Growth-inhibitory activities of selected natural benzofurans (4-9), trans-cinnamic acid derivatives (10-13), chromene compounds (14 and 16), and some semisynthetic derivatives were determined in last instar larvae of Tenebrio molitor via topical administr

Ph3PAuNTf2 (≈1 mol-%) catalyzes the selective cycloisomerization of substituted aryl propargyl ethers into 2H-chromenes in excellent yields. Benzofuran byproducts are formed only in the case of electron-deficient arenes, in up to 7% relative yield. The Ph 3PAuNTf2-catalyzed cyclization of aryl propargyl ethers was applied as a key step to the concise synthesis of the naturally occurring benzopyrans seselin, xanthyletin, precocenes I and II, 8-(3′,3′- dimethylallyl)wenteria chromene, and 2,2-dimethyl-8-prenylchromene-6-propenoic acid. Ph3PAuNTf2 is a general, highly efficient, and product-selective catalyst for the clean synthesis of 2H-chromenes from the cycloisomerization of aryl propargyl ethers.The Ph3PAuNTf 2-catalyzed cyclization was applied as a key step in the synthesis of several benzopyran-bearing naturally occurring substances.

A systematic structure-activity relationship study of plicatin B (1), an antimutagenic constituent of Psoralea juncea, was undertaken with a view toward elucidating its chemical mode of action and possibly optimizing its antimutagenic activity during the process. Compound 1 and its related analogues were examined for their antimutagenic activity against mutations induced by ethyl methanesulfonate, a direct acting mutagen and alkylating agent, in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100, utilizing the modified Ames test protocol. The dihydro analogue 3 resulting from saturation of the conjugated alkene double bond of 1 was found to exhibit reduced cytotoxicity and enhanced efficacy relative to the parent compound. This result serves preliminarily to exclude a Michael acceptor role of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety in connection with its antimutagenic activity.
