Synthesis of long-chain fatty acid enol esters isolated from an environmental DNA clone.

چکیده
[structure: see text] Long-chain fatty acid enol ester 1 is the major metabolite of a new family of small molecules isolated from the heterologous expression of environmentally derived DNA. A versatile synthesis of 1, in which an aromatic acetaldehyde is O-acylated with a long-chain acyl chloride allowed for the rapid construction of both the isolated product (1) and a number of structural analogues (including 8, 17, and 18).

Synthesis of neopentyl glycol and ethylene glycol esters by fatty acids in the presence of acidic ion exchange resin catalyst
A most effective and less energy demanding method of producing fatty esters, diol esters, by esterifying fatty acids, with neopentyl and ethylenglycol alcohols in the presence of an acidic ion exchange resin catalyst(polyestyrendivinylbenzensulfated) was investigated at elevated temperature. In this process an azeotroping agent, toluene, was used to facilitate continuous removal of water by dis...

The effects of long-chain acyl-CoA (lcACoA) esters (both added exogenously and synthesized de novo) and acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) on plastidial glucose 6-phosphate (Glc6P) and pyruvate metabolism were examined using isolated plastids. The binding of lcACoA esters by ACBP stimulated the utilization of Glc6P for fatty acid synthesis, starch synthesis and reductant supply via the oxidative p...

X-ray structural analyses of two a,y-diketo esters and one a,y-diketo acid, which are amino acid antagonists, have shown them all to be present in the solid state in the a,ßunsaturated y-keto enolic form. The structures of the esters /3-acetyl-pyruvic acid methyl ester (1) and 2-oxo-cyclopentyl-glyoxylic acid ethyl ester (3) are stabilized by intramolecular O---H(-O) hydrogen bonds involving th...
متن کاملThe Conversion of Long Chain Saturated Fatty Acids to Their @Unsaturated, ,&y-Unsaturated, and @-Hydroxy Derivatives by Enzymes from the Cellular Slime Mold, Dictyostelium discoideum
A major problem in the study of fatty acid metabolism at the subcellular level has been the demonstration of the individual steps of both oxidation and synthesis (1, 2). Oxidation of long and short chain fatty acids by intact mitochondria is considered to proceed directly to acetate, without the accumulation of intermediates (3). Synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl coenzyme A and malonyl-CoA b...

Although the enzymes involved in the synthesis and hydrolysis of cholesterol esters of fatty acids have been the subject of a number of communications (l-7), the sites and mechanisms of these reactions have not been definitely established. It has been suggested by Schramm and Wolff (8) that fatty acids are esterified in the intestinal lumen before absorption into the cells of the mucosa and tha...
