We synthesized twelve hybrids based on curcumin and resveratrol, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. The chemopreventive potential of these compounds was evaluated against SW480 human colon adenocarcinoma cells, its metastatic derivative SW620, along with the non-malignant CHO-K1 cell line. Among the tested compounds, hybrids 3e and 3i (for SW480) and 3a, 3e and 3k (for SW620) displayed the best cytotoxic activity with IC50 values ranging from 11.52 ± 2.78 to 29.33 ± 4.73 μM for both cell lines, with selectivity indices (SI) higher than 1, after 48 h of treatment. Selectivity indices were even higher than those reported for the reference drug, 5-fluorouracil (SI = 0.96), the starting compound resveratrol (SI = 0.45) and the equimolar mixture of curcumin plus resveratrol (SI = 0.77). The previous hybrids showed good antiproliferative activity.
Olefination via Cu-Mediated Dehydroacylation of Unstrained Ketones

The dehydroacylation of ketones to olefins is realized under mild conditions, which exhibits a unique reaction pathway involving aromatization-driven C-C cleavage to remove the acyl moiety, followed by Cu-mediated oxidative elimination to form an alkene between the α and β carbons. The newly adopted N′-methylpicolinohydrazonamide (MPHA) reagent is key to enable efficient cleavage of ketone C-C bonds at room temperature. Diverse alkyl- and aryl-substituted olefins, dienes, and special alkenes are generated with broad functional group tolerance. Strategic applications of this method are also demonstrated.
Bioinspired Selective Synthesis of Heterodimer 8-5′ or 8- O-4′ Neolignan Analogs

The bioinspired synthesis of heterodimer neolignan analogs is reported by single-electron oxidation of both alkenyl phenols and phenols individually, followed by a combination of the resultant radicals. This oxidative radical cross-coupling strategy can afford heterodimer 8-5′ or 8-O-4′ neolignan analogs selectively with the use of air as the terminal oxidant and copper acetate as the catalyst at room temperature.
