A ratiometric fluorescent probe for hydrazine based on a coumarin chalcone framework and a levulinic acid terminal group with a low detection limit (0.1 ppb, 0.003 μM), a large ratiometric fluorescence change (I/I, 1265-fold enhancement) and a wide pH work range (3.0-12.0) was developed. The mechanism analysis of the isolated hydrazine product characterized by NMR, HRMS and the crystal structure indicates that the levulinic acid group is firstly removed by deprotection and then the dihydropyrazole ring is formed due to the addition and subsequent cyclization reaction in the presence of hydrazine.

Coumarin-chalcone hybrids are promising compounds that could be used as lead structures in the fight against parasitic diseases. In this work, sixteen hybrids of coumarin-chalcone (3-cinnamoyl-2H-chromen-2-ones) were synthesized, and their in vitro biological activity was evaluated against intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania braziliensis and Trypanosoma cruzi; as well as their cytotoxicity in the U-937 cell line. Compounds (E)-3-(3-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)acryloyl)-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one (H25) and (E)-7-(diethylamino)-3-(4-(methoxyphenyl)acryloyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (H12) showed the highest antileishmanial activity with EC50 values of 18.

Introduction: Toxoplasmosis, a zoonotic infection caused by the apicomplexan parasite , affects a significant portion of the global human population. This condition, particularly dangerous for pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals, currently lacks effective treatment options.
Methods: Eighteen coumarin-based derivatives were synthesized, comprising coumarin-chalcone hybrids (5a-i) and coumarin-pyrazoline hybrids (6a-i).

The synthesis of coumarin- and flavonoid-chalcone hybrids via Pd-catalyzed Heck-type coupling of arene diazonium salts and 8-allylcoumarins and -flavonoids is reported. The β-hydride elimination step proceeds with high regioselectivity if an OMOM-substituent is present at the position C7, adjacent to the allyl group. A selective allylic oxidation of the coupling products was accomplished using DDQ in the presence of silica to furnish the chalcones.
