A general method for the aldol condensation of aromatic ketones with aldehydes was developed under continuous-flow conditions using a commercially available, strongly basic anion-exchange resin (A26) as catalyst. This procedure, in addition to exhibiting a wide substrate scope, promoted carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions using a quasi-stoichiometric ratio of starting reagents with good to excellent yields, thereby forming a limited amount of waste and allowing the process to be applied to sequential-flow systems. A proof of concept was developed in the first fully heterogeneously catalyzed two-step flow synthesis of donepezil, which is a blockbuster commercial anti-Alzheimer's drug.

A series of twenty seven acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, as potential agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, were designed and synthesised based upon previously unexplored chemical space surrounding the molecular skeleton of the drug donepezil, which is currently used for the management of mild to severe Alzheimer's disease. Two series of analogues were prepared, the first looking at the replacement of the piperidine ring in donepezil with different sized saturated N-containing ring systems and the second looking at the introduction of different linkers between the indanone and piperidine rings in donepezil. The most active analogue 5,6-dimethoxy-1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl 1-benzylpiperidine-4-carboxylate (67) afforded an in vitro IC50value of 0.03 ± 0.07 μM against acetylcholinesterase with no cytotoxicity observed (IC50of >100 μM, SH-SY5Y cell line). In comparison donepezil had an IC50of 0.05 ± 0.06 μM and an observed cytotoxicity IC50of 15.54 ± 1.12 μM. Molecular modelling showed a strong correlation between activity and in silico binding in the active site of acetylcholinesterase.
