- Phloroglucinol derivatives as anti-tumor agents: synthesis, biological activity evaluation and molecular docking studies
-
Phloroglucinol compounds isolated from Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Schott showed a variety of biological activities, such as anticancer and anti-inflammatory. In this study, we have made a number of modifications around the scaffold of phloroglucinol and synthesized phloroglucinol derivatives A1–A9, B1–B9, and C1–C3. We synthesized these compounds and investigated their effect on four human cancer cell lines (A-549, MCF-7, Hela, HepG2 cell lines) via MTT assay in vitro. The results revealed that all compounds exhibited certain antiproliferative activities on cancer cell lines and excellent inhibitory effects on MCF-7, in which compound C2 was the best with the IC50 value of 18.49 μM, exceeding that of 5-fluorouracil. Moreover, the cell apoptosis test showed that compound C2 induced apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, the results of molecular docking analysis explained the probable interaction between the active compounds and active sites of target protein 4I22 and 1OG5.

- Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ruthenium: an efficient catalyst for the redox isomerization of functionalized allylic alcohols into carbonyl compounds
-
The catalytic activity of the ruthenium(II) complex [RuCp*(CH3CN)3][PF6] 1 in the transposition of allylic alcohols into carbonyl compounds, in acetonitrile, is reported. This catalyst has proven to be able to catalyze the transformation of poorly reactive and/or functionalized substrates under smooth conditions.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed synthesis of allylic alcohols: Boronic acid as a hydroxide source
-
Secondary allylic alcohols were synthesized from linear allylic halides or carbonates using a catalytic amount of a ruthenium complex in the presence of boronic acid. The effects of solvent, base, ruthenium precursor, and boronic acid were fully explored, and the scope of the reaction was extended to various sub-strates. We also describe a preliminary investigation towards an enantioselective process.

- Studies towards the stereoselective α-hydroxylation of flavanones. Biosynthetic significance
-
The enolates of various propiophenones, chromanones, and also analogues of naturally occurring flavanones were stereoselectively hydroxylated at the ?-position, by employing commercially available enantiopure oxaziridines, to afford the desired ?-hydroxylated target molecules in good to exceptional stereoselectivities and in moderate to good chemical yields. A mechanistic rationale is presented to account for the stereoselectivities achieved. These in vitro results were tentatively related to the stereoselective biosynthesis of enantio-enriched dihydroflavonols while questions were raised about the authenticity of certain natural compounds.

- Evidence that the availability of an allylic hydrogen governs the regioselectivity of the Wacker oxidation
-
The allylic hydrogen is found to have a dramatic effect on the regioselectivity of the Wacker oxidation, leading to the postulation that an agostic hydrogen or enyl (σ + π) complex helps to stabilise the key intermediate.
