Design, synthesis and MAO inhibitory activity of 2-(arylmethylidene)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-3-one derivatives
摘要:
A series of 2-(arylmethylidene)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-3-one derivatives (aurones, 1-20) were synthesized and screened for their inhibitory activity against hMAO. Seventeen compounds (1-5, 7-17, 19) were found to be selective towards hMAO-B, while two were non -selective (6 and 20) and one (18) selective towards hMAO-A. Compound 17 (Ki = 0.10 +/- 0.01 mu mol/L) was found to be equally potent and selective towards hMAO-B, when compared with the standard drug Selegiline (Ki = 0.12 0.01 p.mol/L). Nature and position of substitution in aryl ring at 2nd position of benzofuranone influences hMAO-B inhibitory potency, while their structural bulkiness influences selectivity between hMAO-A and hMAO-B. Molecular docking simulation was also carried out to understand the interaction of inhibitor with the enzyme at molecular level, and we found the docking results were in good agreement with the experimental values. Comparison of the activity profile of the aurones with their corresponding flavones reported earlier by our group revealed that there exists no difference in potency as well as selectivity.

Bifunctional N‐heterocyclic carbenes with a free hydroxy group are demonstrated as efficient catalysts for the [3+4] annulation of enals with aurones to give the corresponding benzofuran‐fused ε‐lactones in good yields with good diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities. Control experiments reveal that the [3+4] cycloadducts are kinetically favored and could be transformed to the thermodynamically
Azonanes were prepared by a palladium-catalyzed (5 + 4) cycloaddition between activated vinylcyclopropanes and 1-azadienes. During this process, the vinylcyclopropane partner displayed an unusual reactivity and behaved as an all-carbon 1,5-dipole. A N,N-bidentate ligand was required to inhibit the formation of thermodynamic (3 + 2) cycloadducts.

azadienes (BDAs) have been widely used as four-atom synthons in transition-metal-mediated cycloaddition reactions, while the exploitation of their reactivity as a two-atom unit to construct spirocycles is still underdeveloped. Herein, we reported the first palladium(0)-catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective [3 + 2] annulation of vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) and BDAs. This transformation is featured with
Regio- and Diastereoselective Spirocyclopropanation of Benzofuran-Derived Azadienes through 1,4-Addition-Induced Dearomatization Reaction under Mild Conditions
A Cs2CO3-mediated [2 + 1] cycloaddition of benzofuran-derived azadienes (BDAs) with bromomalonate by using a dearomatization strategy has been developed. Through this process, BDAs serve as a potential 2-atom synthon in the construction of a range of functionalized spirocyclopropane derivatives, such as spirobenzofuran-2-cyclopropanes and spiroindane-2-cyclopropanes.
