(±)-Diinsininone: made nature's way

We report the synthesis of diinsininone (33), the aglycone of (±)-diinsinin (2). Thereby, we complete the first construction of a proanthocyanidin (PA) type-A compound incorporating a [3.3.1]-bicyclic ketal as its characteristic core. Our strategy utilizes a coupling between a benzopyrilium salt and a flavanone that proves applicable to other PA type-A compounds. During this undertaking, treatment of naringenin (9) with 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) followed by reductive work-up affords eriodictyol (10). This reactivity mirrors that of catechol hydroxylase (F3H) found in the flavonoid pathway. Other interesting transformations include the formation of flavonoids through an ortho-quinone methide (o-QM) cycloaddition-oxidation sequence and regioselective β-glycosidations of several unprotected flavanones suggesting a likely synthesis of 2 from the aglycone 33.

A new and convenient one-step synthesis of the natural 3-deoxyanthocyanidins apigeninidin and luteolinidin chlorides from 2,4,6-triacetoxybenzaldehyde

The total synthesis of apigeninidin (1), luteolinidin (2) and 5,7-dihydroxyflavylium (5) chlorides is performed through a one step reaction from an acetylated derivative of a commercial reagent. Condensation reaction between 2,4,6-triacetoxybenzaldehyde and an acetophenone derivative in anhyd methanolic hydrogen chloride provides the 3-deoxyanthocyanidins in high yields.

Anti-AIDS agents. 37. Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of (3'R,4'R)-(+)-cis-khellactone derivatives as novel potent anti-HIV agents

To explore the structural requirements of (+)-cis-khellactone derivatives as novel anti-HIV agents, 24 monosubstituted 3',4'-di-O-(S)- camphanoyl-(+)-cis-khellactone (DCK) derivatives were synthesized asymmetrically. These compounds included 4 isomeric monomethoxy analogues (3- 6), 4 isomeric monomethyl analogues (7-10), 4 4-alkyl/aryl-substituted analogues (11-14), and 12 4-methyl-(+)-cis-khellactone derivatives (15-26) with varying 3',4'-substituents. These (+)-cis-khellactone derivatives were screened against HIV-1 replication in acutely infected H9 lymphocytes. The results demonstrated that the (3'R,4'R)-(+)-cis-khellactone skeleton, two (S)-(-)-camphanoyl groups at the 3'- and 4'-positions, and a methyl group on the coumarin ring, except at the 6-position, were optimal structural moieties for anti-HIV activity. 3-Methyl- (7), 4-methyl- (8), and 5-methyl- (9) 3',4'- di-O-(S)-camphanoyl-(3'R,4'R)-(+)-cis-khellactone showed EC50 and therapeutic index values of -5 μM and >2.15 x 106, respectively, in H9 lymphocytes, which are much better than those of DCK and AZT in the same assay. Furthermore, 8 and 9 also showed potent inhibitory activity against HIV-1 replication in the CEM-SS cell line, and most monosubstituted DCK analogues were less toxic than DCK in both assays.

Anti-AIDS agents - XXVIII. Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of methoxy substitute 3',4'-di-O-(-)-Camphanoyl-(+)-cis-Khellactone (DCK) analogues

Four isomeric methoxy substituted DCK analogues (3-6) were asymmetrically synthesized from different starting materials. 5-Methoxy-3',4'-di-O-(-)-camphanoyl-(+)-cis-khellactone (5) exhibited extremely potent anti-HIV activity against HIV-1 replication in H9 lymphocyte cells with EC50 and therapeutic index values of 0.00038 μM and >402,632, respectively, which are better than those of DCK and AZT in this assay.

Ortho Effect in the Fragmentation of 2-Acetoxychalcones under Electron Impact

2-Acetoxychalcones decompose under electron impact conditions by loss of an acetoxy fragment to form flavylium ions.The effect is restricted to the ortho position and is reduced after hydrogenation of the chalcone double bond.The intense flavylium ion originates as shown by specific labelling with 18O-from two different fragmentation lines: (a) direct loss of an acetoxy radical by cleavage of the phenolic Ar-O bond and (b) sequential elimination of ketene and a hydroxy radical.
