A cost-efficient method for the preparation of a series of N-substituted 2-fluoroallylamines and their application in the synthesis of fluoroalkene-containing lactams are described. N-substituted 2-fluoroallylamine could be readily synthesized from methyl 2-fluoroacrylate via aminolysis and subsequently selective reduction of the amide group. These amines were further converted into the corresponding amides with diverse acids bearing a terminal double bond. The Ring-Closing Metathesis (RCM) of the resulting amides led to the formation fluorovinyl-containing lactams in good yields.

Abstract
A series of penicillide analogues, with modifications at C-3 and C-9 positions, are synthesized as potential cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors. The preliminary in vitro inhibition assay provided some valuable structure-activity relationship information about penicillide.

Abstract
A convergent approach to dibenzodioxocinones was explored, thereby racemic penicillide ((±)-1a) could be obtained in 13 steps in 4.2% overall yield, based on 5-amino-2-methylphenol (5) (Schemes 2–4).

Abstract
A new tandem route leading to imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines has been explored through the direct amination of aryl propargylic alcohols with 2-aminopyridines and their subsequent intramolecular cycloisomerization. A ZnCl2/CuCl system has been developed to promote this transformation, which resulted in various imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in moderate to good yields.

Luteolin, 5,7-dihydroxy-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one, has been proposed and proved to be a novel dopamine transporter (DAT) activator. In order to develop this potential of luteolin, a series of novel luteolin derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their DAT agonistic activities, utilizing constructed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines stably expressing rat DAT. Biological screening results demonstrated that luteolin derivatives 1d, 1e, and 4c carry great DAT agonistic potency (EC50 = 0.046, 0.869, and 1.375 μM, respectively) compared with luteolin 8 (EC50 = 1.45 ± 0.29 μM). Luteolin derivative 1d, notably, exhibited a 32-fold-higher DAT agonistic potency than luteolin. These luteolin derivatives represent a novel DAT agonist class, from which lead compounds useful for exploration of additional novel DAT agonists could be drawn.The synthesis of the novel dopamine transporter (DAT) agonist luteolin derivative 1d (EC50 = 0.046 μm) is reported.

A novel three-component reaction towards the synthesis of imidazo[1,2a]pyridines was independently developed based on 2-aminopyridines, aldehydes and alkynes, and thereby imidazo[1,2a]pyridines were obtained in acceptable yields by the CuSO4/TsOH catalyzed three-component reaction.A novel three-component reaction towards the synthesis of imidazo[1,2a]pyridines was independently developed based on 2-aminopyridines, aldehydes and alkynes, and thereby imidazo[1,2a]pyridines were obtained in acceptable yields by the CuSO4/TsOH catalyzed three-component reaction.

Abstract
The first synthetic approach to (±)-Δ3-2-hydroxybakuchiol (=4-[(1E,5E)-3-ethenyl-7-hydroxy-3,7-dimethylocta-1,5-dien-1-yl]phenol; 14) and its analogues 13a–13f was developed by 12 steps (Schemes 2 and 3). The key features of the approach are the construction of the quaternary C-center bearing the ethenyl group by a Johnson–Claisen rearrangement (6); and of an (E)-alkenyl iodide via a Takai–Utimoto reaction (11); and an arylation via a Negishi cross-coupling reaction (12e–12f).
