We observed intriguing substituent effects in the reaction between 4-substituted acetophenones and acenaphthenequinone in the presence of KOH in methanol. In all cases, expected Claisen-Schimdt condensation was the first step. However, depending on the nature of 4-substituent on acetophenone, the initially formed condensation product remain unchanged or underwent Domino sequence of reactions to give three different 2:2 adducts arising through three distinct pathways. The interactions of acenaphthenone-2-ylidene ketones with the target proteins were performed by molecular docking studies. The prediction of in silico ADME belongings of the synthesized compounds revealed substantial drug-likeness characters based on Lipinski's rules.
