Sulfonic acid-incorporated-MCM-41 mesoporous materials prepared using a silane containing tetrasulfide linkages showed exceptional yields of the acetylated product in the acetylation of anisole due to their high content of strong acid sites.

Novel zinniol-related compound 3, named porritoxin sulfonic acid, with an isoindoline skeleton was isolated from the culture liquid of Alternaria porri. The structure was determined to be 2-(2"-sulfoethyl)-4-methoxy-5-methyl-6-(3'-methyl-2'-butenyloxy)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-one. The phytotoxic activities of three isoindolines (1-3) were evaluated in a seedling-growth assay against stone lee...

A new sulfur-containing guanidino derivative, halichondria sulfonic acid (1) showing anti-HIV-1 activity, and halistanol trisulfate (2) with anti-tumor activity have been isolated from the marine sponge Halichondria rugosa Ridley & Dendy collected in the Chinese Southern Sea. The structure of 1 was elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic and crystal data.

Commercial solid-phase extraction columns packed with a stationary phase with bonded benzenesulfonic acid groups are readily converted to the silver ion form and can then be used for silver ion chromatography of lipids. To illustrate the utility of such procedures, methyl ester derivatives of fatty acids with zero to six double bonds were separated from each other by a simple stepwise elution s...

Some primitive meteorites are carbon-rich objects containing a variety of organic molecules that constitute a valuable record of organic chemical evolution in the universe prior to the appearance of microorganisms. Families of compounds include hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amino acids, amines, amides, heterocycles, phosphonic acids, sulfonic acids, sugar-related...

The carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are fragments of asteroids that have remained relatively unprocessed since the formation of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. These carbon-rich objects contain a variety of extraterrestrial organic molecules that constitute a record of chemical evolution prior to the origin of life. Compound classes include aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbon...

a mild and green method has been developed for the preparation of coumarins derivatives through the one-pot reactions. in our study,various phenols and ethyl acetoacetate compound in which we used silica-supported boron sulfonic acid [sio2/b(so4h)3] as a new, highly efficient and tri-functional inorganic brønsted acid catalyst were processed under solvent-free condition and thermal. the catalys...

Porous polymeric solid acids bearing hydroxyl and sulfonic acid groups, synthesized from aromatic monomers via the Friedel-Crafts “knitting” polymerization, could efficiently hydrolyze cellulose. • Bifunctional porous were for hydrolyzing polymerization followed by sulfonation was used to synthesize acids. Hydroxyl groups as cellulose-binding sites enhanced catalytic performance of acid. struct...
