Design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation against human cancer cells of 5-methyl-5-styryl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ones, a new series of goniothalamin analogues
摘要:
The present work describes the preparation of a novel series of compounds based on the structure of goniothalamin (1), a natural styryl lactone with known cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities against a variety of cancer cell lines. A focused library of 17 goniothalamin analogues displaying the 5-methyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-one motif were prepared, and their cytotoxicity evaluated. While the analogues bearing methoxy and/or hydroxy groups on the aromatic moiety usually were at least three times less potent than the lead compound (1), ortho and para-trifluoromethyl analogues 10 and 11 exhibited levels of cytotoxicity similar to goniothalamin (1) against most cancer cell lines evaluated. One could suggest that the electronic effect of the trifluoromethyl group activates the inhibitor's electrophilic site via reduction of the electron density of the alpha,beta-unsaturated ester oxygen atom. These results provide new information on the structure activity relationship of these alpha,beta-unsaturated styryl lactones, thereby further focusing the design of novel candidates.

A regioselective rollover cyclometallation, assisted by conjugatedolefin, is unveiled for the annulation of alkynes at two distant C−H bonds of o-alkenyl phenols. The annulation follows a concomitant cyclization rewarding a rare triple C−H functionalization. The reaction is also totally regioselective with an array of unsymmetrical alkynes, taking the leverage of an extended conjugation or a tertiary
Efficient Synthesis of 1,3,5-Trisubstituted (Pyrrol-2-yl)acetic Acid Esters via Dual Nucleophilic Reactions of Sulfonamides or Carbamate with 4-Trimethyl-siloxy-(5<i>E</i>)-hexen-2-ynoates: Lewis Acid Catalyzed S<sub>N</sub>1 and Intramolecular Michael Addition
Carbamates or sulfonamides have proven to regioselectively attack 2-propynyl-allyl hybrid cations, generated by the action of TMSOTf on 4-(trimethylsioxy)hex-5-en-2-ynoates, to afford conjugated 6-aminohex-4-en-2-ynoates in which an intramolecular amino-Michael reaction took place, leading to pyrrole frameworks. In particular, the sulfonamides gave 1-sulfonylpyrroles in one pot.

A highly selective and efficient Pt-catalyzed pentannulation reaction beginning from propargylic esters is described. The key to this reaction is the use of a PtCl2(PPh3)2/PhIO catalyst combination that allows the in situ generation of Pt-carbenoid intermediates, which lead to good yields (61-84%) of the desired pentannulated compounds.
