Aspergillus indicus grown on a semi-synthetic medium produces a number of metabolites including kojic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, β-nitropropionic acid, indazonic acids, fumaryl-~danine, and dihydrocanadensolide. The last compound is shown to have the formula (I) and is biosynthesized in part from "acetate" units; the rest of the molecule may come from pyruvic acid.

Organic acids produced during fermentative growth of many lactose-negative members of Enterobacteriaceae have been determined quantitatively by thin-layer chromatography. Nearly all organisms examined elaborated succinic acid and many also produced fumaric and (or) pyruvic acid in varying ratios. Some differentiation of the genera could be achieved by calculation of the ratio of succinic/fumaric acid or succinic/pyruvic acid. Anaerogenic Salmonella strains and all Shigella species exhibited a succinic to fumaric acid ratio of less than 1.0. Aerogenic Salmonella strains yielded a succinic to fumaric acid ratio of 2.3 to 4.3. Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis were the only species examined that produced pyruvic acid in addition to succinic acid and fumaric acid. Strains of Edwardsiella tarda showed a broad range of succinic to fumaric acid ratios from 2.4 to 8.5. The single strain of Providencia alcalifaciens that was examined yielded only succinic acid and could be readily differentiated from other organisms examined.

Abstract A method was developed for simultaneous gas chromatographic determination of sorbic acid, dehydroacetic acid, and benzoic acid used as preservatives, and succinic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid used as acidulants in soft drinks and jams. A sample was dissolved in NH4OH-NH4CI pH 9 buffer solution, and an aliquot of the solution was passed through a QAE-Sephadex A 25 column. The column was washed with water, and the carboxylic acids were eluted with 0.1N HC1. Sorbic acid, dehydroacetic acid, and benzoic acid were extracted with ethyl ether-petroleum ether (1 + 1), and determined on a 5% DEGS + 1% H3PO4 column. Succinic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid in the lower layer were derivatized with N,0- bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide and trimethylchlorosilane, and determined on a 3% SE-30 column. Recoveries from soft drink and jam samples fortified with 0.1% each of 7 carboxylic acids ranged from 92.4 to 102.6% for preservatives, and from 88.1 to 103.2% for acidulants.

AbstractIn this article nanoscaled polyanilines (PANI) were prepared based on template-free method in the presence of dicarboxylic acid dopants (e.g. D-tartaric acid, succinic acid, maleic acid and fumaric acid). The trans-cis isomerization of butenedioic acid played an important role in the formation of nanostructures from the plane-like to nanofibers, and the PANI doped with maleic acid (MA) had larger diameter, higher crystallinity and conductivity than PANI doped with fumaric acid (FA).

Approaches to the synthesis of diselenols have led to isolation of several new organoselenium compounds. Removal of mercury, as HgS, from [1,3-diselenylpropan-2-olato(2–)-Se,Sel]-mercury(II) results in decomposition of the organoselenium fragment to selenetan-3-ol, 1,3-Dibromopropan-2-ol reacts with KSeCN to form 1-bromo-3-selenocyanatopropan-2-ol; the selenoethers 2-(benzyl- se1eno)fumaric acid [(Z)-PhCH2SeC(CO2H)=CHCO2H] and 2-(benzylseleno)succinic acid [PhCH2SeCH(CO2H)CH2CO2H] are formed by base-catalysed reaction of phenylmethaneselenol with acetylenedicarboxylic acid and maleic acid, respectively. The conformations adopted by PhCH2XCH(CO2H)CH2CO2H (X = S, Se) in acetone have been determined by 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy.
