In this work, the effect of hexyl branch content on thermal behavior of a fractionated ethylene/1-octene copolymer with emphasis on high temperatures was investigated. The ethylene/1-octene copolymer was carefully fractionated to different fractions with homogenous hexyl branch (HB) content by preparative temperature rising elution fractionation (P-TREF) method. The P-TREF fractions were therma...

A commercial nonylphenol (NP) reagent was separated into 14 fractions, NP1 to NP14 using a gas chromatograph equipped with a preparative fraction collector (GC-PFC). The identifi cation of the major components of 14 fractions was attempted by analysis of their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, and the estrogenicity of the isomers was tested in a recombinant yeast screen system. Eleven s...

The present study was conducted to elucidate the metabolic pathways by which enlarged liver size of patients undergoing disorders of orotic acid de novo metabolism and those patients of enlarged liver size induced by di(2-ethyl hexyl) phthalate in rats as animal model. The results showed that rats-treated with orotic acid generated liver triglyceride content 400% higher than that of the control...

To examine the biochemical metabolism of aroma volatiles derived from fatty acids, pear fruits were incubated in vitro with metabolic precursors of these compounds. Aroma volatiles, especially esters, were significantly increased, both qualitatively and quantitatively, in pear fruits fed on fatty acid metabolic precursors. Cultivars having different flavor characteristics had distinctly differe...

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is employed to investigate the structure and longchain branch (LCB) content of metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene (PE). A novel scaling approach is applied to SANS data to determine themole fraction branch content (φbr) of LCBs in PE. The approach also provides the average number of branch sites per chain (nbr) and the average number of branch sites per min...

Radiation injury to the lung is the result of acute and chronic free radical formation, and there are currently few effective means of mitigating such injury. Studies in rodents indicate that superoxide dismutase mimetics may be effective in this regard; however, studies in humans or large animals are lacking. We hypothesized that post-exposure treatment with the lipophilic mitochondrial supero...

The potential applications of N-hexyl-4-aminobutyl glycosides in the mass spectrometric investigation of glycan structure and in the investigation of glycan functions were studied. Under collision-induced dissociation (CID) conditions, sodiated glycosides carrying N-hexyl-4-aminobutyl groups effectively produced a hemiacetal species (C-ions), which is important in mass-spectrometry-based struct...

The title compound, C(15)H(23)NO(2)S, contains cyclo-hexyl and ethyl substituents on the sulfonamide N atom and the cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a classic chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring plane and the mean plane through the six atoms of the cyclo-hexyl ring is 59.92 (6)°. In the crystal structure, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into sheets extending in the bc pl...

In the title compound, C(16)H(19)ClO(2)S, the cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation and the aryl-sulfinyl unit is positioned equatorial relative to the cyclo-hexyl group. The least-squares plane through all six C atoms of the cyclo-hexyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 74.80 (6)° with the mean plane of the benzofuran fragment. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular ...

The title compound, C(15)H(23)NO(2)S, synthesized by N-methyl-ation of cyclo-hexyl-amine sulfonamide with propyl iodide, is of inter-est as a precursor to biologically active sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds. The cyclo-hexyl ring exists in the chair form and the dihedral angle between the ring plane of the benzene ring and that of the cyclo-hexyl ring is 50.13 (9)°.
