Porous and robust 12-connected metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were constructed by linking tetranuclear lanthanide (Ln) carbonate clusters with organoboron-derived tricarboxylate bridging ligands. The high-connectivity Ln-MOFs feature remarkable thermal and hydrolytic stability and a large number of isolated Lewis acid B(III) and Ln(III) sites on the pore surfaces. The Nd-MOF assisted with sodi...

This review provides an update on our understanding of the chemical reactions (lipid oxidation, Strecker and Maillard reactions, thiamine degradation) and a discussion of the principal aroma compounds derived from those reaction or other sources in cooked meat, mainly focused on ruminant species. This knowledge is essential in order to understand, control, and improve the quality of food produc...

The amino acids synthesis from elementary precursors in abiotic conditions is traditionally described according to the Strecker reaction, thoroughly invoked justify observation of extraterrestrial samples and their emergence primordial Earth. To this day, however, a quantitative microscopic description mechanism, thermodynamics, kinetics multistep reaction still lacking. In present work we tack...

Bismuth metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as heterogeneous catalysts are scarce, and there is little knowledge on the influence of MOF features their resulting activity behavior. Here, we present synthesis, characterization, catalytic in one-pot multicomponent Strecker reaction with ketones three new MOFs prepared combination indium or bismuth 4,4′,4′′,4′′′-methanetetrayltetrabenzoic acid. One th...

Control of aroma generation during the Maillard reaction presents great scientific and industrial interest. Although there have been many studies conducted in simplified model systems, the results are difficult to apply to complex food systems where the structure of the matrix and the presence of other components can have a significant impact on the reaction. In such complex systems, some degre...

The enzymes of prolinsglutamate oxidation and the preparation of their substrates have been described by Strecker and coworkers. [ 1,3] . The presence of proline oxidase in rat liver mitochondria was described by Johnson and Strecker [2]. A rough localisation of proline oxidase and A-pyrroline&carboxylic acid dehydrogenase in locust flight muscle has been attempted by Brosemer and Veerabhadrapp...

The asymmetric catalytic Strecker reaction of achiral N-phosphonyl imines with Et(2)AlCN has been established. Both free amino alcohols and BINOLs have been proven to be effective catalysts to afford excellent enantioselectivities and yields. The N-phosphonyl group can be readily cleaved under mild conditions and enable purification of crude products by simple washing with hexane. The cleaved N...

Herein, we report a short, three-step synthesis of d-[1-(14) C]-serine (4) in high enantiomeric purity. Starting from [(14) C]-KCN and 2-(benzyloxy)acetaldehyde, Strecker reaction using (R)-1-phenylethylamine as the chiral auxiliary gave two diastereomeric aminonitriles 1 and 2 in the ratio of 4:3, which were conveniently separated and purified chromatographically. Following hydrolysis and subs...
