Ozonolysis of Cyclic Olefins in Formic Acid.

Treatment of Warts with Topical Formic Acid

Submillimeter Spectrum of Formic Acid

We have measured new submillimeter-wave data around 600 GHz and around 1.1 THz for the C isotopologue of formic acid and for the two deuterium isotopomers; in each case for both the trans and cis rotamer. For cis-DCOOH and cis-HCOOD in particular only data up to 50 GHz was previously available. For all species the quality and quantity of molecular parameters has been increased providing new mea...

Enzymic oxidation of formic acid.

Interest in the metabolic fate of formic acid has been renewed as the result of recent experiments showing active incorporation of carbon-labeled formate into normal body constituents of the pigeon (l-3) and the rat (4, 5). Prior to these findings, enzymes capable of catalyzing the oxidation of formic acid had been reported, widely distributed in plant and animal tissues (6). Only in the case o...

Role of Water in Formic Acid Decomposition

Formic acid decomposes primarily to CO and H2 0 in the gas phase, but to CO, and H, in the aqueous phase. Ab-initio quantum chemical calculations were performed, using Hartree-Fock and density functional methods, to seek an explanation for this behavior. The effect of water on the two decomposition pathways and on the isomerization of formic acid was determined. The transition state structures ...

Selective Mono-Ozonolysis of a Cyclic 1,5,9-Cyclododecatrien

Some unsaturated compounds with the required (Z,Z)-double bonds configuration are synthesized through controlled ozonolysis process of 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene by determining the necessary amount of ozone passing through to selectively guarantee the breakage of a double bond while leaving other two bonds as (Z,Z). The products were diagnosed by using NMR spectrum, infrared (IR) and mass spectrom...
