In kraft pulping, wood polysaccharides are subjected to the end-wise degradation (i.e., the peeling reaction) under alkaline conditions with the simultaneous formation of a large number of water/alkali-soluble hydroxy monoand dicarboxylic acids together with formic and acetic acids [1-3]. The versatile analysis of organic material in black liquor is of a great importance, for example, for monit...

We present the synthesis and selected physicochemical properties of several novel symmetrical and unsymmetrical alpha,omega-nucleobase mono- and bis-amide conjugated systems containing aliphatic, aromatic or saccharidic linkages. The final stage of the synthesis involves condensation of a subunit bearing carboxylic group with an amine subunit. 4-(4,6-Dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpho...

A highly efficient method for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using PolyVinylPolyPyrrolidone supported - Boron Trifluoride (PVPP-BF3) in the presence of 35% hydrogen peroxide has been developed in acetonitrile at 60 °C. This procedure cleanly oxidizes variety of aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids. Oxidative esterification of benzaldeh...

Many inborn errors of metabolism are characterized by an increase in the concentrations of various carboxylic acids in blood and urine. For example, the metabolic disorders propionic acidemia [ 11, methylmalonic aciduria [ 2,3], maple syrup urine disease [4], isovaleric acidemia [ 41 and glutaric aciduria type II [ 5,6] show increased amounts of volatile carboxylic acids in blood or urine. Proc...

the treatment equimolar quantities of carboxylic acids with acid chlorides in the presence of zno brings abouthighly efficient unsymmetrical anhydrides at room temperature in solvent-free condition. reactivity trendsfavored formation of the product using both electron deficient and rich aryl acids and acid chlorides.

infrared spectra of some deuterio analogues of carboxylic acids in heavy water have been investigated and their spectral behavior in carbonyl stretching frequency region have been interpreted in terms of their structural behavior in aqueous solutions. it has been shown that a linear relationship exists between carbonyl stretching frequency of solvated acids at infinite dilution and their pk s .

a,b-Unsaturated carboxylic acids are important chemicals, and can be used as basic materials in the production of plastics, superabsorbent, polymers, and rubbers. Various synthetic methodologies for their synthesis have been developed, for example, oxidation of propene over heterogeneous catalysts at high temperature yielded the a,b-unsaturated carboxylic acids and hydrocarboxylation of alkynes...
