A palladium-catalyzed aromatic decarboxylation reaction has been developed. With electron-rich aromatic adds, the reaction proceeds efficiently under fairly mild conditions in good yields. The method was useful with complex functionalized substrates containing hindered carboxylic adds.

Muchimangins are benzophenone-xanthone hybrid polyketides produced by Securidaca longepedunculata. However, their biological activities have not been fully investigated, since they are minor constituents in this plant. To evaluate the possibility of muchimangins as antibacterial agent candidates, five muchimangin analogs were synthesized from 2,4,5-trimethoxydiphenyl methanol and the corresponding xanthones, by utilizing p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate for the Br?nsted acid-catalysis. The antibacterial assays against Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, and Gram-negative bacteria, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, revealed that the muchimangin analogs (±)-1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxy-4-(phenyl-(2′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)methyl)-xanthone (1), (±)-1,3,6-trihydroxy-4-(phenyl-(2′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)methyl)-xanthone (2), and (±)-1,3-dihydroxy-4-(phenyl-(2′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)methyl)-xanthone (3) showed significant activities against S. aureus, with MIC values of 10.0, 10.0, and 25.0?μM, respectively. Analogs (±)-1 and (±)-2 also exhibited antibacterial activities against B. subtilis, with MIC values of 50.0 and 12.5?μM, respectively. Furthermore, (+)-3 enhanced the antibacterial activity against S. aureus, with a MIC value of 10?μM.

A ligand-free, powerful, and practical method for mono and polymethoxylation of unactivated aryl bromides has been developed; CuCl was used as catalyst, HCOOMe as cocatalyst, and methanolic MeONa as both nucleophile and solvent. This eco-friendly procedure is characterized by operational simplicity, inexpensive substrates (unactivated mono to polybromoarenes), full conversion, and direct recovery of pure MeOH.

This work reports a mild efficient and sustainable protocol for N-methylation of indole and O-methylation of phenol using dimethylcarbonate as an environmentally safe, non-toxic, biodegradable and green methylating agent under microwave conditions. Magnesium oxide (MgO) has been employed as a heterogeneous and recyclable base for clean N-methylation of indole and O-methylation of phenol with dimethylcarbonate. Basic properties of the fresh and recycled MgO were measured by temperature programmed desorption (CO2-TPD) analysis. The CO2-TPD runs suggested that both strong and moderately basic sites are present on the oxide, while only the moderately basic sites are responsible for the N-and O-methylation of indole and phenol, respectively, using DMC as a methylating agent. The CO2-TPD analysis showed that the basic sites on fresh and recycled MgO were comparable. The MgO was isolated by simple filtration and recycled efficiently without loss in activity and selectivity.
