A quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) analysis of aliphatic alcohols is presented. Four physicochemical properties were studied: boiling point (BP), n-octanol-water partition coefficient (lg P(OW)), water solubility (lg W) and the chromatographic retention indices (RI) on different polar stationary phases. In order to investigate the quantitative structure-property relationship ...

N,N-diisobutylaminophenyl-phenothiazine is a strongly reducing catalyst that allows – for the first time photoredox catalytic addition of alcohols to alkyl olefins as non-activated substrates products with Markovnikov orientation. The irradiation at 365 nm does not require any additional reagent. Using ?-methyl styrene activated substrate we additionally show this method tolerates other functio...

An amphiphilic aryl-ether AB2-type dendron（1）bearing oligo ethylene glycol（OEG）chains exhibited lower critical solution temperature behavior in aqueous solutions. In the presence of salting-out salts（Na2SO4, NaCl, and NaBr）, cloud points 1 decreased linearly with increasing salt concentration. The slope linear decrease changed anion type order, SO42－ > Cl－ Br－. salting-in salts（NaSCN NaI）, incr...

Since alcohols are accessible from indigestible biomass (lignocellulose), the development of novel preferentially catalytic reactions in which alcohols are converted into important classes of fine chemicals is a central topic of sustainable synthesis. Multicomponent reactions are especially attractive in organic chemistry as they allow the synthesis of large libraries of diversely functionalize...

Hydroxysteroid (alcohol) sulfotransferase STa catalyzes the 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate-dependent O-sulfonation of a diverse array of alcohols including neutral hydroxysteroids. Many of the secondary alcohols that interact with this sulfotransferase are the metabolic products of stereoselective oxidation or reduction reactions. The role that the stereochemistry of secondary alcohol su...

The huge number of possible combinations of binary mixtures of alcohols and ionic liquids (ILs) make the exhaustive measurement of all these ystems impracticable requiring the use of a predictive model for their study. In this work, the predictive capability of COSMO-RS, a model based n unimolecular quantum chemistry calculations, was evaluated for the description of the liquid–liquid equilibri...

The compositions of the uropygial gland secretions of the long-eared owl, eagle owl, and barn owl have been determined. The waxes of the first two owls, which are closely related, are composed of 2-alkyl-substituted fatty acids and n- or monomethyl-branched alcohols with even-numbered branching positions. In addition, some dimethyl-substituted alkanols were observed. In contrast to these waxes,...

The separation of the nonaqueous azeotropic systems methyl acetate−methanol and ethyl acetate−ethanol was investigated with 13 cations and 27 anions as entrainers to identify suitable ionic liquids using the COSMO-RS model. It is observed that the cations best suited are imidazolium > pyridinium > methyl pyrrolidinium > octyl quinolinium. The lengthening of the alkyl chain of cations was also s...

Isoamyl alcohol oxidase (IAAOD) was purified to apparent homogeneity on SDS-PAGE from ultrafiltration (UF) concentrated sake. IAAOD was a glycoprotein, a monomeric protein with an apparent molecular mass of 73 and 87 kDa, by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration on HPLC, respectively. IAAOD showed high substrate specificity toward C5 branched-chain alkyl alcohol (isoamyl alcohol), and no activity toward ...

Large quantities (>3 g) of a new series of alkyl uronates were synthesized in two steps from commercial methyl hexopyranosides. Firstly, several tens of grams of free methyl α-d-glucopyranoside were selectively and quantitatively oxidized into corresponding sodium uronate using 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy free radical (TEMPO)-catalyzed oxidation. Hydrophobic chains of different length ...
