A series of benzylidene-3-pyrrolines were prepared from chalcone derivatives, arylacetylene and sulfonamide via a three-step sequence without the isolation of intermediates. Typically, the reaction of 1,3-di-p-tolylprop-2-en-1-one with lithium phenylacetylide was followed by substitution with tosylamide and then silver-catalyzed 5-exo-dig cyclization to give N-tosyl-2-benzylidene-3,5-di-p-tolyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole with a 86% yield. Furthermore, transformation to the corresponding substituted 3-pyrrolin-2-one and pyrrole by m-chloroperbenzoic acid (mcpba)-oxidation and acid-catalyzed aromatization, respectively, was investigated.

<div>Catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions have recently been developed as a powerful tool for carbon-carbon bond</div><div>formation. However, currently available synthetic protocols rely exclusively on aryl ketone substrates while the corresponding aliphatic analogs remain elusive. We herein report the development of Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin ring-closing metathesis reactions for aliphatic ketones. Mechanistic investigations are consistent with a distinct mode of activation relying on the in situ formation of a homobimetallic singly-bridged iron(III)-dimer as the active catalytic species. These “superelectrophiles” function as more powerful Lewis acid catalysts that form upon association of individual iron(III)-monomers. While this mode of Lewis acid activation has previously been postulated to exist, it has not yet been applied in a catalytic setting. The insights presented are expected to enable further advancement in Lewis acid catalysis by building upon the activation principle of “superelectrophiles” and broaden the current scope of catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions.</div>

Unprotected keto- and aldoximes are readily <i>C</i>-allylated with allyl diisopropyl boronate in the presence of arylboronic acid catalysts to yield highly-substituted <i>N</i>-alpha-secondary (2°) and tertiary (3°) hydroxylamines. The method’s synthetic utility is demonstrated with the total synthesis of the trace alkaloid <i>N</i>-methyl-euphococcine. Preliminary experimental and computational mechanistic studies point toward the formation of a boroxine as the active allylating species.<br>

Background: Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, 75 million people have been infected with the HIV and about 32 million people have died of AIDS. Investigation of the molecular mechanisms critical to the HIV replication cycle led to the identification of potential drug targets for AIDS therapy. One of the most important discoveries is HIV-1 protease, an enzyme that plays an essential role in the replication cycle of HIV. Objective: The aim of the present study is to synthesize and investigate anti-HIV-1 protease activity of some chalcone derivatives with the hope of discovering new lead structure devoid drug resistance. Methods: 20 structurally similar chalcone derivatives were synthesized and their physico-chemical characterization was performed. Binding of chalcones to HIV-1 protease was investigated by fluorimetric assay. Molecular docking studies were conducted to understand the interactions. Results: The obtained results revealed that all compounds showed anti-HIV-1 protease activity. Compound C1 showed the highest inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.001 μM, which is comparable with commercial product Darunavir. Conclusion: It is difficult to provide general principles of inhibitor design. Structural properties of the compounds are not the only consideration; ease of chemical synthesis, low molecular weight, bioavailability, and stability are also of crucial importance. Compared to commercial products the main advantage of compound C1 is the ease of chemical synthesis and low molecular weight. Furthermore, compound C1 has a structure that is different to peptidomimetics, which could contribute to its stability and bioavailability.

: Many catalysts were tested in asymmetric Michael additions in order to synthesize enantioenriched products. One of the most common reaction types among the Michael reactions is the conjugated addition of malonates to enones making it possible to investigate the structure–activity relationship of the catalysts. The most commonly used Michael acceptors are chalcone, substituted chalcones, chalcone derivatives, cyclic enones, while typical donors may be dimethyl, diethyl, dipropyl, diisopropyl, dibutyl, di-tert-butyl and dibenzyl malonates. This review summarizes the most important enantioselective catalysts applied in these types of reactions.
