There are several benzofuranyl imidazole derivatives among them (I and II), which were found to be cytotoxic towards an ovarian carcinoma cell line (Skov-3). The study of N-(5-(2- bromobenzyl)thiazole-2-yl) benzofuran-2-carboxamide (III) showed that this compound inhibited the growth of HCC (human hepatocellular carcinoma) cells and induced their apoptosis. The synthetic derivative IV was found to have antitumor activity and it was an effective chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agent against malignant T cells. Moreover, a series of triazole derivatives V showed moderate antitumor activity. Recent data reported this type of benzofuran derivatives as potential therapeutic agents for breast cancer [7]. These are only a few examples from a large group of benzofurans with anticancer activity. Moreover, examples of compounds with cytotoxic activity were found among the simple derivatives of benzofuran like 2- and 3-benzofuranocarboxylic acid derivatives VI–VII (Figure

Zenkevichb) National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA (Received 1 August 2011; accepted 27 September 2011; published online 29 November 2011) Gas chromatographic retention indices were evaluated for 505 frequently reported plant essential oil components using a large retention index database. Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

  • Electrooxidation Enables Highly Regioselective Dearomative Annulation of Indole and Benzofuran Derivatives

Here we report a general and practical protocol for regioselective dearomative annulation of indole and benzofuran derivatives in an electrochemical way. Under undivided electrolytic conditions, a series of highly functio- nalized five to eight-membered heterocycle-2,3-fused indolines and dihydrobenzofurans, which are typically unattainable under thermal conditions, can be successfully accessed in high yield with excellent regio- and stereo-selectivity. This transformation can also tolerate a wide range of functional groups and achieve good efficiency in large-scale synthesis under oxidant-free conditions. In addition, cyclic voltammetry, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and kinetic studies indicate that the dehydrogenative dearomatization annulations arise from the anodic oxidation of indole into indole radical cation, and this process is the rate- determining step. 1 College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences, Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS), Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, P.

  • A SCF MO Treatment of Some Tropone Derivatives* M
    CROATICA CHEMICA ACTA 42 (1 97 0) 1 <CCA-565 539.19:547.5 Original Scientific Paper A SCF MO Treatment of Some Tropone Derivatives* M. J. S. Dewar and N. Trinajstić** Department of Chemistry, The University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712, U.S.A. R e c e iv e d A u g u s t 9, 1969 Recent work in these laboratories has led to the development of a semiempirical SCF MO treatment which seems to give extremely good results for ground States of conjugated molecules of ali kinds composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. We have now applied this treatment to a problem of current interest, namely the structures of tropolone and tropone deri­ vatives. The calculations lead to the conclusion that neither of these ring systems is in itself aromatic, while tropone is now re- cognized to be polyenoid, tropolone still seems to be generally regarded as aromatic. This belief, however, arose from the behavior of tropolone derivatives in strong acid solution, where they exist as hydroxy tropylium derivatives, or in alkali where they form mesomeric anions. Calculated heats of formation, resonance ener- gies, and bond lengths are reported. INTRODU CTION Some time ago one of us1 concluded on the basis of available Chemical <evidence that stipitatic acid and colchicine must contain a novel aromatic system, tropolone (I), containing a seven-membered ring. Subsequent work not only confirmed this conclusion but also led to the synthesis of tropolone2 itself, and of the related tropone3 (II); both these compounds seemed to show stability characteristics of typical aromatic systems, and it was quickly realized that this might be due to the fact that both I and II can be regarded as deri­ vatives of the tropylium ion, C7H7+, which Hiickel4 in 1931 had predicted to be aromatic, a prediction which has been fully confirmed.5 However although an enormous amount of experimental work has been carried out since then on the synthesis and properties of numerous tropone and tropolone derivatives, very few theoretical studies seem as yet to have been reported.

It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. __________________________ Lee Gavin Madeley March 2010 III Abstract The first part of the dissertation involves the use of ruthenium mediated isomerization (RMI) followed by ring-closing metathesis (RCM) on a selection of phenols and naphthol-1-ol precursors – that had been subjected to allylation; followed by a heat initiated Claisen rearrangement; followed by re-allylation – to form a selection of benzofurans. This procedure, to the best of our knowledge, represents a novel method for the synthesis of benzofurans, with very good average yields of around 90% overall for the RMI/RCM and allylation steps. The lowest yield of the five synthetic steps, were for the Claisen rearrangements with a range of yields between 50% and 86%, indicating the potential to optimise the yields of these reactions, which were carried out using both conventional and microwave heating. The following five-membered oxygen-containing heterocycles were thus obtained: 4,7-dimethoxybenzofuran, 5-bromobenzofuran, 5-tert-butyl-benzofuran, 7- phenyl-1-benzofuran and naphtho[1,2-b]furan.
