, p. 1856 - 1859 (2016)
Rottlerin, a natural product isolated from Mallotus philippensis, is associated with a range of biological activities. Its chemical structure is featured by two different substituted phloroglucinol units linked by a methylene group. In this study, we accomplished a total synthesis of rottlerin using phenol-aldehyde condensation as the key reaction. By our method, gram-scale preparation of the two structural subunits was achieved, and rottlerin was obtained in a longest eight linear step with 20% overall yield. Our study provides a practical solution for obtaining the sample of rottlerin in an efficient way.

A new class of C-dimethylated-chalcones (9a–q) were synthesized by using 2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-4,6-dimethoxy acetophenone as a key intermediate. The compounds were screened for anti-tubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain (H37Rv) by Microplate Alamar Blue assay (MABA) method at a concentration of 100–0.8 μg/mL. The chalcones, 9a, 9b, 9c, 9k, 9o, and 9p were found to have higher antitubercular activity than the standard drugs, while the remaining compounds showed moderate activity. The antitubercular activity of the chalcones, 9b (MIC90 = 3.98 μM) and 9o (MIC90 = 3.84 μM) was found to be more than two-fold more active than the standard drugs, streptomycin (MIC90 = 10.75 μM) and ciprofloxacin (MIC90 = 9.43 μM), while their antitubercular activity was found to be more than six-fold more active than pyrazinamide (MIC90 = 25.38 μM). Further, the molecular docking studies employing Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein tyrosine phosphatase (MtbPtp) was carried out to observe docking scores.

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.

Methylation with Dimethyl Carbonate/Dimethyl Sulfide Mixtures: An Integrated Process without Addition of Acid/Base and Formation of Residual Salts
Chan, Bun,Lui, Matthew Y.,Lui, Yuen Wai
, (2022/01/08)
Dimethyl sulfide, a major byproduct of the Kraft pulping process, was used as an inexpensive and sustainable catalyst/co-reagent (methyl donor) for various methylations with dimethyl carbonate (as both reagent and solvent), which afforded excellent yields of O-methylated phenols and benzoic acids, and mono-C-methylated arylacetonitriles. Furthermore, these products could be isolated using a remarkably straightforward workup and purification procedure, realized by dimethyl sulfide‘s neutral and distillable nature and the absence of residual salts. The likely mechanisms of these methylations were elucidated using experimental and theoretical methods, which revealed that the key step involves the generation of a highly reactive trimethylsulfonium methylcarbonate intermediate. The phenol methylation process represents a rare example of a Williamson-type reaction that occurs without the addition of a Br?nsted base.

The volatiles emitted by five fungal strains previously isolated from the marine sponge Callyspongia cf. flammea were captured with a closed-loop stripping apparatus (CLSA) and analyzed by GC-MS. Besides several widespread compounds, a series of metabolites with interesting bioactivities were found, including the quorum sensing inhibitor protoanemonin, the fungal phytotoxin 3,4-dimethylpentan-4-olide, and the insect attractant 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene. In addition, the aromatic polyketides isotorquatone and chartabomone that are both known from Eucalyptus and a new O-desmethyl derivative were identified. The biosynthesis of isotorquatone was studied by feeding experiments with isotopically labeled precursors and its absolute configuration was determined by enantioselective synthesis of a reference compound. Bioactivity testings showed algicidal activity for some of the identified compounds, suggesting a potential ecological function in sponge defence.

An electrophilic, coordinatively unsaturated rhodium complex supported by borate-linked oxazoline, oxazoline-coordinated silylene, and N-heterocyclic carbene donors [{κ3-N,Si,C-PhB(OxMe2)(OxMe2SiHPh)ImMes}Rh(H)CO][HB(C6F5)3] (2, OxMe2 = 4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline; ImMes = 1-mesitylimidazole) is synthesized from the neutral rhodium silyl {PhB(OxMe2)2ImMes}RhH(SiH2Ph)CO (1) and B(C6F5)3. The unusual oxazoline-coordinated silylene structure in 2 is proposed to form by rearrangement of an unobserved isomeric cationic rhodium silylene species [{PhB(OxMe2)2ImMes}RhH(SiHPh)CO][HB(C6F5)3] generated by H abstraction. Complex 2 catalyzes reductions of organic carbonyl compounds with silanes to give hydrosilylation products or deoxygenation products. The pathway to these reactions is primarily influenced by the degree of substitution of the organosilane. Reactions with primary silanes give deoxygenation of esters to ethers, amides to amines, and ketones and aldehydes to hydrocarbons, whereas tertiary silanes react to give 1,2-hydrosilylation of the carbonyl functionality. In contrast, the strong Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 catalyzes the complete deoxygenation of carbonyl compounds to hydrocarbons with PhSiH3 as the reducing agent.

Formation of C-C bonds from CO2 is a much sought after reaction in organic synthesis. To date, other than C-H carboxylations using stoichiometric amounts of metals, base, or organometallic reagents, little is known about C-C bond formation. In fact, to the best of our knowledge no catalytic methylation of C-H bonds using CO2 and H2 has been reported. Described herein is the combination of CO2 and H2 for efficient methylation of carbon nucleophiles such as indoles, pyrroles, and electron-rich arenes. Comparison experiments which employ paraformaldehyde show similar reactivity for the CO2/H2 system. Capturing: Carbon dioxide in the presence of H2 is shown to be an efficient methylating reagent for carbon nucleophiles such as 2-substituted indoles, pyrroles, and electron-rich arenes. Experimental data support the formal capture of formaldehyde. acac=acetylacetonate, triphos=1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane.

(Chemical Equation Presented) The first total synthesis of the natural nondimerizing o-quinol (+)-wasabidienone B1 was achieved from commercially available 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene. The key dearomatizing transformation was efficiently accomplished via a hydroxylative phenol dearomatization reaction using the stabilized λ5-iodane reagent IBX (SIBX). (+)-Wasabidienone B1 was then converted into its congener (-)-wasabidienone B0 via an improved thermally induced ring-contracting isomerization reaction.
