The distillable esters of heated linseed oil contain a fraction, designated NAFD, which fails to form an adduct with urea. NAFD itself has now been separated into three fractions by gas-liquid partition chromatography. The chemical structure of these component esters was investigated by means of their infrared spectra and by analysis of the products obtained on oxidation of the esters with periodate–permanganate. It is concluded that all the components have the same carbon skeleton, namely, 1-propyl-2-alkenecarboxycyclohexene, but differ in the position of the double bond in the side chain.

Background: Vietnam currently imports up to 90% of the pharmaceuticals it consumes and 100% of the steroid-based pharmaceuticals. The ability for efficient chemical synthesis of the steroids could create commercial opportunities to address this issue. Synthesis of 21-acetoxypregna-1,4,9(11)- triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione is considered a key intermediate in the scheme of steroidal drug synthesis. Previous synthesis attempts of such steroids (corticoids) introduce a double bond at C-1(2) in the final stage of synthesis, which delivers a poor yield and reduces the economic efficiency of the process. Objective: To study and develop a novel and effective method for the synthesis of 21-acetoxypregna- 1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione. Methods: Using 9α-hydroxyandrostenedione as a substrate chemical synthesis was performed as follows: pregnane side chain construction at C-17 (acetylene method), introduction of C-1(2) double bond (using SeO2), epimerization of C-17 (via 17-ONO2 ester) and Stork’s iodination. Results: 21-acetoxypregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione was prepared from 9α- hydroxyandrostenedione with an improved yield compared to previous attempts. Conclusion: Here, 21-acetoxypregna-1,4,9(11)-triene-17α,21-diol-3,20-dione has been synthesized from 9α-hydroxyandrostenedione based on a novel, effective and commercially feasible scheme. The introduction of the C-1(2) double bond at an earlier stage of the synthesis has increased the economic efficiency of the entire process. For the first time, the indirect epimerization mechanism has been clarified along with the configuration of the C-17 stereo-center which has been confirmed using NOESY data.

We used atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study polyelectrolyte brushes based on anionic α,L-glutamic acid and α,L-aspartic acid grafted on cellulose in the presence of divalent CaCl2 salt at different concentrations. The motivation is to search for ways to control properties such as sorption capacity and the structural response of the brush to multivalent salts. For this detailed understanding of the role of side-chain length, the chemical structure and their interplay are required. It was found that in the case of glutamic acid oligomers, the longer side chains facilitate attractive interactions with the cellulose surface, which forces the grafted chains to lie down on the surface. The additional methylene group in the side chain enables side-chain rotation, enhancing this effect. On the other hand, the shorter and more restricted side chains of aspartic acid oligomers prevent attractive interactions to a large degree and push the grafted chains away from the surface. The difference in side-chain length also leads to differences in other properties of the brush in divalent salt solutions. At a low grafting density, the longer side chains of glutamic acid allow the adsorbed cations to be spatially distributed inside the brush resulting in a charge inversion. With an increase in grafting density, the difference in the total charge of the aspartic and glutamine brushes disappears, but new structural features appear. The longer sides allow for ion bridging between the grafted chains and the cellulose surface without a significant change in main-chain conformation. This leads to the brush structure being less sensitive to changes in salt concentration.

: For several decades, biotransformational studies on steroidal compounds have gained a lot of attention because it is an efficient approach for the structural modification of complicated natural or synthetic compounds with high regio-, chemo- and stereoselectivity at environmentally friendly conditions. This review summarizes the use of different strains of Cunninghamella blakesleeana for the biotransformation of sixteen steroids 1-16 into a variety of transformed products. The transformed products may be important as a drug or precursor for the production of important pharmaceuticals. The types of reactions performed by C. blakesleeana include hydroxylation, epoxidation, reduction, demethylation, oxidation, glycosidation, double bond formation, side-chain degradation, isomerisation and opening of an isoxazol ring, which would be difficult to produce by traditional synthesis.

ABSTRACT Sixty-one strains of alkane-oxidizing bacteria were tested for their ability to oxidize N-(2-hexylamino-4-phenylimidazol-1-yl)-acetamide to imidazol-2-yl amino acids applicable for pharmaceutical purposes. After growth with n-alkane, 15 strains formed different imidazol-2-yl amino acids identified by chemical structure analysis (mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry). High yields of imidazol-2-yl amino acids were produced by the strains Gordonia rubropertincta SBUG 105, Gordonia terrae SBUG 253, Nocardia asteroides SBUG 175, Rhodococcus erythropolis SBUG 251, and Rhodococcus erythropolis SBUG 254. Biotransformation occurred via oxidation of the alkyl side chain and produced 1-acetylamino-4-phenylimidazol-2-yl-6-aminohexanoic acid and the butanoic acid derivative. In addition, the acetylamino group of these products and of the substrate was transformed to an amino group. The product pattern as well as the transformation pathway of N-(2-hexylamino-4-phenylimidazol-1-yl)-acetamide differed in the various strains used.

Dietary intake of Brassicaceae (Crucifers) provides not only nutrients, but also a highly interesting class of secondary metabolites beneficial to health, known as glucosinolates (GLs). These compounds possess a -D-glucopyranosyl unit connected to a O-sulfated anomeric Z-thiohydroximate function, and a side chain R which is the only variable part of the chemical structure. Up to now, more than 120 naturally-occurring GLs have been carachterized

In order to elucidate chemical structure-odor correlation in the all isomers of n-nonen-1- ols, an entire series of these alcohols were synthesized stereo-selectively in high purity. For unequivocal syntheses of them, geometrically selective hydrogenation of the respective acetylenic compound was adopted. The synthesized alcohols were converted to their 3,5-dinitrobenzoate derivatives with 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride, and then purified by repeated recrystallization. Chemical structure-odor correlations in all the isomers of n-nonen-1-ols were elucidated by introducing a novel method to evaluate odor characteristics and by treating the obtained data statistically with the principal component analysis method (Cramer et al., 1988). The odor profiles of the tested compounds were attributable largely to the positions of the carbon- double bond. The geometries of compounds had only a little effect. With the principal component analysis, the odor profiles of the series of compounds were successfully integrated into the first and the second principal components. The first component (PC-1) consisted of combined characteristics of fruity, fresh, sweet, herbal and oily-fatty, in which herbal and oily-fatty were conversely correlated each other to the position of double-bond of the tested compounds. Of these, only (6Z)-nonen-1-ol deviated markedly from the correlation, indicative of some special interaction between the spatial structure of this compound and the sensory machinery of human.

Based on the analysis of the chemical structure of polycarboxylate-type SPs grafted PEO side chains, as well as sulfonic and carboxylic acid groups, a kind of polycarboxylate-based SPs grafted varied PEO side chains were synthesized by using radical polymerisation techniques.The relative dispersing effectiveness of the SPs was evaluated in cement paste and concrete by measuring paste flow and concrete slumps. The test results indicat that the copolymers with shorter PEO side chains (with 9 and 14 EO units) give lower initial dispersing power but higher time retention,with the prolonging of PEO side chains the higher initial dispersing effect and the lower time retention can be received. The excellent dispersing property and time retention of synthesized SPs for cementious systems can be achieved by grafted long side chain(with 45 EO units) integrated with short side chain(9 or 14 EO) at the backbone of anionic polymer.

The conjugated triene side-chain of ebelin lactone has been degraded in a stepwise manner using osmium tetroxide. A new isomer of ebelin lactone has been isolated from the sapogenin mixture and has been assigned the structure (9) in which the 25(26) double bond has the cis configuration. Autoxidation of ebelin lactone in the solid state yields a mixture from which three compounds have been isolated and identified; all three arise from oxidation of the side-chain at the terminal double bond and methyl groups.
