The present invention is directed to a specifically substituted tetrahydrofuran of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.4 is an alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl or alkylsulfonyl containing group, Y is an alkyl or substituted alkyl group, R.sup.6 is an alkyl or a substituted alkyl group and the substituents at positions 3, 4 or 5 are acyclic.
Two practical and efficient approaches have been implemented as alternative procedures for the synthesis of naftifine and novel diversely substituted analogues 16 and 20 in good to excellent yields, mediated by Mannich-type reactions as the key step of the processes. In these approaches, the γ-aminoalcohols 15 and 19 were obtained as the key intermediates and their subsequent dehydration catalyzed

(-)-trans-(2S,5S)-2-[3-[(2-Oxopropyl)sulfonyl]-4-n-propoxy-5-(3- hydroxypropoxy)phenyl]-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)tetrahydrofuran (10) is one of the most potent platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonists in vitro and in vivo developed to date. This diaryltetrahydrofuran derivative evolved from modifications of MK 0287 which has been evaluated in clinical studies for asthma. Two structural modifications

A screening program directed to find new agents against Leishmania donovani, the parasite causing visceral leishmaniasis, revealed that paullones attenuate the proliferation of axenic amastigotes. Because these structures were not active in a test system involving infected macrophages, a structure optimization campaign was carried out. Concomitant introduction of an unsaturated side chain into the 2-position and a tert-butyl substituent into the 9-position of the parent scaffold led to compounds inhibiting also parasites dwelling in macrophages. By inclusion of the so elaborated scaffold into a chalcone substructure, the toxicity against uninfected host cells was significantly reduced. For the synthesis of this new compound class, a novel modification of the Heck-type palladium-catalyzed C,C-cross coupling strategy was used, employing a ketone Mannich base as precursor for the alkene reactant. The so-prepared compounds exhibited improved antileishmanial activity both on axenic amastigotes (GI(50) < 1 mu M) as well as on parasites in infected macrophages.
