Synthesis of natural phenylpropanoid esters via conventional chemical reactions

Abstract

Using classical reactions, the synthesis of seven natural esters was described, including for the first time the synthesis of four natural phenylpropanoid esters proven by preliminary studies using samples obtained from natural sources. Applying the Wittig reaction, trans-bornyl ferulates were obtained, in an unusual manner, which established an alternative for the preparation of phenylpropanoid esters, especially in the synthesis of phenolic esters of tertiary alcohols such as the trans-caffeate. The compounds obtained were identified and characterized by spectroscopy.

“…Em 2017, ele publicou sobre a "Formação de benzofurano bioativo via acoplamento oxidativo, utilizando água de coco (Cocos nucifera L.) como biocatalisador" (Rodrigues et al 2017) e "Compostos citotóxicos derivados de esponjas marinhas" (Mioso et al 2017). Em 2018, ele também voltou a publicar sobre compostos extraídos a partir de esponjas marinhas (Ferriol et al 2018) e sobre a "Síntese de ésteres fenilpropanóides naturais através de reações químicas convencionais" (Borges et al 2018).…”
