Propargylic pivaloates bearing an alkynyl group at a three-carbon tether under the gold catalysis would undergo [3,3] rearrangements of propargylic pivaloates followed by tandem [2+2] cyclization to give the corresponding 6-acylbicyclo[3,2,0]hept-6-ens. In continuing work, we prepared various substrates bearing two arms of alkyne-propargylic pivaloates to explore primitive dendrimer concept bicyclic compounds. Finally, we could obtain a series of diasteromeric compounds bearing two arms of 6-acylbicyclo[3,2,0]hept-6-ene groups in high yields.

A series of bis(4-pentylpyridinium) compounds with a variety of spacers between the pyridinium headgroups was synthesised, and the antifungal activity of these compounds was investigated. Lengthening the alkyl spacer between the pentylpyridinium headgroups from 12 to 16 methylene units resulted in increased antifungal activity against C. neoformans and C. albicans, but also resulted in increased hemolytic activity and cytotoxicity against mammalian cells. However, inclusion of an ortho-substituted benzene ring in the centre of the alkyl spacer resulted in decreased cytotoxicity and hemolytic activity, while maintaining antifungal potency. Replacement of the alkyl and aromatic-containing spacers by more hydrophilic ethylene glycol groups resulted in a loss of antifungal activity. Some of the compounds inhibited fungal PLB1 activity, but the low correlation of this inhibition with antifungal potency indicates PLB1 inhibition is unlikely to be the predominant mode of antifungal action of this class of compounds, with preliminary studies suggesting they may act via disruption of fungal mitochondrial function.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of [n]jparacyclophanediols (n = 8-12) was synthesized by samarium-catalyzed pinacol coupling for their ansa-bridge formation. Enantiomerically pure [n]jparacyclophane esters were derived from the diols in a several steps via chiral resolution (for n = 10) or via crystallization-induced asymmetric transformation (for n = 11) by using amino alcohol auxiliaries and their selective cleavages.
