A general and practical synthesis of (E)‐α,β‐unsaturated esters and ketones was achieved by the reaction of carbonyl compounds with ethyl‐4,4,4‐trifluoroacetoacetate and trifluoro‐substituted 1,3‐diketones in the presence of piperidine in dichloromethane at room temperature (≈40 °C) with excellent stereoselectivity (see scheme).

Series of 2-chloronicotinaldehyde Knoevenagel derivatives 3a-r; (E)-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters and ketones 5a-k were prepared and evaluated for their in vitro anti-mycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv (Mtb). Compounds 3e, 5b, 5d, 5e, 5g and 5i-k were shown potent to significant activity. Compound 5j is the most potent Mtb inhibitor (MIC: 4.89 mu M) when compared to standard drugs Ethambutol (MIC: 7.63 mu M) and Ciprofloxacin (MIC: 9.44 mu M). Eight compounds displayed potent/significant activity against M. tuberculosis were chosen for the cytotoxicity against three cell lines (Raw 264.7, MCF7, and HeLa). Compound 5j displayed low toxicity with high selective index (15-30) and is an interesting new compound may serve for the development of therapeutics targeted against anti-mycobacterial compounds. This is the first report assigning in vitro anti-mycobacterial inhibitory activity and structure-activity relationship for this class of substituted 2-chloronicotinaldehyde derivatives and presents new family of compounds.
