The rate coefficients for the reaction with diazodiphenylmethane, in ethanol at 30.0°, of a number of substituted indole-2-carboxylic acids, indole-3-carboxylic acids, coumarin-3-carboxylic acids, coumarilic acids, and N-phenylglycines have been determined. The effect of substitution is assessed by use of adapted Hammett and Dewar–Grisdale relations. The relations give good correlations for oxygen-ring heterocyclic systems, and the relative ability of the systems to transmit π-electron effects has been determined. An anomalous perturbing effect appears to operate in the indole-carboxylic acid systems.

This study investigates the thermal degradation of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) oligomers into L-lactide(LA)by modification of the oligomer terminal groups. Pure PLLA oligomer (OLLA) was synthesized by condensation polymerization of L-lactic acid. Poly-hydroxyl-terminated OLLA (OLLAPOH) and two-carboxylic acid-terminated OLLA (OLLACOOH) were prepared by adding a small amount of polyfunctional substance, such as 1,4-butanediol, pentaerythritol, or adipic acid, to L-lactic acid. The thermal degradation behaviors of these oligomers were compared at 210-220 °C under 0.3-0.5 kPa. The results show that OLLAPOH has a 10-20% higher yield than OLLA and OLLACOOH. The order of decreasing yield is as follows: OLLAPOH>OLLA >OLLACOOH. The hydroxyl ends of the chains induce the reaction. OLLAPOH simultaneously starts depolymerization from each hydroxyl end to speed up the reaction, to shorten the time the substance remains at high temperature, and to reduce the byproducts. This results in an increased L-lactide yield. A practical approach for L-lactide production by thermal degradation of OLLAPOH is adopted by using a degradation mechanism, which is an unzipping reaction beginning from the hydroxyl ends of the chains.

The accumulation of carboxylic acids from glucose was measured by incubat-ing pre-implantation mouse embryos in [U-14C]glucose and separating the carboxylic acids by liquid-liquid partition chromatography. Lactic acid was the main carboxylic acid accumulated. The one-cell zygote produced five times as much lactate as the unfertilized ovum, and during subsequent development lactate accumulation increased substantially.

Thirteen Lactobacillus and five Pediococcus strains were shown to produce an antimicrobial agent, 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid (PCA). PCA inhibited many spoilage bacteria, particularly Enterobacter cloacae 1575, Pseudomonas fluorescens KJLG, and P. putida 1560-2. The antimicrobial activity of PCA did not change at higher temperatures. However, the activity was destroyed rapidly by neutralization with ammonium hydroxide. PCA showed slightly lower antimicrobial activity than lactic acid.
