Quick ViewTrehalose as a natural disaccharide presents in plants, invertebrates, fungi and prokaryotes, but not in mammals. A white, odorless, crystalline powder with a sweet taste, it is best known as a source of energy and protectant to survive harsh environmental conditions in many organisms, but its applications cover a wide array of disciplines. Research engagement…

Quick ViewOrganic and Medicinal Chemistry discusses the principal branches of chemistry, as they are more widely studied than any other subjects in chemistry. Very often, organic and medicinal chemistry have been defined collectively as a hybrid discipline of many other subjects, particularly biology, chemistry, medicine and pharmacy. The synthesis of molecules, mechanism of a process, studies…

Quick ViewGreen Chemistry is a philosophy that has been implemented in different areas of science. Organic solvents allow recovery of bioactive compounds without contaminating the environment, since they are non-petroleum solvents and cheap. This book focuses on the properties, applications and health effects of organic solvents. Chapter One examines the chemistry and food applications of green…

Quick ViewSurfactants (surface-active-agents) are amphiphilic organic compounds that lower the surface tension (or interfacial tension) between two different phases. Surfactants and emulsifiers, including personal hygiene, cosmetic products, toothpaste, and many other pharmaceutical by-products, resemble part of our daily routine basic activities. The market for surfactants and emulsifying products is therefore huge and demands are ever increasing.…

Quick ViewDiterpenoids are chemical compounds containing 20 carbon atoms and belong to the terpenoid class. They derive from geranylgeraniol, a C20 precursor, have a C20H32 basic structure, and are composed of four isoprene units. These features make diterpenoids different from simple terpenes, which possess only 10 carbon atoms. A diterpenoid molecule may also include alcohol, phenol,…

Quick ViewTransesterification is an organic reaction in which the organic group R′′ of an ester is exchanged with another organic group R′ of an alcohol according to a mechanism called alcoholysis. In this compilation, the authors address the way the transesterification process has become widely popular in biodiesel production, on an industrial scale, by reaction of…

Quick ViewOrganic and medicinal chemistry are definitely the principal branches of chemistry as they are more widely studied than any other subjects in chemistry. Very often, organic and medicinal chemistry have been defined as a hybrid discipline of many other subjects that include biology, chemistry, medicine and pharmacy. The synthesis of molecules, mechanism of a process,…

Quick ViewIn the foremost chapter of Indole: Synthesis, Functions and Reactions, derivatives of hydrogenated pyrido[4,3-b]indoles as potential neuroprotectors have been synthesized. Different substituents were introduced into position 8 of the carboline fragment of the molecule: methyl-, methoxy-, fluorine- and chlorine-ones. Biological tests have shown that all the studied compounds can modulate glutamate-dependent uptake of calcium ions…

Quick ViewPhenolic Compounds: Structure, Uses and Health Benefits opens with a discussion on phenolic substances such as gallic acid, catechin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and quercetin. The most common analytical methods (based on spectrophotometric, chromatographic or electrochemical techniques) for determining phenolic compounds applied to a wide range of sample sources are presented.…

Quick ViewThis book opens with a discussion on the syntheses of acyclic polyketides by using epoxide opening reactions. The stereoselective epoxidations of allylic alcohols, including catalytic asymmetric epoxidation reactions and stereospecific reactions due to substrate-control, are described shortly. Afterwards, different epoxide opening reactions and applications in natural product synthesis are reviewed. The authors highlight the recent…

Quick ViewOver the last few years, there has been a growing interest in the development of sustainable processes for large-scale production of commodities. As such, Alcohol Oxidation: Reaction, Effects and Applications addresses recent developments in metal-catalyzed selective oxidation reactions of alcohols to carbonyl-containing compounds under unconventional conditions. Following this, the authors examine how simple alcohols have…

Quick ViewIn this collection, terpenes in oregano, mainly represented by the essential oils, are extensively documented for their antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, with the goal of describing the biological properties of terpenes from oregano and their mechanism of action. Next, the authors focus on solid acid catalysts as potential heterogeneous catalysts for…
