Ultrasound-assisted convenient synthesis of hypolipidemic active natural methoxylated (E)-arylalkenes and arylalkanones
摘要:
An ultrasound-assisted convenient method was developed for the conversion of toxic methoxylated cis-isomer of arylalkenes into its hypolipidemic active trans-isomer. Treatment of cis-isomer or mixture of all three isomers (1a-1j) with ammonium formate and 10% Pd/C gave arylalkanes (2a-2j), which upon oxidation with DDQ in anhydrous dioxane containing a little amount of silica gel, provided (E)-arylalkenes (3a-3g) in 42-72% yield depending upon the substituents attached at the aryl ring. The same method, upon addition of a few drops of water, provided hypolipidemic active arylalkanones (3h-3j) in 59-65% yield. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
