General description

Chiral urea compounds catalyzed hetero-Michael addition reaction of 2(5H)-furanone (γ-crotonolactone) to pyrrolidine. The quorum sensing inhibition activity by 2(5H)-furanone was studied using bioindicator strains.

Application

2(5H)-Furanone (γ-Crotonolactone) has been used in:
  • synthesis of (+)-L-733,060, (+)-CP-99,994 and (2S,3R)-3-hydroxypipecolic acid
  • synthesis of 5-substituted 2(5H) furanones (γ-butenolides) via direct aldol reaction with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by bifunctional aminothiourea and aminosquaramide organocatalysts
  • Michael addition reactions for synthesis of lignans
  • three-component Michael-Aldol reactions with an aldehyde anda thiolate or carbanion

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

In this work, we report the isolation and detailed functional characterization for the new non-ribosomally synthesized antibiotic 5812-A/C, which was derived from metabolites of Streptomyces roseoflavus INA-Ac-5812. According to its chemical structure, the studied 5812-A/C preliminary is composed of a
