A new enzymatic process is reported, in which penicillin G acylase from Escherichia coli displays a promiscuous activity in catalyzing the Markovnikov addition of allopurinol to vinyl ester.

Extracellular carboxylic ester hydrolases are produced by many bacterial pathogens and have been shown recently to be important for virulence of some pathogens. However, these hydrolases are poorly characterized in enzymatic activity. This study prepared and characterized the secreted ester hydrolase of Streptococcus equi ssp. equi (designated SeE for S. equi esterase). SeE hydrolyzes ethyl ace...

In this research, an attempt was made to improve the brittle nature of Unsaturated Polyester (UP) polymer which cannot undergo plastic deformation be improved become more resilient by adding Thermoset Vinyl Ester and Methyl Methacrylate (MMA). To show change in toughness polyester material, a test is carried out provide tensile load flexural until material breaks This work reports successful fa...

The recent studies on sustainable plasticizer mainly focus raw material source, synthesis method and plasticization, but the effect of chemical functional groups (epoxy group ester group) compatibility thermal stability plasticized polyvinyl chlorid (PVC) materials has been ignored. In this study, two kinds plasticizers (eleostearic acid eugenol (EAEE) epoxidized EAEE) were synthesized to plast...

The chemical composition of a dichloromethane extract of the South American liverwort Porella recurva has been examined. Two new pinguisane-type norsesquiterpenoid natural products were isolated: 6,11-epoxy-15-nor-3,4-dioxo-5,10-pinguisadien-12-acetate and 6,11-epoxy-15-nor-4-oxo-5,10-pinguisadien-12-acetate. In addition two known pinguisane-type sesquiterpenes were also isolated: norpinguisone...

The title compound, C(21)H(18)O(3)S, is the E isomer, the ester -oxy link being trans to one of the phenyl groups. The planes of the phenyl substituents at the vinyl C atoms form a dihedral angle of 66.32 (7)° with each other. The vinyl group shows noticeable non-planarity, the C(Ph)-C=C-C(Ph) torsion angle being 8.4 (3)°.

The molecular deformation of cotton cellulose whisker/epoxy resin (CW/EP) and tunicate whisker/poly(vinyl) acetate (TW/PVAc) composites were investigated using Raman spectroscopy. A shift in the 1095 cm Raman peak position is recorded for samples deformed in both tension and compression, which corresponds to the molecular deformation of the cellulose chains within the whiskers. Cyclic molecular...

Bifunctional phosphinothiourea catalysts have been developed successfully for the highly regio- and enantioselective γ-hydroamination of allenyl and propargyl esters with N-methoxy carbamate nucleophiles to yield α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acid ester products. In the case of propargyl ester substrates, the reaction proceeds through reversible phosphinothiourea-catalyzed isomerization to the corres...
