An efficient and environmentally benign heterogeneous catalytic process for the synthesis of 2,3-unsubstituted benzo[b]furans has been established via the intramolecular cyclization of 2-aryloxyacetaldehyde acetals. By utilizing tin-exchanged H-β zeolite (Sn-β) as catalyst, a wide range of functionalized 2,3-unsubstituted benzo[b]furans could be prepared in good to excellent yields. The Sn-β zeolite catalyst also exhibited excellent shape selectivity on the cyclization of meta-substituted 2-aryloxyacetaldehyde acetals, and 6-substituted isomers were preferably formed up to 97% regio-selectivity. Moreover, Sn-β zeolite could be easily recovered and reused without any noticeable activity loss.

Abstract A set of aryl- and phenoxymethyl-(thio)semicarbazones were synthetized, characterized and biologically evaluated against the larvae of Aedes aegypti (A. egypti), the vector responsible for diseases like Dengue and Yellow Fever. (Q)SAR studies were useful for predicting the activities of the compounds not included to create the QSAR model as well as to predict the features of a new compound with improved activity. Docking studies corroborated experimental evidence of AeSCP-2 as a potential target able to explain the larvicidal properties of its compounds. The trend observed between the in silico Docking scores and the in vitro pLC50 (equals -log LC50, at molar concentration) data indicated that the highest larvicidal compounds, or the compounds with the highest values for pLC50, are usually those with the higher docking scores (i.e., greater in silico affinity for the AeSCP-2 target). Determination of cytotoxicity for these compounds in mammal cells demonstrated that the top larvicide compounds are non-toxic.

The single enantiomer title alcohols, useful as co-side chain precursors for pharmaceutically important prostaglandin analogues were synthesised from the corresponding racemic alcohols by a convenient 4-step sequence. After enzymatic acylation of the alco

Series of 5-phenoxy-2(1H)-pyrimidinones, 5-phenoxy-4(3H)-pyrimidinones, and related compounds were prepared in a follow-up of a lead prepared as a potential cyclic nucleotide regulating agent.Compounds were evaluated for bronchodilator activity in histamine-challenged guinea pigs and for antiulcer activity in a cold-restraint, stressed rat ulcer model.Bronchodilator activity comparable to, or greater than, that of theophylline was found in both the 2(1H)- and 4(3H)-pyrimidinone series and was most prominent in analogues containing either an electron-withdrawing or -donating substituent in the para position of the phenoxy ring.Significant antiulcer activity was observed only in the 2(1H)-pyrimidinone series among three closely related analogues.One of these, 5-(m-methylphenoxy)-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (3), exhibited more potent antiulcer effects than the clinically useful antiulcer agent carbenoxolone, without demonstrating bronchodilator activity.
