Ac2O-Mediated Dearylacetylative Dimerization of 2-Arylacetyl-1-naphthols: Synthesis of Naphtho[1,2-b]furan-3-ones

A novel and efficient route for the synthesis of 2-Aryl-2-naphthyl naphtho[1,2-b]furan-3-ones is described via NaH/Ac2O-mediated dearylacetylative dimerization of 2-Arylacetyl-1-naphthols in refluxing THF under open-flask conditions. A plausibl

Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of o-Hydroxyphenyl Ketones: Utilizing Directing Effects That Optimize the Asymmetric Synthesis of Challenging Alcohols

A systematic range of o-hydroxyphenyl ketones were reduced under asymmetric transfer hydrogenation conditions using the C3-tethered catalyst 2. Two directing effects, i.e., an o-hydroxyphenyl coupled to a bulky aromatic on the opposite side of the ketone substrate, combine in a matched manner to deliver reduction products with very high enantiomeric excess.

Synthesis of 7-hydroxy-6H-naphtho[2,3-c]coumarinviaa TsOH-mediated tandem reaction

A concise and efficient method for the synthesis of 7-hydroxy-6H-naphtho[2,3-c]coumarin using available 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenylethanone and Meldrum's acid has been developed. This transformation involved a tandem aldol reaction/lactonization/Friedel-Crafts reaction to form a lactone ring and a benzene ring. It showed high atom economy with water and acetone as the byproducts. Mechanism studies demonstrated two roles of Meldrum's acid: (i) as the reagent for the tandem reaction, and (ii) as the catalyst for the Friedel-Crafts reaction. Moreover, the hydroxyl group of 7-hydroxy-6H-naphtho[2,3-c]coumarin was further functionalized efficiently by arylethynyl, aryl, and cyano groups to furnish D-π-A compounds with excellent fluorescence emissions (ΦF= 0.14-0.78).

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Direct Asymmetric Reductive Amination of Diaryl and Sterically Hindered Ketones with Ammonium Salts and H2

A Ru-catalyzed direct asymmetric reductive amination of ortho-OH-substituted diaryl and sterically hindered ketones with ammonium salts is reported. This method represents a straightforward route toward the synthesis of synthetically useful chiral primary diarylmethylamines and sterically hindered benzylamines (up to 97 % yield, 93–>99 % ee). Elaborations of the chiral amine products into bioactive compounds and a chiral ligand were demonstrated through manipulation of the removable and convertible -OH group.

Ascorbic Acid Promoted Oxidative Arylation of Vinyl Arenes to 2-Aryl Acetophenones without Irradiation at Room Temperature under Aerobic Conditions

A convenient and general protocol for oxidative arylation of vinyl arenes by aryl radicals generated in situ from arene diazonium fluoroborates promoted by ascorbic acid in air at room temperature has been developed in the absence of any additive and visible light irradiation. A series of diversely substituted 2-aryl acetophenones have been obtained in good yields by this procedure.

Palladium-catalyzed direct C-H arylation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes with organic halides in neat water

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes with organic halides proceeds in the presence of n-Bu4NBr in H2O producing the corresponding 2-hydroxybenzophenones in high yields.

3-Ylidenephthalides as a new class of transient receptor potential channel TRPA1 and TRPM8 modulators

Following the recent identification of the naturally occurring 3-ylidene-4,5-dihydrophthalide ligustilide and its oxidation product dehydroligustilide as novel TRPA1 modulators, a series of seventeen 3-ylidenephthalides was synthesized and tested on TRPA1 and TRPM8 channels. Most of these compounds acted as strong modulators of the two channel types with EC50 and/or IC50 values distinctly lower than those of the reference compounds.
