title: Novel three-component synthesis and antiproliferative properties of diversely functionalized pyrrolines.
abstract: Diversely substituted 2-pyrrolines have been prepared by a novel multicomponent process involving a reaction of various N-(aryl- and alkylsulfonamido)-acetophenones with aldehydes and malononitrile. While the reaction is highly regioselective, it is not stereoselective, generating a mixture of cis and trans 2-pyrrolines. A number of analogs from both cis and trans 2-pyrroline libraries were found to have antiproliferative activity in human cancer cell lines.
