The global reaction between acetic anhydride and a fatty acid yields, at equilibrium, an asymmetric acetic-aliphatic anhydride in a medium containing finally: acetic-fatty anhydride, acetic anhydride, fatty acid, acetic acid and fatty anhydride. No solvent or catalyst was used to evaluate the impact of the actual reactivity of the anhydrides. The competition between the formation of acetyl and ...

polyethylene imide was synthesized from the reaction of high density polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride (pe-g-ma) and 1,4-diaminobutane in boiling xylene. the chemical compositions of the reaction products were examined by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. different conditions and parameters like the effect of temperature, time, monomer concentration and oxygen on the extent of reacti...

The H and C NMR spectra of 17 succinic anhydride derivatives and 25 maleic anhydride derivatives were completely assigned using oneand two-dimensional NMR techniques. Copyright  1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The cyclized copolymerization of methacrylic anhydride with N phenyldimethacrylamide and methacrylonitrile was carried out. The polymer consists of six-membered cyclic acid anhydride and five-membered imide ring. The cyclic acid anhydride was hydrolyzed by generated acid catalyst from photo-acid generator (PAG). The hydrolyzed copolymer is dissolved in an alkaline solution. We applied this copo...

DOCTORAL DISSERTATIONS A ato-D D 10 /2 13 Bioresorbable polymers are extensively studied materials for medical applications. In this thesis, novel bioresorbable polymers, hydrophobically-modified crosslinked poly(ester anhydride) networks, were developed and characterized with the aim of obtaining suitable matrices for drug release applications. In these poly(ester anhydride) networks were comb...

The effect of chemical modification on a D(+)-galactose-specific lectin isolated from winged-bean tubers was investigated to identify the type of amino acid involved in its haemagglutinating activity. Various anhydrides of dicarboxylic acids, such as acetic anhydride, succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride and citraconic anhydride, modified 57-68% of the amino groups of the winged-bean tuber lect...

Six acylation reagents have been compared for their derivatisation potential towards nine synthetic cathinones by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The evaluated reagents were pentafluoropropionic anhydride (PFPA), trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFA), chlorodifluoroacetic anhydride (CLF2AA), heptafluorobutyric anhydride (HFBA), acetic anhydride (AA) and propionic anhydride (PA). The syn...

The specificity of the Barrnett-Seligman method for the histochemical demonstration of alpha-acylamido carboxyl groups (C terminal) of proteins is dependent on the conversion of such groups to ketones by the action of acetic anhydride and absolute pyridine. Studies on model compounds show that the side-chain carboxyl groups also react in the method and that most of the final color developed can...
