A total synthesis of (±)-hibiscone C, one member of the furanosteroid family of natural products that also includes viridin and wortmannin, is reported. Two new pathways for formation of the key diacyl furan subunit are described.

Discovery and optimization of novel benzothiophene-3-carboxamides as highly potent inhibitors of Aurora kinases A and B
Aurora kinases as regulators of cell division have become promising therapeutic targets recently. Here we report novel, low molecular weight benzothiophene-3-carboxamide derivatives designed and optimized for inhibiting Aurora kinases. The most effective compound 36 inhibits Aurora kinases in vitro in the nanomolar range and diminishes HCT 116 cell viability blocking cytokinesis and inducing apoptosis. According to western blot analysis, the lead molecule inhibits Aurora kinases equipotently to VX-680 (Tozasertib) and similarly synergizes with other targeted drugs.
Dehydrogenative Formation of Resorcinol Derivatives Using Pd/C-Ethylene Catalytic System
The conversion of substituted 1,3-cyclohexanediones to the alkyl ethers of resorcinol using a Pd/C-ethylene system is reported. In these reactions, ethylene works as a hydrogen acceptor. The efficient synthesis of resveratrol was achieved using this protocol as a key step. In addition, the direct formation of substituted resorcinols was carried out by adding K2CO3 into the reaction media.

Process for the preparation of 3-alkyl-substituted glutaric acids and 2-alkyl-substituted succinic acids
This invention relates to a novel method of preparing 3-alkyl-substituted glutaric acids and 2-alkyl-substituted succinic acids from 5-alkyl-substituted-1,3-cyclohexane-diones or 3-alkyl-substituted-5-ketohexanoic acids via transition-metal catalyzed oxidation.
