Three glycosides of 13-hydroxydocosanoic acid isolated from Candida bogoriensis were characterized by quantitating the amount of carbohydrate, acetate, and hydroxy acid in each, and by gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry of their methyl ester, trimethylsilyl ether derivatives. One of the glycosides was the diacetylated derivative of 13-glucosylglucosyloxydocosanoic acid previously c...

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of 3-indolyl-3-hydroxy oxindoles and unsymmetrical 3,3-di(indolyl)indolin-2-ones using microwave irradiation without catalyst and solvent is described. A series of 3-indolyl-3-hydroxy oxindoles and unsymmetrical 3,3-di(indolyl)indolin-2ones have been synthesized in very short reaction times of 5 and 10 minutes and in yields ranging from 31% to 98%...
