Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) was used to synthesise five 4H-chromenes, a naphthol and an indenol. These are the first examples of RCM applied to the synthesis of such benzo-fusedbicyclic compounds.

Studies towards the synthesis of the bacterial peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitor fumimycin are reported. The synthetic approach features an organocatalytic access to the α,α-disubstituted amino acid unit and results in the synthesis of an advanced intermediate which already contains all functionalities of fumimycin.
The human CYP2A6 enzyme metabolizes several xenobiotics including nicotine, the addictive component in tobacco. Reduced activity of CYP2A6, either for genetic reasons or by administering inhibitors of CYP2A6, reduces tobacco smoking. The reported compound methoxalen had a potent inhibitory effect on activity of CYP2A6 with an IC50 value of 1.27 mu M. We selected methoxalen as a lead compound and prepared various dimethoxybenzofuran derivatives that have inhibitory effects on activity of human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6. Synthetic benzofuran derivatives (3,6-dimethoxybenzofuran: IC50=1.92 mu M and 3,7-dimethoxybenzofuran: IC50=2.00 mu M) also exhibited comparable activities against CYP2A6 and were selective inhibitors of CYP2A6. These compounds can be used as lead compounds in the development of drugs for smoking reduction therapy.

Six 4H-chromenes were synthesized from substituted phenols using vinylstannylation and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as key steps. In addition, a different approach involving amongst other steps, an aryl allyl isomerization and RCM afforded a set of seven 2H-chromenes from phenolic precursors. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
