The present invention provides a novel class of 4,5-diaryl-3(2H)-furanone derivatives, which inhibit strongly and selectively COX-2 over COX-1. They are useful to treat inflammation, inflammation-associated disorders, and COX-2 mediated diseases.
A copper-catalyzed [4 + 1] annulation between α-hydroxy ketones and nitriles has been developed. The reaction provides a facile and efficient method for the construction of a wide range of highlysubstituted 3(2H)-furanones, a class of important compounds known to be associated with several biological activities.
