Cinnamic acids are an important class of phenolic compounds, which have many beneficial effects on human health but are also interesting synthetic intermediates thanks to the presence of several reactive sites. While studying the reactivity of cinnamic acids with diazonium salts from aromatic amines, an unexpected reactivity has been discovered, leading to the formation of 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes instead of traditional diazo-coupling products. The new compounds have been fully characterized by mono and bidimensional NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Preliminary studies on the biological activity of the compounds have been carried out testing both their antibacterial and antitumor activity, leading to promising results.

Abstract

Cinnamic acids are an important class of phenolic compounds, which have many beneficial effects on human health but are also interesting synthetic intermediates thanks to the presence of several reactive sites. While studying the reactivity of cinnamic acids with diazonium salts from aromatic amines, an unexpected reactivity has been discovered, leading to the formation of 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes instead of traditional diazo-coupling products. The new compounds have been fully characterized by mono and bidimensional NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Preliminary studies on the biological activity of the compounds have been carried out testing both their antibacterial and antitumor activity, leading to promising results.
