The micro-alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa expresses an enzymatic activity that cleaves the 13-hydroperoxide derivatives of linoleic acid [13-hydroperoxy-9(Z),11(E)-octadecadienoic acid, 13-HPOD] and linolenic acid [13-hydroperoxy-9(Z),11(E),15(Z)-octadecatrienoic acid, 13-HPOT] into volatile C(5) and non-volatile C(13) oxo-products. This enzymic activity initially was attributed to a hydroperoxide l...

A homologous series of cationic gas-phase clusters of dicarboxylic acids (oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, and adipic acid) generated via electrospray ionization (ESI) are investigated using collision-induced dissociation (CID). Singly charged cationic clusters with the composition (Na(+))(2n+1)(dicarboxylate(2-))(n), where n = 1-5, are observed as major gas-phase specie...

A concise method is reported for the synthesis of 2-aminobicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2,7-dicarboxylic acid, a close analogue glutamate receptor ligand LY354740, in both enantiomeric forms. The strategy features creation core structure at start via photochemical [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, an efficient resolution procedure using chiral oxazolidinone, and requires only minimal purification syntheti...

In the title compound, C(7)H(6)O(4)S, a monoester derivative of 2,5-thio-phene-dicarboxylic acid, the carboxylic acid and the carboxylic acid ester groups are approximately coplanar with thio-phene ring, making a dihedral angle of 3.1 (4) and 3.6 (4)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are connected by classical inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers.

The reaction of MnCl2 with 2,5-disulfhydrylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H4DSBDC), in which the phenol groups in 2,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H4DOBDC) have been replaced by thiophenol units, led to the isolation of Mn2(DSBDC), a thiolated analogue of the M2(DOBDC) series of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The sulfur atoms participate in infinite one-dimensional Mn-S chains, and...

Depolymerization behavior polyesters (poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate) (PEN)) in suband supercritical water was investigated for the purpose of monomer recycling. In case of the depolymerization of PET, the yield of terephthalic acid (TPA) increased to 90 % with increasing reaction temperature up to 693 K while the maximum yield of ethylene gly...
