Ten of the compounds were analyzed by mass spectrometry. lo The K-methylhydroxamate and the hydrazide did not give the indicated parent peak, presumably because of the low volatility (and stability?) of the resulting dipeptide fragment.

A series of 5,5-diarylpenta-2,4-dienoicacids and their amides have been synthesized and evalriated as antimalarial agents. The acids were prepared from the corresponding diary1 ketones either directly by a Reformatsky procedure or through acetylenic alcohol and acrolein intermediates. The preparation of a series of 3,sbis(4-chloropheny1)acrylic acid amides is also reported. One compound, IVjPi-diethyl-5,5-bis(4-chloropheny1)penta-2,4-dienoic acid amide, provided significant antiplasmodial activity.

Among the more novel compounds revealed by the World War I1 malaria program to have interesting antiplasmodial action was KDj-isopropy1-5-(p-chlorophenyl)penta-2,4-dienoic acid amide (1).2 This compound was four times more active than quinine in the chick Plasmodium gallinaceum assay employed in that work and had a therapeutic index of 12.5. Two other amides, obtained by coupling the same acid with guanidine and cyanoguanidine, were inactive. Because of the development of resistance to chloroquine in many parts of the world by Plasmodium falciparum, there is an increasing need for new antimalarial drugs of novel structural t ~ p e . ~ This J need suggested that examination of additional chemical structures related to 1 for antiplasmodial properties would be of value. I n addition to antimalarial activity, other biological properties have been associated with pentadienoic acid derivatives. The hydrazide of 5-phenylpenta-2,4-dienoic acid has in vitro antituberculous activity,6and a series of the free acids shows inhibitory action against bacteria, yeast, and fungi.' Sorbic acid (2,4-hexadienoic acid) is widely used for its antifungal properties8 (1) This work was supported by t h e U. S. Army Medical Research and Development Command under Contract No. DA-49-193-MO-2150. This contribution is no. 331 from t h e Army Research Program on hlalaria. (2) G. R. Coatney, W. C. Cooper, N. B.
