The ionization and fragmentation patterns of 24 compounds with elemental composition CmH2mO2, including isomeric esters alkanoic acids, were investigated by atmospheric pressure corona discharge collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectrometry in the positive-ion mode. All ionized as protonated molecules NH4+ adducts. In addition, fragment ions observed spectra other than methyl esters, w...

silica chloride converted benzyl or tert-butyl esters to the corresponding acid chlorides and alkyl chlorides. it also converted benzyl or tert-butyl phenyl ethers to the corresponding allcyl chlorides and phenol

the adducts produced in the reaction between trialkyl phosphites and acetylenic esters were trapped by hydantoins to produce highly functionalized dialkyl 2-(2,5-dioxo-4,4-diphenylimidazolidin-1-yl) succinate in good yields.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to select appropriate surfactants or blends of surfactants to study the ternary phase diagram behavior of newly introduced palm kernel oil esters. METHODS Nonionic surfactant blends of Tween(®) and Tween(®)/Span(®) series were screened based on their solubilization capacity with water for palm kernel oil esters. Tween(®) 80 and five blends of Tween(®) ...

Organoboron chemistry has been widely explored and developed in synthetic for over half a century provides various elegant protocols polymer synthesis. Compared with most trivalent bare organoboron compounds, N-coordinated shows better performances, such as air moisture stability. This review summarizes the application of boranes boronic acid/esters synthesis materials science. We introduce sig...

A series of novel chiral Lewis base catalysts were synthesized from L-serine and applied in the hydrosilylation of β-enamino esters, in which the optimal one promoted the reactions to afford a wide variety of β-amino esters in good yields with good enantioselectivities. It is noteworthy that several cyclic substrates were hydrosilylated under the optimal conditions to give the cyclic β-amino es...

Epoxidizedmethyl esters were prepared by the transesterification of epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO). The transesterification was complete in 10min at 50 ◦C without loss of the epoxide function. Epoxidized methyl esters represent a renewable substrate that is readily converted into surfactants, fuel additives, and other industrial products. The implementation of this reaction will increase the ava...

1. The gas-liquid-chromatographic separations of the acetate, propionate, n-butyrate, isobutyrate and n-valerate esters of androsterone, aetiocholanolone and dehydroepiandrosterone were studied on a 1% neopentyl glycol sebacate column. The n-butyrate, isobutyrate and n-valerate esters were well resolved. 2. The three steroids derived from hydrolysed urinary 17-oxo steroid conjugate extracts wer...

A nickel-catalyzed α-arylation of esters and amides with phenol derivatives has been accomplished. In the presence of our unique nickel catalyst, prepared in situ from Ni(cod)2, 3,4-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)thiophene (dcypt), and K3PO4, various esters and amides undergo α-arylation with O-arylpivalates or O-arylcarbamates to afford the corresponding coupling products. The thus obtained α-aryl ...

• draw the mechanism of ester hydrolysis under acidic and basic reaction conditions; • account for the irreversibility of the hydrolysis reaction under basic conditions; • form new esters by baseor acid-catalysed transesterification mechanisms; • draw the mechanism for cleaving tert-butyl esters and understand why the mechanism is different from that for methyl esters; • understand why protonat...
