confirmed using X‐ray crystallography. In catalytic activity studies, complex 5 was found to be an effective catalyst in the hydrogen‐transfer reduction of α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds into the corresponding saturated carbonyl compounds.
This invention relates to compounds of Formula (I), (II), or (III) as shown in the specification, which contain a 1,5-diphenylpenta-1,4-dien-3-one backbone. These compounds can be used to treat cancer, inflammatory disease, or autoimmune disease.
secondary amine amide catalysts were developed for the asymmetric Michaeladdition of 4-hydroxycoumarin to α,β-unsaturated ketones. A series of important biologically and pharmaceutically active compounds were obtained in excellent yields (up to 99 %) with high enantioselectivities (up to 89 % ee) under mild conditions. In addition, enantiopure product could be obtained by a single recrystallization

Synthesis of a chemical compound having the formula A-B-C that may serve for applications such as drug delivery where A is a chemiluminescent, moiety, B is a photochromic moiety, and C is a biologically active moiety where A-B-C may serve as a prodrug. Novel synthetic methods of the present invention to form the prodrug comprised the steps of (1) forming a benzophenone, (2) forming a diaryl ethylene, (3) attaching a phthalimide moiety to at least one of the aryl groups of the ethylene to form a phthalimide-ethylene conjugate, (4) condensing two ethylene-phthalimide conjugates to form a phthalimide-pentadiene conjugate, (5) converting the phthalimide to the phthalhydrazide by reaction with hydrazine to form a carrier compound according to the present invention, and (6) reacting the carrier compound with an nucleophilic moiety of the drug to form the corresponding prodrug. Alternatively the carrier can be prepared by using the halo-substituted diaryl ethylene to make the corresponding cationic leuco dye-like compound with known methods. The cationic compound then is protected by reacting with a nucleophile and coupled with the aminophathalimide by palladium-catalyzed amination to form the protected phthalimide-pentadiene conjugate. The latter is refluxed with hydrazine to convert its phthalimide to the phthalhydrazide and acidified to give the carrier. An additional aspect of the present invention relates to the use of these compounds as antiviral agents for the treatment of viral infections such as HIV and as anticancer agents for the treatment of cancers such as bowel, lung, and breast cancer.
A generalmethod to access diverse chiral phenols by rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate arylation using hydroxylated arylboronic acids in ethanol was developed. Recycling of the rhodium catalyst by flash chromatography on silica gel was feasible in this system. The synthetic utility of the strategy was demonstrated by efficient synthesis of chiral drug tolterodine.
