The use of dulcitol and mannitol as differentiating agents in bacterial culture media is well established. The mechanism of the decomposition of these compounds has been investigated by many workers. With mannitol, this field has been comprehensively reviewed by Eitel (1920). Our review of the literature, however, revealed no bacteriological investigations concerned with acid and gas formation ...

The equations of unsymmetrical 2-phase induction motors are established and a computer representation is developed from these equations. Computer representation of single phase motors are developed by extension and modification of the unsymmetrical 2-phase induction motors representation. These equations of an unsymmetrical 2-phase induction motors are describe the dynamic performance of equati...

A family of novel chloramphenicol base-amide organocatalysts possessing a NH functionality at C-1 position as monodentate hydrogen bond donor were developed and evaluated for enantioselective organocatalytic alcoholysis of meso-cyclic anhydrides. These structural diversified organocatalysts were found to induce high enantioselectivity in alcoholysis of anhydrides and was successfully applied to...

The synthesis and characterization of new meso-substituted and -substituted unsymmetrical metallorphyrins has been described. A new modified Alder method was used for the synthesis of unsymmetrical porphyrins. Reaction of these unsymmetrical porphyrins with metal chlorides and nitrates afforded the corresponding metalloporphyrins in high yields with excellent purity. These porphyrins and their...

Developing selective polymerizations from complex monomer mixtures is an important challenge. Here, dinuclear catalysts allow selective polymerization from mixtures of sterically hindered tricyclic anhydrides, carbon dioxide and epoxides to yield well-controlled copoly(ester-carbonates). Surprisingly, two very similar homogeneous catalysts differing only in the central metal, zinc versus magnes...

Sulfone-substituted γ- and δ-lactams have been prepared in a single step with high diastereoselectivity. Sulfonylglutaric anhydrides produce intermediates that readily decarboxylate to provide δ-lactams with high diastereoselectivity. Substituents at the 3- or 4-position of the glutaric anhydride induce high levels of stereocontrol. Sulfonylsuccinic anhydrides produce intermediate carboxylic ac...

We report a new synthetic methodology for poly(ester amide)s by anionic ring-opening copolymerization of N-sulfonyl aziridines and cyclic anhydrides. Phosphazenes organocatalysts have been found to promote highly-active, controlled, selective alternating in the absence any competitive side reaction (zwitterionic mechanism exchange transacylations). Mechanistic studies shown first-order dependen...

In this study, renewable products with potentially interesting properties and applications were synthesized by functionalizing linseed oil via epoxidation epoxy ring-opening carboxylic acids anhydrides. LDHs (Layered Double Hydroxides), a well-known class of materials used for wide range reactions, are the catalysts in overall advantages facile separation reusability. our different types anhydr...

A Pd-catalyzed regioselective C-H bond carbonylation of N-alkyl anilines for the synthesis of isatoic anhydrides has been developed. The key Pd-catalyst intermediate has been isolated and characterized. This novel Pd-catalyzed carbonylation reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and is a reliable method for the rapid elaboration of readily available N-alkyl anilines into a variety...
