Abstract:
... Mannich-type reaction of methyl phenylacetate with the N-tert-butylsulfinyl imine derived from (R)-tert-butylsulfinamide and (Z)-14-(pyridin-3′-yl)tetradec-11-enal has been used as the key step in the first asymmetric synthesis of (−)-nakinadine A. Both the 2,3-syn- and 2,3-anti-diastereoisomers were prepared; comparison of spectroscopic and specific rotation data facilitated assignment of the abs ...

Abstract:
... Carboxylic acid additives have been shown to significantly improve the yield of the Pd-catalyzed intramolecular N-arylation of 2-aminopyrroles containing a 2-chlorophenylsulfonyl group at the 3-position to give a novel tricyclic ring system. Pivalic and phenylacetic acid provided the best yield enhancement, while acetic acid showed moderate enhancement. Other acids showed limited to no enhancement ...

Abstract:
... The removal of nitrogen compounds (N-compounds) from fuels has attracted considerable attention because of the necessity to reduce nitrogen oxide emission and improve sulfur elimination. In this work, we reported a novel denitrogenation method of fuels using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as extractants, and demonstrated the essential role of a rational control of the physicochemical character of D ...
biomimetics; chemical reactions; enantiomers; mechanistic models; phenylacetic acid; synthesis
Abstract:
... We report herein the first total synthesis of (−)-incarviatone A (1) in 14 steps starting from commercially available inexpensive phenylacetic acid (9). Our early stage synthesis relies on the scalable and sequential C–H functionalization to rapidly assemble the indanyl dialdehyde framework. Further biomimetic cascade strategy allows us to obtain the natural product in a one-pot operation. We also ...

Abstract:
... A reagent-controlled, diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of anti- and syn-β-hydroxy-α-phenyl carboxylates has been achieved by the proper choice of solvent, temperature, alkoxy group, and amine for the diisopinocampheylboron-mediated asymmetric enolization–aldolization of phenylacetates. The pure diastereomers can be readily separated by column chromatography. ...

Abstract:
... A novel approach for the asymmetric synthesis of the active (1S,2R)-enantiomer of the antidepressant milnacipran is reported. The two stereogenic centers borne by the cyclopropane ring were sequentially installed starting from phenylacetic acid. ...
... Heteropoly acid H₃PW₁₂O₄₀ is a very efficient and environmentally benign catalyst for the Fries rearrangement of phenyl acetate in homogeneous or heterogeneous liquid-phase systems at 100–150 °C. ...
... Two new siderophores belonging to the hydroxamate class, Legonoxamine A (1) and B (2) have been isolated from the soil bacterium, Streptomyces sp. MA37, together with one known compound, desferrioxamine B (3). Their structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic methods including 1D, 2D NMR, MS, as well as by comparison with the relevant literatures. To our knowledge, this is the first report d ...
aromatic hydrocarbons; catalytic activity; chemical bonding; chemical reactions; drugs; moieties; palladium; phenylacetic acid
Abstract:
... A nitrile-based template attached with a phenylacetic acid framework promoted meta-selective C–H bond olefination. This palladium-catalyzed protocol is applicable to a wide range of substituted phenylacetic acids and tolerates a variety of functional groups. The versatility of this operationally simple method has been demonstrated through drug diversification. ...
biphenyl; chemical reactions; phenanthrenes; phenylacetic acid
Abstract:
... Saddle- and propeller-shaped macrocycles are obtained by fourfold Perkin condensations in transient high dilution of 4,4′-bis(phenylglyoxylic acid) with either 4,4′-bis(phenylacetic acid) or p-phenylenediacetic acid, followed by four-fold oxidative photocyclizations. In the saddle-shaped tetraphenanthrylene, the angle between opposite phenanthrene planes is close to the value of 90° of an ideal sa ...
chemical reactions; hydrobromic acid; hydrochloric acid; indoles; moieties; phenylacetic acid
Abstract:
... We report on a novel synthesis towards benzofuran-2-yl-methanamine and indol-2-yl-methanamine derivatives by using ortho-methoxy and ortho-nitro substituted phenylacetic acids as starting material, respectively. For each compound series, a key intermediate bearing the oxazole-4-carboxylic acid methylester moiety was produced. Refluxing the ortho-methoxy series in HBr/HAc produced the desired benzo ...

Abstract:
... Treatment of α-imino esters derived from glycine esters and benzophenone or benzaldehydes with potassium tert butoxide in DMSO gave persistent solutions of carbanions at 20 °C. The kinetics of their reactions with quinone methides and benzylidene malonates (reference electrophiles) have been followed photometrically under pseudo-first order conditions. The reactions followed second-order rate laws ...
... The palladium-catalyzed alkynylation of phenylacetic acid derivatives using 4-CF3C6F4NH2 as the auxiliary is described. The reaction efficiency can be greatly promoted by pyridine ligand, which enables the reaction to proceed at a catalyst loading as low as 1 mol%. Various functional groups are tolerated under the reaction conditions. The kinetic studies show that the rate of the reaction is first ...

Abstract:
... The synthesis of novel, chignolin-derived peptides comprising the azobenzene photoswitch [3-(3-aminomethyl)phenylazo]phenylacetic acid (AMPP) is reported. Reversible photoswitching behavior led to folding into β-hairpin-like structures, as unequivocally demonstrated by CD, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. ...
Pseudomonas protegens; aniline; chemical bonding; chemical reactions; enzyme activity; in vitro studies; phenylacetic acid; transferases
Abstract:
... Amide bond formation has considerable significance in synthetic chemistry. Although the C-acyltransferase from Pseudomonas protegens has been found to catalyze C–C bond formation in nature as well as in in vitro experiments with non-natural substrates, it is now shown that the enzyme is also able to catalyze amide formation using aniline derivatives as substrates with promiscuous activity. Importa ...
... Application of aroma extract dilution analysis on the volatiles formed by reacting glucose and L-phenylalanine (30 min, 100 degrees C) revealed the Strecker aldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde (PA), and, in addition, phenylacetic acid (PAA) as the two key odorants among the volatiles formed. Quantitative measurements on alpha-dicarbonyl formation revealed that the 3-deoxyosone and glyoxal were formed as ...
chemical reactions; chemical structure; diastereoselectivity; methylene chloride; phenylacetic acid; solvents; temperature
Abstract:
... Unlike the enolboration–aldolization of methyl propanoate, the choice of either the solvent or temperature determines the diastereoselectivity during the enolboration–aldolization of methyl phenylacetate. In CH₂Cl₂, the reaction favors the anti-pathway at −78 °C and the syn-pathway at rt. Conversely, the reaction produces the anti-isomer up to rt and the syn-isomer at refluxing temperatures in non ...
