The conversion of carboxylic acids, such as acrylic acids, to amines is a transformation that remains challenging in synthetic organic chemistry. Despite the ubiquity of similar moieties in natural metabolic pathways, biocatalytic routes seem to have been overlooked for this purpose. Herein we present the conception and optimisation of a two-enzyme system, allowing the synthesis of β-phenylethylamine derivatives from readily-available ring-substituted cinnamic acids. After characterisation of both parts of the reaction in a two-step approach, a set of conditions allowing the one-pot biotransformation was optimised. This combination of a reversible deaminating and irreversible decarboxylating enzyme, both specific for the amino acid intermediate in tandem, represents a general method by which new strategies for the conversion of carboxylic acids to amines could be designed.
ANTIBACTERIALS AND/OR MODULATORS OF BIOFILM FORMATION AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

Paragraph 0087; 0089; 0091, (2017/04/11)
Amides substituted with aromatic groups were synthesized and some were purified to create enantiomer pure compounds. The compounds were tested to determine their ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria and the formation of biofilms created by bacteria. Some of these compounds were found to be effective antibacterials and to effectively inhibit the formation of biofilms.
An improved "one-pot" procedure for synthesis of fluorinated DL-phenylalanines

DL-arylalanines were synthesized from corresponding aromatic aldehydes by an efficient "one-pot" procedure involving Erlenmeyer reaction and subsequent reduction of the resulting oxazolones (without prior isolation) using P/HI.
