- Easy and green synthesis of 6-(arylvinyl)-4-hydroxy-3-(phenylsulfanyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones in aqueous potassium hydroxide
-
A convenient green procedure have been proposed for the synthesis of 6-(2-arylvinyl)-4-hydroxy-3-(phenylsulfanyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones by condensation of 6-(arylvinyl)-4-hydroxy-2H-pyran-2-ones with S-phenyl benzenesulfonothioate in aqueous potassium hydroxide at room temperature.

- Potassium fluoride-barium oxide catalysis in an easy and efficient synthesis of methysticin from piperonal under microwave irradiation
-
Condensation of compounds containing active methylene group with aromatic aldehyde (piperonal) in the presence of BaO on KF without a solvent under microwave irradiation is an efficient synthetic approach to methysticin and derivatives of kavalactones (4-methoxy-6-styryl-pyran-2-ones).

- Heck-matsuda arylation as a strategy to access kavalactones isolated from polygala sabulosa, piper methysticum, and analogues
-
Herein, we describe the total syntheses of three bioactive pyrones isolated from Polygala sabulosa (i.e., 1, 4, and 7) and eight isolated from Piper methysticum (i.e., 8-10, 13, 15, and 18-20) using the Heck-Matsuda arylation as the key strategy. The evaluation of this methodology by employing different arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates revealed that the Heck arylation was more efficient when the olefin undergoing arylation possessed the vinyl-2-pyrone structural unit instead of the vinyl dihydro-2-pyrone moiety. The Heck-Matsuda arylation of many of the examined olefins proceeded in a practical manner with total regio- and stereocontrol.

- Synthesis and antimalarial and antituberculosis activities of a series of natural and unnatural 4-methoxy-6-styryl-pyran-2-ones, dihydro analogues and photo-dimers
-
Previous studies have identified the 3,6-dialkyl-4-hydroxy-pyran-2-one marine microbial metabolites pseudopyronines A and B to be modest growth inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a range of tropical diseases including Plasmodium falciparum and Leishmania donovani. In an effort to expand the structure-activity relationship of this compound class towards infectious diseases, a library of natural product and natural product-like 4-methoxy-6-styryl-pyran-2-ones and a subset of catalytically reduced examples were synthesized. In addition, the photochemical reactivity of several of the 4-methoxy-6-styryl-pyran-2-ones were investigated yielding head-to-head and head-to-tail cyclobutane dimers as well as examples of asymmetric aniba-dimer A-type dimers. All compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity and activity against M. tuberculosis, P. falciparum, L. donovani, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma cruzi. Of the styryl-pyranones, natural product 3 and non-natural styrene and naphthalene substituted examples 13, 18, 21, 22 and 23 exhibited antimalarial activity (IC50 10. Δ7 Dihydro analogues were typically less active or lacked selectivity. Head-to-head and head-to-tail photodimers 5 and 34 exhibited moderate IC50s of 2.3 to 17 μM towards several of the parasitic organisms, while the aniba-dimer-type asymmetric dimers 31 and 33 were identified as being moderately active towards P. falciparum (IC50 1.5 and 1.7 μM) with good selectivity (SI ~80). The 4-tert-butyl aniba-dimer A analogue 33 also exhibited activity towards L. donovani (IC50 4.5 μM), suggesting further elaboration of this latter scaffold could lead to the identification of new leads for the dual treatment of malaria and leishmaniasis.
