Glyceryl ether synthesis from long chain alcohols in elasmobranch stomach.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The isolated stomachs of the dogfish, Squdus acanthias, and the skate, Raja erinacea, were found to incorporate long chain alcohols and acetate, but not long chain fatty acids, into glyceryl ethers. 2. The criterion for evaluation of incorporation of radioactive substrates into glyceryl ethers was the measurement of activity of individual isopropylidene derivatives separated by means of gas-liquid chromatography. 3. A pathway for incorporation of long chain alcohols involving aldehydes and fatty acids as intermediates was ruled out by means of studies which utilized mixtures of cetyl alcohol-lJ4C and cetyl alcohol-1-3H. 4. An unexpected finding was a relatively greater enrichment in tritium as compared with 14C in the process of glyceryl ether synthesis from mixtures of cetyl alcohol-1-3H and cetyl alcohol-l-W .

Long-chain alcohols occur as components of animal, higher plant and microbial lipids as free alcohols, precursors of glycerol ether lipids and in combination with carboxylic acids as wax esters
Fourteen yeast strains from six genera were analysed for the presence of long-chain alcohols. Six strains from three genera contained long-chain alcohols, highest levels being found in Candida afbicans. The alcohols were identified and determined by TLC, GLC and GLC-MS. The major long-chain alcohols synthesized by these organisms were saturated, primary alcohols with C1 4, C I 6 or C18 chain le...
متن کاملA Tandem Scalable Microwave-Assisted Williamson Alkyl Aryl Ether Synthesis under Mild Conditions
An efficient tandem synthesis of alkyl aryl ethers, including valuable building blocks of dialdehyde and dinitro groups under microwave irradiation and solvent free conditions on potassium carbonate as a mild solid base has been developed. A series of alkyl aryl ethers were obtained from alcohols in excellent yields by following the Williamson ether synthesis protocol under practical mild condi...
متن کاملSynthesis of unsymmetrical biaryl ethers through nickel-promoted coupling of polyfluoroarenes with arylboronic acids and oxygen.
Polyfluoro-substituted unsymmetrical biaryl ethers were synthesized via a novel Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of polyfluoroarenes with arylboronic acids and oxygen. The polyfluorinated arenes presumably captured the phenoxide intermediate efficiently, which made the oxygen-insertion proceed smoothly via the S(N)Ar protocol. The (18)O labeling experiment demonstrated that the oxygen intro...

Labeled long chain acyl-CoA, aldehyde, and alcohol (16:0) were incubated in the peritoneal cavity of mice bearing Ehrlich ascites cells and the distribution of radioactivity in the acyl, alkyl, and alk-1-enyl moieties of various neutral lipid and phospholipid classes was compared. The results suggested the following metabolic relations. 1. Alkyl glyceryl ethers are precursors of alk-l-enyl glyc...
