Ethylenediamine (H2NCH2CH2NH2) was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the condensation of aryl aldehydes with nitromethane (or nitroethane). When 1%-2% (mol%) of ethylenediamine was used as the catalyst, the one-pot reaction of aryl aldehydes with nitromethane (or nitroethane) by refluxing for 3-10 h efficiently afforded various arylnitroalkenes 1a-1y in 85%-97% yields.

A multidisciplinary project was developed, combining the synthesis of a series of β-nitrostyrene derivatives and the determination of their physicochemical parameters (redox potentials, partition coefficients), to the evaluation of the corresponding antibacterial activity. A complete conformational analysis was also performed, in order to get relevant structural information. Subsequently, a structure-property-activity (SPAR) approach was applied, through linear regression analysis, aiming at obtaining a putative correlation between the physicochemical parameters of the compounds investigated and their antibacterial activity (both against standard strains and clinical isolates). The β-nitrostyrene compounds displayed a lower activity towards all the tested bacteria relative to the β-methyl-β-nitrostyrene analogues. This was observed particularly for the 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-β-methyl-β-nitrostyrene (IVb) against the Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium). The SPAR results revealed the existence of a clear correlation between the redox potentials and the antibacterial activity of the series of β-nitrostyrene derivatives under study.
