A general method for the preparation of (E) terminal conjugated dienes was developed by the flash thermolysis of 2-substituted 2,5-dihydrothiophene-1,1-dioxides generated by a retro Diels–Alder reaction. This process allows the obtention of conjugated dienes, bearing or not a functionality (alcohols, esters), with an excellent stereoisomeric purity (in general higher than 98%). An application to the synthesis of (E)-9,11-dodecadien-1-yl acetate, the major component of the sex pheromone of Diparopsiscastanea, shows the generality and the efficacy of this method.

The aldol condensation of 2-acetylnaphthalene with 9-anthracene carboxaldehyde afforded α, β-unsaturated keton (1) . New heterocyclic compounds containing: cyclohexenone[2], indazole[3], pyrimidinethion [4], thiazolo fused pyrimidine[5], isoxazoline[6], substituted pyrazoline[7]a-d and pyrimidinone[8] rings system were synthesized from α, β-unsaturated keton[1]. Cyclization of [1] with ethylacetoacetate gave the mentioned heterocycle cyclohexanone [2]. The cyclo condensation of [2] with hydrazine gave the new indazole derivative [3]. furthermore, the reation of [1]with thiourea gives thiopyrmidine derivative [4]. The cyclo condensation of [4] with chloroacetic acid gave the fused rings [5]. Then reacted compound[1] with hydroxylamine to produce isoxazoline [6]. Also the reaction of [1]with hydrazine and hydrazide derivatives to produce pyrazole [7]a-d. All the newly synthesized derivatives[2-7a-d] were characterized via the CHN-S, FT- IR, 1H NMR, and13C NMR (of some of theme). The antibacterial and cytotoxic activities were evaluated for these derivatives[2-7a-d] . The study of antibacterial displayed good to moderate activity and the study of anticancer activity showed that were effective for inhibition of L20 B the mice intestines carcinoma cell line and RD human pelvic rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. Treated.
