The Baeyer-Villiger or Beckmann rearrangements are established methods for the cleavage of ketone derivatives under acidic conditions, proceeding for unsymmetrical precursors selectively at the more substituted site. However, the fragmentation regioselectivity cannot be switched and fragmentation at the less-substituted terminus is so far not possible. We report here that the reaction of ketone enolates with commercial alkyl nitrites provides a direct and regioselective way of fragmenting ketones into esters and oximes or ω-hydroxyimino esters, respectively. A comprehensive study of the scope of this reaction with respect to ketone classes and alkyl nitrites is presented. Control over the site of cleavage is gained through regioselective enolate formation by various bases. Oxidation of kinetic enolates of unsymmetrical ketones leads to the otherwise unavailable "anti-Beckmann"cleavage at the less-substituted side chain, while cleavage of thermodynamic enolates of the same ketones represents an alternative to the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation or the Beckmann rearrangement under basic conditions. The method is suited for the transformation of natural products and enables access to orthogonally reactive dicarbonyl compounds.

Objective: A new family of 3′-(Mono, di or tri-substituted phenyl)-4′-(4-(methylsulfonyl) phenyl) spiroisoxazoline derivatives containing indanone spirobridge was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their selective COX-2 inhibitory potency and cytotoxicity on different cell lines. Methods: A synthetic reaction based on 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition mechanism was applied for the regiospecific formation of various spiroisoxazolines. The activity of the newly synthesized compounds was determined using in vitro cyclooxygenase inhibition assay. The toxicity of the compounds was evaluated by MTT assay. In addition, induction of apoptosis, and expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2 and caspase-3 mRNA in MCF-7 cells were evaluated following exposure to compound 9f. The docking calculations and molecular dynamics simulation were performed to study the most probable modes of interactions of compound 9f upon binding to COX-2 enzyme. Results: The docking results showed that the synthesized compounds were able to form hydrogen bonds with COX-2 involving methyl sulfonyl, spiroisoxazoline, meta-methoxy and fluoro functional groups. Spiroisoxazoline derivatives containing methoxy group at the C-3′ phenyl ring meta position (9f and 9g) showed superior selectivity with higher potency of inhibiting COX-2 enzyme. Furthermore, compound 9f, which possesses 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl on C-3′ carbon atom of isoxazoline ring, exhibited the highest COX-2 inhibitory activity, and also displayed the most potent cytotoxicity on MCF-7 cells with an IC50 value of 0.03 ± 0.01 μM, comparable with that of doxorubicin (IC50 of 0.062 ± 0.012 μM). The results indicated that compound 9f could promote apoptosis. Also, compared to the control group, the mRNA expression of Bax and caspase-3 significantly increased, while that of Bcl-2 significantly decreased upon exposure to compound 9f which may propose the activation of mitochondrial-associated pathway as the mechanism of observed apoptosis. Conclusion: In vitro biological evaluations accompanied with in silico studies revealed that indanone tricyclic spiroisoxazoline derivatives are good candidates for the development of new anti-inflammatory and anticancer (colorectal and breast) agents.

After known adduct (4) was synthesized by cycloaddition reaction of cyclopentadiene with 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione, seven new isoxazoline derivatives were synthesized from reactions of 4 with corresponding oximes prepared from benzaldehyde derivatives in the existence of the aqueous NaOCl in CH2Cl2 at 0°C—RT via nitrile oxides. Four new pyrazoline derivatives were also synthesized from reactions of 4 with corresponding prepared reagents via nitrile imines. Selectively, each of all isoxazole and pyrazoline derivatives was synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of compound 4 with the corresponding reagents. Based on the results of their biological activity analyses, Ki values for acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and alpha-glucosidase (α-Gly) enzymes were obtained in this range 32.15 ± 5.73–107.44 ± 19.52 22.57 ± 4.30–186.07 ± 23.51, and 69.08 ± 8.54–528.07 ± 38.46 nM, respectively. Besides that, these compounds were subjected to molecular docking to describe the interaction against AChE, BChE, and α-Gly enzymes in which important interactions were visualized and evaluated with residues of the binding region in each target enzyme.
