Abstract The peracetalization of a β-hydroxy hydroperoxide derived from methyl oleate was studied using benzaldehyde as model substrate to give the corresponding fatty 1,2,4-trioxane. desired product obtained mixture regioisomers but only one diastereoisomer each formed. nature acid catalyst and both p-toluene sulfonic (PTSA) Amberlyst A35 (A35) were found be efficient homogeneous heterogeneous...

Wax esters are esters of long-chain fatty acids and long-chain fatty alcohols which are of considerable commercial importance and are produced on a scale of 3 million tons per year. The oil from the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis) is the main biological source of wax esters. Although it has a multitude of potential applications, the use of jojoba oil is restricted, due to its high price. In...

BACKGROUND A number of unsaturated fatty acids and a few saturated branched-chain fatty acids have been reported to exhibit anticancer activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS In previously reported research, several novel branched-chain derivatives (methyl, n-butyl, phenyl) of methyl oleate were produced by bromination in the allylic position and subsequent treatment with organocuprate reagents. Thes...

Objective(s): Oleate can be produced through de novo synthesis, which contributes to biological processes and signaling pathways. However, the role of this non-essential fatty acid in hepatic development remains unclear. The current study aimed to evaluate the influence of early oleate deficiency induced by the inhibitor of de novo oleate synthesis MF-438 on fetal rat ...

Biodiesel fuels consist of a mixture different fatty acid esters. The thermophysical properties the esters are decisive for combustion and storage. Especially density viscosity influence, e.g., energy density, spray quality lubrication in diesel engine. For some esters, several studies on can be found literature wide pressure reasonably temperature range. However, data at high pressures as well...

Fatty acids are transported to cells from a variety of different moieties in the plasma. In this study, using oleate and human umbilical vein endothelial cells, we asked whether the vehicle that delivers fatty acid to cells has an influence on its metabolism upon its incorporation into the cell. For oleate vehicles, we compared free oleate bound to albumin with oleate in low density lipoprotein...

Polymers that respond in a productive fashion to their environment are under active development as they offer significant advantages over traditional materials. For example, polymers with the ability to self-heal and recover a significant fraction of their initial properties after being subjected to a damage event are of significant interest. Here we study the effect of healing agent viscosity ...
