Optical resolution of racemic 5-oxo-1-phenyl-pyrazolidine-3-carboxylic acid 2 with L-amino acid methyl ester via the diastereomers formation was investigated. Treatment of racemic 5-oxo-1-phenylpyrazolidine-3-carboxylic acid 2 with L-valine methyl ester gave diastereomers with a total yield of 86%. The diastereomeric dipeptides can be easily separated by flash column chromatography. Acidic clea...

Ethyl 2,3-diendo-3-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2-carboxylate ((±)-1) was resolved with O,O'-dibenzoyltartaric acid via diastereomeric salt formation. The efficient synthesis of the enantiomers of 2,3-diendo-3-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid ((+)-7 and (-)-7), 3-endo-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2-exo-carboxylic acid ((+)-5 and (-)-5), cis- and trans-3-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2...

The condensation of substituted pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid chlorides with ring-substituted anilines yielded five substituted pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid amides. Thesynthesis, and analytical, lipophilicity and biological data of the newly synthesizedcompounds are presented in this paper. The photosynthesis inhibition, antialgal activityand the effect of a series of pyrazine derivatives as abiotic...

Rapid and highly efficient synthesis of 2- or 2,5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles by the condensation of aryl carboxylic acid hydrazides and orthoesters can be achieved under microwave irradiation using an unmodified commercial over in unsealed vessels.

CO2 per year by 2030 [1]. Petroleum-based materials and chemical have been replaced by biological-based materials and chemicals with environmental advantages such as sustainability and biodegradability [2, 3]. One of these petroleum based-chemicals is the short chain carboxylic acids or volatile fatty acids (VFA). VFA are carboxylic acids with a carbon chain between 2 and 7 carbons [acetic (2),...

The production of carboxylic acids by partial wet oxidation of alkali lignin at elevated temperatures and pressures was studied experimentally. Two different heteropoly acids, phosphotungstic acid (H₃PW12O40) and phosphomolybdic acid (H₃PMo12O40), were used to catalyze the oxidation of lignin under hydrothermal conditions. Factors influencing the total yield of carboxylic acids formed during th...
