A straightforward and general method has been developed for the synthesis of chalcone derivatives by a Claisen-Schmidt reaction in the presence of PPh3/I2 in 1,4-dioxane under reflux temperatures. With the condensation of the aromatic ketone and aldehyde occurring at non-strongly alkaline conditions, our proposed method significantly expands the range of applicable substrates, especially for groups that are unstable under alkaline conditions.

Abstract: To identify novel adenosine receptor (AR) ligands based on the chalcone scaffold, herein the synthesis, characterization and in vitro and in silico evaluation of 33 chalcones (15–36 and 37–41) and structurally related compounds (42–47) are reported. These compounds were characterized by radioligand binding and GTP shift assays to determine the degree and type of binding affinity, respectively, against rat (r) A1 and A2A ARs. The chalcone derivatives 24, 29, 37 and 38 possessed selective A1 affinity below 10?μM, and thus, are the most active compounds of the present series; compound 38 was the most potent selective A1 AR antagonist (Ki (r) = 1.6?μM). The structure–affinity relationships (SAR) revealed that the NH2-group at position C3 of ring A of the chalcone scaffold played a key role in affinity, and also, the Br-atom at position C3′ on benzylidene ring B. Upon in vitro and in silico evaluation, the novel C3 amino-substituted chalcone derivative 38—that contains an α,?-unsaturated carbonyl system and easily allows structural modification—may possibly be a synthon in future drug discovery.

The organocatalysed asymmetric vinylogous Michael addition of α,α-dicyanoolefins to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones have been reported in the last decade, however, chalcones have been poorly explored. Moreover, a considerable part of the publications in this theme still employs undesirable solvents, such as toluene and THF, with concerns related to health and environmental safety. We report herein the use of a bifunctional catalyst derived from a Cinchona alkaloid to perform the enantio- and diastereoselective Michael addition of α,α-dicyanoolefins to chalcones using 2-MeTHF as solvent. The Michael adducts were obtained in moderate to good yields and were evaluated for their antiplasmodial and cytotoxic activity.
