Abstract
Parasitic weeds, such as Orobanche and Striga, threaten crops globally. Contiguous efforts on the discovery and development of structurally novel seed germination stimulants targeting HYPOSENSITIVE TO LIGHT/KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE 2 (HTL/KAI2) have been made with the goal of weed control. Here, we demonstrate that a natural compound dehydrocostus lactone (DCL) exhibits effective "suicide germination" activity against Orobanche cumana and covalently binds to OcKAI2d2 on two catalytic serine sites with the second modification dependent on the first one. The same interactions and covalent modifications of DCL are also confirmed in AtKAI2. Further in-depth evolution analysis indicates that the proposed two catalytic sites are present throughout the streptophyte algae, hornworts, lycophytes, and seed plants. This discovery is particularly noteworthy as it signifies the first confirmation of a plant endogenous molecule directly binding to KAI2, which is valuable for unraveling the elusive identity of the KAI2 ligand and for targeting KAI2 paralogues for the development of novel germination stimulants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The discovery of agricultural fungicide candidates from natural products is one of the key strategies for developing environment friendly agricultural fungicides with high efficiency, high selectivity and unique modes-of-action. Based on previous work, a series of novel α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone (MBL) derivatives containing benzothiophene moiety were designed and synthesized. RESULTS The majority of the proposed compounds displayed moderate to considerable antifungal efficacy against the tested pathogenic fungi and oomycetes, some exhibiting broad spectrum antifungal activity. Notably, compounds 2 (3-F-Ph) and 7 (4-Cl-Ph) showed excellent antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia with half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 0.94 and 0.99 mg L-1, respectively, comparable to the commercial fungicide tebuconazole (EC50 = 0.96 mg L-1), and also displayed significant inhibitory effects against V alsa mali with EC50 values of 2.26 and 1.67 mg L-1, respectively - better than famoxadone and carabrone. The in vivo protective and curative effects against R. solani of compound 2 were 57.2% and 53.7% at 100 mg L-1, respectively, which were equivalent to tebuconazole (51.6% and 52.4%). Further investigations found that compound 2 altered the ultrastructure of R. solani cell, significantly increased the relative conductivity of the cells, and reduced the activity of complex III in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular docking results showed that compound 2 matched well with the Qo pocket. CONCLUSION The results revealed that MBL derivatives containing benzothiophene moiety are promising antifungal candidates and provide a new backbone structure for further optimization of novel fungicides. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Phosphine-Catalyzed Synthesis and Cytotoxic Evaluation of Michael Adducts of the Sesquiterpene Lactone Arglabin. ChemMedChem 2024; 19:e202400045.

Abstract
A general method for chemo- and diastereoselective modification of anticancer natural product arglabin with nitrogen- and carbon-centered pronucleophiles under the influence of nucleophilic phosphine catalysts was developed. The locked s-cis-geometry of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone moiety of arglabin favors for the additional stabilization of the zwitterionic intermediate by electrostatic interaction between phosphonium and enolate oxygen centers, leading to the unprecedentedly high efficiency of the phosphine-catalyzed Michael additions to this sesquiterpene lactone. Using n-Bu3P as the catalyst, pyrazole, phthalimide, 2-oxazolidinone, 4-quinazolinone, uracil, thymine, cytosine, and adenine adducts of arglabin were obtained. The n-Bu3P-catalyzed reaction of arglabin with active methylene compounds resulted in the predominant formation of bisadducts bearing a new quaternary carbon center. All synthesized Michael adducts and previously obtained phosphorylated arglabin derivatives were evaluated in vitro against eleven cancer and two normal cell lines, and the results were compared to those of natural arglabin and its dimethylamino hydrochloride salt currently used as anticancer drugs. 2-Oxazolidinone, uracil, diethyl malonate, dibenzyl phosphonate, and diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate derivatives of arglabin exhibited more potent antiproliferative activity towards several cancer cell lines and lower cytotoxicity towards normal cell lines in comparison to the reference compounds, indicating the feasibility of the developed methodology for the design of novel anticancer drugs with better therapeutic potential.

Abstract
The kinetic data indicate that the addition of tertiary phosphines to α-methylene lactones in acetic acid is strongly accelerated in comparison to the reactions of related open-chain esters. Six-membered α-methylene-δ-valerolactone exhibited a more pronounced rate increase than five-membered α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone. The use of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactam as a nitrogen analogue of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone resulted in a total loss of the reaction acceleration. The observed reactivities were rationalized by DFT calculations at the RwB97XD/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory, showing that the intramolecular interaction between phosphonium and enolate oxygen centers provided by the locked s-cis-geometry of the heterocycles plays an important role in the stabilization of intermediate zwitterions. The reactivity is also controlled by the conformational flexibility of the heterocycle. The geometries of five-membered and, especially, six-membered lactone cycles are slightly changed upon the nucleophilic attack of phosphine, leading to the stabilizing stereoelectronic effect by the Ρ···Ο interaction. The addition of phosphine to α-methylene-γ-butyrolactam significantly distorts the initial geometry of the heterocycle, making the nucleophilic attack unfavorable. The application of the stereoelectronic effect to enhance the efficiency of the phosphine-catalyzed Michael and Pudovik reactions of α-methylene lactones was demonstrated.

Abstract
An efficient and practical phosphine-catalyzed homo-coupling reaction of benzyl chlorides is described. The reactions proceed smoothly in the presence of CsF/B(OMe)3 and NaH as the base, respectively, to provide trans-stilbenes in good yields with a broad scope. Unsymmetrical stilbenes are also generated from the reactions of benzyl chlorides with phosphonium salts. Several P-based key intermediates have been detected by NMR and HRMS analyses, which shed light on the postulated catalytic cycle. In the presence of different bases, the transformations involve two different pathways, in which phenylcarbene and phosphonium alkoxide are considered as key intermediates, respectively. The two pathways are complementary in synthesis but different in mechanisms. The synthetic utility, including gram-scale reactions and straightforward access to π-conjugated molecules, has been demonstrated as well.

Abstract
Phosphorus-based organocatalysis encompasses several subfields that have undergone rapid growth in recent years. This Outlook gives an overview of its various aspects. In particular, we highlight key advances in three topics: nucleophilic phosphine catalysis, organophosphorus catalysis to bypass phosphine oxide waste, and organophosphorus compound-mediated single electron transfer processes. We briefly summarize five additional topics: chiral phosphoric acid catalysis, phosphine oxide Lewis base catalysis, iminophosphorane super base catalysis, phosphonium salt phase transfer catalysis, and frustrated Lewis pair catalysis. Although it is not catalytic in nature, we also discuss novel discoveries that are emerging in phosphorus(V) ligand coupling. We conclude with some ideas about the future of organophosphorus catalysis.
