A tyrosinase-directed therapeutic approach for malignant melanoma therapy uses the depigmenting phenolic agents such as 4-hydroxyanisole (4-HA) to form cytotoxic o-quinones. However, renal and hepatic toxicity was reported as side effects in a recent 4-HA clinical trial. In search of

Tyrosinase hydroxylates 3-hydroxyanisole in the 4-position. The reaction product accumulates in the reaction medium with a lag time (tau) which diminishes with increasing concentrations of enzyme and lengthens with increasing concentrations of substrate, thus fulfilling all the predictions of the

[reaction: see text] A short synthesis of (+/-)-10-norparvulenone and (+/-)-O-methylasparvenone was developed starting from commercially available m-methoxyphenol, hinging on a xanthate-mediated addition-cyclization sequence for the construction of the alpha-tetralone subunit.

The m-methoxy group is normally electron-withdrawing (EW), sigma(m) = +0.12, sigma(m+) = +0.05. The strong EW activity of a phenoxyl radical's O* atom causes the m-methoxy group to become electron-donating (ED), sigma(m)(+) = -0.14. In valence bond terms, this can

The Lewis acid catalyzed condensation of 3-methoxyphenol with octanal produced the C(4) symmetric calix[4]resorcinarene 2, in high yield. Of the numerous stereo- and regioisomers possible, the rccc isomer with C(4) symmetry was the only product isolated (as a racemate). The
