Gas chromatographic determination of the interconversion energy barrier for dialkyl 2,3-pentadienedioate enantiomers.

The enantiomers of dialkyl 2,3-pentadienedioate undergo interconversion during gas chromatographic separation on chiral stationary phases. In this paper the on-column apparent interconversion kinetic and thermodynamic activation data were determined for dimethyl, diethyl, propylbutyl and dibutyl 2,3-pentadienedioate enantiomers by gas chromatographic separation of the racemic mixtures on a capillary column containing a polydimethylsiloxane stationary phase coupled to 2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tertbutyldimethylsilyl-beta-cyclodextrin. A deconvolution method was used to determine the individual enantiomer peak areas and retention times that are needed to calculate the interconversion rate constants and the energy barriers.

Gas chromatographic determination of the interconversion energy barrier for dimethyl-2,3-pentadienedioate enantiomers.

The enantiomers of dimethyl-2,3-pentadienedioate undergo interconversion during gas chromatographic separation on 2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl-beta-, 2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl-gamma-, and 2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert butyldimethylsilyl-beta-CD chiral stationary phases. The combination of a deconvolution method with an internal standard was used to determine individual enantiomer peak areas and retention times needed for the calculation of the interconversion rate constants and the energy barrier for dimethyl-2,3-pentadienedioate enantiomers. The kinetic and thermodynamic data obtained for the interconversion data (rate constants, energy barriers, enthalpies, and entropies) were in good agreement with the published data (Trapp, O.

Study of Trichoderma viride metabolism under conditions of the restriction of oxidative processes.

Trichoderma viride was capable of growth and conidiation in the presence of high concentrations of the uncoupler 3,3',4',5-tetrachlorosalicylanilide (up to 100 micromol x L(-1) and of the respiration inhibitor mucidin (up to 100 micromol x L(-1) ) in both submerged and surface cultivation. When vegetative mycelia were cultivated on the solid Czapek-Dox medium with yeast autolysate under an anaerobic and CO2-containing atmosphere, the growth was observed only rarely but the microorganism survived as long as 3 months under these conditions. Major products of metabolism of both aerobic and anaerobic submerged mycelia were identified by means of 1H-NMR measurements.

Transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy, section after Sugioka.

Background: Femoral caput necrosis is an actual therapeutic problem, because it appears mainly in mid-aged people. The necrotic focus is most often localized in the proximal and ventral parts of the femoral bone capitulum, which, from the biomechanical point of view is the most loaded part. These cases can be possibly treated by transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy.
