Abstract

A efficient 2-step protocol has been applied for the synthesis of Lansiumamide B (N-methyl-N-cis-styryl-cinnamamide, 2) derivatives by various substitution on the amide nitrogen with alkyl, allyl, propargyl, benzyl or ester groups. The structures of nine new compounds were characterized by HRMS, ¹H NMR, and 13C NMR spectra. These compounds were tested in vitro against 10 strains of phytopathogenic fungi and showed a wide Antifungal spectrum. The relationship between different substituents on the amide nitrogen and Antifungal activity of Lansiumamide B derivatives were compared and analyzed. The result indicates that the length and steric hindrance of N-substitution have a significant impact on biological activities. It is noteworthy that the methyl or ethyl substituent on the amide nitrogen is critical for the Antifungal activities.
