Dicarboxylic esters: Useful tools for the biocatalyzed synthesis of hybrid compounds and polymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dicarboxylic acids and their derivatives (esters and anhydrides) have been used as acylating agents in lipase-catalyzed reactions in organic solvents. The synthetic outcomes have been dimeric or hybrid derivatives of bioactive natural compounds as well as functionalized polyesters.

The Enol Ether Synthesis of Polyenes
Convenient methods for the preparation of 1-alkoxydienes are reviewed. It is shown that 1-alkoxydienes are very reactive and can be successfully used for the synthesis of polyene compounds. These include some important natural products, such as polyene aldehydes, vitamin A aldehyde, the ethers and esters of vitamin A, f3-ionolidenacetaldehyde, f3-C,9-aldehyde and other related compounds. A conv...
متن کاملSynthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Mono Acid Esters Derived from the Constituents of Urtica pilulifera
Abstract: New mono acid esters have been synthesized from the reaction of benzoic acid and mono-hydroxybenzoic acids with 2-phenoxyethanol separated from Urtica pilulifera, characterized, and screened for possible antioxidant, antifungal, antimicrobial and anticancer activities. These phenolic acid esters gave various degrees of free radical scavenging, but the values were lower than that of α-...

Objective(s): 15-Lipoxygenases are one of the iron-containing proteins capable of performing peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in animals and plants. The critical role of enzymes in the formation of inflammations, sensitivities, and some cancers has been demonstrated in mammals. The importance of enzymes has led to the development of mechanistic studies, product analysis, and synthesis of ...
