The first step in catabolism of the broadleaf herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is catalyzed by 2,4-D/alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha-KG)-dioxygenase (TfdA) in Ralstonia eutropha (formerly Alcaligenes eutrophus) JMP134. This oxygen- and ferrous-ion-dependent enzyme couples the oxidative decarboxylation of alpha-KG (yielding CO2 and succinate)
A novel series of potent and selective PPARdelta agonists, para-alkylthiophenoxyacetic acids, was identified. The synthesis and structure-activity relationships are described.
A structurally representative series of 1,2- and 1,3-cyclic sulfamidates react with enolates derived from methyl alpha-phenylthioacetate 9b to give 5- and 6-substituted alpha-phenylthio lactams 20-24. These products provide, via the corresponding sulfoxides, an entry to alpha,beta-unsaturated lactams e.g. 12, 27
