Design, Synthesis, and Antifungal Activity of Alkyl Gallates Against Plant Pathogenic Fungi In Vitro and In Vivo

A series of alkyl gallates was synthesized by reacting gallic acid with the corresponding alcohols. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data, including NMR and MS. The antifungal activities of these compounds against plant pathogenic fungi in vitro and in vivo were assessed.

Microwave-assisted esterification of gallic acid

An efficient synthesis of alkyl gallates under microwave irradiation was described. The reaction took place in 6-10 mins, which was much shorter than the traditional synthetic methods, with almost quantitative yields.
