A synthesis of the tetrapeptide sequence As-Ag of glucagon is described that employs various blocking groups, coupling procedures, and routes. The threonyl-phenylalanyl-threonyl-seryl sequence A5-A8 in the hyperglycemic hormone, glucagon (Foa and Galansino, 1962), has been prepared by three different groups within the past four years (Beyerman and Bontekoe, 1964; Schroder and Gibian, 1962; Wuns...

gallium extraction from jajarm bayer process liquor (jajarm, iran) was investigated using microemulsions. also the behavior of aluminum was studied as an impurity. kelex100 (4-ethyl, 1-methyl, 7-octyl, 8-hydroxyquinoleine), iso-decanol and n-butanol, and kerosene were used as the surfactant, co-surfactant, and oil phase, respectively. ternary phase diagrams were produced using various co-surfac...

Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the reversal of regiochemical outcome of the addition for substituted methyl propiolates in the rhodium-catalyzed [(2 + 2) + 2] carbocyclization with PPh3 and (S)-xyl-binap as ligands is both electronically and sterically controlled. For example, the ester functionality polarizes the alkyne π* orbital to favor overlap of the methyl-substit...

The esterification reaction of trimellitic anhydride chloride TMAC 1 with N-(hydroxymethyl) phthalimide NHMP 2, N-(2-hydroxyethyl) phthalimide NHEP 3 or N-(hydroxymethyl) thalidomide NHMT 4 afforded novel cyclic imide-ester derivatives; phthaloyl-phthalic anhydride methyl ester PPAME 5, phthaloyl-phthalic anhydride ethyl ester PPAEE 6 and thalidomide-phthalic anhydride methyl ester TPAME 7, res...

Prussian Blue (PB) analogue metal coordination nanocages comprised of mesoporous walls (ca. 3.5 nm pore width) encapsulating a cavity approaching ca. 100 nm in diameter (surfactant free) are presented as an advance in rational metal coordination polymer nanostructure design. The synthesis employs lanthanide ions (Gd(3+) or Er(3+)) which function initially as peripheral coordination crosslinkers...

Internationally exploited lubricants are derived from coal and petroleum. Due to their high consumption and effects of their long-term pollution on the environment, it is imperative to use renewable and cheap feedstock for the synthesis of bio-based lubricants. This study presents the synthesis and optimization process of Ethylene Glycol (EG) based bio-lubricant from palm kernel oil. Palm Kerne...

A series of [Ru(bpy)2(C^N)][PF6] (HC^N = 2-phenylpyridine derivative) complexes functionalized in the cyclometallating C^N phenyl ring with F, Me, OMe, CO2Me, S(t)Bu, SO2Me (ligands H1-H6) or in the C^N pyridine ring with 4-CO2Me or 4-C6H4P(O)(OEt)2 substituents (ligands H7 or H9) have been prepared and characterized; representative crystal structures confirm the structural features of the comp...

Background: Lipase is an enzyme with immense application potential. Ester synthesis by lipase catalysis in organic media is an area of key industrial relevance. Enzymatic preparations with traits that cater to the needs of this function are hence being intensely researched. Objective: The objectives of the study were to immobilize the lipase from Bacillus sp. PS35 by cross-linking and adsorpti...
