General Description

1,7-Diiodoheptane is a chemical compound that belongs to the organic class of compounds known as iodohydrocarbons. This classification refers to aliphatic hydrocarbons that contain one or more iodine atoms. This particular chemical compound has a linear structure with iodine atoms attached at both ends, essentially making it a diiodide. Its systematic name is heptane-1,7-diyl diiodide. The molecular weight is 346.92 g/mol and it is characterized by a strong irritating odor. Its properties suggest potential applications in various fields including material science, pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis. However, caution should be exercised during its usage as it can cause irritation to skin and eyes and can also be harmful if inhaled or swallowed.

Highly Selective Radical Monoreduction of Dihalides Confined to a Dynamic Supramolecular Host

Reduction of alkyl dihalide guests (2–5 and 7) with trialkylsilanes (R3SiH) was performed in water-soluble host 1 to investigate the effects of confinement on fast radical reactions (k≥103 m?1 s?1). High selectivity (>95 %) for mono-reduced products was observed for primary and secondary dihalide guests under mild conditions. The results highlight the importance of host–guest complexation rates to modulate the product selectivity in radical reactions.

Synthesis and biological characterization of (Z)-9-heptadecenoic and (Z)-6-methyl-9-heptadecenoic acids: Fatty acids with antibiotic activity produced by Pseudozyma flocculosa

Difficulties in isolating and purifying antibiotic fatty acids from culture filtrates of Pseudozyma flocculosa, a biocontrol agent against powdery mildew, have been limiting factors in studying the properties and understanding the mode of action of the biocontrol agent. We report a new protocol for synthesizing (Z)-9-heptadecenoic and for the first time synthesis of (Z)-6-methyl-9-heptadecenoic acids, two antibiotic fatty acids produced by P. flocculosa. This allowed reproducible and quantifiable means of assaying biological activity of the molecules. In these bioassays, both molecules exhibited antifungal activity corresponding to their expected potency. These new developments should facilitate further studies aimed at deciphering the ecological properties of P. flocculosa.
