Eight fungal strains (Penicillium raistrickii CBMAI 931, Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237, Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 935, Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1996, Penicillium citrinum CBMAI 1186, Mucor racemosus CBMAI 847, Westerdykella sp. CBMAI 1679, and Aspergillus sclerotiorum CBMAI 849) mediated the biotransformation of the 2′-hydroxychalcone 1a. The main products obtained were from hydrogenation, hydroxylation, and cyclization reactions. Penicillium raistrickii CBMAI 931 catalyzed the chemoselective reduction of 1a to produce 2′-hydroxydihydrochalcone 2a (72%) in 7 days of incubation in phosphate buffer (pH 7). Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 935 promoted the hydroxylation of 1a to yield 2′,4-dihydroxy-dihydrochalcone 5a (c = 42%) in 7 days of incubation in phosphate buffer (pH 8). The reaction using P. citrinum CBMAI 1186 and M. racemosus CBMAI 847 presented main cyclization products in phosphate buffer (pH 8), but the reactions with these fungi did not present enantioselectivity. Marine-derived fungi were effective and versatile biocatalysts for biotransformation of the 2′-hydroxychalcones yielding different products according to the conditions and microorganism used.

A solvent-controlled hydrogenation of 2’-hydroxychalcones to selectively obtain different hydrogenation products is herein reported. Thus, hydrogenation of 2’-hydroxychalcones using EtOH as solvent provided the corresponding 1,3-diarylpropanes in excellent yields. On the contrary, when the hydrogenation was performed in DCM, the corresponding dihydrochalcones were isolated. Switching the reaction solvent to n-BuOH/H2O (1:1), afforded 1,3-diarylpropanols from moderate to good yields. The methodology here reported offers a straightforward, simple and cost-effective method for the preparation of a wide variety of 2’-hydroxy-1,3-diarylpropanes derivatives, and was also applied to the preparation of natural Bussealins C and D.

We describe a method that allows salicylaldehyde derivatives to be coupled with a wide range of unactivated alkenes at catalyst loadings as low as 2 mol %. A chiral phosphoramidite ligand and the precise stoichiometry of heterogeneous base are key for high catalytic activity and linear regioselectivity. This protocol was applied in the atom- and step-economical synthesis of eight biologically active octaketide natural products, including anticancer drug candidate cytosporone B. Mechanistic studies provide insight on parameters affecting decarbonylation, a side reaction that limits the turnover number for catalytic hydroacylation. Deuterium labeling studies show that branched hydride insertion is fully reversible, whereas linear hydride insertion is largely irreversible and turnover-limiting. We propose that ligand (R a,R,R)-SIPHOS-PE effectively suppresses decarbonylation, and helps favor a turnover-limiting insertion, by lowering the barrier for reductive elimination in the linear-selective pathway. Together, these factors enable high reactivity and regioselectivity.
Optimization of propafenone analogues as antimalarial leads

Propafenone, a class Ic antiarrythmic drug, inhibits growth of cultured Plasmodium falciparum. While the drug's potency is significant, further development of propafenone as an antimalarial would require divorcing the antimalarial and cardiac activities as well as improving the pharmacokinetic profile of the drug. A small array of propafenone analogues was designed and synthesized to address the cardiac ion channel and PK liabilities. Testing of this array revealed potent inhibitors of the 3D7 (drug sensitive) and K1 (drug resistant) strains of P. falciparum that possessed significantly reduced ion channel effects and improved metabolic stability. Propafenone analogues are unusual among antimalarial leads in that they are more potent against the multidrug resistant K1 strain of P. falciparum compared to the 3D7 strain.
