Thiaflavan scavenges radicals and inhibits DNA oxidation: A story from the ferrocene modification
摘要:
4-Thiaflavan is a sulfur-substituted flavonoid with a benzoxathiin scaffold. The aim of this work is to compare abilities of sulfur and oxygen atom, hydroxyl groups, and ferrocene moiety at different positions of 4-thiaflavan to trap radicals and to inhibit DNA oxidation. It is found that abilities of thiaflavans to trap radicals and to inhibit DNA oxidation are increased in the presence of ferrocene moiety and are further improved by the electron-donating group attaching to thiaflavan skeleton. It can be concluded that the ferrocene moiety plays the major role for thiaflavans to be antioxidants even in the absence of phenolic hydroxyl groups. On the other hand, the antioxidant effectiveness of phenolic hydroxyl groups in thiaflavans can be improved by the electron-donating group. The influences of sulfur and oxygen atoms in thiaflavans on the antioxidant property of para-hydroxyl group exhibit different manners when the thiaflavans are used to trap radicals and to inhibit DNA oxidation.

The reaction of transient ortho-thioquinones, which act as electron-poor dienes, with properly designed bis-dienophiles leads to the formation of helical-shaped bis-benzoxathiine cycloadducts with complete control of the regiochemistry and the relative stereochemistry. Bis-benzoxathiines were the result of two consecutive inverse-electron-demand cycloaddition processes with stereospecific approach

Under kinetic control, the reaction of o-thioquinones with acyclic 1,3-dienes afforded, as main products, the spiro cycloadducts deriving from the participation of the thiones as dienophiles. Under thermodynamic control, or with cyclic dienes, the thioquinones behave as hetero dienes to give the benzoxathiin derivatives with complete regioselectivity.
procedure for the sulfenylation of indoles and pyrroles based on an aromatic substitution with α-acylthiones used as electrophiles is described. The sulfenylating species were obtained, under very mild reaction conditions, from N-thiophthalimides, using a weak base (pyridine or triethylamine) as promoter. The overall yields obtained are comparable with those obtained by other known sulfenylation protocols
α,α′-Dioxothione 1a and ortho-thioquinones 2a and 2b are able to react with several phenols and N,N-dimethylaniline to give the corresponding alkyl aryl or diaryl sulfides. The mechanism of this reaction was proved to be an electrophilic aromatic substitution undergone by the highly polarised carbon−sulfur double bond. Following this procedure, the atropoisomeric biphenyl compound 26 was also prepared
