2-Aryl 5-hydroxy benzo[d]oxazoles were designed as potential anticancer agents. A one-pot synthesis of these compounds dispenses the need for ortho-disubstituted precursor, aminophenol and proceeds via CN formation as a key step followed by CO cyclization to form benzo[d]oxazoles. The single crystal X-ray diffraction study was used to confirm the molecular structure of a representative compound unambiguously. All of these compounds were evaluated for their anti-proliferative properties in vitro against five cancer cell lines as well as noncancerous cells. Most of these compounds showed selective growth inhibition of cancer cells and few of them were found to be promising with IC values in the range of 0.8-2.8 μM, comparable to the known anticancer drug doxorubicin.

A selective and tunable approach for oxidation of 4-pyrones has been developed ring-opening transformations leading to various hydroxylated oxaheterocycles. The first step of the strategy includes the base-catalyzed epoxidation of 5-acyl-4-pyrones in the presence of hydrogen peroxide for the effective synthesis of pyrone epoxides in high yields. The epoxides bearing the COEt group are reactive molecules that can undergo both pyrone and oxirane ring-opening deformylation to produce hydroxylated 2-pyrones or 4-pyrones.

A simple and convenient method for the synthesis of new methyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)- and 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-oxo-4-polyfluorochromen-3-carboxylates as analogs of natural methoxy-containing flavones is proposed. As a result of their directed modification under basic conditions, 7-imidazolyl-substituted derivatives were obtained. In aqueous-organic medium under basic conditions, 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-3-(methoxycarbonyl)flavones were transformed into 6,8-difluoro-5-hydroxy-7-(1-imidazol-1-yl)-3-(methoxycarbonyl)flavones as a result of rearrangement, while 6,7,8-trifluorinated analogs underwent a rearrangement to give 6,8-difluoro-3-(hydroxyarylidene)-7-(1-imidazol-1-yl)coumarins under the same conditions.

A series of novel 6-pyrazolinylcoumarins has been synthesized via multi-step protocol. The synthetic procedure was based on the acetylation of hydroxycoumarins; Fries rearrangement and Claisen-Schmidt condensation; the target 6-[5-aryl-4,5-dihydropyrazol-3-yl]-5-hydroxy-7-methylcoumarins () were obtained under reactions of hydrazine and 2-aryl-5-methyl-2,3-dihydropyrano[2,3-]chromen-4,8-diones as the last phase of the protocol. Anticancer activity screening in NCI60-cell lines assay allowed identification of compound with the highest level of antimitotic activity with mean GI value of 10.

Solvolysis reaction of methyl (4S,5S)-4-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-5-tosyloxy-2(E)-hexenoate 5 in water-saturated MeNO(2) gave the 1,2-migration product, (4S,5S)-5-hydroxy-4-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-2-(E)-hexenoate 6 (55% yield), which was converted to methyl (R)-(4'-methylphenyl)hexanoate 11 in 25% overall yield (5 steps). Treatment of (R)-11 with MeLi gave tertiary alcohol congener 12, which was subjected to dehydration to afford (R)-(-)-curcumene 1. An introduction of hydroxyl group at meta-position of the aromatic ring in (R)-11 was achieved based on consecutive treatment [1) selective iodination, 2) conversion of aryl iodide to aryl boronate, 3) conversion of aryl boronate to phenol].
