An unprecedented deformylative coupling of salicylaldehydes to acrylates and acrylamides under Rh-catalyzed conditions is reported. These deformylative couplings afforded o-hydroxycinnamates and o-hydroxycinnamamides with broad functional group tolerance and high chemoselectivity under milder reaction conditions.

A series of cinnamic acid esters and their derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antifungal activities in vitro against four plant pathogenic fungi by using the mycelium growth rate method. Structure-activity relationship was derived also. Almost all of the compounds showed some inhibition activity on each of the fungi at 0.5 mM. Eight compounds showed the higher average activity with average EC50 values of 17.4-28.6 μg/mL for the fungi than kresoxim-methyl, a commercial fungicide standard, and ten compounds were much more active than commercial fungicide standards carbendazim against P. grisea or kresoxim-methyl against both P. grisea and Valsa Mali. Compounds C1 and C2 showed the higher activity with average EC50 values of 17.4 and 18.5 μg/mL and great potential for development of new plant antifungal agents. The structure-activity relationship analysis showed that both the substitution pattern of the phenyl ring and the alkyl group in the alcohol moiety significantly influences the activity. There exists complexly comprehensive effect between the substituents on the phenyl ring and the alkyl group in the alcohol moiety on the activity. Thus, cinnamic acid esters showed great potential the development of new antifungal agents for plant protection due to high activity, natural compounds or natural compound framework, simple structure, easy preparation, low-cost and environmentally friendly.

Cyclic peptide yunnanin C isolated from the root of Stellaria yunnanensis was efficiently synthesized in which the linear peptide was prepared by Boc-SPPS and the cyclization was realized by serine/threonine ligation (STL)-mediated cyclization. In addition, nine yunnanin C analogues, including mutations of Tyr7Gly, Tyr7Val, Tyr7Pro, Tyr7Phe, Ser1Thr, Pro2Val, Gly5Pro, Phe6Ala and Ile4Ala, were prepared in the same fashion. Here, we demonstrated that STL-mediated peptide cyclization could be an effective approach to construct cyclic peptides. Except that proline at the C-terminus could retard the cyclization process, cyclization of yunnanin C analogues with various C-terminal amino acids proceeded with fast cyclization rate (a working concentration of 5 mM.
