Toward a total synthesis of acremoxanthone A, we report a model study on the construction of the EFG ring system. The key steps include (1) an intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an aryl nitrile oxide with a dienone, and (2) an S N Ar reaction for construction of the F ring.

Photoredox catalysis, especially in combination with transition metal catalysis, can produce redox states of transition metal catalysts to facilitate challenging bond formations that are not readily accessible in conventional redox catalysis. For arene functionalization, metallophotoredox catalysis has successfully made use of the same leaving groups as those valuable in conventional cross-coupling catalysis, such as bromide. Yet the redox potentials of common photoredox catalysts are not sufficient to reduce most aryl bromides, so synthetically useful aryl radicals are often not directly available. Therefore, the development of a distinct leaving group more appropriately matched in redox potential could enable new reactivity manifolds for metallophotoredox catalysis, especially if arylcopper(iii) complexes are accessible, from which the most challenging bond-forming reactions can occur. Here we show the conceptual advantages of aryl thianthrenium salts for metallophotoredox catalysis, and their utility in site-selective late-stage aromatic fluorination.

A series of deuterated curcuminoids (CUR) were synthesized, bearing two to six OCD3 groups, in some cases in combination with methoxy groups, and in others together with fluorine or chlorine atoms. A model ring-deuterated hexamethoxy-CUR–BF2 and its corresponding CUR compound were also synthesized from a 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzaldehyde-3,5-d2 precursor. As with their protio analogues, the deuterated compounds were found to remain exclusively in the enolic form. The antiproliferative activities of these compounds were studied by in vitro bioassays against a panel of 60 cancer cell lines, and more specifically in human colorectal cancer (CRC) cells (HCT116, HT29, DLD-1, RKO, SW837, and Caco2) and in normal colon cells (CCD841CoN). The deuterated CUR–BF2 adducts exhibited better overall growth inhibition by NCI-60 assay, while for other CUR–BF2 adducts the non-deuterated analogues were more cytotoxic. Results of the more focused comparative cell viability assays followed the same trend, but with some variation depending on cell lines. The CUR–BF2 adducts exhibited significantly higher cytotoxicity than CURs. Structural studies (X-ray and DFT) and computational molecular docking calculations comparing their inhibitory efficacy with those of known anticancer agents used in chemotherapy are also reported.
