A novel domino reaction catalyzed by an organic molecule based on α,β-unsaturated aromatic aldehydes and methylethylketones has been developed. The progress allows one-pot and efficient synthesis of polysubstituted 4-oxocyclohexanecarbaldehyde derivatives via pyrrolidine mediated under mild conditions. The reaction consists of three consecutive reactions: an aldol condensation reaction and a tandem inter-Michael-intra- Michael addition reaction. Copyright

A new strategy for the generation of the active Pd-alkyl species from aminal via C—N bond activation has been established, in which the formation of zwitterionic intermediate through aza-Michael addition of aminal to nitrodienes or dienones is identified as a key step for the activation of the C—N bond. The efficient strategy has enabled a new palladium-catalyzed α-aminomethylation of nitrodienes and dienones via double C—N bond activation. The scope and versatility of the reaction were demonstrated and a broad range of substrates bearing electron-donating and -withdrawing groups on the aromatic rings were all compatible with this reaction to furnish the desired α-aminomethylated products in moderate to good yields with excellent regioselectivities and E/Z selectivities.

Trichomoniasis is a parasitic infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis and it is considered to be the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection in the world. Since the 1960s, nitroimidazoles such as metronidazole are the drugs of choice for the treatment of trichomoniasis, but many adverse effects and allergic reactions may result from their use. Reports of metronidazole-resistant infections also highlight the importance for the search of new anti-T. vaginalis agents. Considering this, herein we report the anti-T. vaginalis evaluation of 21 synthetic monocarbonyl analogues of curcumin, which itself has been reported to possess antiparasitic potential. From the in vitro analysis of the synthetic molecules, untreated trophozoites, and metronidazole at 100 μM, it was observed that three curcumin analogues (3a, 3e, and 5e) exhibited anti-T. vaginalis activity comparable to metronidazole (no significant statistical difference). Optimal antiparasitic concentrations were determined to be 80 μM and 90 μM for propanone derivatives 3a and 3e, respectively, and 200 μM for cyclohexanone derivative 5e. Kinetic growth curves showed that, after 24 h, the trophozoites were completely inhibited. At the tested concentrations, natural curcumin did not significantly inhibit the growth of trophozoites, therefore demonstrating that the designed synthetic molecules not only have better chemical stability, but also higher anti-T. vaginalis potential. Cytotoxicity analysis, performed on VERO cells, demonstrated low, moderate and high cytotoxic effects for analogues 3e, 5e and 3a, respectively. This study suggests that these analogues possess chemical features of interest to be further explored as alternatives for the treatment of trichomoniasis.
Synthesis of Asymmetrical 2,6-Diarylpyridines from Linear α,β,γ,δ-Unsaturated Ketones by Addition of Ammonium Formate Followed by Annulation

A simple and efficient method has been established for the synthesis of asymmetrical 2,6-diarylpyridines by cyclization of α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated ketones with ammonium formate under air atmosphere. The reaction is metal-free and operationally convenient from readily available starting materials. Thirty-three examples have been presented, most of which show good yields.
