The total syntheses of all stereoisomers of notoincisol A, a recently isolated natural product with potential anti-inflammatory activity, are reported. The asymmetric synthesis was conducted employing a lipase-mediated kinetic resolution, which enables easy access to all required chiral building blocks with the aim of establishing the absolute configuration of the naturally occurring isomer. This was achieved by comparison of optical properties of the isolated compound with the synthetic derivatives obtained. Moreover, an assessment of the biological activity on PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) as a prominent receptor related to inflammation is reported. Only the natural isomer was found to activate the PPARγ receptor, and this phenomenon could be explained based on molecular docking studies. In addition, the pharmacological profiles of the isomers were determined using the GABAA (gamma-aminobutyric acid A) ion channel receptor as a representative target for allosteric modulation related to diverse CNS activities. These compounds were found to be weak allosteric modulators of the α1β3 and α1β2γ2 receptor subtypes.

A general approach to medium ring alkynes by using metathesis of cobalt hexacarbonyl containing dienes
Young, David G. J.,Burlison, Joseph A.,Peters, Ulf
, p. 3494 - 3497 (2003)
The assembly of medium sized rings (7-9) was achieved by using the metathesis of dienes linked by a cobalt hexacarbonyl complexed alkyne with either Grubbs' or Schrock's catalysts. The products of metathesis were subjected to transformations involving the dicobalt hexacarbonyl complexes, for example, decomplexation to liberate cyclic alkynes or Pauson-Khand reaction.

Literature reports describe tetraethynylethylene (TEE) as unstable but tetravinylethylene (TVE) as stable. The stabilities of these two known compounds are reinvestigated, along with those of five unprecedented TEE-TVE hybrid compounds. The five new C10 hydrocarbons possess a core, tetrasubstituted C=C bond carrying all possible combinations of vinyl and ethynyl groups. A unified strategy is described for their synthesis, whereupon cross-conjugated ketones are dibromo-olefinated then cross-coupled. Due to an incorrect but nonetheless widely held belief that acyclic π-bond rich hydrocarbons are inherently unstable, a standardized set of robustness tests is introduced. Whereas only TVE survives storage in neat form, all seven hydrocarbons are remarkably robust in dilute solution, generally surviving exposure to moderate heat, light, air, and acid. The first X-ray crystal structure of TEE is reported. Subgroups of hybrids based upon conformational preferences are identified through electronic absorption spectra and associated computational studies. These new acyclic π-bond rich systems have extensive, untapped potential for the production of stable, conjugated carbon-rich materials.
