Two independent routes towards (2S)-3-(indol-3-yl)propane-1,2-diol (11) were achieved starting from 3,5-di-O-acetyl-1,2-O-cyclohexylidene-α-D-xylofuranose (1). Ethanethiolysis of 1 afforded acyclic diethyl dithioacetal 2 which was further O-deacetylated to give 3. Selective benzoylation of 3 gave 5-O-benzoyl derivative 4. Treatment of 4 with N-bromosuccinimide in methanol gave methyl furanoside 5 which was further desulfurized over Raney nickel to afford 6. An acid hydrolysis of 6 gave hemiacetal 7 which upon treatment with phenylhydrazine, according to standard Fischer indolization procedure, yielded a mixture of chiral indoles 10. O-Debenzoylation of 10 gave the crystalline diol 11. A more efficient route towards the chiral indole 11 included the initial dethioacetalation of 2 into dimethyl acetal 8 which was further desulfurized over Raney nickel to give the corresponding 2,3-dideoxy derivative 9. Direct Fischer indolization of 9 with phenylhydrazine, followed by O-deacetylation of intermediate 12, afforded the expected indole 11 in good yield.

Bromination of 3α,12α-diacetoxypregnan-20-one ethylene ketal provided in good yield the corresponding 21-monobromo compound. This product, on acid hydrolysis and subsequent acetolysis, gave the known 3α,12α,21-triacetoxypregnan-20-one. Acid hydrolysis of the bromoketal, followed by Faworsky rearrangement, led to 3α,12α-diacetoxy-17α-methyletiocholanic acid methyl ester.

Acid hydrolysis of 6-ethynylpteridine catalyzed by mercury oxide gives 6-acetyl-2-amino-3,4-dihydropteridin-4-one in good yield. Partial reduction of the product with dissolved Al in NH3 solution afforded sepiapterin-C.

ABSTRACT A procedure for the quantitative determination of 5β-pregnan-3α-ol-20-one in urine is described. After acid hydrolysis of the pregnanolone-conjugates in urine, the free steroids are extracted with toluene. Pregnanolone is isolated in a pure form as its acetate; after chromatographic separation of the free steroids on alumina, the fraction containing pregnanolone is acetylated and rechromatographed on alumina. Quantitative determination of the isolated pregnanolone-acetate is carried out with the aid of the infrared spectrum recorded by a micro KBr-wafermethod. The reliability of the method under various conditions is discussed under the headings, specificity, accuracy, precision and sensitivity. It is possible to determine 30–40 μg pregnanolone in a 24-hours urine portion with a precision of 25%.

Abstract Background Burning fast-growing trees for energy production can be an effective alternative to coal combustion. Thus, lignocellulosic material, which can be used to obtain chemicals with a high added value, is highly abundant, easily renewed and usually inexpensive. In this work, hemicellulose extraction by acid hydrolysis of plant biomass from three different crops (Chamaecytisus proliferus, Leucaena diversifolia and Paulownia trihybrid) was modelled and the resulting solid residues were used for energy production. Results The influence of the nature of the lignocellulosic raw material and the operating conditions used to extract the hemicellulose fraction on the heat capacity and activation energy of the subsequent combustion process was examined. The heat power and the activation energy of the combustion process were found to depend markedly on the hemicellulose content of the raw material. Thus, a low content in hemicelluloses resulted in a lower increased energy yield after acid hydrolysis stage. The process was also influenced by the operating conditions of the acid hydrolysis treatment, which increased the gross calorific value (GCV) of the solid residue by 0.6–9.7% relative to the starting material. In addition, the activation energy of combustion of the acid hydrolysis residues from Chamaecytisus proliferus (Tagasaste) and Paulownia trihybrid (Paulownia) was considerably lower than that for the starting materials, the difference increasing with increasing degree of conversion as well as with increasing temperature and acid concentration in the acid hydrolysis. The activation energy of combustion of the solid residues from acid hydrolysis of tagasaste and paulownia decreased markedly with increasing degree of conversion, and also with increasing temperature and acid concentration in the acid hydrolysis treatment. No similar trend was observed in Leucaena diversifolia (Leucaena) owing to its low content in hemicelluloses. Conclusions Acid hydrolysis of tagasaste, leucaena and paulownia provided a valorizable liquor containing a large amount of hemicelluloses and a solid residue with an increased heat power amenable to efficient valorization by combustion. There are many potential applications of the hemicelluloses-rich and lignin-rich fraction, for example as multi-components of bio-based feedstocks for 3D printing, for energy and other value-added chemicals.
