Dioncoquinones belong to a family of natural naphthoquinone products of interest due to their promising anti-tumoral and anti-infective activities. In particular, dioncoquinones A (5) and B (6) have been shown to be highly active against Leishmania major and multiple myeloma cells without any significant toxicity toward normal blood cells. Their effective concentrations against multiple myeloma cell lines were similar to those of melphalan, a well known DNA-alkylating agent used in a standard therapy against B cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma. We report on the first total synthesis of the highly oxygenated anti-tumoral agent dioncoquinone B (6) and the isolation of its new, even higher-oxygenated analogs, dioncoquinones C (7), D (8), and E (9), from cell cultures of Triphyophyllum peltatum. In addition, several derivatives of these compounds were synthesized, including dioncoquinone C (7), and a small library of naphthoquinones was created. Furthermore, the first structure-activity relationship (SAR) study on this class of compounds was conducted, showing that each of the three hydroxy groups, at C-3, C-5, and C-6, is required for improved anti-tumoral activities and decreased cytotoxicities.
Palladium-Catalyzed Double and Single Carbonylation of Aryl Halides and Allylic Compounds
Yamamoto, Akio

After a brief introduction summarizing the author's previous work concerning the double carbonylation of aryl halides catalyzed by palladium complexes, newly found catalytic processes (1) for converting allylic formates and chlorides into β,γ-unsaturated acids and (2) the double carbonylation of allylic chlorides to β,γ-unsaturated α-keto amides are described.Mechanisms which reasonably account for the catalytic processes are proposed on the basis of studies concerning the properties of the organopalladium complexes.
