Bioinspired, releasable quorum sensing modulators

We demonstrate the synthesis and immobilization of natural product hybrids featuring an acyl-homoserine lactone and a nitrodopamine onto biocompatible TiO2 surfaces through an operationally simple dip-and-rinse procedure. The resulting immobilized hybrids ...

Synthetic Studies on Daphmanidin C and Maytenone Based on Biosynthetic Considerations and Natural Product Hybrids as Tools for Quorum Sensing

Adrien Keith Lawrence

The isolation and characterisation of natural products remains a challenge in chemistry owing to nature's magnificent diversity. Natural products or natural product derivatives have always been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of diseases. T ...

The bora-ene reaction of sulfur dioxide and prop-2-ene-1-boronic esters. New route to sulfoxides

Pierre Vogel, Adrien Keith Lawrence, Maris Turks

A new one-pot synthesis of sulfoxides is presented. It involves the bora-ene reaction of sulfur dioxide and prop-2-ene-1-boronic esters, giving mixed anhydrides of sulfinic and boric acids. The latter react chemoselectively at the sulfur center with Grigna ...
