A transition-metal-free
CC double bond cleavage reaction
employing molecular iodine is described. In the presence of K2CO3 as the base, I2-mediated CC
bond cleavage followed by intramolecular annulation of N-(2-vinylaryl)pyridin-2-amine substrates produces pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolinones and related heterocyclic compounds. This
reaction can be completed on a gram scale and has been successfully
applied to the synthesis of compounds with important biological properties,
including efflux pump inhibitory and antiallergic activities.
A facile synthesis of novel dispiroheterocycles has been developed through one-pot [3+2] cycloaddition between isatins, amino acids, and aurones. Thirty different dispiroheterocycles were synthesized eusing this method which features mild conditions, convenient operation, and high efficacy. Evaluation of the bioactivity of these dispiroheterocyclic products revealed antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV).
A series of 1-azaaurone derivatives were designed and synthesized from 3,5-dimethoxyaniline and 2-chloroacetonitrile. Their structures were characterized by melting point, 1 H NMR, IR, and elemental analysis, as well as 13 C NMR. The target compounds were evaluated for antitumor activities against human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cell line (HepG-2) and human cervix carcinoma cell line (Hela) using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium method. The results revealed that several 1-azaaurones exhibited strong proliferation inhibition efficacy against HepG-2 and Hela with an IC 50 range of 5.6-8.8 μg/mL without damaging normal cell.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
