... A highly selective catalytic, one-step synthesis converts oleic acid into 9(10)-carboxystearic acid in high yields (85-99%). Hydrocarboxylation with water and carbon monoxide under pressure (3000-4000 psi) is catalyzed with a mixture of palladium chloride and triphenylphosphine at 120-150 C with or without acetone or acetic acid solvents. Palladium supported on carbon is also an effective hydrocar ...
... Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry studies of fulvic and humic acids from different soils: Calcic Rhodoxeralf, Typic Xerochrept, Typic Chromoxeret, Andic Hapludult, Humic Haplorthod, Typic Haplorthod and a Canadian Orthic Humo-Ferric Podzol were made. Samples were pyrolyzed at 700°C for 10 sec, and low boiling point compounds were separated in a Chromosorb 102 column. Peaks were identi ...
... The residual biodegradation produces of wheat straw lignin attacked by Cyathus stercoreus for thirty days were identified. Low-molecular-weight nonvolatile materials constituted less than 5% of the total 14C released from labeled lignin. In this portion, syringic acid, vanillic acid, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, acetic acid, and 2-methoxy-succinic acid were found. The majority of the water-soluble biod ...
... Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are proposed to have several beneficial effects, including the inactivation of carcinogens. We have studied the potential of Lactobacillus acidophilus (from a commercially available yogurt), Lactobacillus gasseri (P79), Lactobacillus confusus (DSM 20196), Streptococcus thermophilus (NCIM 50083), Bifidobacterium breve and Bifidobacterium longum (from human infant stool) t ...
... 6-Aryl-5-cyano-4-pyrimidinon-2-thione derivatives1a-c reacted with ethyl iodide to give the corresponded 2-S-ethylpyrimidin-4-one derivatives2a-c. Compounds2a-c was, in turn, reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give the sulfur free reaction products,3a-c. These reaction products were taken as the starting materials for the synthesis of several newly synthesized heterocyclic derivatives. Reactions wi ...

Abstract:
... Single crystals of gossypol with three molecules of acetic acid (gossypol triacetic acid) were grown from solutions of gossypol acetic acid and acetone. The crystals were unstable in air but could be stabilized for X-ray diffraction analysis by coating the crystal surfaces with a thin layer of mineral oil. The gossypol triacetic acid complex (C₃₀H₃₀O₈·3C₂H₄O₂) forms an orthorhombic crystal system ...
... Reactions of formaldehyde (HCHO), acetic acid (CH₃COOH), 2-propanol (2-PrOH), and glucose with some metal oxides (CeO₂, MoO₃, TiO₂, and ZrO₂) were conducted in supercritical water at 673 K and 25–35 MPa, using batch reactors. For the reactions of HCHO, CeO₂ and ZrO₂ showed basicity, on the other hand, MoO₃ and TiO₂ were acid catalysts. ZrO₂ catalyst promoted bimolecular decarboxylation of CH₃COOH ...
... The dehydration of d-fructose (1) to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF, 2) is a well known reaction (acid-induced elimination of three moles of water), performed by many investigators during the last three decades.1,2 HMF and its oxidation product 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid are so called ‘sleeping giants’ in the field of intermediate chemicals from regrowing resources. HMF is a key substance between ca ...
... Two commercially available starter culture systems, Alp DIP and a mixture of Alp DIP D and Joghurt V1, were compared with a regular starter culture, CH-1, for their effects on lipolysis and volatile compounds in a low-fat (9.5%), high moisture (49.6%) Kefalograviera-type cheese during aging. A full-fat control Kefalograviera cheese (30.8% fat, 37.8% moisture) was also made with the regular starter ...
... A study on the feasibility of using improved computer-controlled HPLC and GC systems was carried out to shorten the time needed for measuring levels of the substrates (glucose, maltose, and glycerol) and products (acetone, butanol ethanol, acetic acid, and butyric acid) produced by Clostridium saccharobutylicum DSM 13864 during direct fermentation of sago starch to solvent. The use of HPLC system ...
... A new method (NMM, using acetic acid fiber filter and 90% ethanol) was established to determine chlorophyll in freshwater algae, and it was compared with US standard method (USM, using glass fiber filter and 90% acetone) and the method recommend by EPA of China (CHM, using acetic acid fiber filter and 90% acetone). The precision and repeatability of NMM is equivalent to that of USM, but NMM is saf ...
... Characteristics of four types of yoghurt made from ovine milk containing 6.6%, 3.8%, 2.3%, or 0.9% fat respectively were studied. The yoghurt produced from ovine milk with high fat had the highest flavour and texture scores, fat and total solids content and firmness, but the lowest syneresis, lactic acid and galactose content. Low-fat yoghurts can be successfully produced from homogenised ovine mi ...
... ACN is an extremely poor hydrogen bond donor and therefore the anions dissolved in it are solvated mainly by other hydrogen bond donors (e.g. uncharged acids) possibly present in the solution. Under properly selected experimental conditions stabilization via hydrogen bonding can be used for separation in CE as has been demonstrated for uncharged acids by several authors. Electromigration based on ...
... Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from Norway spruce (Picea abies) saplings were monitored in response to a temperature ramp. Online measurements were made with a proton transfer reaction - mass spectrometer under controlled conditions, together with plant physiological variables. Masses corresponding to acetic acid and acetone were the most emitted VOCs. The emission rates of m137 (monote ...
... The chemical stability of haloperidol lactate injection was studied under different storage conditions by high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). The study was performed at 25 ± 2°C and at refrigeration temperature (8 ± 1°C) in original glass ampoules over 15 days after being opened. The samples tested at 25 ± 2°C were stored with exposure to and protection from light. Chromatographic ...
... The effects of two mineral and two organic acids, four organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, 2-propano and acetone) and three inorganic metal salts in combination with temperature regimes 0 and 22C on the yield and resolubility of potato tuber proteins were studied. Using acids, the yield of precipitated protein ranged from 22.3% (citric acid, 0C) to 54.5% (acetic acid, 22C) of total protein; howev ...
... Production of acetone, butanol, ethanol, acetic acid, and butyric acid by three strains of anaerobic bacteria, which we identified as Clostridium acetobutylicum, was studied. The yield of acetone and alcohols in 6% wheat flour medium amounted to 12.7-15 g/l with butanol constituting 51.0-55.6%. Activities of these strains towards xylan, β-glucan, carboxymethylcellulose, and crystalline and amorpho ...
... Information about soil VOC inventories and exchange rates in different soils is very scarce. Seasonality of soil VOC exchange rates is also largely unknown, despite the increasing interest in some soil volatile compounds, such as monoterpenes, because of their important role in soil ecology. We aimed to explore and quantify soil VOC exchange rates in a Mediterranean shrubland and their seasonality ...
