In this work the screening of 20 unsymmetrical chalcone and curcuminoids analogues in regard of their antimicrobial properties was conducted. Electron donating groups in the aromatic rings in the chalcone and curcuminoid derivatives produced higher antimicrobial effect. Compounds 1, 9 and 15 exhibited good activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. These compounds were further evaluated against nine micro-organisms of pathological interest. Pharmmaper was used for target fishing of compounds against important bacterial targets. Molecular Docking helped to verify the results of these compounds against the selected bacterial target D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase (PDB ID: 1PW1). The crystal structure of ligand and docked conformers in the active site of 1PW1 were analyzed. As a result structure-activity relationships are proposed. Structures of compounds 14 and 16 were obtained through single crystals X-ray diffraction studies. Compound 14 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/c with unit cell dimensions a = 13.1293(3) ?, b = 17.5364(4) ?, c = 15.1433(3) ?, β = 95.6440(10), V = 3469.70(13) ?3 and Z = 8. Compound 16 crystallizes in triclinic space group Pī with unit cell dimensions a = 6.8226(4) ?, b = 7.2256(4) ?, c = 18.1235(12) ?, β = 87.322(4), V = 850.57(9) ?3 and Z = 2.
Regioselective synthesis of enones via a titanium-promoted coupling of unsymmetrical alkynes with Weinreb amides

A modular titanium-promoted coupling of unsymmetrical internal alkynes with Weinreb amides is described. The coupling reaction takes place at room temperature and affords E-trisubstituted enones in moderate to good yields with high levels of regioselectivity. The system shows moderate chemoselectivity.
Study of substituent effects in substituted dibenzal acetones

The present work involves a detailed study of the ultra-violet absorption spectra of various substituted dibenzylidene ketones derived from acetone, ethyl methyl ketone, diethyl ketone, cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone by condensing with several meta- and para-substituted benzaldehydes in n-hexane and in ethanol to ascertain the transition dominant in these solvents. These ketones exist as equilibrium mixtures of s-cis, cis and s-cis, trans conformations. The ultraviolet absorption spectra of the ketones exhibit two bands due to π* ← π transition around 250 and 320 nm. The 320 nm band is prominent in all the cases. There is no indication of π* ← n transition in any of the spectra. The 320 nm band is structureless in all the cases except those shown by the dibenzylidene ketones derived from cyclopentanone in hexane. Therefore it can be inferred that the dibenzylide ketones derived from all the ketones except those derived from cyclopentanone are non-planar.
