Microbial Formation of Substituted Styrenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various monoand disubstituted cinnamic acid derivatives and aromatic carboxylic acids with saturated side chains were incubated mainly with Bacillus, Candida, Hansenula, and Saccharo m yces strains. The cinnamic acids carrying a hydroxyand/or a methoxy group at the 3and/or 4-position of the benzene ring were decarboxylated with high yields. Most of the reactions were terminated within 24 to 48 h. Substitution at other ring positions afforded also decarboxylation, but at much lower yields. Derivatives with other residues like methyl, chloride, or bromide were not transformed to the respective styrene. None of the saturated aromatic carboxylic acids could be decarboxylated by the strains used.

2,4,6-Triisopropylstryrene was synthesized in a single step via the Witting Reaction from the corresponding aldehyde. The reaction of three styrene's derivatives, 2,6-dimethylstyrene, 2,4,6-trimethylstyrene, and 2,4,6- triisopropylstyrene with 4-methyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dion(M eTD) was investigated. These reactions are instantaneous at room temperature and lead to the formation of 2: 1 ...

متن کاملVisible light-induced difunctionalization of electron-enriched styrenes: synthesis of tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans.
The difunctionalization of electron-enriched styrenes for the synthesis of substituted tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans in the presence of photoredox catalysts is described. The procedure is highlighted by its operational simplicity, low catalyst loadings (1 mol%), excellent stereoselectivity and mild reaction conditions.
متن کاملSynthesis of α-substituted vinylsulfonium salts and their application as annulation reagents in the formation of epoxide- and cyclopropane-fused heterocycles.
The discovery of new methods for the synthesis of classes of potentially bioactive molecules remains an important goal for synthetic chemists. Vinylsulfonium salts have been used for the synthesis of a wide variety of small heterocyclic motifs; however, further developments to this important class of reagents has been focused on reaction with new substrates rather than development of new vinyls...

The development of synthetic methodologies which provide access to both stereoisomers of α,β-disubstituted olefins is a challenging undertaking. Herein, we describe the development of an operationally simple and stereoselective synthesis of difluoromethylated styrenes via a visible-light photocatalytic decarboxylation strategy using fac-Ir(ppy)3 as the photocatalyst. Meta- and para-substituted ...
