- A Bisphenolic Honokiol Analog Outcompetes Oral Antimicrobial Agent Cetylpyridinium Chloride via a Membrane-Associated Mechanism
-
Targeting Streptococcus mutans is the primary focus in reducing dental caries, one of the most common maladies in the world. Previously, our groups discovered a potent bactericidal biaryl compound that was inspired by the natural product honokiol. Herein, a structure activity relationship (SAR) study to ascertain structural motifs key to inhibition is outlined. Furthermore, mechanism studies show that bacterial membrane disruption is central to the bacterial growth inhibition. During this process, it was discovered that analog C2 demonstrated a 4-fold better therapeutic index compared to the commercially available antimicrobial cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) making it a viable alternative for oral care.

- Reductive deoxygenation of ortho-hydroxyaromatic aldehydes to 1,2-bis(hydroxyaryl)ethanes: application to the synthesis of ethylene bridged calixarene-analogous metacyclophanes
-
A novel and convenient protocol for the synthesis of hexahydroxy[2.1.2.1.2.1]- and octahydroxy[2.1.2.1.2.1.2.1]metacyclophanes from 4-substituted phenol in four steps has been developed. The synthetic route involved the preparation of the key intermediate 1,2-bis(5-substituted-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanes in good yields via (i) formylation of 4-substituted phenol, (ii) reductive deoxygenation of 5-substituted 2-hydroxy aromatic aldehydes with low-valent titanium reagent and (iii) catalytic hydrogenation. The metacyclophanes were prepared by base-catalyzed macrocyclization of the above intermediates with formaldehyde in refluxing xylene in high yields.

- LiAIH4 promoted reductive deoxygenation of hydroxybenzyl alcohols via benzoquinone methide intermediates
-
Primary and secondary hydroxybenzyl alcohols react with LiAIH4 in chlorobenzene to give the corresponding alkylphenols. The reaction proceeds through the formation of benzoquinone methide as an intermediate. An example of [4+2] cycloaddition of benzoquinone methide is also reported.

- Interaction of alkoxides. XVIII. Utilitization of the complex base from alkyllithium and potassium alkoxides in the dimetallation of phenol, thiophenol, o-, m- and p-cresol
-
Successful O- and ortho-ring metallation of phenol and side chain metallation in o-cresol has been achieved by use of a mixture of two molar equivalents of n-butyllithium, one molar equivalent of potassium t-butoxide and two molar equivalents of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylene diamine in hexane.Poor results were obtained with m-cresol, thiophenol and p-cresol. m-Cresol was effectively dimetallated with a mixture of two molar equivalents of tBuOK and two molar equivalents of nBuLi*TMEDA.The effectiveness of another type of complex base based on 2-ethylhexyllithium (EhexLi) and potassium alkoxides has been also investigated, especially in respect of the influence of the concentration and the ctructure of the alkoxide used.With a complex base from EhexLi and 3 equivalents of potassium 3-methyl-3-pentoxide phenol was successfuly dimetallated even in the absence of TMEDA.Thus, the enhanced reactivity of a complex base containing a higher concentration of a more branched potassium alkoxide over that of previously used complex bases has been confirmed.

- Syntheses and Platelet Aggregation Inhibitory and Antithrombotic Properties of ethyl>benzenes
-
A series of ethyl>benzene derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit collagen-induced platelet aggregation in vitro and to protect experimantal thrombosis in mice.The results showed that the compounds were in vitro inhibitors of collagen-induced platelet aggregation.Most of them were also effective in the mouse antithrombotic assay.The compounds were found to be potent antagonists to S2 serotonergic receptor, and good correlation (r = 0.85) between their S2 serotonergic receptor antagonism and their potency as platelet antiaggregatory drugs was observed.Among the compounds studied, monophenoxy>methyl>ethyl>succinate hydrochloride (12b, MCI-9042) was selected for further pharmacological and toxicological evaluation.

- Preparation and Reactions of Dianions from the Cresols
-
With n-BuLi/KO-t-Bu, protons are removed from the hydroxyl and methyl groups of cresols 5 to give dianions 6 in yields of 85percent (ortho), 95percent (meta), and 42percent (para).These dianions react with alkyl halides, Me3SiCl, Bu3SnCl, CO2, and oxidizing agents at carbon only and with dialkyl sulfates at both carbon and oxygen.Thus phenol derivatives bearing primary alkyl groups can be prepared from the corresponding methylphenols via dianions 6.
