GAS-PHASE ACIDITY OF SOME CARBOXYLIC ACIDS CALCULATED BY MNDO
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
Gas-phase acidities of 15 aliphatic carboxylic acids, X CH -,COOH, have been calculated using the MNDO method. Among the substituted groups exist the electron donor alkyl groups and electron acceptor halogens. The average error in acidity is within the experimental uncertainty of the data. Systematic errors have been found for the substituents which form internal hydrogen bondings. A reasonable correlation does exist between the gas-phase acidity and the net atomic charges on the acidic hydrogens in the neutral form and the net atomic charges and ionization potentials of the anions. There is no correlation between the gas-phase acidity and HOMO and bandgaps

Determination of Carboxylic Acids in Apple Juice by RP HPLC
Low molecular weight organic acids are most predominant in apple juice among these components fumaric acid was not exceed more than 5 ppm. It was thought that the HPLC is the best method of the determination of organic acids in the apple juice. In this study, chromatographic separation of organic acids of apple juice was obtained by preparing a sample and by applying them to acid phase for ...
full textPrediction of gas chromatographic retention indices of some amino acids and carboxylic acids from their structural descriptors.
In this work, quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) approaches were applied for modeling and prediction of the retention index of 282 amino acids (AAs) and carboxylic acids (CAs). Descriptors that were used to encode structural features of molecules in a data set were calculated by using the Dragon software. The genetic algorithm (GA) and stepwise multiple linear regression (MLR)...

Various higher amine salts of dicarboxylic and tricarboxylic acids were prepared and tested for antimicrobial activity in vitro. Although activity was present in all compounds tested, tetradecylammonium malonate showed the greatest activity with the widest spectrum. This compound was effective against gram-negative as well as gram-positive microorganisms, yeast, and fungi.A high order of microb...

Carboxylic acids are an attractive biorenewable chemical in terms of their flexibility and usage as precursors for a variety of industrial chemicals. It has been demonstrated that such carboxylic acids can be fermentatively produced using engineered microbes, such as Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, like many other attractive biorenewable fuels and chemicals, carboxylic a...
