Vegetable oil-based and potentially biodegradable polyesters were prepared from 9-hydroxynonanoic acid methyl ester. This paper describes ozonolysis of vegetable oils and the method for preparation of useful monomers and in particular 9-hydroxynonanoic acid methyl ester. Ozonolysis of soybean oil and castor oil in methanol and methylene chloride solution, followed by reduction with sodium boroh...

Abstract Little information is available on the relative efficacy of Group 4 herbicides for glyphosate-resistant (GR) horseweed management in soybean. Five field research experiments were conducted growers’ fields from 2020 to 2021 determine GR control with applied preplant (PP) alone and a mixture. There was minimal soybean injury (≤4%) evaluated. Dicamba, 2,4-D, or halauxifen-methyl PP contro...

reaction of aryl methyl ketone with isatin in the presence of a base afforded 2- arylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid (3). reaction of diazomethane with compound 3 yielded the ester 4. compound 5 was prepared from the reaction of n, n'-dialkylethyl (or propyl) arnine with 4. addition of hydrazine hydrate to compound 4a gave 2- (2- pyridyl) quinoline-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide (6). reaction of ...

A novel automated transesterification (ATE) technique has been developed for the quantitative determination of acid components used in synthesizing ester-based oils. The ATE technique has been successfully tested over a period of more than five years using several commercially available ester-based new and used refrigeration oils and jet oils. In this automated technique, the ester-based oil is...

Since the isolation and identification of the sesquiterpene antibiotic pentalenolactone (1),1-7) several other related metabolites have been recognized in strains of Streptomyces, notably pentalenolactones E (2),8,9) G (3),10) and H (4),11) pentalenic acid (5),11,12) and the parent hydrocarbon, pentalenene (6).11-15)* Besides their novel structural features, these compounds are all potential in...

The title compound, (1R,2R,3S,5S,8S)-3-hydr-oxy-8-methyl-8-azoniabicyclo-[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid chloride, C(9)H(16)NO(3) (+)·Cl(-), is both a metabolite and a precursor of the tropane alkaloid l-cocaine. The carboxyl group is not involved in dimerization, but instead donates a hydrogen bond to the chloride counter-ion, which participates in two additional hydrogen bonds. The chloride i...

An interesting observation was found during our continued studies on the hydrolysis of ibuprofen esters by Candida rugosa lipase (CRL). An important role is played by pH in the stereospecific hydrolysis of these esters. The flap region of CRL plays a significant role in the access of the substrate to the active site of the enzyme. At pH 5.6, 48% of the methyl ester and 5% of the butyl ester of ...

Polyoxometalate-bis-pyrene receptors for phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) provide an interfacial layer (IFL) material enhancing the open circuit voltage of organic photovoltaic device about 34% under applied bias ±5 V.

The purpose of this work is to study the esterification liquid olefins with acetic acid in presence catalysts and structure properties synthesized saturated esters. 1-Hexene, 2-methyl-1-pentene, 2-ethyl-1-pentene, 3-methyl-1-pentene, 3-methyl-2-pentene were used as for reaction: H2SO4 HCl. influence various factors (the nature catalysts, relative activity temperature a) on rate reaction was stu...

BACKGROUND Oral fluid is currently being evaluated as an alternative matrix for monitoring illicit drugs in federally mandated workplace drug testing, for addiction treatment programs, and for driving under the influence testing. The sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency of the Cozart Microplate EIA Cocaine Oral Fluid Kit (COC ELISA) were determined by comparison with gas chromatography-mass...
