Abstract
2(3H)-Furanones are tremendously important not only because of their wide occurrence in bioactive compounds but also due to their versatility in organic synthesis. Here, a straightforward approach to 2(3H)-furanones from readily available tertiary propargylic alcohols with arylboronic acids in the presence of CO using rhodium as a catalyst has been established. The method exhibits a broad substrate scope tolerating useful functional groups with a moderate to high stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Covering: 1998 up to the end of 2023Since its initial disclosure in 1951, the Kornblum DeLaMare rearrangement has proved an important synthetic transformation and has been widely adopted as a biomimetic step in natural product synthesis. Utilising the base catalysed decomposition of alkyl peroxides to yield a ketone and alcohol has found use in many syntheses as well as a key strategic step, including the unmasking of furans, as a biomimetic synthetic tool, and the use of the rearrangement to install oxygen enantioselectively. Since ca. 1998, its impact as a synthetic transformation has grown significantly, especially given the frequency of use in natural product syntheses, therefore this 25 year time period will be the focus of the review.

Abstract
By integration of oxocarbenium activation and Lewis acid coordination activation via conformational proximity-driven, Pd(II)- or Cu(I)-catalyzed intramolecular ketone haloacylation, regio- and stereoselective heterolytic ring-opening 1,5-haloacylation of cyclopropyl ketones, including those with weak single alkyl donors, has been developed for the synthesis of valuable α-quaternary halo-γ-butenolides. The vicinal carboxylic acid and ketone acceptors are no longer just spectator activators. Further, this reaction delivers a constant regioselectivity regardless of the electronic nature of substituents, even the malonate.

Abstract
The development of stereoselective olefination using sulfur ylide-derived vinyl carbenes with diazo esters and acetals is reported. Both reactions proceed through nucleophilic addition to electrophiles at the γ-position of an in situ-generated 2-alkoxy furan intermediate. The synthetic utility of the developed method is demonstrated by the total synthesis of rubrolide E. Detailed mechanistic investigations and quantum chemical calculations provide insight into the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is a major global health concern with a high prevalence in low- and middle-income countries. Natural products, particularly plant-derived compounds, have shown immense potential for developing anticancer drugs. In this study, we aimed to investigate the anticancer properties of the pericarp and seeds of Sphaerocoryne affinis fruit on human cervical carcinoma cells (HeLa) and isolate the bioactive compound from the active fraction. METHODS We prepared solvent fractions from the ethanol extracts of the pericarp and the seed portion by partitioning and assessing their cytotoxicity on HeLa cells. Subsequently, we collected acetylmelodorinol (AM), an anticancer compound, from the ethyl acetate fraction of seeds and determined its structure using nuclear magnetic resonance. We employed cytotoxicity assay, western blotting, Annexin V apoptosis assay, measurement of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, and a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, to evaluate the anticancer properties of AM on HeLa. RESULTS The solvent fractions from the seed displayed considerably higher cytotoxic activity against HeLa cells than those of the pericarp. We isolated and identified acetylmelodorinol as an anticancer compound from the ethyl acetate fraction from S. affinis seed extract. Treatment with acetylmelodorinol inhibited HeLa cell proliferation with an IC50 value of 2.62 ± 0.57 µg/mL. Furthermore, this study demonstrated that acetylmelodorinol treatment disrupted cell cycle progression by reducing the expression of cyclin E, CDK1/2, and AKT/mTOR pathways, increasing the intracellular ROS levels, reducing BCL-2/BCL-XL expression, causing DNA fragmentation and nuclear shrinkage, and triggering apoptosis through caspase 3 and 9 activation in a dose-and time-dependent manner. CONCLUSION In contrast to previous reports, this study focuses on the inhibitory effects of AM on the AKT/mTOR pathway, leading to a reduction in cell proliferation in cervical cancer cells. Our findings highlight the promising potential of acetylmelodorinol as an effective treatment for cervical cancer. Additionally, this study establishes a foundation for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying AM's properties, fostering further exploration into plant-based cancer therapies.

Abstract
This work describes the luminescent properties of the new compound β-(hydroxyaryl)-butenolides recently discovered. The compounds were subjected to UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence analyzes when diluted in different solvents. Through the results, it was possible to observe that the β-hydroxyarylutenolides have two absorption bands, one at 289-291 nm and the other with higher intensity at 328-354 nm. The emission band between 385-422 nm is observed under excitation at 324-327 nm. The compounds showed solvatochromism as a function of the analyzed solvent. In water, fluorescence quenching of all compounds occurs. Therefore, studies with compound containing the methylenedioxy group attached in phenyl ring were carried at different concentrations of water in DMSO. The decrease in the fluorescence intensity of this compound is linearly proportional to the increase in the amount of water in the DMSO, with a minimum detection volume of 0.028%. Quantum yields of three compounds were evaluated in different solvents, showing that the relationship between the structure of the compound and the solvent is essential for a high value. The fluorescence quantum yield was also measured by Thermal Lens Spectroscopy (TLS) using DMSO as the solvent, confirming the high value for the analyzed samples. Despite being preliminary, the studies revealed that these compounds have luminescent properties that could be applied in the development of chemical sensors for detecting water in DMSO.

Abstract
The stereoselective synthesis of spirocyclic pyrazolin-5-ones by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis has been less studied so far. For this reason and considering the interest of this class of compounds, here, we present the NHC-catalyzed [3 + 2]-asymmetric annulation of β-bromoenals and 1H-pyrazol-4,5-diones that achieves to produce chiral spiropyrazolone-butenolides. The synthesis is general for aryl and heteroaryl β-bromo-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and 1,3-disubstituted pyrazolones. The spirobutenolides have been obtained in good yields (up to 88%) and enantioselectivities (up to 97:3 er). This constitutes the first described example using pyrazoldiones as the starting materials for this class of spiro compounds.

Abstract
Concise syntheses of naturally occurring γ-butenolides (+)-xylogiblactones B and C have been achieved for the first time starting from commercial methyl crotonate in 5-8 steps. The synthetic course involves allenoate γ-addition to racemic aldehydes through a kinetic resolution to establish the required stereochemical framework as center and axial chirality and subsequent oxacyclization via gold catalysis to complete the (+)-xylogiblactone skeleton. Both key transformations proceed in a regio- and stereospecific manner. This outcome relies on finding an efficient synthetic method for racemic aldehydes as precursors for the kinetic resolution. Completion of the synthesis provides stereochemical clarification for (+)-xylogiblactones B and C.

Abstract
Dihydrofuran cores are commonly incorporated into synthetically and pharmacologically significant scaffolds in natural product and drug discovery chemistry. Herein, we report a concise and practical strategy to construct spiro-dihydrofuran and amino dihydrofuran scaffolds as anti-vicinal amino alcohol isosteres. Hypervalent iodine (PhI(OAc)(NTs2))-mediated C-H activation of alkynes resulted in two-bond formations with one pi bond cleavage: (i) C(sp2)-N(sp3) and O(sp3)-C(sp2); (ii) C(sp2)-N(sp3) and C(sp3)-C(sp2). The metal-free 5-endo-dig oxidative cyclization provided versatile amino 2,3- and 2,5-dihydrofurans bearing the C5 quaternary carbon. The non-toxicity of all synthesised dihydrofurans was verified via in vitro cell viability assay.

Abstract
We herein report a phosphine-catalyzed (3 + 2) annulation of cyclopropenones with a wide variety of electrophilic π systems, including aldehydes, ketoesters, imines, isocyanates, and carbodiimides, offering products of butenolides, butyrolactams, maleimides, and iminomaleimides, respectively, in high yields with broad substrate scope. An α-ketenyl phosphorous ylide is validated as the key intermediate, which undergoes preferential catalytic cyclization with aldehydes rather than stoichiometric Wittig olefinations. This phosphine-catalyzed activation of cyclopropenones thus supplies a versatile C3 synthon for formal cycloadditon reactions.

Abstract
γ-Aromatic butenolides (γ-AB) are an important type of structures found in many bioactive microbial secondary metabolites (SMs). γ-AB refer to a group of natural products (NPs) containing five-membered (unsaturated) lactones with 3-phenyl and 4-benzyl substituents. Their wide-range biological activities have inspired pharmaceutical chemists to explore its biosynthesis mechanisms and design strategies to construct the γ-AB skeleton. Recently, there are a great deal of interesting research progress on the structures, biological activities and biosynthesis of γ-AB. This review will focus on these aspects and summarize the important achievements of γ-AB from 1975 to 2021.

Abstract
A general and flexible visible light-induced photoisomerization method of γ-(Z)-alkylidenebutenolides to their corresponding E-components was reported in this article. Initially, a series of naturally occurring enantiopure γ-(Z)-alkylidenebutenolides was synthesized by employing a "Pd-Cu" bimetallic cascade cyclization protocol. In the later part, the synthesized γ-(Z)-alkylidenebutenolides were photoisomerized in the presence of a triplet photosensitizer to γ-(E)-alkylidenebutenolides in reasonably acceptable yields. Total synthesis of goniobutenolides, hygrophorones, ramariolide D, melodorinols/acetyl-melodorinols, versicolactones, and phomopsolidones was achieved by employing the developed methods.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:24237-24241. [PMID: 36128547 PMCID: PMC9404108 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra04546j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Annulation reaction of α-keto acids with cyclic or acyclic aliphatic ketones is reported herein to divergently access γ-hydroxy-butenolides and γ-alkylidene-butenolides depending on the amount of BF3·Et2O. This protocol features good functional tolerance and ease of operation, to open a route to access butenolides via an annulation and dehydration process. An efficient approach to divergently access γ-hydroxy-butenolides and γ-alkylidene-butenolides via annulation reaction of α-keto acids with simple aliphatic ketones is reported herein.![]()
