substituted naphthofurans and naphthopyrans were constructed at high temperature from allyl or propargyl naphthyl ethers via claisen rearrangement in moderate to good yields. also, substituted (trimethylsilyl)-naphthofurans were synthesized from the corresponding naphtofurans.

a new, high yielding method for the preparation of vasicinone (7) is described. reaction of 2-nitrobenzoic acid with n, n¢-carbonyldiimidazole followed by 2-pyrrolidinone gave 1-(2-nitrobenzoyl)pyrrolidine-2-one (3). reduction of the latter with 10% pd-c afforded deoxyvasicinone (4). reaction of deoxyvasicinone (4) with bromine yielded monobromo-deoxyvasicinone (5). exchange of bromine of 5 wit...

objective(s): alzheimer's disease (ad) is a neurodegenerative disorder in elderly patients. decrease in cholinergic neurotransmission is the main known cause in the pathophysiology of the disease. improvement and potentiation of the cholinergic system could be beneficial for treatment of the ad. acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil can enhance the duration of action of acetylc...

objective(s):according to the prevalence of neoplastic diseases, there is a deep necessity for discovery of novel anticancer drugs in the field of medicinal chemistry. in the current study, a new series ofphenylthiazole derivatives(compounds 4a-4f) was synthesizedand theiranticancer activity was assessed in vitro. materials and methods:all synthesized derivatives were evaluated towards three hu...
