Microwave Enhanced Knoevenagel Condensation of Barbituric Acid with Aromatic Aldehydes on Basic Alumina

Efficient Knoevenagel condensation of barbituric acid with different aromatic aldehydes on basic alumina was performed in a conventional microwave over in the absence of solvent.

Kinetic Studies of Condensation of Aromatic Aldehydes with Meldrum’s Acid

The condensation reaction of Meldrum’s acid with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of a catalyst has been investigated spectrophotometrically at 25Ð50 ∞C. The reaction follows overall second order kinetics, first order in each of the reactants. Electron-withdrawing groups accelerate and electron-releasing groups retard the rate of condensation. From the dependence of the rate constants on temp...

The Condensation of Aromatic Aldehydes with Glycine and Acetylglycine

The Condensation of Aromatic Aldehydes with Glycine and Acetylglycine

Substrate specificity and catalytic efficiency of aldo-keto reductases with phospholipid aldehydes.

Phospholipid oxidation generates several bioactive aldehydes that remain esterified to the glycerol backbone ('core' aldehydes). These aldehydes induce endothelial cells to produce monocyte chemotactic factors and enhance monocyte-endothelium adhesion. They also serve as ligands of scavenger receptors for the uptake of oxidized lipoproteins or apoptotic cells. The biochemical pathways involved ...
