Provided herein are novel synthetic compounds having the structure of formula (1), wherein X is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic or heteroaromatic mono- or polycyclic ring system; and Y is substituted or unsubstituted C-Calkyl or alkenyl group, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions are useful for inhibiting growth of a bacterium.

Synthetic antibacterial compounds and uses thereof

The present application describes process for preparing an ortho-allylated hydroxy aryl compounds such as compounds of Formula (I) by reacting an allylic alcohol with a hydroxy aryl compound in the presence of aluminum compound selected from alumina and aluminum alkoxides and in a non-protic solvent wherein at least one carbon atom ortho to the hydroxy group in the hydroxy aryl compound is unsubstituted. The present application also includes compounds of Formula (I).
