solvent, the reactions could be performed in yields ranging from 40 to 70%. Most of the products were tested for their antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, and cytotoxic (MCF-7) activity. Xanthone, thioxanthone, fluorenone, benzophenone, 2-benzoylpyridine, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophene were deprotonated using a base prepared in situ from MCl2·TMEDA (M = Zn or Cd; TMEDA = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine)

The metallation of arylketones was achieved by using LiTMP in the presence of ZnCl2·TMEDA, as evidenced by subsequent interception with iodine or by a palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reaction. One of the synthesized iodo ketones has been further elaborated to reach derivatives of biological interest.
β-epoxy-γ-butyrolactones were synthesized in moderate yields via oxiranyl remote anions derived from epoxy cinnamate esters. The key synthetic step involved deprotonation of the β-position of α,β-epoxy cinnamate derivatives where the generated β-anion was stabilized by remote chelation from an ester group. The substitution reaction of the anion with a variety of ketones, followed by cyclization, readily
