An efficient synthesis of [6]-paradol (1) has been performed in four steps with a 72.0% overall yield. The present method highlights commercially available materials, convenient isolation with multiple crystallization without involving column chromatography, and a high-purity product (more than 99.2%), and it is amenable to large-scale synthesis.

A series of highly enantioselective transformations, such as the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution, were utilized to achieve the complete stereoselective synthesis of β-O-4 lignin dimer models containing the S, G, and H subunits with excellent ee (>99%) and moderate to high yields. This unprecedented synthetic method can be exploited for enzymatic, microbial, and chemical investigations into lignins degradation and depolymerization as related to its stereochemical constitution. Preliminary degradation studies using enantiopure Co(salen) catalysts are also reported.

A catalytic stereoselective total synthesis of centrolobine and engelheptanoxides A and C has been completed via a metal-free catalytic δ-hydroxyalkynone rearrangement to 2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-one and diastereoselective hydrogenation to the all syn-2,4,6-trisubstituted pyran strategy. The onliest required chirality was introduced by Jacobsen kinetic resolution, which further directed the diastereoselective hydrogenation. A first stereoselective synthesis of engelheptanoxide A is also accomplished. The analogues and derivatives of centrolobine and engelheptanoxides prepared were evaluated for antitubercular activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv ATCC 27294.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized, in part, by the misfolding, oligomerization and fibrillization of amyloid-β (Aβ). Evidence suggests that the mechanisms underpinning Aβ oligomerization and subsequent fibrillization are distinct, and may therefore require equally distinct therapeutic approaches. Prior studies have suggested that amide derivatives of ferulic acid, a natural polyphenol, may combat multiple AD pathologies, though its impact on Aβ aggregation is controversial. We designed and synthesized a systematic library of amide derivatives of ferulic acid and evaluated their anti-oligomeric and anti-fibrillary capacities independently. Azetidine tethered, triphenyl derivatives were the most potent anti-oligomeric agents (compound 2i: IC50 = 1.8 μM ± 0.73 μM); notably these were only modest anti-fibrillary agents (20.57% inhibition of fibrillization), and exemplify the poor correlation between anti-oligomeric/fibrillary activities. These data were subsequently codified in an in silico QSAR model, which yielded a strong predictive model of anti-Aβ oligomeric activity (κ = 0.919 for test set; κ = 0.737 for validation set).
