Bacterial communication, termed Quorum Sensing (QS), is a promising target for virulence attenuation and the treatment of bacterial infections. Infections cause inflammation, a process regulated by a number of cellular factors, including the transcription Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB); this factor is found to be upregulated in many inflammatory diseases, including those induced by bacterial infection. In this study, we tested 32 synthetic derivatives of coumaperine (CP), a known natural compound found in pepper (Piper nigrum), for Quorum Sensing Inhibition (QSI) and NF-κB inhibitory activities. Of the compounds tested, seven were found to have high QSI activity, three inhibited bacterial growth and five inhibited NF-κB. In addition, some of the CP compounds were active in more than one test. For example, compounds CP-286, CP-215 and CP-158 were not cytotoxic, inhibited NF-κB activation and QS but did not show antibacterial activity. CP-154 inhibited QS, decreased NF-κB activation and inhibited bacterial growth. Our results indicate that these synthetic molecules may provide a basis for further development of novel therapeutic agents against bacterial infections.
Semireduction of alkynoic acids via a transition metal-free α borylation-protodeborylation sequence

A method for the semi-reduction of alkynoic acids through an α-borylation and subsequent protodeborylation mechanism has been developed. The transition metal-free protocol is achieved through the activation of bis(pinacolato)diboron by an in situ generated carboxylate moiety yielding aryl acrylic acids. Our studies demonstrate an unprecedented dual role for the carboxylate anion that involves the activation of the diboron reagent and a directing effect in the α-borylation.
Allyl-Palladium-Catalyzed α,β-Dehydrogenation of Carboxylic Acids via Enediolates

supporting information, p. 13122 - 13125 (2017/09/13)
A highly practical and step-economic α,β-dehydrogenation of carboxylic acids via enediolates is reported through the use of allyl-palladium catalysis. Dianions underwent smooth dehydrogenation when generated using Zn(TMP)2?2 LiCl as a base in the presence of excess ZnCl2, thus avoiding the typical decarboxylation pathway of these substrates. Direct access to 2-enoic acids allows derivatization by numerous approaches.

Chiral Lewis acid mediated 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of 4-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile oxide to methyl crotonate as well to β-substituted acrylates and (Z)-pent-2-en-1-yl esters were examined. Excellent enantioselectivities with moderate to good regioselectivities were achieved for crotonates with complexes of BiBr3 with (+)-(4,6-benzylidene)methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside C, with the l-ascorbic acid I-FeCl3 system, and with lipase Candida antarctica. High enantiomeric excess was observed for isopropyl ester and benzyl ester. The outstanding ee values were achieved for acrylates with β-t-butyl, cyclohexyl, and 1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl groups in cycloadditions catalyzed by C-Yb(OTf)3 and the (+)-2-hydroxy-3-pinanone N-TiCl4 system. High enantioselectivities were found in reactions of (Z)-pent-2-en-1-yl esters mediated by complexes N-Mg(OTf)2 and N-TiCl4.

1-O-cis-cinnamoyl-β-d-glucopyranose is one of the most potent allelochemicals isolated from Spiraea thunbergii Sieb. It is suggested that it derives its strong inhibitory activity from cis-cinnamic acid, which is crucial for phytotoxicity. It was synthesized to confirm its structure and bioactivity, and also a series of cis-cinnamic acid analogues were prepared to elucidate the key features of cis-cinnamic acid for lettuce root growth inhibition. The cis-cyclopropyl analogue showed potent inhibitory activity while the saturated and alkyne analogues proved to be inactive, demonstrating the importance of the cis-double bond. Moreover, the aromatic ring could not be replaced with a saturated ring. However, the 1,3-dienylcyclohexene analogue showed strong activity. These results suggest that the geometry of the C-C double bond between the carboxyl group and the aromatic ring is essential for potent inhibitory activity. In addition, using several light sources, the photostability of the cinnamic acid derivatives and the role of the C-C double bond were also investigated.

A combination of regioselective room-temperature/ambient-pressure hydroformylation (transitionmetal catalysis) and decarboxylative Knoevenagel reactions (organocatalysis) allowed for the development of an efficient, one-pot C3 homologation of terminal alkenes to (E)-α,β-unsaturated acids and esters, (E)-β,γ-unsaturated acids, (E)-α-cyano acrylic acids, and α,β-unsaturated nitriles. All reactions proceed under mild conditions, tolerate a variety of functional groups, and furnish unsaturated carbonyl compounds in good yields and with excellent regioand stereocontrol. Further, an iterative C2 homologation of (E)-α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids is possible through a combination of decarboxylative hydroformylation employing a supramolecular catalyst followed by decarboxylative Knoevenagel condensation with an organocatalyst.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Head 'em up, move 'em out, aldehyde! A catalytic transformation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids into aldehydes through a hydroformylation-decarboxylation process has been developed (see scheme; Do = donor ligand, FG1 and FG2 = complementary functional groups). The reaction proceeds at mild conditions, tolerates many functional groups, and liberates CO2 as the only stoichiometric by-product.
