2-Butyl 2-dodecenoate has been synthesized from lauric acid and sec-butanol. The study of the biological activity of this substance has demonstrated its property as a sex attractant for males of Jordanita graeca, Jordanita globulariae and Theresimima ampellophaga (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae, Procridinae). The latter species is the grape pest in southern Europe. The attractant obtained can be used for the detection of species, for monitoring their numbers in nature and for the elaboration of ecological methods of pest control.

This research presents novel ibuprofen derivatives in the form of alkyl ester salts of L-amino acids with potential analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties for potential use in transdermal therapeutic systems. New derivatives of ()-2-[4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl]propionic acid were synthesized using hydrochlorides of alkyl esters (ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, -butyl, -butyl, and pentyl) of L-glutamine. These were further transformed into alkyl esters of L-amino acid ibuprofenates through neutralization and protonation reactions.

A novel bench-stable V-catalyst [(L)VO](ClO) was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and FT-IR, UV-visible, and EPR spectroscopies, which confirmed its excellent catalytic activity. In application, aldehydes are rapidly converted into their corresponding esters without additives in a one-pot manner using a newly developed catalyst [(L)VO](ClO) and HO as a green oxidant. The developed method is compatible with a broad range of densely substituted aldehydes and allows for the facile preparation of aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic esters, including esters derived from CDOD, methanol, ethanol, -propanol, -butanol, -butyl alcohol, and propargylic alcohol.

Dichloromethane replacement: towards greener chromatography Kirkwood-Buff integrals.

Anal Methods

February 2023

York Structural Biology Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, University of York, York, YO10 5DD, UK.

Dichloromethane (DCM) is a useful and advantageous solvent used in pharmaceutical development due to its low cost, miscibility with other organic solvents, high volatility, and ability to solubilize drug molecules of variable polarities and functionalities. Despite this favourable behaviour, efforts to identify safer and more sustainable alternatives to hazardous, halogenated solvents is imperative to the expansion of green chemistry. In this work, bio-derived esters -butyl acetate, -butyl acetate, ethyl isobutyrate, and methyl pivalate are experimentally identified as safe and sustainable alternatives to directly replace DCM within thin-layer chromatography (TLC) in the analysis of small, common drug molecules.
