A three-step synthesis of 2-nonen-4-olide starting from heptanal is reported. (E)-3-Nonenoic acid, prepared by Knoevenagel condensation of malonic acid and heptanal, was oxidised by performic acid, a process accompanied by lactonisation, to give 3-hydroxynonan-4-olide in 85% yield. This lactone when reacted with MsCl in the presence of Et3N gave, by elimination, 2-nonen-4-olide in 88% yield. The overall yield was 75%. The odour of the product was evaluated by GC-olfactory analysis and sniffing blotter confirming an oily, coconut-like, and rancid odour.

Bacterial communication, termed Quorum Sensing (QS), is a promising target for virulence attenuation and the treatment of bacterial infections. Infections cause inflammation, a process regulated by a number of cellular factors, including the transcription Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB); this factor is found to be upregulated in many inflammatory diseases, including those induced by bacterial infection. In this study, we tested 32 synthetic derivatives of coumaperine (CP), a known natural compound found in pepper (Piper nigrum), for Quorum Sensing Inhibition (QSI) and NF-κB inhibitory activities. Of the compounds tested, seven were found to have high QSI activity, three inhibited bacterial growth and five inhibited NF-κB. In addition, some of the CP compounds were active in more than one test. For example, compounds CP-286, CP-215 and CP-158 were not cytotoxic, inhibited NF-κB activation and QS but did not show antibacterial activity. CP-154 inhibited QS, decreased NF-κB activation and inhibited bacterial growth. Our results indicate that these synthetic molecules may provide a basis for further development of novel therapeutic agents against bacterial infections.

The sequential hydroalumination or methylalumination of various alkynes catalyzed by different catalyst systems, such those based on Sc, Zr, and Ni complexes, and the subsequent carboxylation of the resulting alkenylaluminum species with CO2 catalyzed by an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-copper catalyst have been examined in detail. The regio- and stereoselectivity of the overall reaction relied largely on the hydroalumination or methylalumination reactions, which significantly depended on the catalyst and alkyne substrates. The subsequent Cu-catalyzed carboxylation proceeded with retention of the stereoconfiguration of the alkenylaluminum species. All the reactions could be carried out in one-pot to afford efficiently a variety of α,β- unsaturated carboxylic acids with well-controlled configurations, which are difficult to construct by previously reported methods. This protocol could be practically useful and attractive because of its high regio- and stereoselectivity, simple one-pot reaction operation, and the use of CO 2 as a starting material. Copyright
