Base-promoted isomerisation of acetylene 12 provided allene 11 in a yield of 80%. 1-(Pentafluorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ol 2 was prepared from phenylacetylene and pentafluorobenzaldehyde. The condensation of nicotinaldehyde with trimethylsilylacetylene gave the 3-(trimethylsilyl)-1-(pyridine-3-yl)prop-2-yn-1-ol 7. The removal of the silyl group of 7 to acetylene 8 was done in basic conditions. The Pd catalysed condensation of the acetylene 8 with iodobenzene gave 3-phenyl-1-(pyridine-3-yl)prop-2-yn-1-ol 9. The Pd catalysed condensation of 8 with 3-bromopyridine gave the 1,3-dipyridin-3-yl-prop-2-yn-1-ol 14. The propargylic alcohols 2, 9 and 14 were converted to the acetates 3, 10 and 15 with acetic anhydride-pyridine.

(Z)-4-Pyridyl propenones 11 are detected as initial products when large substituents such as trimethylsilyl, tert-butyl and phenyl are attached at C-3 of the propynols and these (Z)-enones 11 are isomerised to the (E)-isomers 3 under the reaction conditions. In the presence of deuterated solvent, both hydrogens at the double bond of enone 3d are deuterated. An allenol is proposed as intermediate whose preferential protonation occurs at the less hindered side giving the (Z)-enone. The propargylic alcohols, pyridin-2-yl 12 and quinolin-4-yl 5, are converted to (E)-enones 13 and 7, respectively.

Malvaceae) ethanolic extract was evaluated using different antioxidant tests, including reducing power, free radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, and metal chelating activities. The extract of marshmallow (A. officinalis L.) exhibited strong total antioxidant activity. The concentration of 50, 100, and 250 µg/mL of ethanol extract of marshmallow (A. officinalis L.) showed 85.5%, 91.2%, and 96.4% inhibition on peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion, respectively. On the other hand, 100 µg/mL of standard antioxidant such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and α‐tocopherol exhibited 94.5%, 99.1%, and 80% inhibition on peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion, respectively. The extract of marshmallow (A. officinalis L.) had effective reducing power, free radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, and metal chelating activities at same concentration (50, 100, and 250 µg/mL). Those various antioxidant activities were compared with standard antioxidants such as BHA, BHT, and α‐tocopherol.

One-pot synthesis is described for synthetically valuable 4,6,8-tribromoquinoline (3) and 6,8dibromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (6) on bromination of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (7) in efficient yields (75 and 90%, respectively). 6-Bromo-(4) and 6,8-dibromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (6) were converted to 6-bromo-(1) and 6,8-dibromo quinolines (2), respectively, by aromatization with DDQ in 83 and 77% yields, respectively. Several novel trisubstituted quinoline derivatives were efficiently prepared via lithium-halogen exchange reactions of tribromide 3. Treatment of 4,6,8-tribromoquinoline with BuLi followed by quenching with electrophiles [Si(CH 3 ) 3 Cl, S 2 (CH 3 ) 2 , I 2 ] regioselectively proceeded at C-4 and C-8 sites and afforded corresponding 4,8-disubstituted-6-bromoquinolines. Similarly, lithiation of tribromide 3 followed by addition of water to the intermediate produced 6-bromoquinoline in 65% yield. Copper-induced nucleophilic substitution of tribromide 3 with NaOMe afforded 4,6,8-trimethoxyquinoline (17) in 60% yield. 1 8.90 d 7.44 dd 8.10 d 7.90 s 7.80 dd 8.00 d J 34 ¼8.3 J 23 ¼2.6 J 78 ¼9.2 J 57 ¼2.2 2 9.04 dd 7.49 dd 8.09 dd 7.96 d 8.16 d d J 23 ¼4.2 J 24 ¼1.6 J 57 ¼2.4 J 34 ¼8.3 3 8.99 d 8.20 d d 8.14 d 7.86 d d J 57 ¼2.2 J 23 ¼2.2 13 8.99 d 8.14 d d 7.96 d 7.86 d d J 23 ¼1.5, J 57 ¼2.1 Silyl d 0.39 s, 0.45 s 14 8.76 d 8.20 d d 7.60 d 7.79 d d J 23 ¼3.0, J 57 ¼2.0 SCH 3 d 3.07, 3.05 15 9.05 d 8.40 d d 8.35 d 7.80 d d J 57 ¼2.7 J 23 ¼2.0 16 9.00 dd 7.42 dd 8.00 dd 7.95d 8.40 d d J 57 ¼2.6 J 23 ¼4.2 J 34 ¼8.3 J 24 ¼1.6 17 8.40 d 7.18 d d 6.40 d 6.50 d d J 23 ¼2.7, J 57 ¼2.4 OMe 4 3.80 s 3.40 t 1.91 p 2.71 t 7.10 s d 6.32 d 7.05 d J 78 ¼8.3 J 32 ¼5.8 5 3.60 s 3.40 t 1.92 p 2.75 d 7.17 d 6.40 t 6.96 d d J 56 ¼7.8 J 67 ¼7.8 J 32 ¼5.8 J 43 ¼6.3 6 4.43 s 3.34 t 1.92 p 2.73 t 7.31 d d 6.96 d d J 57 ¼1.6 J 32 ¼5.8 J 43 ¼6.3

Aerial parts of the plant material were dried and extracted with hexanedichloromethane (extract 1), ethyl acetate -dichloromethane (extract 2) and methanoldichloromethane (extract 3) in a ratio of 1:1 at rt successively. The solvents were evaporated to give crude extracts. Extract 1 was suspended in water at 608C then partitioned successively with hexane and ethyl acetate to give hexane and ethyl acetate portions. After the column chromatography (silica gel) of ethyl acetate extract, one new and four known compounds were isolated. The new compound was named as 1 (12S,18R)-15,16-epoxy-2b,6b-dihydroxy-neo-cleroda-13(16),14-dien-20,l2-olide-l8, l9-hemiacetal (teuchamaedryn D) (4). The known compounds were teucrin A (1), dihydroteugin (2), teucroxide (3), syspirensin A (5). The chromatographic methods were also applied for extract 3 to isolate verbascoside (6) and teucrioside . The structure of isolated compounds was elucidated by spectroscopic methods including LC-TOF/MS, 1D NMR and 2D NMR.

While copper-promoted substitution of 6,8dibromide 2 produced monomethoxides 3 and 4, a prolonged reaction time mainly afforded dimethoxide 6 instead of 5, whose aromatization with DDQ and substitution reaction of dibromide 7 with NaOMe in the presence of CuI also gave rise to dimethoxide 6. Several 6,8-disubstituted quinolines were obtained by treatment of 6,8-dibromoquinoline (7) with n -BuLi followed by trapping with an electrophile [Si(Me) 3 Cl, S 2 (Me) 2, and DMF]. Furthermore, 7 was also converted to mono and dicyano derivatives. The anticancer activities of compounds 2, 7, 6, 12, 13, 15, and 16 against HeLa, HT29, and C6 tumor cell lines were tested, and 6,8-dibromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (2) and 6,8-dimethoxyquinoline (6) showed significant anticancer activities against the tumor cell lines.

Base-promoted isomerisation of acetylene 12 provided allene 11 in a yield of 80%. 1-(Pentafluorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ol 2 was prepared from phenylacetylene and pentafluorobenzaldehyde. The condensation of nicotinaldehyde with trimethylsilylacetylene gave the 3-(trimethylsilyl)-1-(pyridine-3-yl)prop-2-yn-1-ol 7. The removal of the silyl group of 7 to acetylene 8 was done in basic conditions. The Pd catalysed condensation of the acetylene 8 with iodobenzene gave 3-phenyl-1-(pyridine-3-yl)prop-2-yn-1-ol 9. The Pd catalysed condensation of 8 with 3-bromopyridine gave the 1,3-dipyridin-3-yl-prop-2-yn-1-ol 14. The propargylic alcohols 2, 9 and 14 were converted to the acetates 3, 10 and 15 with acetic anhydride-pyridine.

One-pot synthesis is described for synthetically valuable 4,6,8-tribromoquinoline (3) and 6,8dibromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (6) on bromination of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (7) in efficient yields (75 and 90%, respectively). 6-Bromo-(4) and 6,8-dibromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (6) were converted to 6-bromo-(1) and 6,8-dibromo quinolines (2), respectively, by aromatization with DDQ in 83 and 77% yields, respectively. Several novel trisubstituted quinoline derivatives were efficiently prepared via lithium-halogen exchange reactions of tribromide 3. Treatment of 4,6,8-tribromoquinoline with BuLi followed by quenching with electrophiles [Si(CH 3 ) 3 Cl, S 2 (CH 3 ) 2 , I 2 ] regioselectively proceeded at C-4 and C-8 sites and afforded corresponding 4,8-disubstituted-6-bromoquinolines. Similarly, lithiation of tribromide 3 followed by addition of water to the intermediate produced 6-bromoquinoline in 65% yield. Copper-induced nucleophilic substitution of tribromide 3 with NaOMe afforded 4,6,8-trimethoxyquinoline (17) in 60% yield. 1 8.90 d 7.44 dd 8.10 d 7.90 s 7.80 dd 8.00 d J 34 ¼8.3 J 23 ¼2.6 J 78 ¼9.2 J 57 ¼2.2 2 9.04 dd 7.49 dd 8.09 dd 7.96 d 8.16 d d J 23 ¼4.2 J 24 ¼1.6 J 57 ¼2.4 J 34 ¼8.3 3 8.99 d 8.20 d d 8.14 d 7.86 d d J 57 ¼2.2 J 23 ¼2.2 13 8.99 d 8.14 d d 7.96 d 7.86 d d J 23 ¼1.5, J 57 ¼2.1 Silyl d 0.39 s, 0.45 s 14 8.76 d 8.20 d d 7.60 d 7.79 d d J 23 ¼3.0, J 57 ¼2.0 SCH 3 d 3.07, 3.05 15 9.05 d 8.40 d d 8.35 d 7.80 d d J 57 ¼2.7 J 23 ¼2.0 16 9.00 dd 7.42 dd 8.00 dd 7.95d 8.40 d d J 57 ¼2.6 J 23 ¼4.2 J 34 ¼8.3 J 24 ¼1.6 17 8.40 d 7.18 d d 6.40 d 6.50 d d J 23 ¼2.7, J 57 ¼2.4 OMe 4 3.80 s 3.40 t 1.91 p 2.71 t 7.10 s d 6.32 d 7.05 d J 78 ¼8.3 J 32 ¼5.8 5 3.60 s 3.40 t 1.92 p 2.75 d 7.17 d 6.40 t 6.96 d d J 56 ¼7.8 J 67 ¼7.8 J 32 ¼5.8 J 43 ¼6.3 6 4.43 s 3.34 t 1.92 p 2.73 t 7.31 d d 6.96 d d J 57 ¼1.6 J 32 ¼5.8 J 43 ¼6.3

Aerial parts of the plant material were dried and extracted with hexanedichloromethane (extract 1), ethyl acetate -dichloromethane (extract 2) and methanoldichloromethane (extract 3) in a ratio of 1:1 at rt successively. The solvents were evaporated to give crude extracts. Extract 1 was suspended in water at 608C then partitioned successively with hexane and ethyl acetate to give hexane and ethyl acetate portions. After the column chromatography (silica gel) of ethyl acetate extract, one new and four known compounds were isolated. The new compound was named as 1 (12S,18R)-15,16-epoxy-2b,6b-dihydroxy-neo-cleroda-13(16),14-dien-20,l2-olide-l8, l9-hemiacetal (teuchamaedryn D) (4). The known compounds were teucrin A (1), dihydroteugin (2), teucroxide (3), syspirensin A (5). The chromatographic methods were also applied for extract 3 to isolate verbascoside (6) and teucrioside . The structure of isolated compounds was elucidated by spectroscopic methods including LC-TOF/MS, 1D NMR and 2D NMR.

While copper-promoted substitution of 6,8dibromide 2 produced monomethoxides 3 and 4, a prolonged reaction time mainly afforded dimethoxide 6 instead of 5, whose aromatization with DDQ and substitution reaction of dibromide 7 with NaOMe in the presence of CuI also gave rise to dimethoxide 6. Several 6,8-disubstituted quinolines were obtained by treatment of 6,8-dibromoquinoline (7) with n -BuLi followed by trapping with an electrophile [Si(Me) 3 Cl, S 2 (Me) 2, and DMF]. Furthermore, 7 was also converted to mono and dicyano derivatives. The anticancer activities of compounds 2, 7, 6, 12, 13, 15, and 16 against HeLa, HT29, and C6 tumor cell lines were tested, and 6,8-dibromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (2) and 6,8-dimethoxyquinoline (6) showed significant anticancer activities against the tumor cell lines.
