Reactions of various diketo compounds with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (Me3SiCF3) in the presence of catalytic amounts of cesium fluoride have been studied. gamma-Ketoesters, CH3COCH2CH2CO2R (R = Et, Bu), were reacted with 2 equiv of Me3SiCF3 at room temperature to give CH3C(OH)(CF3)CH2CH2COCF3 in good yield after hydrolysis. alpha-Diketones, R1COCOR2 (R1 = R2 = Ph; R1 = Ph, R2 = Me; R1 = R2 = Me; R1 = Me, R2 = Et), when reacted with Me3SiCF3, formed 1:1 or 1:2 addition products depending on the reaction conditions and stoichiometry used. Reactions of diones CH3COXCOCH3 (X = -CH2CH2-, -C6H4C6H4-, -CH2-) with Me3SiCF3 also led to the formation of the mono- or diaddition products depending on reaction conditions. With various kinds of substituted arylglyoxals, 2 equiv of Me3SiCF3 produced monoaddition products in 70-75% yield and diaddition products in 5-10% yield. One of the monoalcohols and two of the diols have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis, and the presence of inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding has been confirmed.

Although curcumin is a well-known natural polyphenol with many biological activities, its clinical application has been limited by low aqueous solubility and stability. Therefore, curcumin derivatives have been proposed to overcome these limitations and increase anticancer activity. This study tested curcumin derivatives with modified feruloyl moieties ( and ) and the β-diketo moiety () to better understand their anticancer mechanism against human bladder cancer cells.

The phytochemical investigation of resulted in the isolation of 15 previously undescribed triterpenoids (desmondiins A, C-P) and 8 already described compounds. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses. The compounds were identified as tirucallane and euphane triterpenes based on 7-keto-8-ene, 11-keto-8-ene, or 7,11-diketo-8-ene skeletons.

The effective implementation of drug precursor legislation has driven the innovation and design of new alternative substances. The application of 1,3-dicarbonyl precursors as alternative precursors for the synthesis of 1-phenyl-2-propanone (P2P) and 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl-2-propanone (MDP2P) has created new challenges to legal control. Their 1,3-dicarbonyl structure allows the precursors to exist as an equilibrium mixture of the tautomeric diketo and keto-enolic forms during the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis.

The design and synthesis of a library of 21 novel benzenesulfonamide-bearing 3-functionalized pyrazole-linked 1,2,3-triazole derivatives as dual inhibitors of cathepsin B and carbonic anhydrase enzymes are reported. The target 1,2,3-triazole-linked pyrazolic esters (16) were synthesized by the condensation of 1,2,3-triazolic diketo esters with 4-hydrazinobenzenesulfonamide hydrochloride, and these were further converted into the corresponding carboxylic acid (17) and carboxamide (18) analogs. The synthesized compounds were assayed in vitro for their inhibition potential against human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms I, II, IX, and XII.
