Synthesis and properties of anti/syn-regioisomeric mixtures of alkyl-substituted tetracenes

We prepared anti/syn-regioisomeric mixtures of alkyl-substituted tetracenes via Diels-Alder reaction between asymmetric furans and 2,6-naphthodiyne synthon. The solid-state color of the mixtures changed before and after recrystallization from Et2O, suggesting a difference in the molecular arrangements dependent on the different alkyl substituents as well as the change in the distribution of the anti/syn regioisomers after recrystallization. Slow evaporation of the recrystallized mixtures produced single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis, which revealed that the anti regioisomer was isolated.

Cytotoxic polyacetylenes isolated from the roots and rhizomes of Notopterygium incisum

Phytochemical investigation on the roots and rhizomes of Notopterygium incisum led to the isolation of a new polyacetylene, notopolyenol A (1), along with thirteen known analogues (2–14). Their structures were elucidated by extensive analyses of NMR and HRMS data, and the absolute configuration of 1 was unambiguously determined as 3R by comparison of its retention time and ECD curve with those of synthetic enantiomers (?)-1 and (+)-1, whose absolute configurations were established by using the modified Mosher's method. Subsequent activity screening revealed that (3S)-1 exhibited the most significant cytotoxicity against MCF-7, H1299, and HepG2 cancer cells with IC50 values of 1.3 μmol/L, 0.6 μmol/L and 1.4 μmol/L, respectively.

Nickel complex catalyzed efficient activation of sp3and sp 2c-h bonds for alkylation and arylation of oxygen containing heterocyclic molecules

A nickel(II) complex (1) of N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,6- pyridinedicarboxamido (L) ligand was examined for catalytic coupling of Grignard reagents with the C-H bond of oxygen containing heterocyclic compounds such as tetrahydrofuran and furan. The nickel( II) complex showed excellent activity in catalyzing C-H activation and further coupling with various Grignard reagents. The effective activation of the C-H bond proceeded under ambient reaction conditions with a short reaction time (1-2 h). The catalyst (1) displays high turnover frequency of 4,130 h-1with catalyst loading as low as 0.01 mol%. This catalytic route could prove to be an efficient mode of activation of sp3and sp2C-H bonds in various heterocycles for the preparation of synthetically and pharmaceutically relevant molecules.
