The antifeedant polymethylated flavones 5-hydroxy-3,6,7,8,4′-heptamethoxyflavone, 5-hydroxy-3,6,7,8-tetramethoxyflavone, and 5,6-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyflavone have been isolated from the cudweed, Gnaphalium affine D. Don (Compositae). These flavonoids and authentic analogues showed insect antifeedant activity against the common cutworm (Spodoptera litura F.). In a previous paper, it was suggested that there was no substituent on the B-ring of the flavonoid for the beneficial antifeedant activity against the common cutworm. These flavonoids having a phenyl group as the B-ring and the chromone as elimination of the B-ring from the flavonoids were used to test the hypothesis of the previously described B-ring effect. The known fact is that Sculletaria baicarensis (Rutaceae) produced the 2-phenyl flavone. Test compounds and their methylated derivatives were prepared from this material for the structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of insect antifeedant activity. In spite of the 2-phenyl flavonoids, some tested compounds did not show any insect antifeedant activity against the common cutworm, although these inactive flavonoids were deficient in the 6-substituent group on the A-ring of the flavonoid. This 6-position-substituted derivative almost showed strong insect antifeedant activity against common cutworm. Moreover, the tested flavonoids having a hydroxyl group as a substituent on any of the positions tended to increase the activity. These results suggested the importance of the 6-position substitution on the flavonoid; however, hydrophilic substituents decreased the activity. Baicalein (5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone) derivatives did not show any activity despite having the 6-substituent derivative. Although the activity of some chromones increased the activity of the flavone, the bulky B-ring was a disadvantage for the antifeedant activity. It was suggested that the charge on C(3) and C(5) of the flavonoid was important for the biological activity. Additionally, an adequate hydrogen bonding property, which is different from lipophilicity, was an advantage for the activity on the basis of a QSAR analysis.

In this paper, a one-pot facile route for the BiCl3/RuCl3-mediated synthesis of functionalized flavones is described, including: (i) intermolecularortho-acylation of substituted phenols with cinnamoyl chlorides, and (ii) intramolecular cyclodehydrogenation of the resultingo-hydroxychalcones. The reaction conditions are discussed herein.

Direct selective desaturation of carbonyl compounds to synthesize α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds represents an environmentally benign alternative to classical stepwise procedures. In this study, we designed an ideal CeO2-supported Pd(II)-on-Au nanoparticle catalyst (Pd/Au/CeO2) and successfully achieved heterogeneously catalyzed selective desaturation of cyclohexanones to cyclohexenones using O2 in air as the oxidant. Besides cyclohexenones, various bioactive enones can also be synthesized from the corresponding saturated ketones under open air conditions in the presence of Pd/Au/CeO2. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that α-C-H bond cleavage in the substrates is the turnover-limiting step of this desaturation reaction.
