Chromium photocatalysis: accessing structural complements to Diels-Alder adducts with electron-deficient dienophiles
Stevenson, Susan M.,Higgins, Robert F.,Shores, Matthew P.,Ferreira, Eric M.
, p. 654 - 660 (2016)
A chromium-catalyzed, visible light-activated net [4 + 2] cycloaddition between dienes and electron-deficient alkenes is described. Gathered evidence, via control experiments, isolated intermediates, and measured redox potentials, points to several converging reaction pathways that afford the cyclohexene adducts, including a photochemical [2 + 2] cycloaddition/vinylcyclobutane rearrangement cascade and a substrate excitation/oxidation sequence to a radical cation intermediate. Notably, the accompanying mechanistic stipulations result in a process that yields regioisomeric compounds from those generated by traditional Diels-Alder cycloadditions.

Paragraph 0076-0080, (2021/03/13)
The invention belongs to the field of molecular sieve catalysis and organic synthesis, and discloses a method for preparing a phenyl propenone compound by catalyzing phenylacetylene through a molecular sieve, which comprises the following steps: adding a phenylacetylene compound I, aldehyde II and a molecular sieve catalyst into a small reaction kettle without adding an organic solvent and any other assistants; performing stirring to react for 0.25-6 hours under the condition of heating at 30-90 DEG C, cooling the reaction kettle to room temperature, performing diluting with ethyl acetate, andcentrifugally separating the catalyst to obtain the phenyl allyl ketone compound III.

Phthalhydrazide immobilized on TiO2-coated nano Fe3O4 (Fe3O4-P) was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDS and VSM analysis. The resulting magnetic nanocatalyst was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of chalcone derivatives which affords the desired products in good to excellent yields. This catalyst can be isolated readily after completion of the reaction by an external magnetite field and reused several times without significant loss of activity.

A variety of chalcones were synthesized in good yields by the activated charcoal-mediated aldol reactions between benzaldehydes and acetophenones catalyzed by NaOH in water. 2,6-Bis((E)-benzylidene)cyclohexan-1-ones were prepared by the aldol reactions between benzaldehydes and cyclohexanone. Activated charcoal could be recycled five times without the significant decrease of yields.

In search for new and safer anti-cancer agents, a structurally guided pharmacophore hybridization strategy of two privileged scaffolds, namely diaryl pyrazolines and imidazolidine-2,4-dione (hydantoin), was adopted resulting in a newfangled series of compounds (H1-H22). Herein, a bio-isosteric replacement of “pyrrolidine-2,5-dione” moiety of our recently reported antitumor hybrid incorporating diaryl pyrazoline and pyrrolidine-2,5-dione scaffolds with “imidazoline-2,4-dione” moiety has been incorporated. Complete biological studies revealed the most potent analog among all i.e. compound H13, which was at-least 10-fold more potent compared to the corresponding pyrrolidine-2,5-dione, in colon and breast cancer cells. In-vitro studies showed activation of caspases, arrest of G0/G1 phase of cell cycle, decrease in the expression of anti-apoptotic protein (Bcl-2) and increased DNA damage. In-vivo assay on HT-29 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma) animal xenograft model unveiled the significant anti-tumor efficacy along with oral bioavailability with maximum TGI 36% (i.p.) and 44% (per os) at 50 mg/kg dose. These findings confirm the suitability of hybridized pyrazoline and imidazolidine-2,4-dione analog H13 for its anti-cancer potential and starting-point for the development of more efficacious analogs.
Catalyst- and acid-free Markovnikov hydration of alkynes in a sustainable H2O/ethyl lactate system

An efficient and sustainable protocol for the hydration of alkynes has been developed under metal/acid/catalyst/ligand-free conditions in a water/ethyl lactate mixture. The hydrogen-bond network in the ethyl lactate and water mixture plays a crucial and decisive role in activating the alkynes for hydration to afford the corresponding methyl ketones. This strategy gives the Markovnikov (ketone) addition product selectively over other possible products. The essential role of hydrogen bonding has been confirmed by experimental and theoretical techniques. A probable mechanism has been suggested by various control tests. The efficacy of the method has been further explored for the competent production of value-added α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds through the reaction of aldehydes with alkynes as ketonic surrogates. The environmentally benign hydration method takes place under mild conditions, has broad functional-group compatibility, and uses the ethyl lactate/water (1:3) medium as a “green alternative” in the absence of any hazardous, harmful, or expensive substances.

Metalloenzyme is a source of inspiration for chemists who attempt to create versatile synthetic catalysts for aqueous catalysis. Herein, we impart metalloenzyme-like characteristics to a chiral FeII-oxazoline complex by incorporating an Fe(ii) ion into a chiral oxazoline-containing discrete self-folded polymer, to realize highly enantioselective sulfa-Michael addition (SMA) in water. Intrachain FeII-oxazoline complexation together with hydrophobic interactions triggers the self-folding of the oxazoline-containing single polymeric chain in water. The formed FeII-folded single-chain polymeric nanoparticles (SCPNs) significantly accelerate the aqueous asymmetric SMA reaction via a self-folded hydrophobic compartment around the catalytic sites, reminiscent of metalloenzymatic catalysis. In addition, they can be facilely recovered for reuse by simple thermo-controlled separation due to their thermo-responsive properties. Such metallo-folded SCPNs combine the benefits of transition metal- and bio-catalyst, and avoid the tedious procedures of separation, which is a benefit for energy-saving and industrial applications.

Chalcones are a group of natural products with many recognized biological activities, including antiparasitic activity. Although a lot of chalcones have been synthetized and assayed against parasites, the number of structural features known to be involved in this biological property is small. Thus, in the present study, 21 chalcones were synthesized to determine the effect of substituents in the A and B rings on the activity against Leishmania braziliensis, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Plasmodium falciparum. The compounds were active against L. braziliensis in a structure-dependent manner. Only one compound was very active against T. cruzi, but none of them had a significant antiplasmodial activity. The electron-donating substituents in ring B and the hydrogen bonds at C-2′ with carbonyl affect the antiparasitic activity.
