Synthesis and bioactivity of resveratrol analogues

It has been reported that resveratrol enhanced SIRT1 expression and significantly mimicked calorie restriction by stimulating Sir2 which is the most homologic homologue of SIRT1 of mammalian. A series of novel resveratrol derivatives were designed and synthesized as novel SIRT1 activator candidates. These synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral (1H NMR) analysis and examined for their Sir2 activation against yeast parental strain-BY4743 at a concentration of 100 μM/L by Bioscreen C MBR machine. Several compounds showed a promising Sir2 activation activity compared with resveratrol. Meanwhile, the structure-activity relationships with Sirt2 activation activities were also discussed.

Photoinitiated carbonyl-metathesis: Deoxygenative reductive olefination of aromatic aldehydes: Via photoredox catalysis

Carbonyl-carbonyl olefination, known as McMurry reaction, represents a powerful strategy for the construction of olefins. However, catalytic variants that directly couple two carbonyl groups in a single reaction are less explored. Here, we report a photoredox-catalysis that uses B2pin2 as terminal reductant and oxygen trap allowing for deoxygenative olefination of aromatic aldehydes under mild conditions. This strategy provides access to a diverse range of symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkenes with moderate to high yield (up to 83%) and functional-group tolerance. To follow the reaction pathway, a series of experiments were conducted including radical inhibition, deuterium labelling, fluorescence quenching and cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, NMR studies and DFT calculations were combined to detect and analyze three active intermediates: a cyclic three-membered anionic species, an α-oxyboryl carbanion and a 1,1-benzyldiboronate ester. Based on these results, we propose a mechanism for the CC bond generation involving a sequential radical borylation, "bora-Brook" rearrangement, B2pin2-mediated deoxygenation and a boron-Wittig process.

Transition-metal-free semihydrogenation of diarylalkynes: Highly stereoselective synthesis of trans -alkenes using Na2S·9H 2O

A highly stereoselective and efficient transition-metal-free semihydrogenation of internal alkynes to E-alkenes using cheap and green water as hydrogen donor is described. The reactions are conducted under convenient conditions and provide products in good to excellent yields, with broad substrate scope, including a variety of diarylalkynes.
