- Chapter Open for the Excited-State Intramolecular Thiol Proton Transfer in the Room-Temperature Solution
-
We report here, for the first time, the experimental observation on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction of the thiol proton in room-temperature solution. This phenomenon is demonstrated by a derivative of 3-thiolflavone (3TF), namely, 2-(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)-3-mercapto-4H-chromen-4-one (3NTF), which possesses an - S - H···O= intramolecular H-bond (denoted by the dashed line) and has an S1 absorption at 383 nm. Upon photoexcitation, 3NTF exhibits a distinctly red emission maximized at 710 nm in cyclohexane with an anomalously large Stokes shift of 12 230 cm-1. Upon methylation on the thiol group, 3MeNTF, lacking the thiol proton, exhibits a normal Stokes-shifted emission at 472 nm. These, in combination with the computational approaches, lead to the conclusion of thiol-type ESIPT unambiguously. Further time-resolved study renders an unresolvable (180 fs) ESIPT rate for 3NTF, followed by a tautomer emission lifetime of 120 ps. In sharp contrast to 3NTF, both 3TF and 3-mercapto-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (3FTF) are non-emissive. Detailed computational approaches indicate that all studied thiols undergo thermally favorable ESIPT. However, once forming the proton-transferred tautomer, the lone-pair electrons on the sulfur atom brings non-negligible nπ? contribution to the S1′ state (prime indicates the proton-transferred tautomer), for which the relaxation is dominated by the non-radiative deactivation. For 3NTF, the extension of π-electron delocalization by the diethylamino electron-donating group endows the S1′ state primarily in the ππ? configuration, exhibiting the prominent tautomer emission. The results open a new chapter in the field of ESIPT, covering the non-canonical sulfur intramolecular H-bond and its associated ESIPT at ambient temperature.

- Robust alkyl-bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complexes anchored on Merrifield's resin as active catalysts for the selective synthesis of flavones and alkynones
-
Highly active and efficient propylene-bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complexes covalently anchored on Merrifield's resin were synthesized and characterized using various physical and spectroscopic techniques. The two anchored Pd(II) complexes consist of the system: Merrifield's resin-linker-bis(NHC)Pd(II), the linkers being benzyl and benzyl-O-(CH2)3 for (Pd-NHC1@M) and (Pd-NHC2@M), respectively. The short linker anchored bis-benzimidazolium ligand precursor (PBBI-1@M) was synthesized via direct carbon–nitrogen alkylation of a propylene-bridged bis(benzimidazole) (PBBI-1) by Merrifield's resin chlorobenzyl group. The longer linker anchored bis-benzimidazolium ligand precursor (PBBI-2@M) was obtained in a two-step reaction involving first alkylation of (PBBI-1) with 3-chloro-1-propanol followed by a nucleophilic substitution at Merrifield's resin chlorobenzyl group. Both supported ligand precursors (PBBI-1@M and PBBI-2@M) reacted with palladium acetate to produce the two heterogeneous catalysts (Pd-NHC1@M) and (Pd-NHC2@M). 13C NMR palladation shift of the benzimidazole N–C–N (C2) carbon was found very similar in both the liquid NMR spectra of the homogeneous complexes and the CP/MASS spectra of the corresponding covalently anchored complexes. The catalytic activity, stability, and the recycling ability of the supported catalysts have been investigated in the carbonylative Sonogashira coupling reactions of aryl iodides with aryl alkynes and alkyl alkynes and also in the cyclocarbonylative Sonogashira coupling reactions of aryl iodides with aryl alkynes via one pot reactions. The longer linker catalyst Pd-NHC2@M demonstrated excellent catalytic activity, stability, and very high recycling ability in the two carbonylative coupling reactions. These systems exhibit the hypothesized thermodynamic stability offered by the chelate effect in addition to the strong sigma donor ability of a bis(NHC) ligand system generating electron-rich palladium centers that favor the oxidative addition step of the aryl halide.

- Site-Selective Acceptorless Dehydrogenation of Aliphatics Enabled by Organophotoredox/Cobalt Dual Catalysis
-
The value of catalytic dehydrogenation of aliphatics (CDA) in organic synthesis has remained largely underexplored. Known homogeneous CDA systems often require the use of sacrificial hydrogen acceptors (or oxidants), precious metal catalysts, and harsh reaction conditions, thus limiting most existing methods to dehydrogenation of non- or low-functionalized alkanes. Here we describe a visible-light-driven, dual-catalyst system consisting of inexpensive organophotoredox and base-metal catalysts for room-temperature, acceptorless-CDA (Al-CDA). Initiated by photoexited 2-chloroanthraquinone, the process involves H atom transfer (HAT) of aliphatics to form alkyl radicals, which then react with cobaloxime to produce olefins and H2. This operationally simple method enables direct dehydrogenation of readily available chemical feedstocks to diversely functionalized olefins. For example, we demonstrate, for the first time, the oxidant-free desaturation of thioethers and amides to alkenyl sulfides and enamides, respectively. Moreover, the system's exceptional site selectivity and functional group tolerance are illustrated by late-stage dehydrogenation and synthesis of 14 biologically relevant molecules and pharmaceutical ingredients. Mechanistic studies have revealed a dual HAT process and provided insights into the origin of reactivity and site selectivity.

- Comparison of nonheme manganese‐ and iron‐containing flavone synthase mimics
-
Heme and nonheme‐type flavone synthase enzymes, FS I and FS II are responsible for the synthesis of flavones, which play an important role in various biological processes, and have a wide range of biomedicinal properties including antitumor, antimalarial, and antioxidant activities. To get more insight into the mechanism of this curious enzyme reaction, nonheme structural and functional models were carried out by the use of mononuclear iron, [FeII(CDA‐BPA*)]2+ (6) [CDA‐BPA = N,N,N’,N’‐tetrakis‐(2‐pyridylmethyl)‐cyclohexanediamine], [FeII(CDA‐BQA*)]2+ (5) [CDA‐BQA = N,N,N’,N’‐tetrakis‐(2‐quinolilmethyl)‐cyclohexanediamine], [FeII(Bn‐TPEN)(CH3CN)]2+ (3) [Bn‐ TPEN = N‐benzyl‐N,N’,N’‐tris(2‐pyridylmethyl)‐1,2‐ diaminoethane], [FeIV(O)(Bn‐TPEN)]2+ (9), and manganese, [MnII(N4Py*)(CH3CN)]2+ (2) [N4Py* = N,N‐bis(2‐pyridylmethyl)‐1,2‐di(2‐pyridyl)ethyl-amine)], [MnII(Bn‐TPEN)(CH3CN)]2+ (4) complexes as catalysts, where the possible reactive inter-mediates, high‐valent FeIV(O) and MnIV(O) are known and well characterised. The results of the catalytic and stoichiometric reactions showed that the ligand framework and the nature of the metal cofactor significantly influenced the reactivity of the catalyst and its intermediate. Comparing the reactions of [FeIV(O)(Bn‐TPEN)]2+ (9) and [MnIV(O)(Bn‐TPEN)]2+ (10) towards flavanone under the same conditions, a 3.5‐fold difference in reaction rate was observed in favor of iron, and this value is three orders of magnitude higher than was observed for the previously published [FeIV(O)(N2Py2Q*)]2+ [N,N‐bis(2‐quinolylmethyl)‐1,2‐di(2‐pyridyl)ethylamine] species.

- The influence of the preparation method on the physico-chemical properties and catalytic activities of ce-modified ldh structures used as catalysts in condensation reactions
-
Mechanical activation and mechanochemical reactions are the subjects of mechanochem-istry, a special branch of chemistry studied intensively since the 19th century. Herein, we comparably describe two synthesis methods used to obtain the following layered double hydroxide doped with cerium, Mg3 Al0.75 Ce0.25 (OH)8 (CO3)0.5·2H2 O: the mechanochemical route and the co-precipitation method, respectively. The influence of the preparation method on the physico-chemical properties as determined by multiple techniques such as XRD, SEM, EDS, XPS, DRIFT, RAMAN, DR-UV-VIS, ba-sicity, acidity, real/bulk densities, and BET measurements was also analyzed. The obtained samples, abbreviated HTCe-PP (prepared by co-precipitation) and HTCe-MC (prepared by mechanochemical method), and their corresponding mixed oxides, Ce-PP (resulting from HTCe-PP) and Ce-MC (result-ing from HTCe-MC), were used as base catalysts in the self-condensation reaction of cyclohexanone and two Claisen–Schmidt condensations, which involve the reaction between an aromatic aldehyde and a ketone, at different molar ratios to synthesize compounds with significant biologic activity from the flavonoid family, namely chalcone (1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one) and flavone (2-phenyl-4H-1benzoxiran-4-one). The mechanochemical route was shown to have indisputable advantages over the co-precipitation method for both the catalytic activity of the solids and the costs.

- Thermally regulated molybdate-based ionic liquids toward molecular oxygen activation for one-pot oxidative cascade catalysis
-
One-pot oxidative cascade catalysis plays a central role in the synthesis of key pharmaceutical and industrial molecules. Although ionic liquids are one of the most promising solvents and reaction media, the breakthrough of their catalysis in aerobic oxidation is very challenging due to the difficulty in the direct activation of molecular oxygen. Herein, a family of novel thermally regulated molybdate-based ionic liquids (Mo-ILs) has been designed and developed for the first time toward molecular oxygen activation for highly efficient tandem oxidative catalysis. Three diverse one-pot oxidative cascade processes for the syntheses of various flavones, imines, and benzyl benzoates were achieved with good to excellent yields using the Mo-IL [Bmim]2[MoO4] as a catalyst under air conditions. The results of spectroscopic investigations and quantum-chemical calculations further demonstrated that a thermally regulated proton migration between the cation [Bmim] and anion [MoO4] was the key to forming N-heterocyclic carbene and thereby to effortlessly promoting the generation of O2- active species from molecular oxygen, which results in excellent catalytic performance in these three aerobic tandem oxidations. Our work extends the application area of ILs as the sole catalyst to one-pot aerobic oxidative cascade catalysis, which could have pronounced implications in future work.

- Facile synthesis of 6-phenyl-6h-chromeno [4, 3-b] quinoline derivatives using nahso4&at;sio2 re-usable catalyst and their antibacterial activity study correlated by molecular docking studies
-
Background: Heterocyclic compounds containing heteroatoms (O, N and S) as part of five or six-membered cyclic moieties exhibited various potential applications, such as pharmaceutical drugs, agrochemical products and organic materials. Among many known heterocyclic moieties, quinoline and its derivatives are one of the privileged scaffolds found in many natural products. In general, quinoline derivatives could be prepared by utilizing ortho-substituted anilines and carbonyl compounds containing a reactive α-methylene group of well-known reaction routes like Friedlander synthesis, Niemantowski synthesis and Pfitzinger synthesis. Moreover, polysubstituted quinolones and their derivatives also had shown considerable interest in the fields of organic and pharmaceutical chemistry in recent years. Objectives: The main objective of our research work is towards the design and synthesis of divergent biological-oriented, proactive analogues with potential pharmacological value inspired by the anti-tubercular activity of 2-phenylquinoline analogues. In this study, we have been interested in the design and synthesis of bioactive, 2, 4-diphenyl, 8-arylated quinoline analogues. Methods: 6-phenyl-6h-chromeno [4, 3-b] quinoline derivatives were synthesized from 4-chloro-2phenyl-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde and various substituted aromatic anilines as starting materials using sodium bisulfate embedded SiO2 re-usable catalyst. All these fifteen new compound structures confirmed by spectral data1H &13C NMR, Mass, CHN analysis etc. Furthermore, all these new compounds antibacterial activity strains recorded using the paper disc method. The compound molecular structures were designed using molecular docking study by utilizing the crystallographic parameters of S. Areus Murb protein. Results: A series of fifteen new quinoline derivatives synthesized in moderate to good yields using sodium bisulfate embedded SiO2 re-usable catalyst. The molecular structures of these newly synthesized compounds elucidated by the combination of spectral data along with the elemental analysis. These compounds antibacterial activity study have shown moderate to good activity against, Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive) organisms. These antibacterial activity results were also a very good correlation with molecular docking studies. Conclusion: In this study, fifteen new quinoline derivatives synthesized and structures confirmed by spectral data. In fact, all the compounds have shown moderate to good antibacterial activity. In general, the compounds containing the electron donor group at R1 position (R1 = OMe) and the acceptor group at R2 positions (R2 = F or Cl) had shown good antibacterial activity. These antibacterial activity results were also a very good correlation with molecular docking studies showing strong binding energies with the highest value being,-12.45 Kcal mol-1 with S. aureus MurB receptor.

- Biocatalytic green alternative to existing hazardous reaction media: Synthesis of chalcone and flavone derivatives via the Claisen-Schmidt reaction at room temperature
-
Owing to the increasing amount of waste materials around the globe, the conversion of waste or secondary by-products to value-added products for various applications has gained significant interest. Herein, two novel agro-food waste products, Musa sp. 'Malbhog' peel ash (MMPA) and Musa Champa Hort. ex Hook. F. peel ash (MCPA) are used as catalysts to promote an inexpensive, efficient and eco-friendly carbon-carbon bond forming crossed aldol reaction at room temperature in solvent free conditions. Furthermore, the resulting products were subjected to reactions with these promoters in an oxygen atmosphere and led to the formation of novel flavone derivatives. Moreover, the used catalysts were properly characterized using different sophisticated analytical techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), transition electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) along with element detection using atomic absorption spectroscopy and ion chromatographic methods. These two approaches are metal free, as well as being devoid of any extra additives, co-catalysts, harsh conditions, the use of column chromatography for purification and result in a higher yield of the product within a short space of time. The catalytic abilities of the promoter were also examined to synthesize important bioactive molecules such as butein and apigenin at room temperature. With gram scale synthesis of the chalcone derivatives, the used catalysts (MMPA and MCPA) were further reused for five cycles and did not demonstrate any loss in catalytic activity.

- An efficient TBHP/TBAI-mediated protocol for the synthesis of 4H-chromen-4-ones from chroman-4-ones via oxidative C–C bond formation
-
Abstract: A transition metal-free and efficient TBHP/TBAI-mediated protocol has been developed for the synthesis of 4H-chromen-4-ones from chroman-4-ones via oxidative C–C bond formation. It proceeds in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium iodide and oxidant tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP, 5–6 M in decane) to afford the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, it has been observed that an increase in the concentration of TBHP to 30 mol % drastically increases the yield of 4H-chromen-4-ones, any further increase will lead to a decrease in percent yield. The mechanism of this reaction involves the generation of tertiary butoxide radical initially which by oxidative single-electron transformation is converted to iodochroman-4-one. Later the hydrogen iodide is removed from iodochroman-4-one to give the desired product, i.e. 4H-chromen-4-ones. Moreover, this is a rare example of the n-Bu4NI/TBHP-mediated C–C bond through dehydrogenative reaction. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- CeO2-Supported Pd(II)-on-Au Nanoparticle Catalyst for Aerobic Selective α,β-Desaturation of Carbonyl Compounds Applicable to Cyclohexanones
-
Direct selective desaturation of carbonyl compounds to synthesize α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds represents an environmentally benign alternative to classical stepwise procedures. In this study, we designed an ideal CeO2-supported Pd(II)-on-Au nanoparticle catalyst (Pd/Au/CeO2) and successfully achieved heterogeneously catalyzed selective desaturation of cyclohexanones to cyclohexenones using O2 in air as the oxidant. Besides cyclohexenones, various bioactive enones can also be synthesized from the corresponding saturated ketones under open air conditions in the presence of Pd/Au/CeO2. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that α-C-H bond cleavage in the substrates is the turnover-limiting step of this desaturation reaction.

- Temperature-Controlled Stereodivergent Synthesis of 2,2′-Biflavanones Promoted by Samarium Diiodide
-
In this work, the first example of a radical stereodivergent reaction directed towards the stereoselective synthesis of both (R*,R*)- and (R*,S*)-2,2′-biflavanones promoted by samarium diiodide is reported. Control experiments showed that the selectivity of this reaction was exclusively controlled by the temperature. It was possible to generate a variety of 2,2′-biflavanones bearing different substitution patterns at the aromatic ring in good-to-quantitative yields, being both stereoisomers of the desired compounds obtained with total or high control of selectivity. A mechanism that explains both the generation of the corresponding 2,2′-biflavanones and the selectivity is also discussed. The structure and stereochemistry determination of each isomer was unequivocally elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments.

- An efficient tandem synthesis of chromones from: O -bromoaryl ynones and benzaldehyde oxime
-
An effective transition-metal-free strategy was developed for the preparation of chromones from o-bromoaryl ynones and benzaldehyde oxime through sequential C-O bond formation. This cyclization reaction could well tolerate a wide range of functional groups, and the corresponding chromones were given in moderate to excellent yields. Mechanistically, benzaldehyde oxime as a hydroxide source and 1,3-diketone derivatives as reaction intermediates were involved in this transformation.

- Synthesis of 3,5-diarylisoxazole derivatives and evaluation of in vitro trypanocidal activity
-
Chagas disease is included in the neglected tropical diseases list and is endemic to 21 Latin American countries. The two drugs currently available for treating Chagas disease are nifurtimox and benznidazole and both result in many significant side effects. The study describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles. Isoxazoles were obtained by reaction of flavones and hydroxylamine and either alkylated at the free hydroxyl group and/or nitrated at the isoxazole ring. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity against trypomastigote and amastigote forms of the parasite in T. cruzi-infected cell lineages. Benznidazole was used as a reference compound for the in vitro assay and mammalian L929 cells were employed to evaluate cytotoxicity. A majority of the compounds tested were very active and the most active isoxazole against amastigote and trypomastigotes of T. cruzi was slightly more potent than the current medicine benznidazole.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-Phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives as polyfunctional compounds against Alzheimer’s disease
-
Polyfunctional compounds comprise a novel class of therapeutic agents for the treatment of multi-factorial diseases. A series of 2-Phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one and its derivatives (5a–n) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their poly-functionality against acetylcholinestrase (AChE) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation inhibitors against Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The screening results showed that most of them exhibited a significant ability to inhibit AChE AGEs formation with additional radical scavenging activity. Especially, 5m, 5b, and 5j displayed the greatest ability to inhibit AChE (IC50 = 8.0, 8.2, and 11.8 nM, respectively) and AGEs formation (IC50 = 55, 79, and 54 μM, respectively) with good antioxidant activity. Molecular docking studies explored the detailed interaction pattern with active, peripheral, and mid-gorge sites of AChE. These compounds, exhibiting such multiple pharmacological activities, can be further taken a lead for the development of potent drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

- Synthesis, antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of nitrostyrenes and related compounds in Burkitt’s lymphoma
-
Background: Cancers of the lymphatic cells (lymphomas) account for approximately 12% of malignant diseases worldwide. The nitrostyrene scaffold is identified as a lead target structure for the development of particularly effective compounds targeting Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL). Objectives: The aims of the curent study were to synthesise a panel of nitrostyrene compounds and to evaluate their activity in Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL). Methods: A panel of structurally varied compounds were designed and synthesised using Henry Knoevenagel condensation reactions. Single crystal X-Ray analysis confirmed the E configuration for six examples of these novel structures. A number of nitrostyrene-related compounds were also investigated including 1,3-bis(aryl)-2-nitropropenes together with heterocyclic scaffolds containing the nitrovinyl pharmacophore such as 3-nitro-2-phenyl-2H-chromenes. The antiproliferative activities of the compounds were evaluated using the BL cell lines EBV- MUTU-1 and EBV+ DG-75 (chemoresistant) to establish preliminary structure-activity relationships. Results: Lead compounds with optimized nitrostyrene scaffolds and 3-nitro-2-phenyl-2Hchromene structures were successfully established with typical IC50 values of 0.45 μM and 0.47 μM in MUTU-1 cells and 1.41 μM and 1.92 μM, respectively, in DG-75 cells. The mechanism of cell death was identified as apoptotic and the lead compound was found to elicit comparable apoptotic effects to Taxol in Burkitt’s lymphoma cell lines MUTU-1 and DG-75. Conclusion: This class of pharmaceutically active compounds with potential for the treatment of Burkitt’s lymphoma suggest a potential role for nitrostyrene based agents in chemotherapy.

- Silver-catalyzed Double Decarboxylative Radical Alkynylation/Annulation of Arylpropiolic Acids with α-keto Acids: Access to Ynones and Flavones under Mild Conditions
-
Ynones are privileged building blocks in various organic syntheses of heterocyclic derivatives due to their multifunctional nature, and flavones are an important class of natural products with a wide range of biological activities. We describe the catalytic double decarboxylative alkynylation of arylpropiolic acids with α-keto acids. With Ag(I)/persulfate as the catalysis system, the valuable ynones bearing various substituents could be easily obtained. The introduction of hydroxyl substituent on ortho-site of α-keto acids make this strategy further applicable to the construction of flavone derivatives via heteroannulation in moderate to good yields with a similar silver-catalyzed system. The reactions proceed under relatively mild reaction conditions and tolerate a wide variety of functional groups. Control experiments indicated that both the reactions undergo radical processes. (Figure presented.).

- Rational design for multicolor flavone-based fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission enhancement characteristics and applications in mitochondria-imaging
-
Fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties have attracted more attention in recent years. In order to realise more valuable applications, the different kinds of AIEE molecules are in serious need of further development. Therefore, a novel flavone-based AIEE system derived from restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR) was designed and synthesized in this work. The results revealed that six of the compounds showed typical AIEE characteristics, with fluorescence emissions from purple, blue, cyan to green, tunable by changing substituent groups. This flavone-based AIEE system has never been reported before. The AIEE characteristics were investigated by optical spectroscopy, fluorescence photographs, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fluorescence quantum yields (φF) and fluorescence lifetime in the CH3OH/H2O mixed solution. Moreover, benefiting from the simple structures and small molecular weight, they could permeate cells faster than current high-molecular-weight AIEE molecules. Furthermore, to examine possible biomedical applications, fluorescence imaging in living A549 lung cells and cell viabilities were examined, and the results displayed that these fluorophores showed good cellular uptake and low cytotoxicity within the experimental concentration range. In addition, these AIEE compounds possessed excellent specificity for mitochondrial targeting and mitochondrial morphological change tracking, besides, they displayed superior photostability, which indicated they are potential candidates for mitochondrial imaging.

- Nickel catalysed carbonylative Sonogashira reaction for the synthesis of diarylalkynones and 2-substituted flavones
-
The nickel catalyzed, palladium/phosphine free carbonylative Sonogashira reaction of terminal alkynes with substituted aryl and heteroaryl iodides is described. This protocol provides mild and robust conditions to synthesize a variety of substituted aryl α,β-alkynyl ketones and flavones in good to excellent isolated yields. This methodology tolerates several functional groups such as electron donating (methyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl, methoxy) as well as electron withdrawing (trifluoromethyl, nitro, esters, nitrile) groups on the terminal alkynes and iodides.

-
A number of 4'-substituted (R = H, Me, Cl, F) flavone derivatives is synthesized from 2-hydroxyacetophenones using the modified Baker–Venkataraman reaction. Compound [3-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-5- hydroxy-4'-fluoroflavone] was synthesized for the first time with the yield of 12%. Antiproliferative assays indicate that the synthesized flavones with F substituent at the 4' position demonstrate higher activity than the other flavone derivatives, particularly against HeLa and MCF-7 with the IC50 9.5 and 2.7 μM, respectively.

- One-pot Synthesis of Aurones through Oxidation-cyclization Tandem Reaction Catalyzed by Copper Nanoparticles Catalyst
-
Aurones were synthesized through an oxidation-cyclization tandem reaction of 2-(1- hydroxyprop-2-ynyl)phenols catalyzed by copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) with bipyridine as the ligand. In the reaction, oxygen worked as a green and mild oxidant to give the best results. Cu NPs were dually activated by bipyridine ligand and water, and showed highly efficient catalytic activities to the oxygen oxidation and the cylization to give aurones and flavonoids.

- Synthesis of Enones and Enals via Dehydrogenation of Saturated Ketones and Aldehydes
-
A general, efficient and economic palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenation to form enones or enals has been developed. The approach possesses extremely broad substrate scope including various linear or cyclic saturated ketones and aldehydes. The protocol is ligand-free, and molecular oxygen is used as the sole clean oxidant in the reaction. Due to mild reaction conditions, good functional group compatibility, and versatile utilities of enones and enals, the method can be applied in the late-stage synthesis of natural products, pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.

- Green and efficient synthesis of flavones and chromones using heteropolyacids as catalyst in glycerol
-
Organic solvents are required to carry out most organic transformations, which cause environmental pollution because of their low volatility. Glycerol, a side product obtained from biodiesel production, has emerged as a friendly solvent due to its advantageous properties. In this paper, an efficient procedure for the synthesis of flavones and chromones, using heteropolyacids as recyclable catalyst and glycerol as the solvent, is presented. The use of heteropolyacids as catalysts allows for excellent yields, easy separation and recovery, low environmental impact, and low cost. Glycerol can also be readily recovered and used over again. In addition, the presented method provides other advantages such as the low formation of waste and the replacement of corrosive mineral acids.

- Pd/C: An efficient and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of flavones via carbonylation of aryl halides
-
This work describes an efficient and mild approach for the synthesis of flavones via catalytic carbonylation of aryl halides with 2-hydroxyacetophenone using the commercial Pd/C as an efficient, heterogeneous and recyclable catalyst. Under balloon pressure of CO, 0.6?mol% Pd/C is sufficient for moderate yields of flavones for the carbonylation of aryl iodides under phosphine-free conditions and aryl bromides in the presence of phosphine ligand. The catalyst is easily separable and shows significant recyclability. Moreover, the reaction mechanism was discussed, and a possible mechanism that contains two different cyclisation pathways was proposed.
