New structural classes of antibiotics are rare, structurally novel broad-spectrum antibiotics exceptionally so. The recently discovered baulamycins constitute a remarkable example of these highly prized compounds and, as such, have attracted considerable attention in the form of both synthetic efforts and biological studies. For the first time, we report a gram-scale preparation of the common carbon framework of the baulamycin family, as well as the total synthesis of its most potent member, baulamycin A. Our approach employs highly stereoselective, catalyst-controlled asymmetric conjugate additions to thioesters to set key stereocenters, as well as the first reported use of "dry ozonolysis" to reveal a masked carboxylic acid in the total synthesis of a natural product.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is currently one of the most difficult and challenging diseases to treat. Based on the 'multi-target-directed ligands' (MTDLs) strategy, we designed and synthesised a series of new compounds against AD by combining the pharmacophores of resveratrol and clioquinol. The results of biological activity tests showed that the hybrids exhibited excellent MTDL properties: a significant ability to inhibit self-induced β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregation and copper(ii)-induced Aβ aggregation, potential antioxidant behaviour (ORAC-FL value of 0.9-3.2 Trolox equivalents) and biometal chelation. Among these compounds, (E)-5-(4-hydroxystyryl)quinoline-8-ol (10c) showed the most potent ability to inhibit self-induced Aβ aggregation (IC50 = 8.50 μM) and copper(ii)-induced Aβ aggregation and to disassemble the well-structured Aβ fibrils generated by self- and copper(ii)-induced Aβ aggregation. Note that 10c could also control Cu(i/ii)-triggered hydroxyl radical (OH) production by halting copper redox cycling via metal complexation, as confirmed by a Cu-ascorbate redox system assay. Importantly, 10c did not show acute toxicity in mice at doses of up to 2000 mg kg-1 and was able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), according to a parallel artificial membrane permeation assay. These results indicate that compound 10c is a promising multifunctional compound for the development of novel drugs for AD. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

4-Phenol diazonium salts undergo Pd-catalyzed Heck reactions with various styrenes to 4′-hydroxy stilbenes. In almost all cases higher yields and fewer side products were observed, compared to the analogous 4-methoxy benzene diazonium salts. In contrast, the reaction fails completely with 2- and 3-phenol diazonium salts. For these substitution patterns the methoxy-substituted derivatives are superior. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.
