Novel trans-Ferulic Acid Derivatives Containing a Chalcone Moiety as Potential Activator for Plant Resistance Induction

A series of novel trans-ferulic acid derivatives containing a chalcone moiety were designed and synthesized to induce plant resistance. Antiviral activities of the compounds were evaluated. Bioassay results demonstrated that compounds F3, F6, F17, and F27 showed remarkable curative, protective, and inactivating activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). With a 50% effective concentration (EC50) value of 98.78 μg mL-1, compound F27 exhibited the best protective activity compared with trans-ferulic acid (328.6 μg mL-1), dufulin (385.6 μg mL-1), and ningnanmycin (241.3 μg mL-1). This protective ability was associated with potentiation of defense-related enzyme activity and activation of photosynthesis of tobacco at an early stage. This notion was confirmed by up-regulated expression of stress responses and photosynthesis regulating proteins. This work revealed that F27 can induce resistance and enhance plant tolerance to TMV infection. Hence, F27 can be considered as a novel activator for inducing plant resistance.

Zn(OTf)2-promoted chemoselective esterification of hydroxyl group bearing carboxylic acids

Selective esterification of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids with various alcohols is studied using triphenylphosphine, I2, and a catalytic amount of Zn(OTf)2. Use of this catalyst allows the formation of esters at a faster rate with good to excellent yield by activating the in situ generated acyloxyphosphonium ion intermediate. During the esterification process, both their aromatic and aliphatic hydroxyl groups are fully preserved from transesterification. The results show that the bulkiness and the reactivity of this doubly activated intermediate III control the selectivity and the rate of the reaction, respectively. The method is also useful for direct amidation reactions.

Highly efficient esterification of ferulic acid under microwave irradiation

A highly efficient synthesis of alkyl ferulates under microwave irradiation is described. The time of these reactions ranged from 3 to 5 minutes, which was much shorter than the traditional synthetic methods, and the alkyl ferulates were obtained in higher yields.
