BACKGROUND Phenolic aldehydes generated from lignocellulose pretreatment exhibited severe toxic inhibitions on microbial growth and fermentation. Numerous tolerance studies against furfural, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF), acetate, and ethanol were reported, but studies on inhibition of phenolic aldehyde inhibitors are rare. For ethanologenic strains, Zymomonas mobilis ZM4 is high in ethan...

The phenolic Schiff bases I-VI were synthesized by condensation reactions between various diamines, namely o-dianisidine, o-tolidine and ethylenediamine with vanillin or p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and subsequent reactions between these phenolic Schiff bases and epichlorohydrin to produce new diglycidyl ethers Ia-VIa. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by CHN, FT-IR, (1)H-NMR, and (13)C...

Two new symmetrical Schiff bases have been prepared by the condensation of ethylenediamine and two benzaldehyde derivatives, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. The electronic transitions within these Schiff bases molecules in chloroform solvent have been investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The 1H NMR and IR spectra were studied and assigned to related groups. Furthermore,...

Chemoenzymatic and enzymatic cascade reactions enable the synthesis of complex stereocomplementary 1,3,4-trisubstituted tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) with three chiral centers in a step-efficient and selective manner without intermediate purification. The cascade employs inexpensive substrates (3-hydroxybenzaldehyde and pyruvate), and involves a carboligation step, a subsequent transamination...

Electrochemical oxidation of some p-substituted phenols (p-nitrophenol, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, phenol, p-cresol, and p-methoxyphenol) with electron-donating and -withdrawing substituents was studied to reveal the relationship between the structure and the electrochemical reactivity of p-substituted phenols using a boron-doped diamond electrode by voltammetry and bulk electrolysis. Voltammetric ...

The new series of Schiff base were synthesized from 7-methyl-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-amine condensed with different substituted aldehydes (4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde, Vanillin, 3-Nitrobenzaldyde, 4Nitrobenzaldehyde)in presence of catalytic quantities of acetic acid. So the structure offers for this synthesis well coincide with the results obtained bydifferent spectroscopic techniques (IR, 1 ...

During the development of an assay for the metanephrines (m 0 -methylepinephrine and m 0 -methylnorepinephrine) in human urine (I), another compound was detected which had similar chemical and chromatographic properties. Like the metanephrines, it was adsorbed onto a weak cation exchange resin, and upon treatment with periodate it yielded a product which absorbed ultraviolet light. The identifi...
