Nine known and one new ent-kaurene diterpenoid were isolated from the acetone extract of Sideritis stricta Boiss & Heldr. The new compound, identified as ent-1 beta-hydroxy-7 alpha-acetyl-15 beta,16 beta-epoxykaurane (1) by IR, 1D and 2D NMR techniques and mass spectra, was isolated along with sideroxol (2), 7-acetyl sideroxol (3), 7-epicandicandiol (4), linearol (5), ent-7 alpha,15 beta,18-tri...

BACKGROUND The liberation of acetate from hemicellulose negatively impacts fermentations of cellulosic biomass, limiting the concentrations of substrate that can be effectively processed. Solvent-producing bacteria have the capacity to convert acetate to the less toxic product acetone, but to the best of our knowledge, this trait has not been transferred to an organism that produces ethanol at ...

Here in the current research work we have developed newer method for synthesis of diferuloyl methane(curcumin)Ca-q. MangnesiumHydroxide were found to be an effective and mild base curcumin its derivatives obtained by reaction one equivalent acetyl acetone with two corresponding aromatic aldehyde microwave(240 W). The existingscheme offers severalaids such as high yield, less time, environmental...

In this paper, a simple dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction for the extraction and pre-concentration of formaldehyde in seawater samples followed with spectrophotometric is proposed. Formaldehyde was derivatized in situ with acetyl acetone in the presence of ammonium acetate in a single step. Then it was collected into a mixture of ethanol (disperser solvent) and chloroform (extracting...

1. The calf-thymus histone group F2a has been separated into two subfractions by stepwise precipitation with acetone from acid solution. 2. Carboxymethyl-cellulose and dextran-gel column chromatography and a method involving dialysis against ethanol have also given the subfractions, but the acetone-hydrochloric acid method has proved to be the most practicable. 3. The two subfractions differ si...

The selective transformation of chitin into various renewable N-containing chemicals and medicines has attracted increasing attention. However, the N-acetyl groups in construct strong hydrogen bond networks, which restricts its depolymerization transformation. conversion robust commonly requires considerable base catalysts to remove group as a byproduct advance, is non-compliance with principle...

In this paper the synthesis of curcumin and curcumin derivatives is realised, based on the condensation of benzaldehydes substituted by acetyl acetone. The synthesis way is described and the obtained products are characterised in terms of substituted benzaldehydes, colour, melting point and elemental composition.

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant widely used in the treatment of epilepsy.An accurate and validated spectrophotometric method was developed as an alternative method to determine gabapentin in pharmaceutical products. This is a simple, accurate, precise, selective and visible spectrophotometric method. The method is based on the measurement of drug absorbance as a result of yellow solution format...
