Based on modification of separate structural features of the Vibrio cholerae quorum sensing signal, (S)-3-hydroxytridecan-4-one (CAI-1), three focused compound libraries have been synthesized and evaluated for biological activity. Modifications to the acyl tail and α-hydroxy ketone typically provided agonists with activities correlated to tail length and conservative changes to the hydroxy ketone. Among the molecules identified within this collection of agonists is Am-CAI-1 (B11), which is among the most potent agonists reported to date with an EC50 of 0.21 μM. Modifications to the ethyl side chain delivered molecules with both agonist and antagonist activity, including m-OH-Ph-CAI-1 (C13) which is the most potent antagonist reported to date with an IC50 of 36 μM. The molecules described in this manuscript are anticipated to serve as valuable tools in the study of quorum sensing in Vibrio cholerae and provide new leads in the development of an antivirulence therapy against this human pathogen.
Propargylic oxidations catalyzed by dirhodium caprolactamate in water: Efficient access to α,β-acetylenic ketones

(Chemical Equation Presented) Dirhodium(II) caprolactamate (1, Rh 2(cap)4) with 70% w/w aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide (T-HYDRO) is a highly effective catalytic oxidation protocol for the selective C-H oxidation of alkynes to propargylic ketones. The oxidation occurs readily in aqueous solvent under mild conditions with an inexpensive and easily handled oxidant. α,β-Acetylenic carbonyl compounds are formed in up to 80% isolated yield.

Metameric undecan-x-ones (x = 2-6), dodecan-y-ones (y = 2-5), tridecan-z-ones (z = 4-7) and two unsaturated aliphatic ketones were prepared by vapor phase ketonisation of the appropriate monocarboxylic acids in the presence of 20 wt% MnO2/Al2O3 catalyst under flow conditions. The ketones were obtained in yields between 48 and 89% in a multigram scale (80-250 g). Their physical and spectral data have been determined.
Addition of organocerium reagents to morpholine amides: synthesis of important pheromone components of Achaea janata.

Readily preparable morpholine amides hitch in good yields with organocerium reagents to produce ketones. Even in the presence of substrates and reagents with high steric hindrance, the organometallic compounds prepared from dry cerium(III) chloride and organomagnesium or organolithium compounds at -78 degrees C add cleanly to morpholine amides. The low cost of starting materials makes this new scheme of synthesis very interesting for the preparation of biologically important pheromones.
Copper-catalysed aerobic oxidation of alcohols using fluorous biphasic catalysis
Ragagnin, Gianna,Betzemeier, Bodo,Quici, Silvio,Knochel, Paul
, p. 3985 - 3991 (2007/10/03)
A copper(I) catalysed and TEMPO mediated fluorous biphasic oxidation of primary, secondary, allylic and benzylic alcohols with oxygen in the presence of a bipyridine ligand bearing perfluorinated ponytails is described. High chemoselectivities are observed in the oxidation of substituted cyclohexanols (substituted axial cyclohexanols react 6-8 times faster than the corresponding equatorial cyclohexanols).
Catalytic radical addition of ketones to alkenes by a metal-dioxygen redox system

, p. 2317 - 2318 (2007/10/03)
Radical addition of ketones to alkenes catalyzed by Mn(OAc)2 combined with Co(OAc)2 using dioxygen as oxidant was developed; for instance, the reaction of cyclohexanone with oct-1-ene in the presence of very small amounts of Mn(OAc)2 and Co(OAc)2 under air (1 atm) gave 2-octylcyclohexanone in good selectivity; from styrene, a six-membered cyclic peroxide was isolated in good yield.
Copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols under fluorous biphasic conditions
Betzemeier, Bodo,Cavazzini, Marco,Quici, Silvio,Knochel, Paul
, p. 4343 - 4346 (2007/10/03)
A catalytic amount of perfluoroalkyl substituted bipyridine 1 (2 mol%), CuBr·Me2S (2 mol%) and TEMPO (3.5 mol%) allow the oxidation of various alcohols to aldehydes and ketones in a fluorous biphasic system of chlorobenzene and perfluorooctane directly with oxygen. The catalyst can be used for several reaction runs without a loss of reactivity. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Reaction of α-Silyl Esters with Grignard Reagents: A Synthesis of β-Keto Silanes and Ketones. Preparation of the Douglas Fir Tussock Moth Pheromone

A variety of α-diphenylmethylsilyl esters have been prepared and reacted with Grignard reagents.The reaction is relatively slow in refluxing THF and can be controlled to allow the addition of 1 equiv of the Grignard reagent, providing the corresponding β-keto silane.Protiodesilylation of the β-keto silane results in the overall conversion of an ester to a ketone.This ester to ketone methodology has been applied to a two-step synthesis of the pheromone of the Douglas fir tussock moth.The β-keto silanes are viable precursors to regioselectively generated enol silyl ethers.The reaction of ethyl 2-methyl-2-(diphenylmethylsilyl)propionate with vinylmagnesium bromide or 2-methyl 1-propenylmagnesium bromide results in the addition of 2 equiv of the Grignard reagent, the second in a Michael fashion.
