- A new efficient method for the preparation of intermediate aromatic ketones by Friedel–Crafts acylation
-
Abstract: As the most important method to prepare pharmaceutical and chemical intermediate aromatic ketones, Friedel–Crafts (F–C) acylation is used to seek a novel catalytic system which is imminently consistent with the concept of green chemistry. In this study, six deep eutectic solvents (DES) were synthesized for the Friedel–Crafts acylation reaction as a catalytic solvent. Among the six DES, choline chloride-zinc chloride ([ChCl][ZnCl2]2) proved to be the most competent candidate of electron-rich arenes with acylation reagent. It got the highest yield when 1.0 equivalent of [ChCl][ZnCl2]2 used with acyl halides at 70?°C. Recycled DES was reused directly without any extra process. After five cycles, the catalytic activity did not decrease significantly (80–85%). Finally, according to experimental validation, the possible mechanism of this reaction was considered.

- Syntheses of benzophenone-xanthone hybrid polyketides and their antibacterial activities
-
Muchimangins are benzophenone-xanthone hybrid polyketides produced by Securidaca longepedunculata. However, their biological activities have not been fully investigated, since they are minor constituents in this plant. To evaluate the possibility of muchimangins as antibacterial agent candidates, five muchimangin analogs were synthesized from 2,4,5-trimethoxydiphenyl methanol and the corresponding xanthones, by utilizing p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate for the Br?nsted acid-catalysis. The antibacterial assays against Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, and Gram-negative bacteria, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, revealed that the muchimangin analogs (±)-1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxy-4-(phenyl-(2′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)methyl)-xanthone (1), (±)-1,3,6-trihydroxy-4-(phenyl-(2′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)methyl)-xanthone (2), and (±)-1,3-dihydroxy-4-(phenyl-(2′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)methyl)-xanthone (3) showed significant activities against S. aureus, with MIC values of 10.0, 10.0, and 25.0?μM, respectively. Analogs (±)-1 and (±)-2 also exhibited antibacterial activities against B. subtilis, with MIC values of 50.0 and 12.5?μM, respectively. Furthermore, (+)-3 enhanced the antibacterial activity against S. aureus, with a MIC value of 10?μM.

- Coupling of aromatic aldehydes with aryl halides in the presence of nickel catalysts with diazabutadiene ligands
-
Nickel catalysts with diazabutadiene ligands promote cross-coupling of benzaldehydes with aryl halides in the presence of zinc as reducing agent, which leads to the corresponding benzhydrols and benzophenones. The benzophenone percentage considerably increases when lithium chloride additive is used.

- An efficient and green method for regio- and chemo-selective Friedel-Crafts acylations using a deep eutectic solvent ([CholineCl][ZnCl2]3)
-
[CholineCl][ZnCl2]3, a deep eutectic solvent between choline chloride and ZnCl2, has been used as a dual function catalyst and green solvent for the Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic compounds instead of using the moisture-sensitive Lewis acids and volatile organic solvents. The reactions are performed with high yields under microwave irradiation with short reaction times for the synthesis of ketones. Interestingly, indole derivatives are regioselectively acylated in the 3-position under mild conditions with high yields without NH protection. Three new ketone products are synthesized. [CholineCl][ZnCl2]3 is easily synthesized from choline chloride and zinc chloride at a low cost, with easy purification and environmentally benign compounds. [CholineCl][ZnCl2]3 can be reused up to five times without loss of catalytic activity, making it ideal in industrial processes.

- An efficient combination of Zr-MOF and microwave irradiation in catalytic Lewis acid Friedel-Crafts benzoylation
-
A zirconium-based metal-organic framework, an effective heterogeneous catalyst, has been developed for the Friedel-Crafts benzoylation of aromatic compounds under microwave irradiation. Constructed by a Zr(iv) cluster and a linker 1,4-bis(2-[4-carboxyphenyl]ethynyl)benzene (H2CPEB), the MOF, possessing large pores and high chemical stability, was appropriate for the enhancement of Lewis acid activity under microwave irradiation. The reaction studies demonstrated that the material could give high yields for a few minutes and maintain its reactivity and structure over several cycles.

- Design and synthesis of regioisomerically pure unsymmetrical xanthene derivatives for staining live cells and their photochemical properties
-
We have demonstrated the synthesis of regioisomerically pure unsymmetrical xanthene derivatives consisting of three units which can be independently modified to control their physical properties. The photochemical properties of the synthetic unsymmetrical xanthene derivatives were investigated in solution by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence measurements, and their cell imaging properties were examined by confocal laser-scanning microscopy.
