Benzylidene–oxazolones as photoswitches: photochemistry and theoretical calculations
摘要:
The photophysics and photochemistry of a family of compounds proposed as efficient molecular photoswitches is presented. The effect of different light sources, substituents and solvents in the photostationary state has been explored. A detailed mechanistic description is also discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The invention provides a method of treating or inhibiting the growth of or eradicating a tumor in a mammal in need thereof wherein said tumor is resistant to at least one chemotherapeutic agent which method comprises providing to said mammal an effective amount of a compound of Formula II or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
An N-acyl-substituted or unsubstituted phenylalanine is prepared by hydrolyzing a 2-substituted-4-substituted or unsubstituted benzylidene-5-oxazolone with an alkali, adjusting the reaction system containing its hydrolysis product with acid to a pH of 5 - 9 and reducing the resultant reaction solution catalytically in the presence of a palladium or platinum reducing catalyst. The reduction is carried out continuously without isolating the alkaline hydrolysis product, i.e., a substituted or unsubstituted N-acylaminocinnamic acid from the reaction system.
The catalyst can be recovered after completion of the reduction and used repeatedly without additional treatment and without any observed lowering in its catalytic activity. Accordingly, the reductions using the recovered catalyst may proceed at pratically the same rate as reductions using a fresh catalyst.
