Various reaction parameters, such as reaction time, reaction temperature, ratio of benzene to hydrogen peroxide, concentration of aqueous hydrogen peroxide, ratio of glacial acetic acid to acetonitrile in solvent and catalyst con- centration, were changed to obtain an optimal reaction conditions. H3＋nPMo12-nVnO40（n=1-3） are revealed to be highly efficient catalyst for hydroxylation of benzene. In case of H5PMo10V2O40, a conversion of benzene of 34.5% with the selectivity of phenol of 100% can be obtained at the optimal reaction conditions.展开更多

To develop a reliable and efficient synthetic route to these natural bromophenols, three of them, 3,4-dibromo-5-(2′-bromo-3′,4′- dihydroxy-6′-methoxymethyl- benzyl)-benzene-1,2-diol (compound 9), 3,4-dibromo-5-(2′-bromo-6′-ethoxy methyl-3′,4′-dihydroxybenzyl)- benzene-1,2-diol (compound 10), and 3-bromo-4-(3′-bromo-4′,5′-dihydroxy benzyl)-5-(ethoxymethyl)- benzene-1,2-diol (compound 14), isolated from red marine algae, have been synthesized in eight steps with an overall yield of 14.4%, 14.4%, and 18.2% respectively, via a practical approach employing bromination, Wolff-Kishner-Huang reduction and a Friedel-Crafts reaction as key steps. The protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activities of the synthetic compounds were evaluated by the colorimetric assay. The results show that these compounds are moderate PTP1B inhibitors. The synthesis of these bromophenol derivatives makes in vivo studies of their structure-activity relationships and inhibition activity against PTP1B possible.展开更多
