Stereoselective Total Synthesis and Absolute Configuration of the Natural Decanolides (−)-Microcarpalide and (+)-Lethaloxin. Identity of (+)-Lethalox…

2005

[reaction: see text] Convergent, stereoselective syntheses of the pharmacologically active, naturally occurring lactones (-)-microcarpalide and (+)-lethaloxin have been achieved from the commercially available, chiral reagents (R)-glycidol, (S,S)-tartaric acid, and d-ribose as the starting materials. These syntheses have further served to establish the hitherto unknown absolute configuration of (+)-lethaloxin and to show its identity with (+)-pinolidoxin.

Evolution of intermolecular contacts with temperature and pressure in bromoethane and iodo­ethane – a comparative study

2022

At ambient conditions two liquids, bromo­ethane, C2H5Br (MBE, m.p. 154.6 K) and iodo­ethane, C2H5I (MIE, m.p. 162.1 K), have been crystallized under both isobaric and isochoric conditions using in situ low-temperature and high-pressure techniques. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, supported by the isothermal compressibility and isobaric differential scanning calorimetry measurements, allowed the monitoring and analysis at low temperature and high pressure of the effects of externally induced changes in MBE and MIE. The monoclinic MBE and MIE crystals are found to be isostructural. They are stable, in the investigated regimes, i.e. down to 100 K/0.1 MPa and up to ∼295 K/3.7 GPa, …

On the influence of the acid-base character of catalysts on the oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes

1996

Vanadium oxides supported on metal oxide, i.e. Al2O3, MgO and Mg-Al mixed oxide, and V-containing microporous materials (VAPO-5 and MgVAPO-5) have been tested in the oxidative dehydrogenation of C2-C4 alkanes. In all cases, tetrahedral vanadium species (isolated and/or associated) were mainly observed from51V-NMR and diffuse reflectance spectroscopies. The reducibility of V5+-species, determined from the onset-reduction temperature, decreases as follows: VOx/AL > VAPO-5 > MgVAPO-5 =VOx/MG > VOx/MG + AL. The acid character of catalysts, determined from the FTIR spectra of pyridine adsorbed, decreases as: MgVAPO-5 > VOx/AL > VAPO-5 > VOx/MG + AL > VOx/MG. A similar trend between V-reducibilit…

Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), poly(butylmethacrylate) (PBMA), and poly(decylmethacrylate) (PDMA) are completely miscible with toluene at normal pressure from room temperature up to the boiling point of the solvent. In alkanes (C6 to C10) and 1-pentanol the solubility increases with the length of the side chain of the polymer: PMMA always exhibits a solubility gap within the above temperature range, PBMA shows upper critical solution temperatures (except n-hexane, which is a non-solvent), and PDMA mixes completely with all alkanes under consideration. Alcohols (up to C4) are non-solvents for PMMA but theta solvents for PBMA and PDMA (except ethanol which is a non-solvent for the latter). …

Preparation and characterisation of Na 2 S and ZnSO 4 nanoparticles in water/sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulphosuccinate/ n -heptane microemulsions

2001

The preparation procedure for nanoparticles of the water-soluble salts Na2S and ZnSO4, two commonly used reagents to synthesise ZnS nanoparticles, by evaporation of volatile components of salt-containing water-in-oil microemulsions is described. In suitable conditions, the evaporation leads to the formation of dry salt–surfactant composites and to the formation of Na2S or ZnSO4 nanoparticles. It was found that the salt–surfactant composites can be totally redissolved in a dry apolar organic solvent allowing the formation of virtually water-free solutions containing a considerable amount of the water-soluble salts. The presence of nanoparticles in these solutions and in the composites has be…

Exposure to Perfluoroalkyl Substances and Metabolic Outcomes in Pregnant Women: Evidence from the Spanish INMA Birth Cohorts

2017

BACKGROUND: Exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) may increase risk for metabolic diseases; however, epidemiologic evidence is lacking at the present time. Pregnancy is a period of enhanced tissue plasticity for the fetus and the mother and may be a critical window of PFAS exposure susceptibility. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the associations between PFAS exposures and metabolic outcomes in pregnant women. METHODS: We analyzed 1,240 pregnant women from the Spanish INMA [Environment and Childhood Project (INfancia y Medio Ambiente)] birth cohort study (recruitment period: 2003-2008) with measured first pregnancy trimester plasma concentrations of four PFASs (in nanograms/milliliter). We u…

Group contributions to the infinite dilution partial molar volumes of alkanes, alcohols, and glycols in polar organic solvents

1997

Densities of binary mixtures of polar organic solvents with alcohols were measured at 25‡C. The solvents studied were N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, and formamide while alcohols were butanol, pentanol, hexanol, and 1,4-butanediol. Density measurements of hydrocarbons (from pentane to dodecane and some heptane isomers) + N,N-dimethylformamide were also performed. From these data the apparent molar volumes of alcohols and hydrocarbons as functions of concentration were calculated. The standard partial molar volumes were obtained by extrapolation to infinite dilution and are discussed in terms of group contributions.
