A novel sulfa-Michael/aldol cascade reaction of (E)-3-arylidenechroman-4-ones with 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol has been developed. This method provides a new practical and facile approach to 4′-hydroxy-2′-aryl-4′,5′-dihydro-2′H-spiro[chroman-3,3′-thiophen]-4-ones with three contiguous stereocenters in high yields. The transformation is atom-economic with good to excellent diastereoselectivities.
A series of (E)-3-heteroarylidenechroman-4-ones (1a-r) was designed, synthesized and investigated in vitro for their ability to inhibit the enzymatic activity of both human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) isoforms, hMAO-A and hMAO-B. All the compounds were found to be selective hMAO-B inhibitors showing IC50 values in the nanomolar or micromolar range. (E)-5,7-Dichloro-3-[(2-(dimethylamino) pyrimidin-5-yl]methylene}chroman-4-one (1c) was the most interesting compound identified in this study, endowed with higher hMAO-B potency (IC50 = 10.58 nM) and selectivity (SI > 9452) with respect to the reference selective inhibitor selegiline (IC50 = 19.60 nM, IC50 > 3431). Molecular modelling studies were performed for rationalizing at molecular level the target selective inhibition of our compounds, revealing a remarkable contribution of hydrogen bond network and water solvent.
