The effect of eight different alcohols including halogenols and alkanols on the structural transformation of aciddenatured ficin (ADF) at pH 2.5 was studied using farand near-UV circular dichroism (CD) and tryptophan fluorescence. Except methanol and ethanol, other alcohols induced α-helical structure in ADF, as revealed by the increase in MRE222nm values. The fluoro alcohols tested showed a hi...

The vicinal amino alcohol is a common motif in natural products and pharmaceuticals. Amino acids constitute a natural, inexpensive, and enantiopure choice of starting material for the synthesis of such functionalities. However, the matters concerning diastereoselectivity are not obvious. This Perspective takes a look in the field of diastereoselective synthesis of vicinal amino alcohols startin...

In 2005, 30% of all alcohol consumption in Russia was unrecorded. This paper describes the chemical composition of unrecorded and low cost alcohol, including a toxicological evaluation. Alcohol products (n=22) from both recorded and unrecorded sources were obtained from three Russian cities (Saratov, Lipetsk and Irkutsk) and were chemically analyzed. Unrecorded alcohols included homemade samogo...

transesterification, one of the most effective methods for ester synthesis, is usually conducted under acid or basicconditions. although quite a few methods have been reported for transesterification, they are not general as far asp-ketoesters are concerned. some of these methods used toxic, expensive reagents and in relatives large amount. inthis research, transesterification reaction six type...

an efficient synthetic method for successful synthesis of amine denderon on sba-15 and related pd (ii) complex has been developed. this modified mesoporous material was characterized by various techniques such as tem, xrd, atomic absorption spectroscopy, n2 adsorption-desorption, and ft-ir. the catalytic activities of the prepared catalysts were investigated by employing aerobic oxidation of al...
