Reduction of hippocampal neurogenesis caused by aging and neurological disorders would impair neural circuits and result in memory loss. A new lead compound (N-trans-3′,4'-methylenedioxystilben-4-yl acetamide 27) has been discovered to efficiently stimulate adult rats' neurogenesis. In-depth structure-activity relationship studies proved the necessity of a stilbene scaffold that is absent in highly cytotoxic analogs such as chalcones and heteroaryl rings and inactive analogs such as diphenyl acetylene and diphenyl ethane, and validated the importance of an NH in the carboxamide and a methylenedioxy substituent on the benzene ring. Immunohistochemical staining and biochemical analysis indicate, in contrast to previously reported neuroprotective chemicals, N-stilbenyl carboxamides have extra capacity for neuroproliferation-type neurogenesis, thereby providing a foundation for improving the plasticity of the adult mammalian brain.

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have been investigated in multicatalytic processes to synthesize disubstituted alkenes and alkanes from carbonyl derivatives. The use of copper-catalyzed methylenation reactions is the key starting reaction to produce terminal alkenes which are not isolated, but submitted to further structure elongation. Not only is the isolation of the alkene intermediate unnecessary, but also the copper catalyst is a beneficial cocatalyst in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The desired products are thus typically obtained in higher yields using this one-pot approach. We have used these processes to synthesize hydroxylated (E)-stilbenoids, which are known chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents, odorant-substituted indanes, and non-natural amino acids, such as homophenylalanine.

Reaction of β-mesyloxy (or acetoxy) sulfoxides, derived from alkyl (or arylmethyl) phenyl sulfoxides and carbonyl compounds in two steps, with alkylmetals (n-BuLi, t-BuLi, or EtMgBr) at low temperature gave olefins in good to excellent yields. When the β-hydroxy sulfoxides derived from arylaldehydes were treated with mesyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine, the sulfoxides directly gave E-olefins in good yields. These reactions offer a sulfoxide version of the Julia-Lythgoe olefination. The reductive vicinal elimination was found to take place through the direct sulfoxide-metal exchange. The stereochemistry of the elimination was investigated and found to be stereospecific; however, the stereospecificity was found to be dependent on the substrates. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
