Synthesis of flavonoids based novel tetrahydropyran conjugates (Prins products) and their antiproliferative activity against human cancer cell lines
摘要:
Following our previously reported Prins cyclization strategy, a series of novel and highly functionalized flavonoid based THPs (Prins products) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-proliferative activity. Novel products were afforded in excellent yields (72-96%) within 20-90 min at 62 degrees C using flavonoid aldehydes, homoallylic alcohols, p-TSA center dot H2O (catalyst and reagent) and MS 4 angstrom in CHCl3. Deprotection of tosyl group was achieved with TFA (catalyst and solvent) at 140 degrees C to obtain 4-hydroxytetrahydropyrans and further reaction of 4-hydroxytetrahydropyrans with cinnamoyl chloride afforded 4-cinnamate tetrahydropyrans under neat condition. Synthesized compounds evaluated against human cancer cell lines (Hep3 beta, MCF-7 and Hela), have shown moderate to good antiproliferative activity in vivo. Compounds 3q and 3zb exhibited similar cytotoxicity (IC50 6.6 +/- 1.4, 6.9 +/- 1.0 mu M, respectively) to the reference drug doxorubicin (IC50 7.6 +/- 0.9 mu M) against the MCF-7 cancer cell line. Compound 3zb was found equally active as the standard drug (IC50 4.48 +/- 2.1 mu M) against the Hep3 beta cell line and compounds 3c and 3q showed moderate cytotoxicity (IC50 10.40 +/- 1.1, 12.9 +/- 1.7 mu M, respectively) against the HeLa cell line.

Development of chiral dinitrones as modular Lewis base catalysts: asymmetric allylation of aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilanes
摘要:
Chiral dinitrones were synthesized by the condensation of a C-2-symmetrical chiral dihydroxylamine with various aldehydes. The electronic and steric properties of the dinitrones can be modified by changing the aldehyde component. The activity of dinitrones as Lewis base catalysts was examined for the asymmetric allylation of aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilanes. Using DMPU as an additive in chloroform, the reaction proceeded at room temperature to afford allylated products in good yields and good enantioselectivities. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Versatility of titanium: Titanocene(III) complexes catalyze Barbier‐type allylations, intramolecular crotylations (cyclizations), and prenylations of a wide range of aldehydes and ketones. These reactions take place at RT under mild conditions compatible with many functional groups; provide good yields of open‐chain and cyclic homoallylic alcohols, including heterocyclic derivatives; and can be conducted
