Both cis- and trans-but-2-ene-1,4-diamines have been prepared and efficiently applied as sacrificial cosubstrates in enzymatic transamination reactions. The best results were obtained with the cis-diamine. The thermodynamic equilibrium of the stereoselective transamination process is shifted to the amine formation due to tautomerization of 5H-pyrrole into 1H-pyrrole, achieving high conversions (78–99%) and enantiomeric excess (up to >99%) by using a small excess of the amine donor. Furthermore, when the reaction proceeded, a strong coloration was observed due to polymerization of 1H-pyrrole. A structurally related compound, cis-but-2-ene-1,4-diol, has been utilized as cosubstrate in different alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)-mediated bioreductions. In this case, high conversions (91–99%) were observed due to a lactonization process. Both strategies are convenient from both synthetic and atom economy points of view in the production of valuable optically active products. (Figure presented.).

The putrescine analogue, (E)-1,4-diaminobut-2-ene (E-BED), synthesized as the dihydrochloride salt, controlled five economically important crop pathogens, Erysiphe graminis DC f.sp. hordei Marchal, Uromyces viciae-fabae (Pers.) Schroet, Botrytis fabae Sardina, Podosphaera leucotricha (Ell. & Ev.) Salm. and Phytophthora infestans (Mont) De Bary. The Z-isomer, Z-BED, was also fungicidal, although less so than E-BED. Post-inoculation treatment with E-BED gave greater control of powdery mildew infection on barley and rust and chocolate spot on broad bean than did pre-inoculation application. It was also effective in vitro against Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr., Pyricularia oxyzae Br. & Cav. and Pyrenophora avenae Ito & Karibay. When P. avenae was grown in the presence of E-BED dihydrochloride at 81.5 mg litre-1, growth was reduced by 58 percent and there were significant reductions in soluble ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) activity. These changes were accompanied by a sevenfold increase in putrescine concentration, a 60 percent increase in spermine concentration and a 32 percent reduction in spermidine concentration within the fungal tissue.
