Because gossypol and hemigossypol show antiviral activity but are structurally complex, we designed and synthesized a series of structurally simpler phthalide and coumarin derivatives. The phthalide derivatives were synthesized by opening the naphthalene ring of hemigossypol, and the coumarin derivatives were synthesized by ring-opening reactions of the phthalide derivatives with the goal of investigating the effect of the lactone ring size on bioactivity. The bioassay results showed that the two series of target compounds possessed moderate to good activities against tobacco mosaic virus, One of the compounds showed in vivo inactivation, curative, and protection activities of 50 ± 1, 53 ± 3, and 48 ± 2% at 500 mg/L, values which are higher than those of gossypol (32 ± 1, 35 ± 1, 29 ± 1%, respectively) and comparable to those of hemigossypol (55 ± 1, 49 ± 1, and 48 ± 1%, respectively) and the commercial antiviral agent ningnanmycin (56 ± 2, 54 ± 1, 58 ± 1%) at the same dose. Thus, this compound is a promising candidate for the development of new anti-plant-virus agents. In addition, most of the synthesized compounds showed broad-spectrum activity when tested against 14 kinds of phytopathogenic fungi and showed selectivity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Physalospora piricola, and Rhizoctonia cerealis. Moreover, some of the compounds exhibited activity against Plutella xylostella larvae; the two most active compounds exhibited larvicidal activities (LC50) of 4.10 and 5.47 mg/L, respectively. Further studies showed that these compounds also exhibited insecticidal activities against Mythimna separata, Helicoverpa armigera, and Pyrausta nubilalis larvae.

The reaction of methyl o-(2-R-ethynyl)benzoates with hydrazine affords either fused 4-R-methylphthalazin-1-ones or 2-amino-3-R-methylideneisoindolin-1- ones. The latter are on treatment with KOH undergo recyclization into the corresponding 4-R-methylphthalazin- 1-ones.
The first efficient synthesis and optical resolution of monosubstituted cyclotribenzylenes

A new and high yielding synthetic route to monosubstituted cyclotribenzylenes 6 via the cyclocondensation of benzene with a suitably monosubstituted diol 20, obtained from ozonolysis of the corresponding dibenzosuberene precursor 19, was developed for the first time! The dibenzosuberene itself could be readily prepared in large quantities from inexpensive starting materials in five steps. Using this synthetic approach, a mono bromosubstituted cyclotribenzylene 12a was synthesized on large scale. Another four monosubstituted cyclotribenzylenes 21-24 were also prepared either via bromine/lithium exchange followed by subsequent quenching with external electrophiles or a copper mediated reaction with cyanide. These molecules adopt a rigid crown conformation as shown by X-ray analysis and temperature dependent NMR studies. The barrier to inversion is quite high, requiring temperatures well above 120°C before inversion takes place. Futhermore, such monosubstituted cyclotribenzylenes are planar chiral and after optical resolution, using HPLC, we were able to obtain the first planar chiral Cl-symmetric cyclotribenzylenes in form of the optically pure enantiomers of 12a, the CD spectra of which are exact mirror images over the entire spectral range.
