Modern Carbohydrate Chemistry

Azides in Carbohydrate Chemistry

The fi rst az.ide-contain ing sugar, a glycosyl azide. was reponed in 1930 by Bertho. j Since that lime various methods have been developed for the introduction of azides at d ifferent positions of sugars. A survey of available methods is given in Section 16.2. Unlillhc lale I 970s, azidcs contai ned in carbohydrate deri vatives were simply used as accessible syn-thons [or amities because of th...

Food Carbohydrate Chemistry

The reactions of sugars that are critical in food science applications can be organized into a few general types of reactions that are heavily influenced by pH. Although there are a few exceptions, most of these reactions occur under the relatively mild conditions that prevail during processing and storage. This chapter will not address reactions of chemical synthesis and sugar structure proof....

From Classical to Modern Chemistry

ganglion cells. Auerbach discovered the myenteric plexus and made fundamental observations on endothelium and on fertilization. The accounts of the four lives are somewhat rambling but are related with warmth and sympathy. Professor Kisch's enthusiasm for his subjects occasionally results in eulogistic passages, but there can be no doubt that he has done well to remind us of how much these men ...

A modern solvation theory: quantum chemistry and statistical chemistry.

This perspective highlights recent developments in the field of statistical mechanics for molecular liquids, i.e. the integral equation (IE) theory, especially focusing on hybrid approaches incorporating quantum chemistry and IE theory. The electronic structure of solvated molecules is characterized, followed by recent developments and applications. The latter includes for some specific systems...
