Despite the great economical interest of locusts in agriculture, knowledge on their chemoreception systems is still poor. Phenylacetonitrile is recognised as a pheromone of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria, triggering gregarization, promoting aggregation and inhibiting courtship. However, in the other major locust species, Locusta migratoria, pheromones have not been reported. We have identified the two isomers of naphthylpropionitrile from the male reproductive organs of L. migratoria. Chemical synthesis has confirmed the identity of the two compounds. Both isomers show significant affinity to CSP91, a protein reported in the testis, but not to three other proteins of the same family (CSP180, CSP540 and CSP884) expressed in female accessory glands. The striking similarity of these compounds with phenylacetonitrile and the unusual nature of such chemicals strongly suggest that naphthylpropionitrile could be pheromones for L. migratoria, while their site of expression and binding activity indicate a role in communication between sexes.
Photodecarboxylation of Substituted Naphthylmethyl Arylacetate Esters: Synthesis of Naphthylarylethanes

The synthesis of naphthylarylethanes via the photodecarboxylation of naphthylmethyl arylacetate esters is reported where the aryl group is able to stabilize a charge transfer reaction. The reaction proceeds via intramolecular charge transfer from the donor to acceptor, thereby enhancing a pathway to produce, within the solvent cage, the desired diarylethane products. These in-cage naphthylarylethanes are produced in good yields, in a single photochemical step, with the use of cyclohexane as a solvent providing optimal yields.

The invention discloses C labeled α - naphthalene acetic acid preparation method and belongs to the field of radioisotope C labeled compounds. C-labeled α - naphthylacetic acid preparation method, C radioisotope labeling is introduced on a naphthalene ring structure α -naphthol acid, C labeling site is in α-position. The method has the advantages that the reaction raw materials are easily available, the synthesis steps are high in yield, the total yield is more 60%, C marker isotopes are less in use amount, and waste is generated. The marker site α-position on the naphthalene ring is less likely to be metabolized compared to C-labeled branched acetic acid, and the synthesized C-labeled compound provides a better study of α -naphthoic acid in the environment.

N,N-Dimethyl- and N,N-diisopropyl-1-halo-2-methyl-l-propenylamines are readily available reagents for the mild deoxyhalogenation of alcohols and hydroxyacids. In this study we showed that the reactivity of the reagents can be tuned by varying the size of the alkyl groups on the reagents: the replacement of methyl by isopropyl groups led to a significant increase of reactivity. We then described a unified procedure for all deoxyhalogenations using the readily available α-chloroenamines as reagents with (bromination, iodination) or without (chlorination) an alkaline bromide or iodide. Finally, we showed that deoxyhalogenation reactions of secondary alcohols were highly stereospecific and generally occurred with inversion of configuration.
