New Class of Algicidal Compounds and Fungicidal Activities Derived from a Chromene Amide of Amyris texana
摘要:
A chromene amide, N-[2-(2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl)ethyl]-N,3-dimethylbutanamide, was isolated from the EtOAc extract of the leaves of Amyris texana and found to have moderate antifungal activity against Colletotrichum spp. and selective algicidal activity against Planktothrix perornata, a cyanobacterium (blue-green alga) that causes musty off-flavor in farm-raised channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). To improve the selective algicidal activity and provide water solubility, a series of chromene analogues were synthesized and evaluated for algicidal activity using a 96-well microplate rapid bioassay. In addition, the chromene analogues were evaluated for antifungal and phytotoxic activities. Hydrochloride salts of a chromene amine analogue showed improved water solubility and selectivity toward P. perornata with activity comparable to that of the naturally occurring chromene amide.

Development of a mild (35 °C, no Brønsted acids) tandem Wacker oxidation-dehydrogenation of terminal olefins was accomplished using palladium(II) and hypervalentiodine co-catalysis. The reaction affords linear aryl and alkyl α,β-unsaturated ketones directly from readily available terminal olefins in good yields (average 75% per step) with excellent functional group tolerance and chemo- and stereoselectivities
使用钯 (II) 和高价碘助催化,开发了一种温和的(35 °C,无布朗斯台德酸)串联瓦克氧化-末端烯烃脱氢反应。该反应直接从易于获得的末端烯烃中得到直链芳基和烷基 α,β-不饱和酮,收率良好(每步平均 75%),具有优异的官能团耐受性以及化学和立体选择性。人们发现高价碘助催化剂对于脱氢至关重要,但作为化学计量氧化剂并不有效。
