C?H/N-H cross-coupling is an ideal strategy to synthesize various amines but remains challenging owing to the requirement for sacrificial chemical oxidants and the difficulty in controlling the regio- and chemo-selectivity. Herein we report a site-selective electrochemical amination reaction that can convert benzylic C?H bonds into C-N linkages via H2 evolution without need for external oxidants or metal catalysts. The synthetic strategy involves anodic cleavage of benzylic C?H to form a carbocation intermediate, which is then trapped with an amine nucleophile leading to C?N bond formation. Key to the success is to include HFIP as a co-solvent to modulate the oxidation potentials of the alkylbenzene substrate and the aminated product to avoid overoxidation of the latter.

In the current work, we synthesized two series of dehydroabietyl amide derivatives from natural product rosin and evaluated their antifungal effects on Valsa mali, Phytophthora capsici, Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Fusarium oxysporum. In vitro and in vivo antifungal activities results indicated that rosin-based amide compounds containing thiophene heterocycles had better inhibitory effects on B. cinerea. In particular, compound 5b (5-fluoro-2-thiophene dehydroabietyl amide) exhibited the excellent antifungal properties against B. cinerea with an EC50 of 0.490 mg/L, which was lower compared to the positive control penthiopyrad (0.562 mg/L). Physiological and biochemical studies showed that the primary action mechanism of compound 5b on B. cinerea changes mycelial morphology, increases cell membrane permeability, and inhibits the TCA pathway in respiratory metabolism. Furthermore, QSAR and SAR studies revealed that charge distribution of rosin-based amides derivatives have a key role in the antifungal activity through the hydrogen bonding, conjugation, and electrostatic interaction between the compounds and the receptors of the target. To sum up, this study contributes to the development of rosin-based antifungal agents with a novel structure and preferable biological activity.
