Paragraph 0029-0031, (2020/07/02)
The invention belongs to the technical field of green pesticide synthesis, and discloses a novel method for synthesizing grassland spodoptera litura sex pheromone active ingredients (Z)-9-dodecene-1-alcohol acetate, (Z)-9-tetradecene-1-alcohol acetate and (Z)-11-hexadecene-1-alcohol acetate. The method comprises the steps: using bromo-alcohol as a starting raw material; and firstly generating hydroxyl phosphonium salt with triphenylphosphine, then respectively carrying out Wittig coupling reaction with propionaldehyde and valeraldehyde to generate Z-type enol, and finally carrying out acetylation reaction with acetic anhydride to prepare (Z)-9-dodecene-1-alcohol acetate, (Z)-9-tetradecene-1-alcohol acetate and (Z)-11-hexadecene-1-alcohol acetate. According to the method, hydroxyl phosphonium salt is used for Wittig reaction, two steps of hydroxyl protection and deprotection are omitted, the synthetic route is simplified, and the method has the advantages of being environmentally friendly and the like.

The marine bacterium Roseovarius tolerans EL-164 (Rhodobacteraceae) can produce unique N-acylalanine methyl esters (NAMEs) besides strucutrally related N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs), bacterial signaling compounds widespread in the Rhodobacteraceae. The structures of two unprecedented NAMEs carrying a rare terminally oxidized acyl chain are reported here. The compounds (Z)-N-16-hydroxyhexadec-9-enoyl-l-alanine methyl ester (Z9-16-OH-C16:1-NAME, 3) and (Z)-N-15-carboxypentadec-9-enoyl-l-alanine methyl ester (16COOH-C16:1-NAME, 4) were isolated, and the structures were determined by NMR and MS experiments. Both compounds were synthesized to prove assignments and to test their biological activity. Finally, non-natural, structurally related Z9-3-OH-C16:1-NAME (18) was synthesized to investigate the mass spectroscopy of structurally related NAMEs. Compound 3 showed moderate antibacterial activity against microorganisms such as Bacillus, Streptococcus, Micrococcus, or Mucor strains. In contrast to AHLs, quorum-sensing or quorum-quenching activity was not observed.

The Roseobacter clade is one of the most important bacteria group living in the ocean. Liquid cultures of Roseovarius tolerans EL 164 were investigated for the production of autoinducers such as N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) and other secondary metabolites. The XAD extracts were analyzed by GC/MS. Two AHLs, Z7-C14: 1-homoserine lactone (HSL) and C15: 1-HSL, were identified. Additionally, the extract contained five compounds with molecular-ion peaks at m/z 104, 145, and 158, thus exhibiting mass spectra similar to those of AHLs with corresponding peaks at m/z 102, 143, and 156. Isolation of the main compound by column chromatography, NMR analysis, dimethyl disulfide derivatization for the determination of the location of the CiC bond and finally synthesis of the compound with the proposed structure confirmed the compound to be (Z)-N-(hexadec-9-enoyl)alanine methyl ester. Four additional minor compounds were identified as C14: 0-, C15: 0-, C16: 0-, and C17: 1-N-acylated alanine methyl esters (NAMEs). All NAMEs have not been described from natural sources before. A BLASTp search showed the presence of AHL-producing luxI genes, but no homologous genes potentially responsible for the structurally closely related NAMEs were found. The involvement of the NAMEs in chemical communication processes of the bacteria is discussed. Copyright

Bongkrekic acid (BKA) is an inhibitor of adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT). Since inhibition of ANT is connected to the inhibition of cytochrome c release from mitochondria, which then results in the suppression of apoptosis, it has been used as a tool for the mechanistic investigation of apoptosis. BKA consists of a long carbon chain with two asymmetric centers, a nonconjugated olefin, two conjugated dienes, three methyl groups, a methoxyl group, and three carboxylic acids. This complicated chemical structure has caused difficulties in synthesis, supply, and biochemical mechanistic investigations. In this study, we designed and synthesized more simple tricarboxylic acids that were inspired by the molecular structure of BKA. Their cytotoxicity and apoptosis-preventing activity in HeLa cells and the effect on the mitochondrial inner membrane potential (Δψm) in HL-60 cells were then evaluated. All tested tricarboxylic acid derivatives including BKA showed little toxicity against HeLa cells. BKA and two of the synthesized derivatives significantly suppressed staurosporine (STS)-induced reductions in cell viability. Furthermore, STS-induced Δψm collapse was significantly restored by pretreatment with BKA and a tricarboxylic acid derivative. Other derivatives, in which one of three carboxylic acids was esterified, exhibited potent toxicity, especially a derivative bearing a carbon chain of the same length as that of BKA. In conclusion, we have developed a new lead compound as an apoptosis inhibitor bearing three carboxylic acids connected with the proper length of a long carbon chain.
Cuticular hydrocarbons and novel alkenediol diacetates from wheat stem sawfly (Cephus cinctus): Natural oxidation to pheromone components

The cuticular lipids of the wheat stem sawfly Cephus cinctus (Hymenoptera: Cephidae) were investigated as part of a chemical ecology project with this species. The major cuticular lipids were n-alkenes and n-alkanes. Alkenes were the most abundant and exhibited dramatic sexual dimorphism. (Z)-9-Tricosene accounted for about half of the total hydrocarbon in males but was nearly absent from females. The dominant alkenes in females were (Z)-9-pentacosene and (Z)-9-heptacosene. The alkane profiles were similar in both sexes, with n-tricosane being the most abundant, followed by n-pentacosane and n-heptacosane. In both sexes, there were minor amounts of alkanes and alkenes with other chain lengths and n-alkadienes of 29 and 31 carbons. In males, about one tenth of the surface lipids consisted of (Z)-9-alkene-1, ω-diol diacetates with 22-, 24-, and 26-carbon chains. The same compounds were also detected from females but in much smaller amounts. The structures of these novel diacetates were proven by synthesis. By analogy to methyl oleate, a well-studied food lipid, the alkenes and diacetates were expected to undergo slow oxidation in air to release specific aldehydes and other volatile products, and these were generally detected in volatiles collected from living sawflies. Atmospheric oxidation of the diacetates was also demonstrated in the absence of sawflies. One product from the diacetates, 9-acetyloxynonanal, was shown in other research to be particularly active electrophysiologically and was also attractive in the field. Aldehydes from the alkenes also showed strong electrophysiological activity. The concept of volatile pheromones originating from heavy, unsaturated cuticular lipids is discussed.

The dimethylated fatty acid 9,13-dimethyltetradecanoic acid was identified for the first time in nature in the Caribbean sponge Calyx podatypa where it occurs together with the rare 10,13-dimethyltetradecanoic acid. The characterization of the novel compound was accomplished using GC- MS, pyrrolidide derivatization, and a five-step total synthesis starting with 8-bromooctanoic acid. The first racemic total synthesis for the rare 10,13- dimethyltetradecanoic acid is also described.

It is shown that the position of the double bond close to the hydrocarbon end of an aliphatic diene functionalized at C(1) can readily be determined by chemical ionization with NO+.Owing to the low abundance of the ions characteristic for the position of the other double bond, its localization may be difficult.Measurement of the chemical ionization (nitric oxide as reagent gas) spectra of the corresponding epoxides or collision activation studies can help.
THE WITTIG REACTION: COMMENTS ON THE MECHANISM AND APPLICATION AS A TOOL IN THE SYNTHESIS OF CONJUGATED DIENES

For construction, by the Wittig reaction, of conjugated dienes with specific stereochemistry (either Z or E) at the newly formed double bond, without isomerization of the existing ("old") double bond, it is better to react a reactive (nonstabilized) saturated ylide with an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde.The opposite approach, namely, the reaction of a moderate (semi-stabilized) allylic ylide with a saturated aldehyde produces a mixture of geometric isomers, as a result of increased production of the E-configuration at the new double bond, and significant isomerization of the existing double bond.The proposed betaine structure for the intermediate could account only for the two equivalents of Li reaction.In other reactions, the less stable erythro-oxaphosphetane is probably the intermediate, produced by an early anti- or gauche C-C bond formation from the ylide and the carbonyl, from which the Z-double bond is then formed.
