A simple, efficient, and environmentally benign method for a three-component reaction of an amine, an aldehyde or a ketone, and diethyl phosphite catalyzed by Amberlite-IR 120 resin has been developed to afford alpha-amino phosphonates in high yields and short reaction times under solvent-free reaction conditions. The major advantages of the present method are good yields, inexpensive, ecofriendly and reusable catalyst, mild and solvent-free reaction conditions and tolerance towards various functionalities present in the substrates.

Chemical examination of aerial parts of the plant, Lagascea mollis has resulted in the isolation of two compounds, an acyclic diterpene alcohol which has been identified as (E)-phytol 1 and lauric amide 3. Their structures have been elucidated by spectral data and chemical transformations. This is the first report of isolation of both these compounds from this plant It is noteworthy that compound 1 has been found to be a potent antimycobacterial agent and thus, L. mollis could be exploited as an alternative source.

The total synthesis of racemic incarvilleatone has been achieved by utilizing unexplored accelerated Rauhut-Currier (RC) dimeriza-tion. The other key steps of the synthesis are oxa-Michael and aldol reactions in a tandem sequence. Racemic incarvilleatone was separated by chiral HPLC and the configuration of each enantiomer was determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In addition, a one-pot synthesis of (+/-)-incarviditone has been achieved from rac-rengyolone by using KHMDS as a base. We have also assessed the anticancer activity of all the synthesized compounds in breast cancer cells nonetheless, they exhibited very limited growth suppression activity.
