- Synthesis, antimicrobial evaluation, and QSAR analysis of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol derivatives
-
A series of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and Gram-negative Escherichia coli and in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The results of antimicrobial activity demonstrated that the compounds 10, 20, and 21 were the most active ones among the synthesized compounds. The QSAR studies revealed the importance of dipole moment (μ), total energy (Te), and topological parameters (κ1 and κ3) in describing the antimicrobial activity of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol derivatives.

- Substituent Effect on the Enantiomer-Differentiating Reaction of Lithiomethyl p-Tolyl Sulfoxide with Meta- or Para-Substituted (R)-(-)-Menthyl Benzoates
-
Treatment of (R)-(-)-menthyl benzoates, which have a variety of meta- or para-substituents, with 2 equivalents of racemic lithiomethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide displays the feature of an enantiomer-differentiating reaction, affording the corresponding optically active β-keto sulfoxides.The degree and the direction of enantioselectivity were affected by the nature of the substituent on benzene ring.The electron-releasing substituents trend to increase the percente.e. value.The reversal in the configuration with the variation in the substituent which has a high electron-withdrawing p-CN group was also observed.The R/S values thus obtained gave a good correlation with Hammett's ? values (γ = 0.975), affording a negative straight line. based on these observations, a plausible stereochemical course of this reaction has been discussed.
