A concise total synthesis of a naturally occurring 3-isopropyl-tetrahydropyrrolo[1, 2-a]pyrimidine-2, 4(1H, 3H)-dione (ITPD) isolated from Aconitum taipeicum with a three-step approach was depicted in this study for the first time. Two key intermediates, diethyl isopropylmalonate (2) and pyrrolidin-2-amine (3), being synthsesised separately from initial diethyl malonate (4) and 3, 4-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-5-amine (5), were utilised to obtain the compound entitled ITPD. ITPD showed a promising anticancer activity in vitro on SMMC-7721 cell lines. Flow cytometry and cell cycle analysis revealed that ITPD could induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in S phase. The occurrence of apoptosis possibly attributed to the mechanism that ITPD could mediate the mitochondrial pathway through activating caspase-3/9 and increasing the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 to finally trigger cell apoptosis and DNA damage. Collectively, the possibility to produce sufficient quantity of synthetic ITPD provided the base for further bio-evaluation in vivo and in vitro. The bioactive assay suggested that it may be a potential candidate for further chemical optimisation and use in cancer therapy.

An efficient rhodium-catalyzed protocol for the synthesis of cyclopentenones based on a three-component reaction of acrylic acids, formaldehyde, and malonates via vinylic C-H activation is reported. Exploratory studies showed that 5-alkylation of as-prepared cyclopentenones could be realized smoothly by the treatment of a variety of alkyl halides with a Na2CO3/MeOH solution. Excess formaldehyde and malonate led to a multicomponent reaction that afforded the multisubstituted cyclopentenones through a Michael addition.
Silylene-Bridged Tetranuclear Palladium Cluster as a Catalyst for Hydrogenation of Alkenes and Alkynes

A planar tetranuclear palladium cluster was obtained from the reaction of a cyclotetrasilane with [Pd(CNtBu)2]3. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and DFT calculations revealed that the tetranuclear framework of the cluster was supported effectively by the bridging organosilylene ligand. Although [Pd(CNtBu)2]3 as well as mononuclear palladium bis(silyl) complex, cis-Pd(SiMePh2)2(CNtBu)2, do not act as the effective catalyst, the planar tetranuclear palladium cluster acts as an efficient catalyst for the hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes including sterically hindered tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes.
