The regio- and stereo-chemistries of photo-Fries reactions of 1-naphthyl (R)-2-phenylpropanoate ((R)-1) and photo-Claisen reactions of 1-naphthyl (R)-1-phenylethyl ether ((R)-2) have been investigated in the liquid and solid phases of n-nonadecane. The results are compared with those obtained in a
n-Alkanes are ubiquitous in nature and are widely used by microorganisms as carbon sources. Alkane hydroxylation by alkane monooxygenases is a critical step in the aerobic biodegradation of n-alkanes, which plays important roles in natural alkane attenuation and is used in industrial and
The liquid-phase adsorption of n-alkanes (from n-octane (C8) solvent) with different chain lengths was carried out over three metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), viz., metal-azolate framework-6 (MAF-6), copper-benzenetricarboxylate (Cu-BTC), and iron-benzenetricarboxylate (MIL-100(Fe)), and a
Experimental thermodynamic data for the solvation of xenon in n-alkanes, water and n-alcohols, from different sources, are analysed by means of a general theory of solvation. The standard solvation Gibbs energy change is given by the sum of the work spent to create a cavity suitable to host xenon
The regio- and stereo-chemistries of combination products from chiral 1-naphthoxy/(R)-2-phenylpropanoyl and prochiral 1-naphthoxy/1-phenylethyl singlet radical-pairs (radical-pairs A and B, respectively) have been studied at different temperatures in polyethylene (PE) films with different
Octa-acid (OA) and tetra-endo-methyl octa-acid (TEMOA) are water-soluble, deep-cavity cavitands with nanometer-sized nonpolar pockets that readily bind complementary guests, such as n-alkanes. Experimentally, OA exhibits a progression of 1:1 to 2:2 to 2:1 host/guest complexes (X:Y where X is the
The role of the structure of three isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (IRMOFs) on their adsorption behavior has been studied in this work, selecting different kinds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as adsorbates (alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, aromatics and chlorinated). For this purpose,
Perfluoroisobutylene a is pulmonotoxic chemical generated during pyrolysis of perfluoro-nalkanes (polytetrafluoroethylene). The mechanisms of acute pulmonary toxicity induced by perfluoroisobutylene have not been studied yet. The analysis of tissues of brown frogs showed that the products of
Measurements of retention factors by gas chromatography on up to 10 complementary stationary phases at up to 5 temperatures for each stationary phase and liquid-liquid partition coefficients in three biphasic organic solvent systems (n-hexane-acetonitrile, n-heptane-N,N-dimethylformamide and
The measurement of retention factors by gas chromatography on up to 15 stationary phases at several temperatures in the range 60-240 degrees C for each stationary phase and liquid-liquid partition coefficients in three biphasic organic solvent systems (n-hexane-acetonitrile,
Activated perethylated pillar[5]arene crystals show an unexpected alkane-shape- and -length-selective gate-opening behavior. Activated crystals were obtained upon removing solvents from perethylated pillar[5]arene crystals by heating. The activated crystals could quantitatively take up n-alkanes
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are known to oxidize hydrocarbons, albeit with limited substrate specificity across classes of these compounds. Here we report a P450 monooxygenase (CYP63A2) from the model ligninolytic white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium that was found to possess a
Pairwise interactions between n-alkanes from decane to octadecane in water have been studied by single-molecule force spectroscopy. The interacting molecules are covalently tethered to the glass substrate and to the probe of an atomic force microscope by water-soluble linkers to facilitate
Colored crystals of pillar[5]arene containing one benzoquinone unit were found to exhibit alkane-shape-selective vapochromic behavior. Activated pillar[5]arene crystals, prepared by removing solvated methanol from pillar[5]arene crystals, changed color from dark-brown to light-red after exposure to
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) function as recognition compounds with the best evidence coming from social insects such as ants and honey bees. The major exocrine gland involved in hydrocarbon storage in ants is the post-pharyngeal gland (PPG) in the head. It is still not clearly understood where
