Bioactive pyranoxanthones from the roots of Calophyllum blancoi

Phytochemical investigation of the roots of Calophyllum blancoi growing in Taiwan resulted in the isolation of three new pyranoxanthones, blancoxanthone (1), acetyl blancoxanthone (2) and 3-hydroxyblancoxanthone (3), in addition to two known pyranoxanthones, pyranojacaeubin (4) and caloxanthone (5). Structural characterization of the isolated compounds was determined by spectral analyses especially 2-D NMR. Biological study of the isolated xanthones revealed that blancoxanthone (1) exhibited significant anti-coronavirus activity.     

Synthesis and characterization of the open-framework barium bisphosphonate [Ba3(O3PCH2NH2CH2PO3)2(H2O)4].3H2O

Following the strategy of using polyfunctional phosphonic acids for the synthesis of open-framework metal phosphonates, the phosphonocarboxylic acid (H2O3PCH2)2NCH2C6H4COOH was used in the hydrothermal synthesis of new Ba phosphonates. Its decomposition led to the first open-framework barium phosphonate [Ba3(O3PCH2NH2CH2PO3)2(H2O)4].3H2O. The synthesis was also successfully performed using iminobis(methylphosphonic acid), (H2O3PCH2)2NH, as a starting material, and the synthesis was optimized to obtain as a pure material. The reaction setup as well as the pH are the dominant parameters, and only a diffusion-controlled reaction led to the desired compound. The crystal structure was solved from single-crystal data: monoclinic; C2/c; a=2328.7(2), b=1359.95(7), and c=718.62(6) pm; beta=98.732(10) degrees ; V=2249.5(3)x10(6) pm3; Z=4; R1=0.036; and wR2=0.072 (all data). The structure of [Ba3(O3PCH2NH2CH2PO3)2(H2O)4].3H2O is built up from BaO8 and BaO10 polyhedra forming BaO chains and layers, respectively. These are connected to a three-dimensional metal-oxygen-metal framework with the iminobis(methylphosphonic acid) formally coating the inner walls of the pores. The one-dimensional pores (3.6x4 A) are filled with H2O molecules that can be thermally removed. Thermogravimetric investigations and temperature-dependent X-ray powder diffraction demonstrate the stability of the crystal structure up to 240 degrees C. The uptake of N,N-dimethylformamide and H2O by dehydrated samples is demonstrated. Furthermore, IR, Raman, and 31P magic-angle-spinning NMR data are also presented.

The first alpha-fluoroallenylphosphonate, the synthesis of conjugated fluoroenynes, and the stereoselective synthesis of vinylfluorophosphonates using a new multifunctional fluorine-containing building block

Limitations on current methodologies for the introduction of CF(2) and CFH in complex alpha-fluorophosphonates led to the synthesis of a fluorine-containing building block TIPS-C&tbd1;CCFXP(O)(OEt)(2), where X = H or F. This multifunctional fluorine synthon reacts with carbonyl compounds under WHE conditions to give high yields of fluorinated conjugated enynes and enediyne. When X = F, trapping of the desilylated anion with an electrophile after TIPS removal provided exclusive access to gamma-substituted derivatives of alpha-fluorophosphonates. When X = H, TBAF deprotection of the silyl group yields H(2)C=C=CFP(O)(OEt)(2) through an allenyl-propargyl resonance stabilized anion. The allene moiety has been used as template in the stereoselective synthesis of alpha-fluoro-beta, gamma-diiodopropenyl phosphonate, via electrophilic iodination, and alpha-fluoro-gamma-amino-alpha,beta-unsaturated phosphonates, including unsaturated phosphononucleosides, by nucleophilic displacement of an allylic iodide. Hydroamination of H(2)C=C=CFP(O)(OEt)(2) using secondary amines produced (Z)-alpha-fluoroenaminophosphonates, whereas Diels-Alder cycloaddition with cyclopentadiene provides the corresponding exocyclic vinylfluorophosphonate.

Recent development in transition metal-catalysed C–H olefination

Transition metal-catalysed functionalizations of inert C–H bonds to construct C–C bonds represent an ideal route in the synthesis of valuable organic molecules. Fine tuning of directing groups, catalysts and ligands has played a crucial role in selective C–H bond (sp² or sp³) activation. Recent developments in these areas have assured a high level of regioselectivity in C–H olefination reactions. In this review, we have summarized the recent progress in the oxidative olefination of sp² and sp³ C–H bonds with special emphasis on distal, atroposelective, non-directed sp² and directed sp³ C–H olefination. The scope, limitation, and mechanism of various transition metal-catalysed olefination reactions have been described briefly.

Vinylacetylene chemistry

It is shown that heating vinylacetylenic piperidols I with phosphorus oxychloride in pyridine solution gives dienynes II, the structure of which is determined, in the case of II (R=H), by means of IR spectra and PMR. Hydration of the dienynes II (R=H, Me) in the presence of mercuric sulfate in methanol solution gives -methoxyketones III (R=H, Me). It is also shown that III and aqueous solutions of ammonia or primary amines give the bicyclic piperid-4-ones IV. In the synthesis of IV (R=H, R₁ = i-Pr, Bu) imines V are obtained, which on hydrolysis give piperidones IV (R = H, R₁ = i-Pr, Bu). When the ß-methoxyketone III (R = H) is heated with 5% sulfuric acid in the presence of mercuric sulfate, chroman-4-one is formed.

Facile synthesis of axially chiral styrene-type carboxylic acids via palladium-catalyzed asymmetric C–H activation

A novel method by a one-step introduction of axial chirality and sterically hindered group has been developed for facile synthesis of axially chiral styrene-type carboxylic acids. With the palladium-catalyzed C–H arylation and olefination of readily available cinnamic acid established, this transformation demonstrated excellent yield, excellent stereocontrol (up to 99% yield and 99% ee), and broad substrate scope under mild conditions. The axially chiral styrene-type carboxylic acids produced have been successfully applied to Cp*Co^III-catalyzed asymmetric C–H activation reactions, indicating their potential as chiral ligands or catalysts in asymmetric synthesis.

Spiro-compounds,synthesis and catalytic dehydrogenation of substituted spiro[5,5] undecanes

Catalytic dehydrogenation of 1-propyl-8,9-benzospiro[5,5]undecane-7-ol (5: R = H), and 1-propyl-3′-methyl-8,9-benzospiro[5,5]undecane-7-ol (5: R = Me) has been carried out to study the effect of a bulky alkyl group on the ring in the ring transformation of the spiro[5,5]undecane system. The catalytic dehydrogenation of the spiro-compound 5(R = H) gave phenanthrene and 1-ethylpyrene (minor product) and spiro compound 5(R = Me) gave only 3-methylphenanthrene. For the synthesis of 5 (R = H or Me), the anhydride (1) of 1-carboxy-2-propylcyclohexane-1-acetic acid was condensed with benzene and toluene to give 2 (R = H or Me) which was reduced catalytically to 3(R = H or Me).

Total synthesis of penta-Me amurensin H and diptoindonesin G featuring a Rh-catalyzed carboacylation/aromatization cascade enabled by CC activation

Oligostilbenoids represented a family of natural products, which contained one or several multifused benzofuran substructures and displayed promising biological activities towards cancer as well as immunological therapeutic targets. A convergent-divergent strategy featuring Rh-catalyzed carboacylation/aromatization cascade reaction based on CC activation of benzocyclbutenones had been conceived. penta-Methyl amurensin H and diptoindolnesin G were successfully synthesized without any protecting groups, constituting a new entry towards oligostilbenoids’ natural product synthesis. The synthesis completed within 10 steps for both natural products, suggesting conciseness and efficacy of the CC activation in complex natural product synthesis.

A New Synthesis of 3-Aryl-5-Arylmethylene-2(5H)-Furanones

A recent report about the synthesis of di and tri-substituted 2 (5H)-furanones starting from bromoaldehydes and potassium phenyl-acetate¹ prompts us to report our own studies on the preparation of 3-aryl-5-arylmethylene-2 (5H)-furanones (or butenolides) 1. We have earlier reported² a general method for the synthesis of 1 from phenylpropargyl aldehyde, 2 and arylacetic acids. Although several methods have been reported for the synthesis of the parent compound 1 (R = R₁ = Ph)^3–6, these methods have not been extended to other substituted furanones. Saikachi and Taniguchi⁷ prepared 1 (R = 5-nitro-2-thenyl, R₁ = 2-thenyl and 2-furyl) in 16–17% yields.
