Determination of unsaturation grade and trans isomers generated during thermal oxidation of edible oils and fats by FTIR
1999
Abstract The oxidative deterioration of culinary oils and fats during episodes of heating associated with normal usage (80°C–300°C, 20–40 min) was monitored by FTIR spectroscopy. The thermal oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids during heating was studied by the determination of unsaturation percentage and trans isomers at various temperatures and heating times. Oils frequently used in food frying such as olive oil, sunflower oil, corn oil and seeds oil (sunflower, safflower and canola seed), and lard were studied. The Absorbance Correction Method is proposed to correct the spectral interference and allows the analytic use of signal which would not be initially valid for quantitative ana…
High yield recombinant production of a self-assembling polycationic peptide for silica biomineralization.
2015
We report the recombinant bacterial expression and purification at high yields of a polycationic oligopeptide, P5S3. The sequence of P5S3 was inspired by a diatom silaffin, a silica precipitating peptide. Like its native model, P5S3 exhibits silica biomineralizing activity, but furthermore has unusual self-assembling properties. P5S3 is efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli as fusion with ketosteroid isomerase (KSI), which causes deposition in inclusion bodies. After breaking the fusion by cyanogen bromide reaction, P5S3 was purified by cation exchange chromatography, taking advantage of the exceptionally high content of basic amino acids. The numerous cationic charges do not prevent, b…
Bile acid–amino acid ester conjugates: gelation, structural properties, and thermoreversible solid to solid phase transition
2010
Design, synthesis, and gelation properties of three novel biocompatible bile acid–L-methionine methyl ester conjugates are presented. Two of the conjugates have been shown to undergo self-assembly leading to organogelation in certain aromatic solvents. The properties of these gels have been investigated by conventional methods typical for molecular gel studies along with 13C CPMAS NMR spectroscopic studies of the native gel. In addition, properties in solid and solution states for all three compounds have been investigated, and single crystal X-ray structures of all compounds determined. Furthermore, powder X-ray diffraction studies have revealed that compound 1 undergoes a dynamic and reve…
Carbazole synthesisviaanin situtrapping strategy with indolyl enol ethers
1994
Indolyl enol ethers, generated from the alkoxy(indolyl)carbenium tetra- fluoroborates (1) by treatment with sodium hydride, can be trapped with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or N-phenylmaleimide to furnish the se- lectively functionalized carbazoles (3), (4), (5), (9), (10), and (13). In addition, the biaryl derivatives (6) and (11) are produced by a ring- opening reaction of the primarily formed Diels-Alder adduct. In the case of the biaryl derivative (6), an X-ray crystal structure analysis yields valuable information on constitutions and configurations in the biaryl series. The phenomenon of atropisomerism is discussed for this compound
Complexes of tryptophan dipeptides with the R2Sn(IV)2+ ion (R=Me, Ph): Spectroscopic studies, solution properties and structural implications
1995
Tryptophan dipeptides such as L-tryptophyl-L-alanine (H 2 TrpAla), L-tryptophyl-L-tyrosine (H 2 TrpTyr), L-tryptophyl-L-tryptophan (H 2 TrpTrp), along with L-histidyl-L-tyrosine (H 2 HisTyr), were reacted with R 2 SnO (R=Me, Ph) yielding the corresponding complexes. The complexes have been characterized by IR and 119 Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy in the solid state and by 1 H and 13 C NMR in CD 3 OD solutions. Monomeric species were detected, with the tin atom arranged in a pentacoordinated trigonal-bipyramidal structure. The dipeptides are coordinated via the terminal amino group, deprotonated peptide nitrogen and terminal carboxylate group. No side-chain appears to be involved in bonding. Det…
On the regioselectivity of the Friedländer reaction leading to huprines: stereospecific acid-promoted isomerization of syn-huprines to their anti-reg…
2001
Abstract Racemic 12-amino-6,7,8,11-tetrahydro-7,11-methanocycloocta[ b ]quinoline derivatives ( syn -huprines) substituted at the 9-position with a methyl or ethyl group, and both enantioenriched forms of the 9-ethyl derivative, obtained by chiral MPLC resolution of the racemic mixture, were readily converted to the corresponding anti -isomers (huprines) by stereospecific acid-promoted (AlCl 3 or triflic acid) isomerization of the endocyclic CC double bond from the 9(10)- to the 8(9)-position. These results support the hypothesis that the hitherto unseen syn -huprines are also formed under the usual acidic Friedlander reaction conditions used to prepare the known huprines, but rearrange in…
The conformation cis of N-acetyl-N-methyl-α,β-dehydroalanine N′-methylamide and saturated analogues
2007
A series of three homologous amino acids derivatives: N-acetyl-N-methyl-α,β–dehydroalanine N′-methylamide (1), N-acetyl-N-methyl-L-alanine N′-methylamide (2), and N-acetyl-N-methyl-DL-alanine N′-methylamide have been synthesised. The racemic species undergoes spontaneous separation into L and D-enantiomers. From these two chiral forms, the structure of L-enantiomer (3) was analysed. The molecules of 1 – 3 adopt the cis arrangement of the N-terminal amide bond. The molecular conformations are similar for 1 (φ, ψ = 94.6(1)°, −1.7(1)°) and 3 (φ, ψ = 111.5(1)°, −23.8(1)°), and also 2 (φ, ψ = −114.8(2)°, 29.5(2)°), if inversion through the chiral C2 carbon is considered. They are stabilised by i…
Conformational investigation of α,β-dehydropeptides. IX. N-Acetyl-(E)-α,β-dehydrobutyrine N′-methylamide: stereoelectronic properties from infrared a…
2009
The Fourier transform infrared spectra of Ac-(E)-deltaAbu-NHMe were analyzed to determine the predominant solution conformation(s) of this (E)-alpha,beta-dehydropeptide-related compound and the electron density perturbation in its amide groups. The measurements were performed in dichloromethane and acetonitrile in the region of mode vs (N-H), amide I, amide II and vs (C(alpha)=Cbeta). The equilibrium geometrical parameters, calculated by a method based on the density functional theory with the B3LYP functional and the 6-31G* basis set, were used to support spectroscopic interpretation and gain some deeper insight into the molecule. The experimental and theoretical data were compared with th…
Die Isomerisierung des Linolsäuremethylesters mit Rhodiumkomplexen
1977
Die isolierten Doppelbindungen des Linolsauremethylesters konnen mit Rhodiumkomplexen und Zinn(II)chlorid-Dihydrat als Katalysatorsystem konjugiert werden. Die Abhangigkeit der Reaktion von verschiedenen Phosphor- und Stickstoffliganden am Rhodium wurde untersucht. Tri-p-tolylphosphin als Ligand ergab den aktivsten Katalysator, der auch noch bei 25°C eine wirkungsvolle Isomerisierung bewirkt. The Isomerisation of Linoleic Acid Methyl Ester with Rhodium Complexes The isolated double bonds of the linoleic acid methyl ester were conjugated with rhodium complexes plus SnCl2 · 2H2O as catalysts. The dependence of the reaction on phosphorous and nitrogen ligands was studied. The most active catal…
Redox-induced coordination isomerization of a phosphoniobenzophospholide.
2003
1-Triphenylphosphoniobenzo[c]phospholide 1 reacts with [M(CO)(5)Br] (M = Mn, Re) and [Mn(CO)(3)(naphthalene)][BF(4)] to give complexes cis-[M(CO)(4)(1)Br] (5 a,b) and [Mn(CO)(3)(1)][BF(4)] (6 a[BF(4)]), respectively, featuring eta(1)(P)- and eta(5)(pi)-coordination of the phosphole ring. The corresponding reactions with [M(2)(CO)(10)] proceed with conservation of the metal-metal bond and yield, depending on the reaction temperature, dinuclear complexes [M(2)(CO)(8)(1)] (M=Mn, 7 a) or [M(2)(CO)(6)(1)(2)] (M=Mn, Re, 8 a,b) with mu(2)-bridging eta(1)(P):eta(2)(Pdbond;C) coordination of the phosphole moiety. All complexes formed were characterized by spectroscopic data; 5 b, 6 a[BF(4)], and 8 a…
