AI Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to create new derivatives of 5-fluorouracil that include 2-5 carbon alkanoic acid.
- Researchers used a "one-pot" method involving hydrolysis and protection of 5-fluorouracil to achieve high yields of the desired compounds (75%-85%).
- The study resulted in the synthesis of 16 new 5-fluorouracil derivatives, confirmed by spectral analysis, demonstrating effective methods for producing N1 and N3-substituted variants.
Article Abstract
Objective: To synthesize 5-fluorouracil derivatives containing 2-5 carbon alkanoic acid.
Methods: N1-substituted derivatives containing alkanoic acid were prepared through the hydrolysis of these products of the reaction of haloesters and excessive amount of 5-fluorouracil. 5-fluorouracil were protected with tertbutoxycarbonyl (Boc) at N1-position, then reacted with haloesters and deprotected in turn, through this "one-pot" method, N3-substituted 5-FU alkanoic acid esters can be obtained, with high yields (75%-85%). The hydrolysis of these products gave N3-substituted 5-FU alkanoic acid at last.
Results: Including 10 new compounds and 8 aim compounds, 16 derivatives of 5-fluorouracil were obtained and confirmed by the spectral detection.
Conclusions: The reaction of excessive amount of 5-fluorouracil and haloesters can produce a good yield of N1-substituted derivatives. N3-substituted derivatives can be obtained through the reactions of 5-fluorouracil protected with Boc at N1-position and haloesters.

A series of 2-arylhydrazinylidene-3-oxo acids (AHOAs) was prepared by dealkylation of alkyl-2-arylhydrazinylidene-3-oxo-3-alkanoates with AlBr. Using X-Ray, NMR spectroscopy, and quantum mechanical calculations (QM), the existence of AHOAs in a thermodynamically favorable Z-form stabilized by two intramolecular H-bonds was established. All AHOAs had acceptable ADME parameters.

Global concern continues to mount regarding the accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in soil. However, little is known about how various types of MPs influence the properties of soil ecosystems. Here, we evaluated the effects of six different types of MPs, including low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyamide (PA), polystyrene (PS), polyhydroxy-alkanoates (PHA), polybutadiene styrene (PBS), and polylactide (PLA), on soil physicochemical properties, enzyme activities, and microbial communities.

Polymers such as soy protein isolate, poly(hydroxy alkanoate), poly(lactic acid), and thermoplastic starch are all synthetically modified bio-based resins and are costly. The cowpea-derived resin with the least chemical modification was used in this study as a matrix for the formation of composites with natural fibers at a lesser cost.

Peripheral functionalization of a quaternary carbon via C(sp)-H bond activation has made significant progress in recent years. However, direct editing of a quaternary carbon through Csp-Csp bond cleavage and refunctionalization of nonstrained acyclic molecules remain underexploited. Herein we report a reaction in which a methyl group attached to a quaternary carbon is shifted to its neighboring secondary carbon with concurrent oxidation of the quaternary C-C single bond to the C═C double bond.

With an increase in the commercialization of bioplastics, the importance of screening for plastic-degrading strains and microbes has emerged. Conventional methods for screening such strains are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, we suggest a method for quickly and effectively screening plastic-degrading microbial strains through dual esterase assays for soil and isolated strains, using -nitrophenyl alkanoates as substrates.
