In this study a series of dodecanoic acid derivatives (1-30) were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activity against the panel of Gram positive, Gram negative bacterial and fungal strains. 4-Nitro phenyl dodecanoate (4) and quinolin-8-yl dodecanoate (5) emerged as most effective antibacterial agents, and 1-(4-benzylpiperazin- 1-yl) dodecan-1-one (15) was found to be the most effective antifungal agent amongst the synthesized dodecanoic acid derivatives. Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) studies performed by the development of one-target and multi-target models indicated that multitarget model was effective in describing the antimicrobial activity of dodecanoic acid derivatives as well demonstrated the importance of topological parameter, zero-order molecular connectivity index (0X).

A kinetic study of reactions of carboxylic acid esters with phenols activated with alkalis or amines in microemulsions based on cationic surfactants showed that the phenolates formed upon activation exhibit different nucleophilicity depending on the value of the negative charge on the oxygen atom, which is determined by the properties of the phenol, ionizing agent, and solvent.

Effective Charge Development in Ester Hydrolysis Catalyzed by Cationic Micelles

Reaction of hydroxide ion with substituted phenyl laurates is catalyzed by micelles containing CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide).The observed rate constants for ester consumption obey a Michaelis-Menten-like rate law, kobsd = (kOHKeq + kOHcat)/(Keq + ), where kOHcat is the second order rate constant for reaction of hydroxide ion with micelle-bound ester, Keq is a partition coefficient for dissociation of ester from the micelle-bound ester, and kOH is the second order rate constant for reaction of free ester with hydroxide ion.The value of the parameter Keq is independent of the nature of the substituent on the ester.The ratio kOHcat/Keq represents the free energy change from ester in aqueous solution to the transition state of the ester reaction in the micellar pseudophase.The dependence of log kOHcat/Keq on the pKa of the leaving phenol obeys a linear Bronsted equation with β1g = -0.51, and log kOH obeys a linear Bronsted equation with β1g = -0.56.Since both Bronsted parameters refer to catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions starting from the same standard state (aqueous solution), the effective charge in the transtition state of both reactions is almost the same.The microscopic medium is thus similar for both cases, consistent with the COOAr moiety's residing in an aqueous-like region of the pseudophase in the catalytic process.
