A copper-based photocatalyst, Cu(tmp)(BINAP)BF4, was found to be active in a photoredox Appel-type conversion of alcohols to bromides. The catalyst was identified from a screening of 50 complexes and promoted the transformation of primary and secondary alcohols to their corresponding bromides and carboxylic acids to their anhydrides. The protocol was also amendable and optimized under continuous flow conditions.

Page/Page column 71-72, (2009/07/18)
The present invention relates to the use of compounds as broad spectrum inhibitors of bacterial biofilm formation. In particular the invention refers to a family of compounds that block the quorum sensing system of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, a process for their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use for the treatment and prevention of bacterial damages and diseases, in particular for diseases where there is an advantage in inhibiting quorum sensing regulated phenotypes of pathogens.
Identification and biosynthesis of (E,E) -10,12-Tetradecadienyl acetate in spodoptera littoralis female sex pheromone gland

A miner component of the sex pheromone gland of the Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis, has been identified as (E,E)-10,12-tetradecadienyl acetate. Structural elucidation has been carried out by isobutane-chemical ionization mass spectrometry of the fatty acyl biosynthetic precursor-derived methyl ester. To assign the stereochemistry of the double bonds, the four isomers of both 10,12-tetradecadienyl acetates and methyl 10,12-tetradecadienoates have been synthesized and their gas chromatography retention times and mass spectra have been compared to those of the corresponding natural compounds. Mass-labeling experiments showed that the (E,E)-10,12-tetradecadienoyl moiety is biosynthetically derived from (Z)-11-tetradecenoic acid in the insect pheromone gland.
