In addition to stereodefined cis-cyclopentenones, the rearrangement of naturally-occurring vinyl allene oxides can provide ketols, cyclopropylcarbinols, and Favorskii-type bis-(Z)-but-2-en-1-yl acetic acids. These processes have been studied by DFT computations using...

A computational study of the rearrangement of vinyl allene oxides of biological relevance, which include alkyl (methyl, propyl) or unsaturated groups (allyl, crotyl) attached to the Csp3 atom has revealed interesting insights into the formation of naturally occurring cyclopentenones.

Abstract The uropygial gland waxes of the South American red-legged Seriema (Cariama cristata (L., 1766)) were found to be composed of unbranched alcohols and 2,2′-dialkyl-substituted acetic acids which so far have not been found in skin lipids. When used as a chemosystematic character, the occurrence of this lipid class separates the order Cariamiformes (Seriemas) from all other avian orders hitherto investigated, especially from the Gruiformes (cranes and rails) to which they have been tentatively attributed in the past. From the GC retention time data now available for a series of 2-alkyl-substituted fatty acid methyl esters relative retention time indices for other compounds may be predicted.

The present work describing the electronic properties and vibrational characteristics of carboxylic acids. Acetic acid is chosen as model molecules then optimized at B3LYP/6-31g(d,p) level of theory. The vibrational frequencies were calculated at the same level of theory. Band assignments which were calculated as 18 normal modes were assigned as one compare the normal mode coordinates with original one. Band assignments were described indicating the directions of normal modes in terms the vibrating atoms of the acetic acids. It could be concluded that DFT could be a useful tool for elucidation both the structural and vibrational features of carboxylic acids and then further utilized for assignment of the structures contains carboxyl groups which are known as most reactive structures in chemistry, biology and environment.

Abstract. We present a detailed budget of formic and acetic acids, two of the most abundant trace gases in the atmosphere. Our bottom-up estimate of the global source of formic and acetic acids are ~1200 and ~1400 Gmol/yr, dominated by photochemical oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds, in particular isoprene. Their sinks are dominated by wet and dry deposition. We use the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model to evaluate this budget against an extensive suite of measurements from ground, ship and satellite-based Fourier transform spectrometers, as well as from several aircraft campaigns over North America. The model captures the seasonality of formic and acetic acids well but generally underestimates their concentration, particularly in the Northern midlatitudes. We infer that the source of both carboxylic acids may be up to 50% greater than our estimate and report evidence for a long-lived missing secondary source of carboxylic acids that may be associated with the aging of organic aerosols. Vertical profiles of formic acid in the upper troposphere support a negative temperature dependence of the reaction between formic acid and the hydroxyl radical as suggested by several theoretical studies.

Two Australian members of the genus Erigeron L. (Compositae, tribe Astereae) have been investigated with particular regard to their content of acetylenic compounds. E. conyzoides F. Muell. contained the methyl esters (I) and (II) of acetylenic carboxylic acids and their corresponding lactones (III) and (IV) and in this resemble the numerous Erigeron spp. of the northern hemisphere investigated earlier. Of the collective species E. pappochroma Labill. three Tasmanian and two Snowy Mountain collections were investigated. None of them contained the acetylenic compounds characteristic of typical Erigeron. Three of these collections contained some simple acetylenic alcohols, (V)-(IX); some of these are characteristic compounds of other genera of the tribus Astereae. In two collections acetylenic compounds were seemingly absent; but dill apiol (XI) was found in appreciable amounts.

A new methodology for the synthesis of substituted carboxylic acids is described. Alkylation of either ethyl (benzothiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)acetate or ethyl 2-(benzothiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)propionate was achieved with alkyl halides and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in dichloromethane solution. These products were then desulfinated and hydrolysed in one-pot under mild conditions to give substituted acetic acids in good-to-excellent yields.
