The invention comprises methods for decreasing colonization by a bacterium of a gut of a stink bug, the method comprising providing a composition comprising vanillin or an analog thereof; and delivering said composition to an egg from which the stink bug will hatch, whereby colonization by the bacterium within the gut of the stink bug hatched from the egg treated with the composition is decreased relative to a stink bug hatched from an untreated egg. In some embodiments, the decrease in colonization by the bacterium decreases the fitness of the stink bug, e.g., decreases reproductive ability, survival, rate of development, number of eggs, number of hatched eggs, adult emergence rate, body length, body width, body mass, or cuticle thickness. In some embodiments of the methods herein, the bacterial colonization-disrupting agent is an inhibitor of bacterial metabolism. In some embodiments, the bacterial colonization-disrupting agent is a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis inhibitor.
Molecular recognition. 15. Molecular recognition and stereoselectivity: geometrical requirements for the multiple hydrogen-bonding interaction of diols with a multidentate polyhydroxy macrocycle
Resorsinol-dodecanal cyclotetramer 1 in CDCl 3 forms hydrogen-bonded, 1/1 complexes with cyclohexanediols as well as with 2,4-pentane- and 2,5-hexanediol as their open-chain analogues and cyclohexanol and cis- and trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexanol. The affinities to 1 of cyclic diols are significantly larger than those of open-chain diols and monools. Those of regio- and stereoisomers of cyclohexanediol

The mechanism of Paal-Knorr reaction between a 1,4-dicarbonyl compound and ammonia or a primary amine to form a pyrrole is explored. In aprotic solvents and in aqueous solutions near neutrality, d,l diastereomers of 3,4-dimethyl- and 3,4-diethyl-2,5-hexanediones (1r and 2r) formed pyrroles 1.3-57.0 times faster than the corresponding meso diastereomers (1m and 2m). This contradicts any intermediate, such as the enamine 15, which does not remain saturated at both the 3- and 4-positions through the rate-determining step. The demonstrated stereoisomeric difference in reactivity coupled with the following results support the hemiaminal (9) as the intermediate undergoing cyclization in the rate-limiting step of the Paal-Knorr reaction: (1) The reaction rate was adversely affected by increase in the size of the alkyl substituents on the dione. (2) Racemic 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diphenyl-1,4-butanedione (3r) was more reactive toward ammonium acetate (2.2:1) and 2-aminoethanol (11.2:1) than the meso isomer (3m), ruling out the involvement of the less substituted enamine 14. (3) The relative rate of pyrrole formation of 1,4-diphenyl-1,4-butanedione (5) and its dimethoxy (6) and dinitro (7) derivatives (1:03:6) does not support cyclization of the imine (11) to the pyrrolinium ion (12). (4) The rates of reaction of 2,2,3,3-tetradeuterio-1,4-diphenyl-1,4-butanedione (5D) and perdeuterio-2,5-hexanedione (4D) were very close to those of unlabeled diketones, indicating the absence of a primary isotope effect in the reaction. (5) Neither the isomerization of the unreacted diastereomers of 1, 2, and 3 nor hydrogen exchange of 4D and 5D was detected during the reaction.
