Semisynthetic Phenol Derivatives Obtained from Natural Phenols: Antimicrobial Activity and Molecular Properties

Semisynthetic phenol derivatives were obtained from the natural phenols: thymol, carvacrol, eugenol, and guaiacol through catalytic oxychlorination, Williamson synthesis, and aromatic Claisen rearrangement. The compounds characterization was carried out by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry. The natural phenols and their semisynthetic derivatives were tested for their antimicrobial activity against the bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Listeria innocua, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica Typhimurium, Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica, and Bacillus cereus. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were determined using concentrations from 220 to 3.44 μg mL-1. Most of the tested compounds presented MIC values ≤220 μg mL-1 for all the bacteria used in the assays. The molecular properties of the compounds were computed with the PM6 method. Through principle components analysis, the natural phenols and their semisynthetic derivatives with higher antimicrobial potential were grouped.

Method for synthesizing eugenol

A method for synthesizing eugenol comprises the steps that firstly, guaiacol, lithium chloride and a catalytic amount of copper chloride are dissolved in glacial acetic acid, bubbling is conducted, oxygen is introduced for a reaction, and 4-chloro-2-methoxyphenol is obtained; then, 4-chloro-2-methoxyphenol reacts with alkyl halide alkyl ether in the presence of alkali to obtain 4-chloro-2-methoxy-1-alkoxy alkylphenol; 4-chloro-2-methoxy-1-alkoxy alkylphenol reacts with allyl magnesium halide in an ether solution to obtain 4-allyl-2-methoxy-1-alkoxy alkylphenol; and finally, 4-allyl-2-methoxy-1-alkoxy alkylphenol and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate react in an organic solvent, and after the organic solvent is removed, residues obtained are subjected to high vacuum distillation to obtainthe eugenol product. According to the method, the problems that in the prior art, guaiacol directly reacts with 3-chloropropene to easily generate ortho-isomers difficult to separate, and the yield ofthe para-product eugenol is low are successfully solved, the quality of the eugenol product is improved, and the yield of eugenol is increased to 70% or above.

Directed Structural Transformations of Coordination Polymers Supported Single-Site Cu(II) Catalysts to Control the Site Selectivity of C-H Halogenation

A main difficulty in C-H bond functionalization is to undertake the catalyst control accurately where the reaction takes place. In this work, to achieve highly effective and regioselective single-site catalysts, a three-dimensional (3D) rhombus-like framework of {[Mn(Hidbt)DMF]·H2O}n (1) [H3idbt = 5,5′-(1H-imidazole-4,5-diyl)-bis(2H-tetrazole)] containing coordinated DMF molecules was constructed. For the dissolution-recrystallization structural transformation process, attractive structural transformations proceeded from 1 to a new crystalline species formulated as {[Mn3(idbt)2(H2O)2]·3H2O}n (2) with a 3D windowlike architecture, and then the Mn ions in 2 could be exchanged with Cu ions through cation exchange in a single-crystal to single-crystal fashion to produce the Cu-exchanged product {[Mn2Cu(idbt)2(H2O)2]·3H2O}n (2a), which had a windowlike framework like that of 2. Furthermore, 2 and 2a were used as heterogeneous catalysts for the regioselective C-H halogenation of phenols with N-halosuccinimides (NCS and NBS) to produce the site selective single monohalogenated products. It was found that the catalytic activity and site selectivity of 2a were much higher than those of 2, because the unique structural features of 2a with the uniformly dispersed CuII active centers served as a single-site catalyst with a site-isolated and well-defined platform to promote the C-H halogenation reaction in regiocontrol and guide an orientation that favored the para selectivity during the reaction process.

Highly Selective Synthesis of Chlorophenols under Microwave Irradiation

Oxychlorination of various phenols is finished in 60 minutes with high efficiency and perfect selectivity under microwave irradiation. These reactions adopt copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) as the catalyst and hydrochloric acid as chlorine source instead of expensive and toxic ones. Oxychlorination of phenols substituted with electron donating groups (methyl, methoxyl, isopropyl, etc.) at ortho- and meta-positions is accomplished with higher conversion rates, lower reaction time, and excellent selectivity. A proposed reaction mechanism is deduced; one electron transfers from CuCl2 to phenol followed by the formation of tautomeric radical that can be rapidly captured by chlorine atom and converts into para-substituted product.

The Catalyst-Controlled Regiodivergent Chlorination of Phenols

Different catalysts are demonstrated to overcome or augment a substrate's innate regioselectivity. Nagasawa's bis-thiourea catalyst was found to overcome the innate para-selectivity of electrophilic phenol chlorination, yielding ortho-chlorinated phenols that are not readily obtainable via canonical electrophilic chlorinations. Conversely, a phosphine sulfide derived from 2,2′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (BINAP) was found to enhance the innate para-preference of phenol chlorination.
