RESUMEN

Naturally occurring sinapine was successfully synthesized through a proline-mediated Knoevenagel-Doebner condensation in ethanol. This synthetic process involving biobased syringaldehyde, Meldrum's acid, and choline chloride offers a sustainable alternative to the existing low-yield pathways. This two-step strategy gives access to sinapine in a 52% overall yield and has been implemented in the synthesis of sinapine analogues, using 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, and vanillin as precursors, giving target molecules with 34-61% overall isolated yields. The purity of synthetic sinapine and its analogues (ca. 95%) was assessed by NMR and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses. Furthermore, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were assessed, and the potential of this series of molecules was confirmed.
