- Practical Synthesis and Field Application of the Synthetic Sex Pheromone of Rice Stem Borer, Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
-
Rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis, is a common and major serious pest of rice, maize, and wheat crops across Asia, Europe, and Oceania countries. Its sex pheromone consists of three analogously compounds, i.e., (Z)-hexadec-11-enal (1), (Z)-octadec-13-enal (2), and (Z)-hexadec-9-enal (3), as long-chain aliphatic internal cis-alkenyl aldehydes. In order to perform an economic and widespread pest control management of rice stem borer, a versatile and efficient synthetic strategy is required. A versatile and efficient synthesis using a common synthetic route for cis-alkenals with high overall yields is described. Commercially available inexpensive aliphatic diols were chosen as starting materials. Two key steps were employed to synthesize the long-chain aliphatic internal cis-alkenes in excellent yields, including the alkylation of terminal alkynes without the utilization of a highly polar aprotic cosolvent and the versatile cis-selective semihydrogenation for the reduction of internal alkynes with excellent stereoselectivity. The results of field tests showed that the synthetic sex pheromone blend was highly effective for the capture of rice stem borer.

- INSECT PHEROMONES AND THEIR ANALOGUES. XVI. PRACTICAL SYNTHESIS OF HEXADEC-9Z-ENAL - A COMPONENT OF THE SEX PHEROMONE OF THE COTTON BOLLWORM Heliothis armigera
-
A synthesis of hexadec-9Z-enal - a component of the sex pheromone of the cotton bollworm Heliothis armigera (Huebner) - based on cyclooctene (I) is proposed.Through a solution of 22 g of (I), 250 ml of cyclohexane, and 40 ml of MeOH is passed (at 5 deg C) 0.2 M O3/O2, the solution is decanted off, and the precipitated ozonide is dissolved in 200 ml of MeOH and is reduced with 19 g of NaBH4 (40 deg C) with the isolation, after the usual working up, of 23.4 g of octane-1,8-diol (II).From 0.5 mole of (II) and 0.6 mole of 45percent HBr 8-bromooctan-1-ol (III) is obtained and this is converted into 1-(2-(THPL)oxy)-8-bromooctane (IV).The condensation of (IV) with oct-1-yne (Ar, LiNH2, HMPTA, 10 deg C, 1 h, and then 55 deg C, 10 h) leads to 1-(2-THPL-oxy)hexadec-9-yne (V) the hydrolysis of which (MeOH, H2O, p-TsOH, 20 deg C for 20 h) yields hexadec-9-yn-ol (VI).The reduction of (VI) (Et2O, iso-BuMgBr, Cp2TiCl2, 0 deg C, 15 min, then 20 deg C, 1 h) yields hexadec-9Z-en-1-ol (VII).The oxidation of (VII) (PyHCrO3+ Cl-, CH2Cl2, 20 deg C, 2 h) gives hexadec-9Z-enal (VIII).Characteristics of the compounds (yield (percent), nD20(25): (II) - 80, mp 61-62 deg C; (III) - 75, 1.4807; (IV) - 99, -; (V) - 52, 1,4650; (VI) - 85, 1.4657; (VII) - 99, 1.4650; (VIII) - 98, 1.4600.Characteristics of the IR and PMR spectra of compounds (V-VII) are given.

- Use of enyne compounds in the synthesis of insect pheromones
-
A new approach has been developed to the synthesis of monogenic insect pheromones with acetogenin and macrolide structures, using the low reactivity of ozone and of 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane towards an acetylenic function as compared with a vinyl function.

- A hydroxylamine probe for profiling: S-acylated fatty acids on proteins
-
Reversible S-palmitoylation is a key regulatory mechanism of protein function and localization. There is increasing evidence that S-acylation is not restricted to palmitate but it includes shorter, longer, and unsaturated fatty acids. However, the diversity of this protein modification has not been fully explored. Herein, we report a chemical probe that combined with MS-based analysis allows the rapid detection and quantification of fatty acids linked to proteins. We have used this approach to profile the S-acylome and to show that the oncogene N-Ras is heterogeneously acylated with palmitate and palmitoleate. Studies on protein distribution in membrane subdomains with semisynthetic proteins revealed that unsaturated N-Ras presents an increased tendency toward clustering and higher insertion kinetic rate constants.

- Stereo- and chemoselective character of supported CEO2 catalysts for continuous-flow three-phase alkyne hydrogenation
-
TiO2-, Al2O3-, and ZrO2- supported CeO2 catalysts with different Ce loadings were prepared by wet impregnation of the carriers with an acidified solution of cerium ammonium nitrate. The calcined catalysts were characterized by bulk and surface-sensitive techniques, which included microcalorimetry, and evaluated in the three-phase hydrogenation of alkynes under continuous-flow conditions at variable temperature (293-413 K) and pressure (1-90 bar). A number of acetylenic compounds, which contain terminal or internal triple bonds, conjugated unsaturations, and additional functionalities, were systematically assessed. The results revealed the full stereo- and chemoselective character of the ceria catalysts, which outperform the well-known Lindlar catalyst, and open promising perspectives for the revolutionary use of a cost-effective oxide for the production of olefinic compounds in the vitamin and fine chemical industries.

- N-Acylated amino acid methyl esters from marine Roseobacter group bacteria
-
Bacteria of the Roseobacter group (Rhodobacteraceae) are important members of many marine ecosystems. Similar to other Gram-negative bacteria many roseobacters produce N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) for communication by quorum sensing systems. AHLs regulate different traits like cell differentiation or antibiotic production. Related N-acylalanine methyl esters (NAMEs) have been reported as well, but so far only from Roseovarius tolerans EL-164. While screening various roseobacters isolated from macroalgae we encountered four strains, Roseovarius sp. D12_1.68, Loktanella sp. F13, F14 and D3 that produced new derivatives and analogs of NAMEs, namely N-acyl-2-aminobutyric acid methyl esters (NABME), N-acylglycine methyl esters (NAGME), N-acylvaline methyl esters (NAVME), as well as for the first time a methyl-branched NAME, N-(13-methyltetradecanoyl)alanine methyl ester. These compounds were detected by GC–MS analysis, and structural proposals were derived from the mass spectra and by derivatization. Verification of compound structures was performed by synthesis. NABMEs, NAVMEs and NAGMEs are produced in low amounts only, making mass spectrometry the method of choice for their detection. The analysis of both EI and ESI mass spectra revealed fragmentation patterns helpful for the detection of similar compounds derived from other amino acids. Some of these compounds showed antimicrobial activity. The structural similarity of N-acylated amino acid methyl esters and similar lipophilicity to AHLs might indicate a yet unknown function as signalling compounds in the ecology of these bacteria, although their singular occurrence is in strong contrast to the common occurrence of AHLs. Obviously the structural motif is not restricted to Roseovarius spp. and occurs also in other genera.

- Enantiomeric synthesis of natural alkylglycerols and their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities
-
Alkylglycerols (AKGs) are bioactive natural compounds that vary by alkyl chain length and degree of unsaturation, and their absolute configuration is 2S. Three AKGs (5l–5n) were synthesised in enantiomerically pure form, and were characterised for the first time together with 12 other known and naturally occurring AKGs (5a–5k, 5o). Their structures were established using 1H and 13C APT NMR with 2D-NMR, ESI-MS or HRESI-MS and optical rotation data, and they were tested for their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities. AKGs 5a–5m and 5o showed activity against five clinical isolates and P. aeruginosa ATCC 15442, with MIC values in the range of 15–125 μg/mL. In addition, at half of the MIC, most of the AKGs reduced S. aureus biofilm formation in the range of 23%–99% and P. aeruginosa ATCC 15442 biofilm formation in the range of 14%–64%. The antibiofilm activity of the AKGs assessed in this work had not previously been studied.

Non-2-yn-1-ol (III) on treatment with PBr3/pyridine furnishes the bromide (IV) which reacts with ethylmonosodiomalonate to yield the diester (V).Decarbethoxylation of V followed by LAH reduction of the resultant ester (VI) gives the alcohol (VII) which on hydrogenation over Lindlar's catalyst furnishes undec-4(Z)-en-1-ol (VIII).The alcohol (III) when hydrogenated catalytically provides non-2(Z)-en-1-ol (IX).Reactions of VIII and IX with PBr3/pyridine yield the corresponding bromides (X) and (XI) which on coupling with the Grignard reagent (XII), prepared from 5-bromo-1-tetrahydropyranyloxypentane, in the presence of Li2CuCl4, followed byhydrolysis, furnish the alcohols (XIII) and (XIV), respectively.Acetylation of XIII and XIV provides the title acetates (I) and (II), respectively.
