The isomers of α-(cyclopentyl-1-ene)-α-hydroxy-α-phenylacetic acid esters derived from 3-azabicyclo[3,3,1]nonan-9α-ol ((R)-1 and (S)-1) were obtained in high enantiomeric excess by effective stereoselective synthesis from the chiral starting material, (S) or (R)-mandelic acid using pivaldehyde as a sterically hindered reagent

α-Aryl malonate and α-aryl cyano acetate moieties are found in the structures of many bioactive compounds. They are also key intermediates for the synthesis of many compounds such as isoflavonoids. In this work, we synthesized these compounds, with different patterns of substitution, starting with the palladium-catalyzed reaction of o-alkoxy-bromoarenes with dimethyl malonate or ethyl cyanoacetate. Under the conditions applied, moderate to good yields of arylmalonate mono­esters, phenylacetic esters or acids, and benzylnitrile derivatives were obtained.

Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of using Y. lipolytica biomass as a whole-cell catalyst in the synthesis of lipophilic antioxidants, with the example of esterification of five phenolic acids with 1-butanol. Results Freeze-dried Y. lipolytica biomass was successfully applied as a biocatalyst in the synthesis of esters of phenylpropanoic acid derivatives with 75–98% conversion. However, in the case of phenylacetic acid derivatives, results below 10% were obtained. The biological activity of phenolic acid esters was strongly associated with their chemical structures. Butyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate showed an IC50 value of 19 mg/ml (95 mM) and TEAC value of 0.427. Among the compounds tested, butyl esters of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic and 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acids exhibited the highest antifungal activity. Conclusions Lipophilization of phenolic acids achieved by enzymatic esterification creates prospects for using these compounds as food additives with antioxidant properties in lipid-rich food matrices.
