A series of cinnamic acid esters and their derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antifungal activities in vitro against four plant pathogenic fungi by using the mycelium growth rate method. Structure-activity relationship was derived also. Almost all of the compounds showed some inhibition activity on each of the fungi at 0.5 mM. Eight compounds showed the higher average activity with average EC50 values of 17.4-28.6 μg/mL for the fungi than kresoxim-methyl, a commercial fungicide standard, and ten compounds were much more active than commercial fungicide standards carbendazim against P. grisea or kresoxim-methyl against both P. grisea and Valsa Mali. Compounds C1 and C2 showed the higher activity with average EC50 values of 17.4 and 18.5 μg/mL and great potential for development of new plant antifungal agents. The structure-activity relationship analysis showed that both the substitution pattern of the phenyl ring and the alkyl group in the alcohol moiety significantly influences the activity. There exists complexly comprehensive effect between the substituents on the phenyl ring and the alkyl group in the alcohol moiety on the activity. Thus, cinnamic acid esters showed great potential the development of new antifungal agents for plant protection due to high activity, natural compounds or natural compound framework, simple structure, easy preparation, low-cost and environmentally friendly.

Paragraph 0108, (2017/04/26)
The invention relates to the field of chemical synthesis, in particular to a preparation method of neoflavonoids. The preparation method is characterized by comprising the following steps of using substituted benzaldehyde as an initial raw material to be reacted with malonic acid to generate a substituted phenylacrylic acid compound; performing an addition reaction, an elimination reaction and the like on the substituted phenylacrylic acid compound, or performing acetylation so as to protect a phenolic hydroxyl group, then performing a bromination reaction and the elimination reaction so as to synthesize the substituted phenylpropiolic acid compound ; and using montmorillonite K-10 after being acidulated by sulfuric acid as a catalyst, enabling the substituted phenylpropiolic acid compound and a phenolic compound to perform a heating reaction so as to generate the neoflavonoids. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method of the neoflavonoids, disclosed by the invention, has the characteristics that raw materials are cheap, and easy to obtain, the operation is simple, the catalyst can be recovered for use, and the method is environmentally-friendly, the post-treatment is simple, and the production cost is low, and the method has a high popularization and application value.
One-Pot, Enantioselective Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydroazulen-6(1H)-one: A Concise Access to the Core Structure of Cephalotaxus Norditerpenes

A one-pot enantioselective synthesis of cis-substituted 2,3-dihydroazulen-6(1H)-one is described. In this cascade reaction, an organocatalyzed asymmetric Michael reaction furnishes a highly optically pure nitrobutylphenol intermediate, which is converted into an annulated tropone species by sequential oxidative dearomatization, conjugate addition, electrocyclic ring opening and nitrous acid elimination in the same reaction vessel. Both aliphatic and aromatic nitroalkenes are good substrates for the one-pot reaction, and this protocol appears to be general for various phenylpropionaldehydes as well. In the case of asymmetrically substituted phenylpropionaldehydes, the regioselectivity is likely determined by both the steric and electronic properties of the substituents. This methodology is successfully applied to the synthesis of the tricyclic core structure of Cephalotaxus norditerpenes.

This paper reported the synthesis, structure-activity relationship (SAR) and acaricidal activity in vitro against Psoroptes cuniculi, a mange mite, of 25 ethyl cinnamate derivatives. All target compounds were synthesized and elucidated by means of MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR analysis. The results showed that 24 out of 25 tested compounds at 1.0 mg/mL demonstrated acaricidal activity in varying degrees. Among them, 6, 15, 26, 27 and 30 showed significant activity with median lethal concentration values (LC50) of 89.3, 119.0, 39.2, 29.8 and 41.2 μg/mL, respectively, which were 2.1- to 8.3-fold the activity of ivermectin (LC50=247.4 μg/mL), a standard drug in the treatment of Psoroptes cuniculi. Compared with ivermectin, with a median lethal time value (LT50) of 8.9 h, 27 and 30 showed smaller LTM50 values of 7.9 and 1.3 h, respectively, whereas 6, 15 and 26 showed slightly larger LT50 values of 10.6, 11.0 and 10.4 h at 4.5 μmol/mL. SARs showed that the presence of o-NO2 or m-NO2 on the benzene ring significantly improved the activity, whereas the introduction of a hydroxy, methoxy, acetoxy, methylenedioxy, bromo or chloro group reduced the activity. (E)-Cinnamates were more effective than their (Z)-isomer. Nevertheless, the carbon-carbon double bond in the acrylic ester moiety was proven not to be essential to improve the activity of cinnamic acid esters. Thus, the results strongly indicate that cinnamate derivatives, especially their dihydro derivatives, should be promising candidates or lead compounds for the development of novel acaricides for the effective control of animal or human acariasis.
