Ring opening reactions of epoxides with aniline compounds on alumina gave corresponding β-aminoalcohols （3）. The resulting β-aminoalcohols were reacted with 2-chloroacetyl chloride to yield the desired 4-aryl-6-aryloxymethylmorpholin-3-one derivatives （5）. All compounds 5 were assayed for inhibitory activity against A549 lung cancer cell growth, and the inhibitory effect of the novel morpholin-3-ones on cell viability was dose-dependent.展开更多

The synthesis proceeds through condensation of the corresponding dinitriles with optically active 1,2-aminoalcohols, and is catalyzed by the ZnCl<SUB>2</SUB> Lewis acid at elevated temperature in a very efficient one-pot process. The cavity of calix[4](aza)crowns can encapsulate methanol molecules by O-H⋯п interaction, which has been confirmed by X-ray crystal structures and ESI-MS.展开更多
