A synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,2-diarylethane-1,2-dione is reported involving the intramolecular cyclization of anionic benzylic ester of the aryl benzyl ether followed by oxidation employing dioxirane. With the use of microwave irradiation, licoagrodione was prepared from Claisen rearrangement of the corresponding allyl phenyl ether 1,2-diketone readily available from the Lindlar's reduction of the
A series of novel salicylic acid derivatives containing metronidazole as Staphylococcus aureus Tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS) inhibitors have been synthesized and evaluated their biology activities as potential antibacterial agents. Among these compounds, compound 5r exhibited the most potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive (S. aureus ATCC 6538 and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 35218 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 13525) with MICs of 0.39-1.57 mu g/mL and showed the most potent S. aureus Tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitory with 2.3 mu M. Docking simulation was performed to insert compound 5r into the crystal structure of S. aureus Tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase active site to determine the probable binding model. These results suggested that compound 5r may be a promising antibacterial agent. (c) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Aryl (4-methoxyphenyl)methyl (MPM) ethers are cleaved by heating with acetic acid for a few hours at 90-degrees-C, producing the corresponding phenols and (4-methoxyphenyl)methyl acetate. Under the same conditions alkyl MPM ethers are transformed directly into the corresponding alkyl acetates.
A convenient approach for the deprotection and scavenging of the PMB group using POCl3
convenient and high yielding approach for the deprotection and scavenging of the p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) group in PMB ethers and PMB esters was developed using POCl3 as the reagent. 4-Methoxybenzyl chloride, a starting material used for the preparation of PMB ethers and esters was regenerated in the deprotection step. This mild and selective procedure tolerates several acid sensitive functional groups.

3-(p-Tolylsulphinyl)chromone 3a undergoes diastereoselectiveconjugateaddition of lithium dimethylcuprate, producing a mixture of 2-methyl-3-(p-tolylsulphinyl)chroman-4-ones. Heating the mixture to 140°C gives 2-methylchromone in quantitative yield. Desulphurisation of the mixed products from (S)-3a gives (S)-2-methylchroman-4-one with 90% e.e. Chelation of the carbonyl and sulphoxide oxygens during
