The conformational behavior and structural stability of (2E)-3-phenylprop-2-enoic anhydride were investigated by using density functional theory. Seventeen possible stable conformations of the title compound were determined and verified with their calcula

To design an anticancer drug capable of inhibiting not only the proliferation of the differentiated tumor cells but also reducing the tumorigenic capability of cancer stem cells (CSCs), the new PtIV prodrugs with axial cinnamate ligands were sy

Flavinium salts are frequently used in organocatalysis but their application in photoredox catalysis has not been systematically investigated to date. We synthesized a series of 5-ethyl-1,3-dimethylalloxazinium salts with different substituents in the positions 7 and 8 and investigated their application in light-dependent oxidative cycloelimination of cyclobutanes. Detailed mechanistic investigations with a coumarin dimer as a model substrate reveal that the reaction preferentially occurs via the triplet-born radical pair after electron transfer from the substrate to the triplet state of an alloxazinium salt. The very photostable 7,8-dimethoxy derivative is a superior catalyst with a sufficiently high oxidation power (E=2.26 V) allowing the conversion of various cyclobutanes (with Eox up to 2.05 V) in high yields. Even compounds such as all-trans dimethyl 3,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)cyclobutane-1,2-dicarboxylate can be converted, whose opening requires a high activation energy due to a missing pre-activation caused by bulky adjacent substituents in cis-position.

Pt(iv) prodrugs have gained tremendous attention due to their indisputable advantages compared to cisplatin. Herein, new Pt(iv) derivatives with cinnamic acid at the first axial position, and inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and-9, histone deacetylase, cyclooxygenase or pyruvate dehydrogenase at the second axial position are constructed to develop multi-action prodrugs. We demonstrate that Pt(iv) prodrugs are reducible and have superior antiproliferative activity with IC50 values at submicromolar concentrations. Notably, Pt(iv) prodrugs exhibit highly potent anti-tumour activity in an in vivo breast cancer model. Our results support the view that a triple-action Pt(iv) prodrug acts via a synergistic mechanism, which involves the effects of CDDP and the effects of axial moieties, thus jointly leading to the death of tumour cells. These findings provide a practical strategy for the rational design of more effective Pt(iv) prodrugs to efficiently kill tumour cells by enhancing their cellular accumulation and tuning their canonical mechanism.

We report herein an atroposelective N-acylation of sulfonamides using a commercially available isothiourea catalyst, (S)-HBTM, with a simple procedure. The N-sulfonyl anilide products can be obtained in good to high enantiopurity, which represents a new axially chiral scaffold. The application of the product as a chiral iodine catalyst is also demonstrated for the asymmetric α-oxytosylation of propiophenone.

A versatile Rh(i)-catalyzed C6-selective decarbonylative C-H alkenylation of 2-pyridones with readily available, and inexpensive alkenyl carboxylic acids has been developed. This directed dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction affords 6-alkenylated 2-pyridones that would otherwise be difficult to access using conventional C-H functionalization protocols. The reaction occurs with high efficiency and is tolerant of a broad range of functional groups. A wide scope of alkenyl carboxylic acids, including challenging conjugated polyene carboxylic acids, are amenable to this transformation and no addition of external oxidant is required. Mechanistic studies revealed that (1) Boc2O acts as the activator for the in situ transformation of the carboxylic acids into anhydrides before oxidative addition by the Rh catalyst, (2) a decarbonylation step is involved in the catalytic cycle, and (3) the C-H bond cleavage is likely the turnover-limiting step.
Substituted cinnamic anhydrides act as selective inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase

Cinnamic anhydrides have been shown to be more than reactive reagents, but they also act as inhibitors of the enzyme acetylcholinesterease (AChE). Thus, out of a set of 33 synthesised derivatives, several of them were mixed type inhibitors for AChE (from electric eel). Thus, (E)-3-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylic anhydride (2c) showed Ki = 8.30 ± 0.94 μM and Ki′ = 9.54 ± 0.38 μM, and for (E)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)acrylic anhydride (2u) Ki = 8.23 ± 0.93 μM and Ki′ = 13.07 ± 0.46 μM were measured. While being not cytotoxic to many human cell lines, these compounds showed an unprecedented and noteworthy inhibitory effect for AChE but not for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE).

An operationally simple isothiourea-catalysed acylative kinetic resolution of unprotected 1,1′-biaryl-2,2′-diol derivatives has been developed to allow access to axially chiral compounds in highly enantioenriched form (s values up to 190). Investigation of the reaction scope and limitations provided three key observations: i) the diol motif of the substrate was essential for good conversion and high s values; ii) the use of an α,α-disubstituted mixed anhydride (2,2-diphenylacetic pivalic anhydride) was critical to minimize diacylation and give high selectivity; iii) the presence of substituents in the 3,3′-positions of the diol hindered effective acylation. This final observation was exploited for the highly regioselective acylative kinetic resolution of unsymmetrical biaryl diol substrates bearing a single 3-substituent. Based on the key observations identified, acylation transition state models have been proposed to explain the atropselectivity of this kinetic resolution.

We report a phosphine-mediated direct β-acylation of α,β-unsaturated 1,3-diketones with acyl chlorides and a base. Functionalized furanones were also prepared by the reaction of cinnamic acid and acyl chloride according to our protocol via β-acylation. Our studies revealed that α,β-unsaturated 1,3-diketones with an electron-donating group at the second position favor the formation of β-acylated products, whereas those with oxygen, such as anhydrides, favor furanones via an unprecedented C-acylation/cyclization sequence.

A transition-metal-free oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction has been developed for the preparation of symmetrical carboxylic anhydrides through self-coupling dual C-O bond formations of aryl methanols. In the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrabutylphosphonium bromide (TBPB) as transfer agent and aqueous tert -butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant and reactant, methylene groups of aryl methanols were efficiently oxidized to C=O and coupled with the peroxide oxygen from TBHP to form a diverse array of symmetrical carboxylic anhydride derivatives.
