  • or
Isosafrole is a colorless fragrant liquid with an anise-like odor. It is a synthetic compound that can be produced by alkaline isomerization of safrole using KOH at the boil or an alcoholic NaOH solution at room temperature under pressure. Of the two isomers (cisand trans-), the trans-form is more stable and has been isolated in the pure state, likely occurring in the essential oil of ylang-ylang. It has also been identified in the oils of Illicium religiosum and Ligusticum acutilobum Sieb. and Zucc.

Emerging use of isotope ratio mass spectrometry as a tool for discrimination of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine by synthetic route

Buchanan, Hilary A. S.,Daeid, Niamh Nic,Meier-Augenstein, Wolfram,Kemp, Helen F.,Kerr, William J.,Middleditch, Michael

, p. 3350 - 3356 (2008)

Drug profiling, or the ability to link batches of illicit drugs to a common source or synthetic route, has long been a goal of law enforcement agencies. Research in the past decade has explored drug profiling with isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). This type of research can be limited by the use of substances seized by police, of which the provenance is unknown. Fortunately, however, some studies in recent years have been carried out on drugs synthesized in-house and therefore of known history. In this study, 18 MDMA samples were synthesized in-house from aliquots of the same precursor by three common reductive animation routes and analyzed for 13C, 15N, and 2H isotope abundance using IRMS. For these three preparative methods, results indicate that 2H isotope abundance data is necessary for discrimination by synthetic route. Furthermore, hierarchical cluster analysis using 2H data on its own or combined with 13C and/or 15N provides a statistical means for accurate discrimination by synthetic route.

Photoacid-Enabled Synthesis of Indanes via Formal [3 + 2] Cycloaddition of Benzyl Alcohols with Olefins

Yang, Biao,Dong, Kui,Li, Xiang-Sheng,Wu, Li-Zhu,Liu, Qiang

supporting information, p. 2040 - 2044 (2022/03/17)

An environmentally friendly and highly diastereoselective method for synthesizing indanes has been developed via a metastable-state photoacid system containing catalytic protonated merocyanine (MEH). Under visible-light irradiation, MEH yields a metastable spiro structure and liberated protons, which facilitates the formation of carbocations from benzyl alcohols, thus delivering diverse molecules in the presence of various nucleophiles. Mainly, a variety of indanes could be easily obtained from benzyl alcohols and olefins, and water is the only byproduct.

Leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease with a high worldwide incidence, is considered a public health issue in Minas Gerais and Brazil, with a high degree of morbidity, not to mention the lack of therapeutic arsenal. The cysteine protease (rCPB2.8) and cyclin dependent kinase (CRK3), important enzymes for the parasite’s feasibility, were the targets chosen for investigation of the new drugs. The following study aimed to analyze several oximic derivatives starting from safrol, which can present an affinity profile for selected molecular targets using tools from molecular modeling and bioinformatics, planning and synthesis of brand new substances being tested for leishmanicidal drugs. The study allowed to verify that three oximic derivatives (5a, 5f and 5h) presented high affinity for the CRK3 enzyme, and that the compounds 5c and 5g presented good interaction by the amino acids of the catalytic site of the rCPB2.8 enzyme with atomic distances capable of generating covalent bonds, which are essential for enzyme inhibitory activity.

Background: Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease that does not have adequate treatment. It affects around 12 million people around the world and is classified as a neglected disease by the World Health Organization. In this context, strategies to obtain new, more active and less toxic drugs should be stimulated. Sources of natural products combined with synthetic and chemoinformatic methodologies are strategies used to obtain molecules that are most likely to be effective against a specific disease. Computer-Aided Drug Design has become an indispensable tool in the pharmaceutical industry and academia in recent years and has been employed during various stages of the drug design process. Objectives: Perform structure-and ligand-based approaches, synthesize and characterize some compounds with materials available in our laboratories to verify the method’s efficiency. Methods: We created a database with 33 cyclic imides and evaluated their potential anti-Leishmanial activity (L. amazonensis and L. donovani) through ligand-and structure-based virtual screening. A diverse set selected from ChEMBL databanks of 818 structures (L. donovani) and 722 structures (L. amazonensis), with tested anti-Leishmanial activity against promastigotes forms, were classified according to pIC50 values to generate and validate a Random Forest model that shows higher statistical indices values. The structures of four different L. donovani enzymes were downloaded from the Protein Data Bank and the imides’ structures were submitted to molecular docking. So, with available materials and technical feasibility of our laboratories, we have synthesized and characterized seven compounds through cyclization reactions between isosafrole and maleic anhydride followed by treatment with different amines to obtain new cyclic imides to evaluate their anti-Leishmanial activity. Results: In silico study allowed us to suggest that the cyclic imides 516, 25, 31, 24, 32, 2, 3, 22 can be tested as potential multitarget molecules for leishmanial treatment, presenting activity probability against four strategic enzymes (Topoisomerase I, N-myristoyltransferase, cyclophilin and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase). The compounds synthesized and tested presented pIC50 values less than 4.7 for Leishmania amazonensis. Conclusion: After combined approach evaluation, we have synthesized and characterized seven cyclic imides by IR,1 H NMR,13 C-APT NMR, COSY, HETCOR and HMBC. The compounds tested against promastigote forms of L. amazonensis presented pIC50 values less than 4.7, showing that our method was efficient in predicting true negative molecules.

Ten imides derived from safrole, 4a-4j, were synthesized and their structures were fully characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) analysis. Among the ten imides studied, eight are new. The compounds were evaluated in an in silico study and showed strong to moderate antifungal activity against various strains of Candida and Cryptococcus. In particular, compounds 4b, 4c and 4h exhibited strong antifungal activity, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) between 0.17-0.73 μmol mL-1. The compound 4j exhibited antifungal activity with MIC 1.28 μmol mL-1 for all strains tested. In silico studies of the parameters of Lipinski's rule of five indicated that these compounds are potential new drug candidates. The predict oral bioavailability can be evaluated through these parameters. In addition, a computational study helped assigning the stereochemistry of compound 4j, where the synthesized mixture is composed by two stereoisomers, 4j(1) (SRR) and 4j(2) (RSS).

Preferential Photoreaction in a Porous Crystal, Metal-Macrocycle Framework: PdII-Mediated Olefin Migration over [2+2] Cycloaddition

A nanosized confined space with well-defined functional surfaces has great potential to control the efficiency and selectivity of catalytic reactions. Herein we report that a 1,6-diene, which normally forms an intramolecular [2+2] cycloadduct under photoirradiation, preferentially undergoes a photoinduced olefin migration in a porous crystal, metal-macrocycle framework (MMF), and alternatively [2+2] cycloaddition is completely inhibited in the confined space. A plausible reaction mechanism for olefin migration triggered by the photoinduced dissociation of the Pd-Cl bond is suggested based on UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, single-crystal XRD, and MS-CASPT2 calculation. The substrate scope of the photoinduced olefin migration in MMF was also examined using substituted allylbenzene derivatives.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Allylic C(sp3)-H Carboxylation with CO2

Michigami, Kenichi,Mita, Tsuyoshi,Sato, Yoshihiro

supporting information, p. 6094 - 6097 (2017/05/08)

Catalytic carboxylation of the allylic C(sp3)-H bond of terminal alkenes with CO2 was developed with the aid of a Co/Xantphos complex. A wide range of allylarenes and 1,4-dienes were successfully transformed into the linear styrylacetic acid and hexa-3,5-dienoic acid derivatives in moderate to high yields, with excellent regioselectivity. The carboxylation showed remarkable functional group tolerability, so that selective addition to CO2 occurred in the presence of other carbonyl groups such as amide, ester, and ketone. Since styrylacetic acid derivatives can be readily converted into optically active γ-butyrolactones through Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, this allylic C(sp3)-H carboxylation showcases a facile synthesis of γ-butyrolactones from simple allylarenes via short steps.
