Synthesis of Flavanone and Quinazolinone Derivatives from the Ruthenium-Catalyzed Deaminative Coupling Reaction of 2′-Hydroxyaryl Ketones and 2-Aminobenzamides with Simple Amines

The cationic Ru–H complex [(C6H6)(PCy3)(CO)RuH]+BF4– (1) with 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone (L1) was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the deaminative coupling reaction of 2′-hydroxyaryl ketones with simple amines to form 3-substituted flavanone products. The analogous deaminative coupling reaction of 2-aminobenzamides with branched amines directly formed 3,3-disubstituted quinazolinone products. The catalytic method efficiently installs synthetically useful flavanone and quinazolinone core structures without employing any reactive reagents.

Convenient synthesis of flavanone derivatives via oxa-Michael addition using catalytic amount of aqueous cesium fluoride

A total of 36 flavanones, which included polycyclic aromatic and heterocyclic rings, were readily synthesized via oxa-Michael addition from the corresponding hydroxychalcones with a catalytic amount of aqueous cesium fluoride solution under mild conditions. This method could be applied to the scalable synthesis of eriodictyol as a known potent inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

Synthesis of Flavanones via Palladium(II)-Catalyzed One-Pot β-Arylation of Chromanones with Arylboronic Acids

A total of 47 flavanones were expediently synthesized via one-pot β-arylation of chromanones, a class of simple ketones possessing chemically unactivated β sites, with arylboronic acids via tandem palladium(II) catalysis. This reaction provides a novel route to various flavanones, including natural products such as naringenin trimethyl ether, in yields up to 92percent.

Extended Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Ring Systems in the Chalcone-Flavanone Molecular Switch Scaffold

Previous work on the o-hydroxychalcone/flavanone molecular switching scaffold showed that simple substitutions alter the pH range in which rapid interconversion occurs. Herein, more impactful structural modifications were performed via alteration of the characteristic phenyl rings to alternative aromatic systems. It was determined that the scaffold was still viable after these changes and that the range of accessible midpoint pH values was markedly increased. To further explore the switch's scope, scaffolds able to have multiple switching events were also investigated.

Asymmetric intramolecular oxa-Michael addition of activated α,β-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by a chiral N,N′-dioxide nickel(II) complex: Highly enantioselective synthesis of flavanones

(Chemical Equation Presented) The title reaction provides a promising approach for the synthesis of chiral flavanones with broad substrate scope and is tolerant to air and moisture. Good to excellent enantioselectivities and high yields were achieved for most substrates under mild conditions.

Design and synthesis of novel diphenacoum-derived, conformation-restricted vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase inhibitors

Two novel diphenacoum-derived analogues 5 and 6 are designed, synthesized and tested as potential vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase (VKOR) inhibitors. The inhibition studies indicated that 5 is a potent VKOR inhibitor, which confirmed that the replacement of the tetrahydronaphthalene on diphenacoum to a chroman functionality does not have a major impact on inhibition potency. The conformation-restricted compound 6 is a moderate inhibitor which may serve as a lead compound for further study of the mode of action of coumarin-type anticoagulants at the molecular level.
