“…Methanol (CH3OH) was distilled prior to reactions from Mg element shavings in the presence of I2. The following substrates such as 3-phenylsalicylicaldehyde (6), 3-tert-butyl-5-methylsalicylic aldehyde (8), 4-methoxybenzoic acid hydrazide (15), 3-hydroxybenzoic acid hydrazide (18), and reference hydrazide-hydrazones 4-hydroxy-N'-[(E)-3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzylidene]benzohydrazide (20), 4-hydroxy-N'-[(E)-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)methylidene]benzohydrazide (21), 3-hydroxy-N'-[(E)-(3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)methylidene]benzohydrazide (22), and 4-methoxy-N'-[(E)-2hydroxy-3-phenylbenzylidene]benzohydrazide (23) were synthesized and characterized in our previous work [31]. Analytical TLC was performed on PET foils precoated with silica gel (silica gel, 60 F254, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), and were made visual under This leads to the conclusion, the compound to inhibit laccase competitively must interact with amino acids from the depths and bottom of the active center, such as Asp206, Asn264, Leu 164, or Phe265.…”
