Abstract: α,α′-bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones were efficiently prepared from variously substituted aldehydes and cycloalkanones in water by using ash of pomegranate peels (APP) as a catalyst. The APP-catalyst was obtained from bio-waste by simple thermal treatment to dry peels of pomegranate fruit and formation of its active phase was confirmed by FT-IR, XRD, XRF, EDX, SEM, DSC-TGA and BET techniques. The analysis revealed that the present catalyst has basic sites which promote the synthesis of desired products. The main attractions of our protocol are utilization of highly abundant bio-waste-derived catalyst and good-to-excellent yield in shortest reaction time. This green protocol was further extended for structurally diverse 2-arylidene-1-tetralones by condensation of equimolar quantity of aromatic aldehydes and 1-tetralone at low temperature. The catalyst could be quantitatively recovered and reused effectively for five times. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Amberlyst-15 has been applied as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the first time for rapid synthesis of α,α′-bis(arylmethylene) cycloalkanones, α,α′-bis(cinnamylidene)cycloalkanones, ′-cinnamylideneacetophenones and chalcones in very good yield by the reaction between various aldehydes and ketones under microwave irradiation. The new process for the cross-aldol condensation reaction works well in absence of any solvent. The yields are high and the process is environmentally benign.

-Bis(substituted-benzylidene)cycloalkanones were synthesized via a solvent-free cross-aldol condensation of aromatic aldehydes with cycloalkanones in the presence of a catalytic amount 1-methyl-3(2-(sulfooxy)ethyl)-1H-imidazol- 3-ium chloride at room temperature with excellent yields. The screening for optical properties indicated that the size of cycloalkanone has an influence on the fluorescence emission of products. Products coming from cyclohexanone have stronger fluorescence emission than those from cyclopentanone. Copyrigh

Curcumin has a surprisingly wide range of chemo-preventive and chemo-therapeutic activities and is under investigation for the treatment of various human cancers. However, the clinical application of curcumin has been significantly limited by its instability and poor metabolic property. Although a number of synthetic modifications of curcumin have been studied intensively in order to develop a molecule with enhanced bioactivities, few synthetic studies were done for the improvement of pharmacokinetic profiles. In the present study, a series of mono-carbonyl analogues of curcumin were designed and synthesized by deleting the reactive β-diketone moiety, which was considered to be responsible for the pharmacokinetic limitation of curcumin. The results of the in vitro stability studies and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies indicated that the stability of these mono-carbonyl analogues was greatly enhanced in vitro and their pharmacokinetic profiles were also significantly improved in vivo. Furthermore, the cytotoxic activities of mono-carbonyl analogues were evaluated in seven different tumor cell lines by MTT assay and the structure-activity relation (SAR) was discussed and concluded. The results suggest that the five-carbon linker-containing analogues of curcumin may be favorable for the curcumin-based drug development both pharmacokinetically and pharmacologically.
