 μM, 0.06 μM, 0.29 μM) respectively than the standard drug metronidazole (IC50 = 1.84 μM). The toxicological studies of these compounds on human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line showed that all the compounds 3d, 3g, 3h, 3j and metronidazole were nontoxic at the concentration range of 1.56-50 μM.
