In this work, cellulose was successfully extracted from pineapple leaf waste by 0.75 M NaOH at 90oC and 5 HNO3 70oC for 1.5 h h, respectively. The obtained fibres, with average diameters of 150-300 nm, were converted to carboxymethyl (CMC) esterification. pure soaked in a solution mixture isopropanol 2 h. It then reacted chloroacetic acid (MCA) 60oC optimum conditions carboxymethylation found b...

From studies on 11 different proteins (including native albumin and albumin with reduced disulfide-bridges) treated with sulfosalicylic, 2-naphthalenesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, dichloroacetic, or trichloroacetic acids, we elucidate the interactions determining the resulting turbidities and other factors affecting turbidities, and we discuss the clinical utility of such turbidimetry. At least th...

1 Regulation 793/93 provides a systematic framework for the evaluation of the risks to human health and the environment of those substances if they are produced or imported into the Community in volumes above 10 tonnes per year. The methods for carrying out an in-depth Risk Assessment at Community level are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC)1488/94, which is supported by a technical guidan...

Seven new compounds have been synthetized in satisfactory yields (51-78 %) through the treatment of mesoionic 1,3-thiazolium-5-thiolate (4a-d) and 1,3,4-thiadiazolium- 5-thiolate (10a,b) with chloroacetic acid or methyl iodide: 1,3,4-thiadiazolium-5-methylthio- (11) and 5-thioacetate (12). The structure of the title compounds was elucidated by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectros...

New Schiff bases, hydrazones and semicarbazones derived from 1,2-dihydro-4-hydroxy-6-methyl2-oxoquinoline-3-carbaldehyde, have been synthesized. The semicarbazone was subjected to react with 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline, chloroacetic acid, and oxalyl chloride affording multiaza­ heterocycles substituted to quinolone moiety at position 3. Condensation of the 2-imidazolidinethione derivative with some...

Oxidation of the vinyl halide carcinogen and hepatotoxin vinylidene chloride (VDC) by microsomal cytochrome P-450 yields 2,2-dichloroacetaldehyde, 2-chloroacetyl chloride, 2-chloroacetic acid, and 1,1-dichloroethylene oxide. The roles of these metabolites in covalent modification of proteins and reduced glutathione (GSH) were examined. 2-Chloroacetyl chloride reacted with model thiols at least ...
