The degree of reagent and substrate control in the reaction of chiral sulfur ylides with chiral aldehydes has been investigated. Specifically, the reactions of the two enantiomers of the chiral benzyl sulfonium salt 1 with glyceraldehyde acetonide were studied in detail. Of the two new stereogenic centers created, it was found that the C1 stereochemistry was largely controlled by the reagent, w...

Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) produces hundreds of hydrocarbons and oxygenates by simple reactants (CO + H2) the detailed chain propagation mechanism is still in dispute. An industrial iron-based catalyst was used to further clarify adding aldehyde, alcohol alkene species into a fixed-bed tubular reactor. The added were investigated H2 syngas atmospheres, respectively. 1-alkene atmosphere pre...

Indoor aldehydes may result from ozone-initiated chemistry, mainly documented by experimental studies. As part of an environmental investigation included in the PARIS birth cohort, the aim of this study was to examine ozone contribution to airborne aldehyde formation in Paris homes. Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and hexaldehyde levels, as well as styrene, nitrogen dioxide and nicotine concentratio...

Short-chain aldehydes such as (3Z)-hexenal and n-hexanal are formed from lipids through sequential actions of lipid-hydrolysing, lipoxygenase and fatty acid hydroperoxide lyase activities. The aldehydes are formed upon wounding of plant tissues, and are reported to have bactericidal and fungicidal activities. Furthermore, it has been reported that the aldehydes can induce expression of a subset...

Objective(s): This work aimed to assess the effect of 10 new chromon-3-aldehyde derivatives on changes of mitochondrial function under the conditions of brain ischemia in rats. Materials and Methods: The work was executed on BALB/c male-mice (acute toxicity was evaluated) and male Wistar rats, which were used to model cerebral ischemia b...
