Benzyl 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-d-arabino-hexos-2-ulo-1,5-pyranoside was subjected to manno-selective ketone alkynylation with propiolaldehyde dibenzyl acetal, resulting in the formation of a 2-C-alkynyl β-mannoside bearing a γ-dibenzyl acetal functionality. Subsequent transacetalization of the acetal moiety with methanol and 1,3-dihydroxypropane and acetylation of position 2, respectively, gave 4 different 2-C-alkynyl branched mannosides. Lindlar hydrogenation of the latter under optimized conditions in dimethylformamide afforded a series of 2-C-cis-alkenyl mannosides. X-ray molecular structures of benzyl 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-d-arabino-hexos-2-ulo-1,5-pyranoside and of the branched glycoside benzyl 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-C-((Z)-3,3-dibenzyloxyprop-1-en-1-yl)-β-d-mannopyranoside are reported.

Antiproliferative activity of this compound was screened against breast (MCF-7), colon (HCT-116), and liver (HEPG-2) cancer cell lines. The tested compound exhibited cytotoxic activity with IC50 = 5.00–32.52 μM. Moreover, inhibitory activity of this compound was evaluated against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), the insulin receptor (IR), and the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). This target compound showed potent inhibitory activity, especially against FGFR with IC50 = 5.18 μM. Full article

The title chalcone (E)-1-(2-aminophenyl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one was prepared with an excellent yield from a Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction between o-aminoacetophenone and p-chlorobenzaldehyde. This product will be used as a key precursor for the development of an alternative route for the total synthesis of dubamine and graveoline alkaloids. Single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown via slow evaporation in ethanol at room temperature. A complete crystallographic study was performed in depth to unequivocally confirm its structure and determine some interesting supramolecular properties. The crystal structure of the title o-aminochalcone, C15H12ClNO, shows two molecules per asymmetric unit (Z′ = 2) and adopts an E configuration about the C=C double bond. In the title compound, the mean plane of the non-H atoms of the central chalcone fragment C—C(O)—C—C—C is as follows: [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0130 Å for A-B and 0.0043 for C-D molecules]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...N and C—H...O, hydrogen bonds forming edge-fused R66(46) rings parallel to (100). Additionally, N—H...O hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network. Full article

Direct 2(5H)-furanone annulation produces promising cross-coupling partners incorporating m- or p-bromo- and p-tosyloxyphenyl groups into the 5-position of a notable 2(5H)-furanone pharmacore. The present one-pot annulation method involves two distinctive reactions: (i) a powerful and crossed Ti-direct aldol addition and (ii) an acid-induced characteristic cyclo-condensation, leading to 2(5H)-furanones. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of 5-(4-bromophenyl)-furan-2(5H)-ones, 5-(4-tosyloxyphenyl)-3,4-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-ones and a furan derivative successfully afforded the corresponding products with the 2(5H)-furanone skeleton.
