Anionic polyurethane dispersants APUDs were used as dispersing agents in formulation of waterborne paints. The APUDs were synthesized by three steps. In the first step, macromonomer diisocyanate having carboxylic acid was prepared by isophorone diisocyanate IPDI, dimethylol propionic acid DMPA in presence of acetone as solvent and dibutyltin dilaurate DBTDL as catalyst. Then, carboxylic polyure...

The carboxylic acid functional group of ibuprofen [alpha-methyl-4-(2-methylpropyl) benzene acetic acid] is reduced to the corresponding alcohol and subsequently esterified to the acetate derivative by cultures of Nocardia species strain NRRL 5646. The alcohol and ester microbial transformation products were isolated, and their structures were determined by H and C nuclear magnetic resonance spe...

The racemic title compound, C(14)H(24)O(2)·C(3)H(6)O(2), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c as a 1:1 diol/carboxylic acid cocrystal, A-B. The lattice incorporates infinite chains of the alcohol-carboxylic acid-alcohol supra-molecular synthon, (⋯O-H⋯O=C(R)-O-H⋯O-H⋯), in which the hydrogen-bonded mol-ecules (A-B-A)(n) surround a pseudo-threefold screw axis. The carboxylic acid gro...

Esterification of several carboxylic acids with supercritical alcohols such as 1-propanol, 1butanol, 1-octanol, isoamylalcohol, ethanol, methanol, and subcritical benzyl alcohol without using any catalyst was studied. A variety of esters were synthesized very effectively using supercritical alcohols as solvent and reagent. Moderate to excellent yields were obtained depending on the nature of th...

Herein we describe the evaluation of GW0742 analogs in respect to their ability to modulate transcription mediated by the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) δ. The GW0742 analog bearing a carboxylic ester functionality in place of the carboxylic acid was partially activating both nuclear receptors at low concentration and inhibited transcription a...

A new alkaloid, 1,2,3,9-tetrahydropyrrolo(2,1-b)quinazolin-1-carboxylic acid (1), together with eight known compounds, 7-hydroxy vasicine (2), benzyl alcohol beta-D-(2'-O-beta-xylopyranosyl)glucopyranoside (3), benzyl alcohol O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), benzyl alcohol O-beta-D-primveroside (5), 3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy benzaldehyde (6), gluco-syringic acid (7), syringin (8), and liriodendrin (9...

In this study, esterification reaction of different carboxylic acids (Acetic acid, Palmitic acid, Oleic acid) with ethanol was investigated by ZnO, Al2O3-ZnO mixed oxide and phosphotungestic acid (10 %wt) immobilized on the Al2O3-ZnO mixed oxide. The heterogeneous catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, FE-SEM and EDX techniques. Optimum yield was achieved by using 10% HPW/Al2O3-ZnO as the be...
