Aiming to develop anticancer agents, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of aromatic dienyl diketone derivatives were carried out. All the aromatic (Z,E)-dienyl diketones synthesized exhibit strong in vitro inhibition of tumor cell growth against Colon cell line. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The 1,6-dioxo (E,E)-diene has two available sites for isomerization td the (Z) configuration and can undergo an intramolecular acid-catalyzed cyclization to furanonium intermediates A and B, giving two distinct regioisomeric cyclized products. With unsubstituted aryl derivatives, unfused polyaromatic furans were obtained in good yield with HCl-AcOH. Aryl groups having electron-withdrawing substituents were found to give the opposite regioselectivity. In contrast, the reaction in p-TsOH-CH2Cl2 always resulted in a mixture of regioisomeric products, irrespective of the aryl substituents. Thus, the regioselectivity in the intramolecular cyclization of 1,6-dioxo 2,4-diene can be tuned by varying the aromatic substituents and the acid conditions.
