An efficient tandem synthesis of chromones from: O -bromoaryl ynones and benzaldehyde oxime

An effective transition-metal-free strategy was developed for the preparation of chromones from o-bromoaryl ynones and benzaldehyde oxime through sequential C-O bond formation. This cyclization reaction could well tolerate a wide range of functional groups, and the corresponding chromones were given in moderate to excellent yields. Mechanistically, benzaldehyde oxime as a hydroxide source and 1,3-diketone derivatives as reaction intermediates were involved in this transformation.

Robust alkyl-bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complexes anchored on Merrifield's resin as active catalysts for the selective synthesis of flavones and alkynones

Highly active and efficient propylene-bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complexes covalently anchored on Merrifield's resin were synthesized and characterized using various physical and spectroscopic techniques. The two anchored Pd(II) complexes consist of the system: Merrifield's resin-linker-bis(NHC)Pd(II), the linkers being benzyl and benzyl-O-(CH2)3 for (Pd-NHC1@M) and (Pd-NHC2@M), respectively. The short linker anchored bis-benzimidazolium ligand precursor (PBBI-1@M) was synthesized via direct carbon–nitrogen alkylation of a propylene-bridged bis(benzimidazole) (PBBI-1) by Merrifield's resin chlorobenzyl group. The longer linker anchored bis-benzimidazolium ligand precursor (PBBI-2@M) was obtained in a two-step reaction involving first alkylation of (PBBI-1) with 3-chloro-1-propanol followed by a nucleophilic substitution at Merrifield's resin chlorobenzyl group. Both supported ligand precursors (PBBI-1@M and PBBI-2@M) reacted with palladium acetate to produce the two heterogeneous catalysts (Pd-NHC1@M) and (Pd-NHC2@M). 13C NMR palladation shift of the benzimidazole N–C–N (C2) carbon was found very similar in both the liquid NMR spectra of the homogeneous complexes and the CP/MASS spectra of the corresponding covalently anchored complexes. The catalytic activity, stability, and the recycling ability of the supported catalysts have been investigated in the carbonylative Sonogashira coupling reactions of aryl iodides with aryl alkynes and alkyl alkynes and also in the cyclocarbonylative Sonogashira coupling reactions of aryl iodides with aryl alkynes via one pot reactions. The longer linker catalyst Pd-NHC2@M demonstrated excellent catalytic activity, stability, and very high recycling ability in the two carbonylative coupling reactions. These systems exhibit the hypothesized thermodynamic stability offered by the chelate effect in addition to the strong sigma donor ability of a bis(NHC) ligand system generating electron-rich palladium centers that favor the oxidative addition step of the aryl halide.

Rh(III)-Catalyzed Aldehydic C?H Functionalization Reaction between Salicylaldehydes and Sulfoxonium Ylides

A novel aldehydic C?H functionalization reaction between salicylaldehydes and sulfoxonium ylides has been developed under rhodium(III) catalysis, affording coupling products in moderate to good yields. A plausible mechanism involving aldehydic C(sp2)?H activation by rhodium(III) and rhodium(III) catalyzed carbene insertion is also proposed. It was also found that the aldehydic C?H functionalization followed by dehydrative cyclization was able to produce flavonoids in one-pot. (Figure presented.).

Unified Approach to (Thio)chromenones via One-Pot Friedel-Crafts Acylation/Cyclization: Distinctive Mechanistic Pathways of β-Chlorovinyl Ketones

A facile synthetic method to chromenones and thiochromenones has been developed using a one-pot Friedel-Crafts acylation of alkynes with suitably substituted benzoyl chlorides. This unified approach to (thio)chromenones is readily applicable to aryl- and alkylalkynes where the stereochemically well-defined β-chlorovinyl ketone intermediates undergo distinctively different cyclization pathways. The ready availability of both starting materials, alkynes and benzoyl chlorides, coupled with the experimental simplicity makes the current synthetic method to (thio)chromenones fast, efficient, and practical.

Identification and structure activity relationship of novel flavone derivatives that inhibit the production of nitric oxide and PGE2 in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells

In an effort to identify novel anti-inflammatory compounds, a series of flavone derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their inhibitory effects on the production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), representative pro-inflammatory mediators, in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Their structure-activity relationship was also investigated. In particular, we found that compound 3g displayed more potent inhibitory activities on PGE2 production, similar inhibitory activities on NO production and less weak cytotoxicity than luteolin, a natural flavone known as a potent anti-inflammatory agent.

Highly efficient synthesis of flavones: Via Pd/C-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation of 2-iodophenol with terminal acetylenes

A highly efficient and selective Pd/C-catalyzed ligand-free cyclocarbonylation reaction for the synthesis of flavones has been developed. Various flavone derivatives were isolated in excellent yields with excellent functional group tolerances. Additionally, catalyst reuse experiments were performed successfully as well.

A versatile approach to flavones via a one-pot Pd(II)-catalyzed dehydrogenation/oxidative boron-Heck coupling sequence of chromanones

A variety of flavones were expediently synthesized from readily accessible chromanones via a one-pot sequence involving Pd(ii)-catalyzed dehydrogenation and oxidative boron-Heck coupling with arylboronic acid pinacol esters. In particular, the use of arylboronic acid pinacol esters was found to significantly improve the yield of the reaction.

Pd(OAc)2/S=PPh3 accelerated activation of gem-dichloroalkenes for the construction of 3-arylchromones

The Pd-catalyzed regioselective intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of gem-dichloroalkene derivatives with salicylaldehydes leading to the synthesis of 3-arylchromones has been developed. Pd(OAc)2/S=PPh3 could activate gem-dichloroalkenes and undergo nucleophilic substitution by salicylaldehydes with the aid of a base.

Construction of the flavones and aurones through regioselective carbonylative annulation of 2-bromophenols and terminal alkynes

The easily available and efficient catalyst containing a benzimidazolium ligand and PdCl2(PPh3)2 demonstrated excellent catalytic activity to construct the flavones and aurones, respectively. This reaction can be operated under mild conditions, affording the desired products in moderate to good yields. This protocol was used to prepare the flavones and aurones by a slight modification of amines.

Synthetic approach to flavanones and flavones via ligand-free palladium(ii)-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to chromones

The remarkable catalytic effects of Fe(OTf)3 in the context of the Pd(ii)-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to chromones were observed to yield a variety of flavanones under mild conditions. The addition of catalytic amounts of DDQ and KNO2 to the reactions exclusively yielded flavone analogs. The reaction scope for the transformation was fairly broad, affording good yields of a wide range of flavanones and flavones, which are privileged structures in many biologically active compounds.
