Treatment of 1-indanones with aromatic aldehydes and NaOEt in THF affords complex spiropolycyclic compounds through a four-component reaction in which two molecules of each starting compound are combined with formation of four new carbon-carbon bonds, leading to the elaboration of a new five-membered ring that bears five contiguous stereogenic centers with a well-defined relative configuration. Different amounts of a minor epimer of the main product are also formed. The presence of methoxy substituents in the indanone component and the use of aldehydes derived from π-excedent heterocycles make the dimerization step a slower transformation. In these cases, better yields of spirodimers are obtained starting from the preformed enones. The reaction seems to take place by cross-aldol condensation, dehydration, and dimerization of the thus formed enones. The molecular mechanism of the dimerization reaction of enone 5g has been studied using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. The dimerization takes place through a process involving a Michael addition of a carbanion, obtained by deprotonation of 5g at the 3-position, to a second molecule of 5g, followed by an intramolecular Michael addition in the corresponding intermediate. The final protonation of the resulting anion accounts for the formation of the cis-fused pentacyclic system.

A Diaminocyclopentadienone iron tricarbonyl complex has been applied in chemoselective hydrogen transfer reductions. This bifunctional iron complex demonstrated a broad applicability in mild conditions in various reactions, such as reduction of aldehydes over ketones, reductive alkylation of various functionalized amines with functionalized aldehydes and reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones into the corresponding saturated ketones. A broad range of functionalized substrates has been isolated in excellent yields with this practical procedure.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine playing crucial role in immunity. MIF exerts a unique tautomerase enzymatic activity that has relevance concerning its multiple functions and its small molecule inhibitors have been proven to block its pro-inflammatory effects. Here we demonstrate that some of the E-2-arylmethylene-1-tetralones and their heteroanalogues efficiently bind to MIF’s active site and inhibit MIF tautomeric (enolase, ketolase activity) functions. A small set of the synthesised derivatives, namely compounds (4), (23), (24), (26) and (32), reduced inflammatory macrophage activation. Two of the selected compounds (24) and (26), however, markedly inhibited ROS and nitrite production, NF-κB activation, TNF-α, IL-6 and CCL-2 cytokine expression. Pre-treatment of mice with compound (24) exaggerated the hypothermic response to high dose of bacterial endotoxin. Our experiments suggest that tetralones and their derivatives inhibit MIF’s tautomeric functions and regulate macrophage activation and thermal changes in severe forms of systemic inflammation.

Eventhough spiroheterocycles are considered as emerging drug candidates, synthesis of spiroaziridines has not been well explored so far. Herein, we disclose an efficient I2/TBHP mediated diastereoselective synthesis of N-alkyl spiroaziridines from primary amines and easily accessible α,β-unsaturated ketones. The reaction is also compatible for the synthesis of 2-aroylaziridines.
Tuning the Product Selectivity of the α-Alkylation of Ketones with Primary Alcohols using Oxidized Titanium Nitride Photocatalysts and Visible Light

The direct α-alkylation of ketones with alcohol to synthesize important α-alkylated ketones and enones is an attractive procedure for C-C bond formation. High reaction temperatures are always needed for heterogeneous catalysis using non-noble metals, and switching product selectivity in one catalysis system remains a great challenge. In the present study, a visible-light-driven procedure for this reaction is proposed, using oxidized TiN photocatalysts under mild conditions, whereby the product selectivity can be well-tuned. Oxidized TiN photocatalysts with tunable surface N/O ratios were successfully synthesized through the facile and flexible thermal oxidation treatment of low-cost TiN nanopowder. The α-alkylation of acetophenone with benzyl alcohol to form the two important compounds chalcone and dihydrochalcone occurred even at room temperature and almost complete conversion was achieved at 100 °C under visible light. The proportion of the two products can be well-tuned by switching the surface N/O ratio of the synthesized photocatalysts. Visible light is demonstrated to affect the surface N/O ratio of the photocatalysts and contribute to tuning the product selectivity. Light intensity and action spectrum study proves that the generation of energetic charge carriers results in the observed activities under visible light, based on interband transitions of TiN or the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) effect of the surface complex formed on TiO2. Thermal energy can be coupled with light energy within this photocatalytic system, which will facilitate the full use of solar energy. Different sequential reaction mechanisms on TiN and TiO2 are proposed to be responsible for the tunable product selectivity. The wide reaction scope, the fine conversion at a low light intensity, and the favorable reusability of photocatalysts prove the great application potential of this visible-light-driven procedure for the α-alkylation of ketones with primary alcohols.

A new, green, and highly efficient protocol for the expeditious preparation of some α,α′-bis[(aryl or allyl)idene]cycloalkanones and 2-[(aryl or allyl)idene]-1-indanones via a simple microwave-assisted Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction catalyzed by MoCl5 was successfully developed. Outstanding features of the current methodology include the use of solvent-free conditions, simple operation, use of a very inexpensive and available catalyst, low catalyst loading, short reaction times, high yields of the pure products, no harmful by-products, easy workup, and also the applicability of microwave irradiation as a clean source of energy. Furthermore, a gram-scale reaction was successfully conducted, proving the scalability of this current Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction.

Light-enabled, AlCl3-catalyzed regioselective intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization of alkynes using non-nucleophilic alkyls as the nucleophile is reported. Upon photoexcitation, o-alkylphenyl alkynyl ketones can be transferred into (E)-photoenols. Thus, a nucleophilic methylene is formed from the non-nucleophilic alkyl. An AlCl3 catalyst can stabilize the (E)-photoenol intermediate and facilitate further intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization. DFT calculations indicated that the AlCl3-catalyzed cyclization is the regioselectivity determining step.
