Dirchromone is a bioactive vinyl sulfoxide-bearing chromone first isolated from the shrub Dirca palustris. Altogether, 32 of its derivatives were prepared to assess the effect of substitution of its chromone core upon activities against cancer cell lines, Gram-positive bacteria, and fungi (such as Candida albicans). All compounds were synthesized following a synthetic strategy involving Pummerer and soft-enolization Baker-Venkataraman rearrangements. Substituent position changes induced little variability on the activities tested. There was no correlation between cytotoxic and antibacterial effects, suggesting different underlying mechanisms of action. In particular, hydroxy group and cyanide substituents diminished cytotoxicity, with the latter featuring enhanced antibacterial activity. Higher homologues of 6-alkoxydirchromones also exhibited progressively emerging antifungal activity. Other modifications had moderate effects on cytotoxicity with some derivatives leading to increased potency. This behavior highlights the robustness of the natural dirchromone pharmacophore toward decoration, thus paving the way for more elaborate future drug design.

The invention discloses an efficient preparation method of 2'-hydroxyacetophenone compounds. The method comprises the following steps: substituted phenol and acetic anhydride in a molar ratio of 1:(1-1.1) is subjected to a reaction at 130-150 DEG C in the absent of a solvent, acetic acid substituted phenyl ester as shown in the formula is generated, and acetic acid and acetic acid substituted phenyl ester are separated by rectification; prepared acetic acid substituted phenyl ester is subjected to a transposition reaction under the action of a catalyst in an organic solvent at the temperatureof 50-120 DEG C, and 2'-hydroxyacetophenone compounds as shown in the formula are generated; filtering is performed to remove the catalyst after the reaction is finished, the solvent is removed by evaporation, and the 2'-hydroxyacetophenone compounds are prepared by rectification under vacuum, wherein the catalyst is phosphomolybdic acid, phosphotungstic acid, silicotungstic acid or a mixture of the acid. The preparation method has mild conditions and simple flow, and is environmentally friendly and suitable for industrial production, selectivity is high, and ortho-position selectivity is as high as 99.5%.
