Dirchromone is a bioactive vinyl sulfoxide-bearing chromone first isolated from the shrub Dirca palustris. Altogether, 32 of its derivatives were prepared to assess the effect of substitution of its chromone core upon activities against cancer cell lines, Gram-positive bacteria, and fungi (such as Candida albicans). All compounds were synthesized following a synthetic strategy involving Pummerer and soft-enolization Baker-Venkataraman rearrangements. Substituent position changes induced little variability on the activities tested. There was no correlation between cytotoxic and antibacterial effects, suggesting different underlying mechanisms of action. In particular, hydroxy group and cyanide substituents diminished cytotoxicity, with the latter featuring enhanced antibacterial activity. Higher homologues of 6-alkoxydirchromones also exhibited progressively emerging antifungal activity. Other modifications had moderate effects on cytotoxicity with some derivatives leading to increased potency. This behavior highlights the robustness of the natural dirchromone pharmacophore toward decoration, thus paving the way for more elaborate future drug design.

The sustainable, undirected, and selective catalytic hydroxylation of arenes remains an ongoing research challenge because of the relative inertness of aryl carbon-hydrogen bonds, the higher reactivity of the phenolic products leading to over-oxidized by-products, and the frequently insufficient regioselectivity. We report that iron coordinated by a bioinspired L-cystine-derived ligand can catalyze undirected arene carbon-hydrogen hydroxylation with hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant. The reaction is distinguished by its broad substrate scope, excellent selectivity, and good yields, and it showcases compatibility with oxidation-sensitive functional groups, such as alcohols, polyphenols, aldehydes, and even a boronic acid. This method is well suited for the synthesis of polyphenols through multiple carbon-hydrogen hydroxylations, as well as the late-stage functionalization of natural products and drug molecules.

Intramolecular addition of an O-methyl C(sp3)?H bond across a carbon-carbon double bond occurs in the iridium-catalyzed reaction of methyl 2-(propen-2-yl)phenyl ethers. The Ir/(S)-DTBM-SEGPHOS catalyst promotes the reaction efficiently in toluene at 110–135 °C to afford 3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans. Enantioselective C(sp3)?H addition is achieved in the reaction of methyl 2-(1-siloxyethenyl)phenyl ethers, affording enantioenriched 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran derivatives with up to 96% ee.

Removal of the protecting allyl group from allyl aryl ethers in the presence of other oxygen protecting groups was successfully achieved using a solid acid supported on the high surface area material MCM-41. The catalyst showed excellent activity in the presence of various electron withdrawing, electron donating, and oxidizable functional groups. The methodology is also very useful for the removal of protecting allyl groups of various natural products such as vanillin, isovanillin, and other oxygen functionalized aldehydes and ketones.

Free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) is a new potential drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes because of its role in amplifying glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cell. In the present studies, we identified phenoxyacetic acid derivative (18b) as a potent FFA1 agonist (EC50 = 62.3 nM) based on the structure of phenylpropanoic acid derivative 4p. Moreover, compound 18b could significantly improve oral glucose tolerance in ICR mice and dose-dependently reduced glucose levels in type 2 diabetic C57BL/6 mice without observation of hypoglycemic side effect. Additionally, compound 18b exhibited acceptable PK profiles. In summary, compound 18b with ideal PK profiles exhibited good activity in vitro and in vivo, and might be a promising drug candidate for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

A hydroxy-directed alkylation of an N,N-diethylarylamide using CIPE-assisted α-silyl carbanions (CIPE=complex-induced proximity effect) has been developed using a simple reagent combination of LDA (lithium diisopropylamide) and chlorosilane. A study of the mechanism, and the application of the procedure to an anionic Snieckus-Fries rearrangement for a highly efficient synthesis of the potent phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002, are reported.
