Formation of radical fragments from even-electron ions is an exception to the "even-electron rule". In this work, ferulic acid (FA) and isoferulic acid (IFA) were used as the model compounds to probe the fragmentation mechanisms and the isomeric effects o
Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of ferulate esters

Four commercially available esterases were screened for their ability to esterify ferulic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methoxy cinnamate). Novozym 435 was found to be the only one of those screened to convert ferulic acid to ethyl and octyl ferulate at 20 and 14% yields, respectively. The highest percentage conversion was obtained using a 1:1 mole ratio of alcohol to ferulic acid in stirred batch reactions in anhydrous 2-methyl-2-propanol at 60 °C using one equivalent (wt/wt based on ferulic acid) of Novozym 435. Increased water content and a higher alcohol/ethyl ferulate ratio had adverse effects on the lipase-catalyzed esterification. The Novozym 435 activity was tested in less polar solvents (anhydrous toluene and hexane) by monitoring the alcoholysis of ethyl ferulate with 1-octanol, which resulted in a 50% yield of octyl ferulate. The alcoholysis was improved to 83% by applying a 16 mm Hg vacuum for 5 min every 24 h to remove the ethanol co-product. The optimal alcoholysis parameters were applied to the alcoholysis of ethyl ferulate with monoolein and the transesterification with triolein. The transesterification of ethyl ferulate with triolein in anhydrous toluene produced a combined 44% yield of ferulyl monoolein and ferulyl diolein, a 20% greater yield than that obtained for alcoholysis using monoolein. The highest yield, 77%, of ferulyl monoolein and ferulyl diolein was achieved using a threefold excess of neat triolein. The lipase-catalyzed transesterification of ethyl ferulate with triolein appears to be a technically feasible route to ferulyl-substituted acylglycerols, which are potentially useful sunscreen ingredients.

We report the [Ru(p-cymene)(l-proline)Cl] ([Ru1])-catalyzed cyclization of 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones to form dihydroquinoline-2-ones in excellent yields with excellent regioselectivity via a formal intramolecular arene C(sp2)-H amidation. The reactions of the 2- and 4-substituted aryl dioxazolones proceeds initially through spirolactamization via electrophilic amidation at the arene site, which is para or ortho to the substituent. A Hammett correlation study showed that the spirolactamization is likely to occur by electrophilic nitrenoid attack at the arene, which is characterized by a negative ρ value of -0.73.

Paragraph 0066-0067; 0068; 0075, (2020/05/06)
A method for producing a cinnamic acid ester derivative includes reacting a cinnamic acid derivative compound represented by the formula (1), wherein the symbols are as defined in the description, with an alcohol compound represented by the formula: R6OH, wherein the symbol is as defined in the description, in the presence of a strong acid resin catalyst without using a solvent. As the cinnamic acid derivative compound, cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, and caffeic acid are preferred, and as the alcohol compound, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, ethylene glycol, glycerol, phenethyl alcohol, and a monosaccharide are preferred.

Purpose: This study aimed to synthesize twin drugs from cinnamic acid compounds, caffeic acid (CFA) and ferulic acid (FLA), which can antagonize endothelin-1 (ET-1) with telmisartan through ester bonds. Moreover, the antihypertensive effect of telmisartan and its influence on blood pressure variability (BPV) were enhanced, and the bioavailability of caffeic acid and ferulic acid was improved. Methods: Six twin drugs, which were the target compounds, were synthesized. Hypertensive rats (SHR) and conscious sinoaortic-denervated (SAD) rats were spontaneously used as models for pharmacodynamic research to study the antihypertensive efficacy of these twin drugs. Wistar rats were employed as pharmacokinetic research models to investigate the pharmacokinetics of the target compounds via intragastric administration. Cellular pharmacodynamic research was also conducted on the antagonistic action on Ang II-AT1, ETA and ETB receptor. Results: Compound 1a was determined as the best antihypertensive twin drug and thus was further studied for its effect on BPV. Compared with that of telmisartan, the antihypertensive effect of compound 1a was improved (p50 of Lps-2 was still two orders of magnitude higher than that of the positive drug telmisartan. Hence, the twin drugs worked by metabolizing and regenerating telmisartan and caffeic acid or ferulic acid in the body. Conclusion: The synthesized twin drugs improved telmisartan’s antihypertensive effects, significantly decreased BPV in SAD rats and increased the bioavailability of caffeic acid and ferulic acid. This study serves as a basis for the development of new angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) in the future and a reference for the development of new drugs to antagonize ET-1.
