A technologically advanced protocol has been developed for converting plant allyl(polyalkoxy)benzenes to methyl- and propyl(polyalkoxy)benzenes being intermediates in the syntheses of coenzyme Q0 analogues. The key stage of allyl and benzaldehyde moieties hydrogenation was carried out in a periodical autoclave mode on highly porous ceramic block Pd-catalysts. These catalysts possess large surface area, low hydraulic resistance, significant thermal and mechanical stabililty, multiple cycling and easy regeneration, which can dramatically reduce Pd consumption.

Inspired by the traditional Chinese herbal pair of Polygala tenuifolia-Acori Tatarinowii for treating epilepsy, 33 novel substituted cinnamic α-asaronol esters and analogues were designed by Combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine Molecular Chemistry (CTCMMC) strategy, synthesized and tested systematically not only for anticonvulsant activity in three mouse models but also for LDH inhibitory activity. Thereinto, 68–70 and 75 displayed excellent and broad spectra of anticonvulsant activities with modest ability in preventing neuropathic pain, as well as low neurotoxicity. The protective indices of these four compounds compared favorably with stiripentol, lacosamide, carbamazepine and valproic acid. 68–70 exhibited good LDH1 and LDH5 inhibitory activities with noncompetitive inhibition type, and were more potent than stiripentol. Notably, 70, as a representative agent, was also shown as a moderately positive allosteric modulator at human α1β2γ2 GABAA receptors (EC50 46.3 ± 7.3 μM). Thus, 68–70 were promising candidates for developing into anti-epileptic drugs, especially for treatment of refractory epilepsies such as Dravet syndrome.
Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols by Using a Completely Metal-Free Catalytic System

A metal-free reaction system of air, NH4NO3(cat), 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)(cat), and H+(cat) is introduced as a simple, safe, inexpensive, efficient and chemoselective mediator for aerobic oxidation of various primary and secondary benzyl and alkyl alcohols, including those bearing oxidizable heteroatoms (N, S, O) to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. Air oxygen under slight overpressure plays the role of the terminal oxidant, which is catalytically activated by redox cycles of nitrogen oxides released from a catalytic amount of NH4NO3 and cocatalyzed by TEMPO (nitroxyl radical compound), under acidic conditions, which are essential for an overall activation of the reaction system. The synthetic value of this reaction system and its green chemical profile was illustrated by a 10 g scale-up experiment, performed in an open-air system by using a renewable and reusable polymer-supported form of TEMPO (OXYNITROXS100). The reaction solvent was recovered by distillation under atmospheric pressure, and the pure final product was isolated under reduced pressure; the acid activators (HCl or H2SO4) were recovered as ammonium salts.
