Mild and efficient one-pot synthesis of diverse flavanone derivatives via an organocatalyzed Mannich-type reaction

A facile ethylenediamine diacetate (EDDA)-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of biologically interesting flavanone derivatives from 2-hydroxyacetophenones, aromatic aldehydes, and aniline via a Mannich-type reaction is described. This synthetic method provides a rapid access to biologically interesting flavanone derivatives. To demonstrate this method, several biologically interesting natural products bearing a flavanone moiety were synthesized as racemates.

Impact of mono- and disubstitution on the colorimetric dynamic covalent switching chalcone/flavanone scaffold

The effect of aryl substitution on various aspects of the interconversion of ortho-hydroxychalcones and flavanones has been studied using multiple spectroscopic techniques. Derivatization of the core scaffold predictably alters the midpoint pH of this equilibration process suggesting its viability for application as a functional colorimetric molecular switch.

Synthesis and aromatase inhibitory activity of flavanones

Purpose. Aromatase inhibitors are known to prevent the conversion of androgens to estrogens and play a significant role in the treatment of estrogen dependent diseases such as breast cancer. Some flavonoids have been reported as potent aromatase inhibitors; therefore, in an effort to develop novel anti breast cancer agents, B ring substituted flavanones with a 7-methoxy group on A ring were synthesized and tested to assess their ability to inhibit aromatase activity and to determine the optimal B ring substitution pattern. Methods. A series of flavanones was prepared by cyclisation of 2′hydroxychalcones previously obtained by Claisen-Schmidt condensation and the aromatase inhibitory activity of these compounds was investigated using human placental microsomes and radiolabeled [1,2,6,7-3H]-androstenedione as substrate. Results. Almost all flavanones exhibited inhibitory effect on the aromatase activity but their potency was dependent on their B ring substitution pattern. Hydroxylation at position 3′ and/or 4′ enhanced the anti-aromatase activity; thus, 3′,4′-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone was found to be twice more potent than aminoglutethimide, the first aromatase inhibitor clinically used. Conclusions. These results indicated that these flavanones could be considered as potential anti breast cancer agents through the inhibition of aromatase activity and allowed us to select some of these compounds as skeleton for the development of flavonoid structurally-related aromatase inhibitors.

Cyclodehydrogenation of 2'-Hydroxychalcones with DDQ: A Simple Route for Flavones and Aurones

The oxidation of 2'-hydroxychalcones with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone provides a useful synthetic route for flavones and aurones.
