A rapid and highly efficient Michael addition of methoxybenzenes and indoles to α,β-unsaturated ketones using BF3·OEt2 as a catalyst

An efficient and general protocol is described for the Michael addition of α,β-unsaturated ketones with electron-rich arenes/indoles to give alkylated arenes/indoles under mild reaction condition at room temperature. Shorter reaction time, convenient and

Synthesis and neuroprotective effect of E-3,4-dihydroxy styryl aralkyl ketones derivatives against oxidative stress and inflammation

E-3,4-Dihydroxy styryl aralkyl ketones as well as their 3,4-diacetylated derivatives as the analogues of neuroprotective agent CAPE were designed and synthesized for improving stability and lipid solubility. The neuroprotective activities of target compounds 10a-g and 11a-g were tested by three models in vitro, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity, neuronal protecting effect against damage induced by H2O2 in PC12 cells and nitric oxide suppression effect in BV2 microglial cells. The results demonstrated that compounds 10f and 11f exhibited the most potent neuroprotective effect against oxidative stress and inflammation, which is higher than that of the lead compound CAPE.

Novel diarylheptanoids as inhibitors of TNF-α production

Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of novel diarylheptanoids [5-hydroxy-1-phenyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-heptan-3-ones and 1-phenyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl) hept-4-en-3-ones] as inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production is described in the present article. The key reactions involve the formation of a β-hydroxyketone by the reaction of substituted 4-phenyl butan-2-ones with pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde in presence of LDA and the subsequent dehydration of the same to obtain the α,β-unsaturated ketones. Compounds 4i, 5b, 5d, and 5g significantly inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF-α production from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in a dose-dependent manner. Of note, the in vitro TNF-α inhibition potential of 5b and 5d is comparable to that of curcumin (a naturally occurring diarylheptanoid). Most importantly, oral administration of 4i, 5b, 5d, and 5g (each at 100 mg/kg) but not curcumin (at 100 mg/kg) significantly inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α production in BALB/c mice. Collectively, our findings indicate that these compounds may have potential therapeutic implications for TNF-α-mediated auto-immune/inflammatory disorders.

Osmium-Promoted Electrophilic Substitution of Anisoles: A Versatile New Method for the Incorporation of Carbon Substituents

A structurally and electronically diverse set of anisoles are dihapto-coordinated to the π-base pentaammineosmium(II) and treated with a variety of carbon electrophiles (e.g. Michael acceptors, acetals) After deprotonation of a 4H-anisolium intermediate with a tertiary amine base, C(4)-substituted anisole complexes are isolated. The functionalized arenes are removed from the metal center either by mild heating or treatment with an oxidant (e.g. AgOTf, DDQ, CAN). The resulting substituted anisoles are isolated with yields ranging from 55-95%.
