We have developed an efficient photocatalytic synthesis of coumarin derivativesviaa tandem double bond isomerization/oxidative cyclization of cinnamic acids. Inexpensive and stable xanthone was used as the photocatalyst, and readily available Selectfluor was used as the oxidant. This method tolerates a wide range of functional groups and offers excellent chemical yields in general. Besides, the photocatalytic oxidative cyclization of cinnamic acid esters gives dimerized lignan-type products.

Cinnamic acid and its derivatives are known for anti-tubercular activity. The present study reports the synthesis of cinnamic acid derivatives via bioisosteric replacement of terminal carboxylic acid with “oxadiazole”. A series of cinnamic acid derivatives (styryl oxadiazoles) were designed and synthesized in good yields by reaction of substituted cinnamic acids (2, 15a-15s) with amidoximes. The synthesized styryl oxadiazoles were evaluated in vitro for anti-tubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Ra strain. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) study has identified several compounds with mixed anti-tubercular profiles. The compound 32 displayed potent anti-tubercular activity (IC50 = 0.045 μg/mL). Molecular docking studies on mycobacterial enoyl-ACP reductase enzyme corroborated well with the experimental findings providing a platform for structure based hit-to-lead development.

Paragraph 0154-0156, (2019/10/22)
The invention provides a cinnamic acid derivative. The cinnamic acid derivative is of the structure as shown in the formula I. The invention also provides two methods for preparing the cinnamic acid derivative. The two methods depend on a single bond or double bonds in the structure shown in the formula I. The invention further provides a pesticide. The pesticide comprises the cinnamic acid derivative. In addition, the invention provides a sterilization method. The sterilization method includes the step of applying the cinnamic acid derivative or the pesticide to crops. The crops include rice,wheat, fruit trees and vegetables. The low-toxicity, low-residue-content and high-activity environment-friendly cinnamic acid derivative is developed, and the cinnamic acid derivative pesticide can replace traditional high-toxicity and high-residue-content pesticides.
Telescopic one-pot condensation-hydroamination strategy for the synthesis of optically pure L-phenylalanines from benzaldehydes
Parmeggiani, Fabio,Ahmed, Syed T.,Weise, Nicholas J.,Turner, Nicholas J.
, p. 7256 - 7262 (2016/10/26)
A chemo-enzymatic telescopic approach was designed for the synthesis of L-arylalanines in high yield and optical purity, starting from commercially available and inexpensive substituted benzaldehydes. The method exploits a chemical Knoevenagel–Doebner condensation (optimised to give complete conversions in a short reaction time, employing microwave irradiation) and a biocatalytic phenylalanine ammonia lyase mediated hydroamination (for the stereoselective addition of ammonia). The two reactions can be run sequentially in one pot, bringing together the advantages of chemical and biological catalysis. The preparative applicability was demonstrated with the synthesis of five L-dihalophenylalanines (71–84% yield, 98–99% ee) of relevance as molecular probes, for medicinal chemistry and for the synthesis of pharmaceutical ingredients.

Zhu, Lingjian,Lei, Ning,Miao, Zhenyuan,Sheng, Chunquan,Zhuang, Chunlin,Yao, Jianzhong,Zhang, Wannian
experimental part, p. 139 - 143 (2012/03/09)
A mild and efficient Knoevenagel-Doebner reaction from malonic acid and a wide range of aldehydes was catalyzed by a catalytic system consisting of β-alanine and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), affording the corresponding (E)-α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids in good to excellent yields and with high stereoselectivity. The advantage of the method is that the reaction could proceed smoothly at ambient temperature so that it can tolerate a variety of functional groups and avoid unnecessary side reactions. Copyright

On treatment with indium metal, the 2,2,2-trichloroethyl carboxylates smoothly undergo deprotection to carboxylic acids and reductive demonochlorination to 2,2-dichloroethyl esters, sharply depending on their structures.
Design and synthesis of low molecular weight compounds with complement inhibition activity
Master, Hoshang E.,Khan, Shabana I.,Poojari, Krishna A.
, p. 4891 - 4899 (2007/10/03)
An attempt was made to synthesize a series of non-cytotoxic low molecular weight compounds of varying substitutions and functionalities having pharmacophore activity like carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acid and bioisosteres like tetrazole and phenyl acrylic acid. The in vitro assay of these analogues for the inhibition of complement activity revealed significant inhibitory activity for varying substituents and, particularly, for bioisosteres, that is, tetrazole and phenyl acrylic acid derivatives.

A series of 4-carboxychalcones 1 were prepared and coupled to 3,5-bis(phenylmethylene)-4-piperidone (2) giving rise to a novel series of N-[4-(3-aryl-3-oxo-1-propenyl)phenylcarbonyl]-3,5-bis(phenylmethylene)-4- piperidones (3). Molecular simplification of the amides 3 led to the formation of the corresponding N-(3-aryl-1-oxo-2-propenyl)-3,5-bis(phenylmethylene)-4-piperidones (4). A cytotoxic evaluation of the compounds in series 1-4 utilized murine P388 and L1210 cells as well as human Molt 4/C8 and CEM T-lymphocytes. In general, the compounds displayed significant toxicity; the IC50 values of 54% of the enones were less than 10 μM when all four screens were considered and less than 1 μM for all members of series 3 in the P388 assay. Various correlations were established between the potencies of the compounds in series 1, 3 and 4 and the Hammett σ, Hansch π and molecular refractivity constants of the aryl substituents. Several torsion angles and interatomic distances of five representative compounds in series 3 and 4 were determined by X-ray crystallography, some of which contributed to the observed bioactivity. The marked cytotoxicity and lack of murine toxicity of most of the compounds described in this study, as well as their selective toxicity towards different tumour cell lines, revealed that development of the enones 2-4 as novel candidate antineoplastic agents should be pursued.

, p. 2514 - 2520 (2007/10/02)
Sequential treatment of a 2-halo carboxylic acid with a dialkyl phosphite and an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of 3 equiv of sodium hydride in glyme constitutes a new general acrylic acid synthesis superior to conventional methods.An alkoxide-in-alcohol variant may be used with bromo- or chloroacetic acid and aryl aldehydes to produce cinnamic acids conveniently.The scope and other features of the synthesis are discussed.
