The key intermediate boronic acid 2 was synthesized via sequential reactions of Friedel-Crafts alkylation, bromination and nucleophilic reaction by using anisole as starting material. Hydroxyacetone was converted to bromide compound 3 by the Wittig reaction, bromination, Arbuzov reaction and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction. Three novel retinoid derivatives 1a1c can be obtained via the Suzuki coupling reaction of the boronic acid 2 with bromide compound 3, methyl 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzoate (4) or methyl 6-bromonicotinate (5) and followed by hydrolysis of the corresponding esters. In addition, trifluoromethyl substituted retinoid derivative 1d was synthesized via sequential reactions of Friedel-Crafts alkylation, nitration, trifluoromethylation, reduction and nucleophilic reaction with bromobenzene as strarting material. The structures of four new retinoid derivatives 1a1d were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and HRMS analyses. Furthermore, the inducing differentiation abilities of molecules 1a1d for HL-60 cells were tested, and the results revealed that these four retinoid derivatives are biological active. The IC50 values of fluorinated derivatives 1b and 1d are lower than that of commercial medicine all trans retinoid acid (ATRA).
