The Structure and the Stereochemistry of Atractyliretin
1986
The nor-kaurane diterpene Atractyliretin was obtained by acid hydrolysis of Atractyloside, a toxic substance isolated from ATRACTYLIS GUMMIFERA L (Compositae). On the basis of spectral (IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR and MS) analysis and chemical degradation its structure and stereochemistry was identified as 4.
A Generalized Synthesis of 3-Amino-5-aryl-, 3-Amino-5-polyfluorophenyl-, and 3-Amino-5-alkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles through Ring-degenerate Rearrangements
2002
A generalized synthesis of 3-amino-5-aryl-, 3-amino-5-poly- fluorophenyl- and 3-amino-5-alkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles has been developed starting from the 3-amino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole as a common synthon. Aroylation or alkanoylation of this aminooxadiazole, followed by thermally- induced ring-degenerate equilibration of resulting 3-acylamino compounds, and final acid hydrolysis of the 3-acetylamino-5-aryl- (or 5-polyfluorophenyl-), or 3- acetylamino-5-alkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles counterpart which is formed, gave the expected 3-amino-5-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. In the case of some 3- aroylamino compounds, yields of final 3-amino-5-aryloxadiazoles are higher than that expected on the basis of…
Direct infusion mass spectrometry as a fingerprint of protein-binding media used in works of art
2005
A direct infusion mass spectrometry method for the characterization of proteinaceous glues from binding media used in pictorial works of art prior to conservation or restoration treatment is proposed. Amino acids are released by acid hydrolysis and dissolved in a mixture of acidic water and ethanol. This mixture is directly infused into a mass spectrometer without any derivatization. The mass spectrometer is operated in positive ion electrospray mode (ESI-MS) to yield [M+H]+ ions for the amino acids. Relative amounts of each amino acid are calculated for each protein (beef and porcine gelatines, albumin, casein and egg). The analyzed proteins were satisfactorily distinguished. The method is…
Regioselective substitution of 6,7-dichloroquinoline-5,8-dione: synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of 4a,10,11-triazabenzo[3,2-a]fluorene-5,6-dion…
2003
6,7-Dichloroquinoline-5,8-dione (1) was reacted with a number of 2-aminopyridine derivatives. Of the several possible products of this reaction, 4a,10,11-triazabenzo[3,2-a]fluorene-5,6-dione (6), produced by condensation and rearrangement, was obtained as the major product, and its structure was subsequently unambigously determined by X-ray crystallographic study. Ortho-quinones were produced via nucleophilic substitution at position C7, which was unexpected, considering that para-quinones were produced via C6 substitution in the reaction between compound 1 and ethyl acetoacetate in our previous work. Such unexpected nucleophilic substitution at C7 provides an effective, yet simple route, t…
On the Reaction of 3-Bromo-2-nitrobenzo[b]thiophene 13C-Labeled at C-2 with 3-(Trifluoromethyl)aniline: A Preliminary Insight into a Nucleophilic Su…
1997
The results of the title reaction have furnished proofs against a rearrangement of the carbon-atom skeleton and for a nitro group shift in the relevant nucleophilic substitution.
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Reactivity of New β-Enamino Acid Derivatives: A Simple and General Approach to β-Enamino Esters and Thioesters.
2010
A new strategy has been developed for the synthesis of several β-enamino acid derivatives. N,N‘-Carbonyldiimidazole has been used as C-acylating agent of methyl ketimines, providing a direct and simple route to new β-enamino carbonyl imidazole derivatives 2. These derivatives 2 were cleanly and efficiently transformed into β-enamino esters 4 (X = O) and thioesters 4 (X = S) by reaction with a great variety of alcohols and thiols, including tertiary ones. Alternative and complementary routes to compounds 4 were also investigated. In addition, β-keto esters 6 have been obtained by mild acid hydrolysis of β-enamino esters 4.
Reactivity of cellulose during hydrothermal carbonization of lignocellulosic biomass
2020
Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of pure cellulose (CE) and birchwood (BW) samples was carried out at temperatures between 160 and 280 °C, 0.5 h residence time and biomass-to-water ratio 1:5, to investigate the reactivity of cellulose in lignocellulosic biomass. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that the CE samples remained unaltered at temperatures up to 220 °C, but were significantly decomposed at 230 °C producing a thermal recalcitrant aromatic and high energy-dense material. FTIR showed that dehydration and aromatization reactions occurred at temperature equal or higher than 230 °C for the CE samples while a similar incre…
Modelling hydrolysis: Simultaneous versus sequential biodegradation of the hydrolysable fractions
2018
Hydrolysis is considered the limiting step during solid waste anaerobic digestion (including co-digestion of sludge and biosolids). Mechanisms of hydrolysis are mechanistically not well understood with detrimental impact on model predictive capability. The common approach to multiple substrates is to consider simultaneous degradation of the substrates. This may not have the capacity to separate the different kinetics. Sequential degradation of substrates is theoretically supported by microbial capacity and the composite nature of substrates (bioaccessibility concept). However, this has not been experimentally assessed. Sequential chemical fractionation has been successfully used to define i…

Formation of Aroma by Hydrolysis of Glycosidically Bound Components
1992
SUMMARY Acid hydrolysis has been used in order to establish the presence of glycosidically bound components in fruits. During this treatment, rearrangement reactions of free monoterpene alcohols generally occur. This inconvenient may be avoided using enzymatic hydrolysis, however the specificity of enzymes requires the previous knowledge of the structures of compounds used as substrates in order to control the reaction. Several glycosidically bound components, glucosides, rutinosides and arabinoglucosides present in grapes and apricot were isolated, separated and identified using non destructive methods, MS-MS low energy CAD spectra and HPLC. s-D-glucosidase, α-L-rhamnosidase, α-L-arabinase…
