Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (Z)-Methyl-3-methoxy-2-{2-[(4-(E-3-p-tolylacryloyl)phenoxy)methyl]phenyl}acrylate

The title compound,(Z)-methyl-3-methoxy-2-{2-[(4-(E-3-p-tolylacryloyl)phenoxy)-methyl]phenyl}acrylate,was synthesized and determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.The crystal belongs to the triclinic system,space group P1 with a=8.0157(8),b=12.5748(13),c=13.3768(14)Å,α=64.770(2),β=75.720(2),γ=89.784(2)°,μ=0.085 mm^(-1),Mr=442.49,V=1174.1(2)Å3,Z=2,Dc=1.252 g/cm^(3),F(000)=468,T=294(2)K,R=0.0603 and wR=0.1498 for 2644 observed reflections with I〉2σ(I).X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the single crystal contains strong non-classical hydrogen bonds.The preliminary bioassay showed that the title compound exhibits inhibitory activity against the Pseudoperoniospora cubensis and Rhizoctonia solani at the test concentration of 200 mg/L.

Chemistry and Application of Phosphonium and Arsonium Ylide(ⅩⅧ)——Stereoselective Syntheses of (Z)-3-Perfluoroalkyl--4-(3-Carboethoxy-2-f uranyl )-3-Butenoates

The stereoselective syntheses of (Z)-methyl 3-perfluoroalkyl-4-(3-carboethoxy-2-furanyl)-3-butenoates 5a-c were investigated. The reaction of (3-carboethoxy-2-fu-ranyl)-methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide 1 with methyl 2-perfluoroalkynoates 2a-c in the presence of K2CO3 at room temperature gives two adducts, (E)-methyl 3-per-fluoroalkyl-4-( 3-carboethoxy-2-furanyl )-2-triphenylphosphoranylidene-3-butenoates 3a-c and (E)-methyl 3-perfluoroalkyl-4-(3-carboethoxy-2-furanyl)-4-triphenylphos-phoranylidene-2-butenoates 4a-c. (Z)-Methyl 3-perfluoroalkyl-4-(3-carboethoxy-2-furanyl)-3-butenoates 5a-c can be synthesized stereoselectively with high yields when an aqueous DMF solution of 3c, 4c or a mixture of 3a-b and 4a-b was heated at 140℃ for 8 h.

Formation of (2E)-4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal and (2E)-4-Hydroxy-2-hexenal by Plant Enzymes: A Review Suggests a Role in the Physiology of Plants

It is demonstrated that (3Z)-nonenal (NON) and (3Z)-hexenal (HEX) are oxidized in a cascade by lipoxygenase (LOX) and hydroperoxide peroxygenase (HP peroxygenase) into (2E)-4-hydroxy-2- nonenal (HNE) and (2E)-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (HHE), respectively. In turn, HNE inactivates LOX terminating the cascade. The hydroxy-alkenals produced serve to inhibit plant pathogens, which initiated the cascade. In addition to LOX, other unknown oxygenases may be involved in the cascade.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of(E)-Ethyl 2-(4-(2,4-dimethoxybenzylideneamino)-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio)acetate

The crystal structure of the title compound(E)-ethyl 2-(4-(2,4-dimethoxy benzylide-neamino)-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylthio)acetate(4,C_(24)H_(28)N_(4)O_(7)S,Mr=516.17)was synthesized and determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system,space group P2_(1)/n with a=13.162(2),b=8.4506(13),c=22.602(4)Å,β=99.888(3)°,μ=0.183 mm^(-1),V=2476.5(7)Å^(3),Z=4,D_(c)=1.385 g/cm^(3),F(000)=1088,T=110(2)K,R=0.0426 and wR=0.1216 for 3859 observed reflections with I 2σ(Ⅰ).
