- A Modular, Enantioselective Synthesis of Resolvins D3, E1, and Hybrids
-
Resolvins D3 and E1 are important signaling molecules in the resolution of inflammation. Here, we report a convergent and flexible strategy to prepare these natural products using Hiyama-Denmark coupling of five- and six-membered cyclic alkenylsiloxanes to connect three resolvin fragments, and control the stereochemistry of the natural product (Z)-alkenes. The modular nature of this approach enables the synthesis of novel resolvin hybrids, opening up opportunities for more-extensive investigations of resolvin biology.

- Enantioselective Synthesis of 7(S)-Hydroxydocosahexaenoic Acid, a Possible Endogenous Ligand for PPARα
-
We report the first total synthesis of the polyunsaturated fatty acid 7-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (7-HDHA) in racemic form and the enantioselective synthesis of 7-(S)-HDHA. Both syntheses follow a convergent approach that unites the C1-C9 and C10-C22 fragments using Sonogashira coupling and Boland reduction as key steps. These syntheses enabled the unambiguous characterization of this natural product for the first time and helped establish 7(S)-HDHA as a possible endogenous ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha.

- Catalytic Hydroalkylation of Allenes
-
We have developed a catalytic method for the hydroalkylation of allenes using alkyl triflates as electrophiles and silane as a hydride source. The reaction has an excellent substrate scope and is compatible with a wide range of functional groups, including esters, aryl halides, aryl boronic esters, sulfonamides, alkyl tosylates, and alkyl bromides. We found evidence for a reaction mechanism that involves unusual dinuclear copper ally complexes as catalytic intermediates. The unusual structure of these complexes provides a rationale for their unexpected reactivity.

- METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF DHA
-
A method for preparing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The method comprises coupling a compound represented by Formula I with a compound represented by Formula II followed by partial hydrogenation to obtain a compound represented by Formula III. The compound represented by Formula III acts as a DHA precursor and thus can be hydrolysed to obtain DHA. Novel starting materials represented by Formula I and Formula II, and synthetic routes for preparing the same are also provided.

- Aza cope rearrangement of propargyl enammonium cations catalyzed by a self-assembled "nanozyme"
-
The tetrahedral assembly [Ga4L6]12- [L = N,N-bis(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-1,5-diaminonaphthalene) encapsulates a variety of cations, including propargyl enammonium cations capable of undergoing the aza Cope rearrangement. For propargyl enammonium substrates that are encapsulated in the [Ga4L6]12- assembly, rate accelerations by factors of up to 184 compared with the background reaction rate were observed. After rearrangement, the product iminium ion is released into solution and hydrolyzed, allowing for catalytic turnover. The activation parameters for the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reaction were determined, revealing that a decrease in the entropy of activation is responsible for the observed rate enhancements. The catalyzed reaction exhibits saturation kinetics: the rate data obeyed the Michaelis-Menten model of enzyme kinetics, and competitive inhibition using a nonreactive guest was demonstrated.

- Antioxidant behaviour of thia fatty acids
-
Eight thia fatty acids and other sulfides have been studied as inhibitors of autoxidation of arachidonic acid. The inhibitors extend the lag phase of the oxidation, to varying degrees. A carboxyl group in the vicinity of the sulfur reduces the antioxidant activity, while unsaturated sulfides are more effective than their saturated analogues. The results are consistent with the sulfides acting to reduce fatty acid hydroperoxides, which otherwise accumulate during the early stages of reaction and propagate the free-radical oxidation process.

- Tetradecatrienyl and tetradecadienyl acetates and their use as sex attractants for tomato pests
-
The present invention is directed to compounds useful as moth attractants and to methods for controlling populations of the tomato moth Scrobipalpuloides absoluta with these compounds. The compounds are 3,8,11-tetradecatrienyl acetates, 3,8-tetradecadienyl acetates, 3,11-tetradecadienyl acetates, and 8,11-tetradecadienyl acetates. Preferred compounds are (3E,8Z,11Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrienyl acetate, (3E,8Z)-3,8-tetradecadienyl acetate, (3E,11Z)-3,11 -tetradecadienyl acetate, and (8Z,11Z)-8-11-tetradecadienyl acetate. The compounds can be used as an attractant in moth traps comprising, in addition to the compounds, a moth restraint. Alternatively, the compounds of the present invention can be combined with a biocontrol agent or an insecticide for use as a moth control composition. Synthesis of (3E,8Z,11Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrienyl acetate is described.

- (3E,8Z,11Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrienyl acetate, major sex pheromone component of the tomato pest Scrobipalpuloides absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
-
The major sex attractant emitted by Scrobipalpuloides absoluta females is shown to be (3E,8Z,11Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrien-1-yl acetate by a novel strategy involving the random reduction of double bonds, followed by methylthiolation of the reduced products. Each female sex gland contains ca. 1-5 ng of this pheromone. This triene ester, synthesized by a stereospecific procedure, shows spectral and gas chromatographic properties identical to those of the natural substance. In field tests and wind tunnel bioassays, the synthetic ester was found to be highly attractive to conspecific males. The male response to this pheromone, however, is restricted to the same early-morning time window during which females exhibit calling behavior.
