Abstract: α,α′-bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones were efficiently prepared from variously substituted aldehydes and cycloalkanones in water by using ash of pomegranate peels (APP) as a catalyst. The APP-catalyst was obtained from bio-waste by simple thermal treatment to dry peels of pomegranate fruit and formation of its active phase was confirmed by FT-IR, XRD, XRF, EDX, SEM, DSC-TGA and BET techniques. The analysis revealed that the present catalyst has basic sites which promote the synthesis of desired products. The main attractions of our protocol are utilization of highly abundant bio-waste-derived catalyst and good-to-excellent yield in shortest reaction time. This green protocol was further extended for structurally diverse 2-arylidene-1-tetralones by condensation of equimolar quantity of aromatic aldehydes and 1-tetralone at low temperature. The catalyst could be quantitatively recovered and reused effectively for five times. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Various 2,6-dibenzylidenecycloalkanones were readily prepared in a condensation reaction catalyzed by 2-hydroxyethylammonium acetate ionic liquid under solvent-free conditions in excellent yields. The major advantages of the present method are high yields, short reaction times, lack of solvent, simplicity of performance, and low cost. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

A series of bis-(arylmethylidene)-cycloalkanones was synthesized by cross-aldol condensation. The activity of the compounds was evaluated against amastigotes forms of Trypanosoma cruzi and promastigotes forms of Leishmania amazonensis. The cytotoxicity of the active compounds on uninfected fibroblasts or macrophages was established in vitro to evaluate the selectivity of their antiparasitic effects. Six compounds displayed trypanocidal activity against amastigotes intracellular forms of T. cruzi with IC50 values ranging from 7.0 to 249 μM. Besides these six compounds, eight other molecules exhibited significant leishmanicidal activity (IC50 values ranging from 0.6 to 110.4 μM). Two compounds can be considered as promising antiparasitic lead molecules because they showed IC50 values in the low-micromolar range (≤1.2 μM) with an adequate SI (≥19.9). To understand the mechanism of action of these compounds, two possible molecular targets were investigated: trypanothione reductase (TR) and cruzain.
