American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease) caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite, is a severe health problem in different regions of Latin America and is currently reported to be spreading to Europe, North America, Japan, and Australia, due to the migration of populations from South and Central America. At present, there is no vaccine available and chemotherapeutic options are reduced to nifurtimox and benznidazole. Therefore, the discovery of new molecules is urgently needed to initiate the drug development process. Some acetophenones and chalcones, as well as chromane-type substances, such as chromones and flavones, are natural products that have been studied as trypanocides, but the relationships between structure and activity are not yet fully understood. In this work, 26 compounds were synthesized to determine the effect of hydroxyl and isoprenyl substituents on trypanocide activity. One of the compounds showed interesting activity against a resistant strain of T. cruzi, with a half effective concentration of 18.3 μM ± 1.1 and an index of selectivity > 10.9.
Iron-catalyzed arene C-H hydroxylation

, p. 77 - 81 (2021/10/05)
The sustainable, undirected, and selective catalytic hydroxylation of arenes remains an ongoing research challenge because of the relative inertness of aryl carbon-hydrogen bonds, the higher reactivity of the phenolic products leading to over-oxidized by-products, and the frequently insufficient regioselectivity. We report that iron coordinated by a bioinspired L-cystine-derived ligand can catalyze undirected arene carbon-hydrogen hydroxylation with hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant. The reaction is distinguished by its broad substrate scope, excellent selectivity, and good yields, and it showcases compatibility with oxidation-sensitive functional groups, such as alcohols, polyphenols, aldehydes, and even a boronic acid. This method is well suited for the synthesis of polyphenols through multiple carbon-hydrogen hydroxylations, as well as the late-stage functionalization of natural products and drug molecules.

Paragraph 0035-0076, (2020/07/13)
The invention relates to a preparation method of 7,8-dihydroxy flavone, and belongs to the technical field of synthesis of medical intermediates. The preparation method comprises the following steps:by taking pyrogallol as a raw material, introducing an acetyl group to synthesize DHF1; protecting three phenolic hydroxyl groups to synthesize DHF2; selectively reducing the ortho-hydroxyl group of the acetyl group to synthesize DHF3; carrying out an aldol condensation reaction on DHF3 and benzaldehyde to prepare DHF4; carrying out a cyclization reaction under the condition of iodine catalysis toobtain DHF5; and finally carrying out a hydrolysis reaction to generate the final product. The method is simple and convenient to operate, reasonable in reaction process, low in production cost, goodin product quality, free of environmental pollution and suitable for industrial production, wherein the content of the product is higher than 98%.

Aluminum triiodide is harnessed by N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) for the selective cleavage of ethers via neighboring group participation. Various acid-labile functional groups, including carboxylate, allyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS), and tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), suffer the conditions intact. The method offers an efficient approach to cleaving catechol monoalkyl ethers and to uncovering phenols from acetal-type protecting groups such as methoxymethyl (MOM), methoxyethoxymethyl (MEM), and tetrahydropyranyl (THP) chemoselectively.

Synthetic biflavonoids are associated with interesting biological activities, yet they remain poorly explored within drug discovery. Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in synthetic approaches that can provide access to structurally novel biflavonoids so that the biological usefulness of this compound class can be more fully investigated. Herein, we report upon the exploration of strategies based around Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and alcohol methylenation for the synthesis of two classes of biflavonoids: (i) rare ‘hybrid’ derivatives containing flavonoid monomers belonging to different subclasses, and (ii) homodimeric compounds in which the two flavonoid monomers are linked by a methylenedioxy group. Application of these strategies enabled the preparation of a structurally diverse collection of novel biflavonoids from readily-available starting materials, thereby facilitating the probing of uncharted regions of biologically interesting chemical space.

Dihydrochalcones and 5-deoxyflavones are types of compounds possessing various biologically interesting properties. Herein, we report the concise and divergent total syntheses of several naturally occurring dihydrochalcones and 5-deoxyflavones from readily available starting materials. The divergent strategy is based around manipulation of a common chalcone scaffold and features application of Algar-Flynn-Oyamada oxidation and benzoquinone C-H activation methodologies. These are the first reported total syntheses of these biologically interesting compounds and the concise and flexible route should be readily amenable to future analogue generation. Furthermore, this work provides an illustration of the utility of divergent synthesis for the expedient and step-economical preparation of natural product libraries.

A set of new polyoxo 2-benzyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans and their related compounds, including 2-benzylbenzofuran-3(2H)-ones and 2-benzylbenzofurans, were designed and synthesized. Their antiproliferative activities were evaluated against human gastric cancer (SGC-7901), human fibrosarcoma (HT-1080) and human oral epidermoid carcinoma (KB) cell lines in vitro. Preliminary results showed that some polyoxo 2-benzyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans and their related compounds had significant activity comparable with that of cisplatin. 2013 Bentham Science Publishers.

An efficient chemo-enzymatic approach towards variably functionalized benzotropolones
Baisch, Gabi,Wagner, Barbara,?hrlein, Reinhold
scheme or table, p. 3742 - 3748 (2010/07/04)
An efficient three-step synthesis for benzotropolones via three catalytic steps is presented. Pyrogallol phenones are formed in the first step starting from pyrogallol, which is acylated by proton-catalysis. Catalytic hydrogenation of the phenones yields the corresponding alkylated pyrogallyl dervatives. In the final enzyme-catalyzed step the pyrogallol derivatives are annulated to form the benzotropolone cores. An alternative pathway via the Pechmann reaction is also presented. The combination of the three catalytic steps gives access to a wide range of benzotropolone congeners.

Some pyrogallol and catechol derivatives were synthesized, and their urease inhibitory activity was evaluated by using acetohydroxamic acid (AHA), a well known Helicobacter pylori urease inhibitor, as positive control. The assay results indicate that many compounds have showed potential inhibitory activity against H. pylori urease. 4-(4-Hydroxyphenethyl)phen-1,2-diol (2a) was found to be the most potent urease inhibitor with IC50s of 1.5 ± 0.2 μM for extracted fraction and 4.2 ± 0.3 μM for intact cell, at least 10 times and 20 times lower than those of AHA (IC50 of 17.2 ± 0.9 μM, 100.6 ± 13 μM), respectively. This finding indicate that 2a would be a potential urease inhibitor deserves further research. Molecular dockings of 2a into H. pylori urease active site were performed for understanding the good activity observed.
