Amorphous SiO2-SO3H [1] with a small surface area and 1.32-mmol H+/g was used for the one-step preparation of solketal from glycerol and acetone; a 20%-w/w catalyst mixture (10% [1] and 10% (Bu4N)(BF4) was found to be very efficient for the synthesis of disolketal ether and of oxygenated biofuels fatty acids solketal esters (FASEs), by direct esterification of the caprylic, lauric, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids with solketal in a 4:1 acid:solketal ratio in refluxing toluene. Solketal acetate was also produced in quantitative yields.

- Pheromone synthesis. Part 253: Synthesis of the racemates and enantiomers of triglycerides of male Drosophila fruit flies with special emphasis on the preparation of enantiomerically pure 1-monoglycerides
-
The racemates and enantiomers of triglycerides 1aee (2,3-ditigloyloxypropyl esters of palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids) of male Drosophila fruit flies were synthesized in three steps from the racemate and enantiomers of 2,3-acetoneglycerol (2) via 1-monoglycerides 4aee derived from the above fatty acids. Appropriate conditions were established for the preparation of enantiomerically pure 1-monoglycerides 4aee, and their enantiomeric purities were determined by NMR analysis of the corresponding bis-(R)-MTPA esters.

- Evaluation of a glycerol derived biofuel by thermal analysis
-
This work describes thermal analysis evaluation of a glycerol derived compound (fatty acid esters of (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methanol) developed to work as a biofuel. Mixtures of these ketal-glyceryl esters with fatty acid methyl esters typical of soybean biodiesel were prepared and evaluated in relation to biodiesel critical thermal properties such as temperature of crystallization, thermal stability and volatilization measured by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The volatility of the products containing fatty acid methyl esters and (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methyl esters could be predicted by thermogravimetric analyses conducted in nitrogen that avoided time consuming distillation and greatly reduced material expenditure.

- Monoglycerides from the brown alga Sargassum sagamianum: Isolation, synthesis, and biological activity
-
Polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived monoglycerides were characterized from the marine brown alga Sargassum sagamianum, collected from Jeju Island, Korea. A new compound of this structural class was isolated and determined to be 1-octadecatetraenoyl glycerol, by combined spectroscopic methods. Based on the structures and bioactivity of these compounds, a series of monoglycerides were synthesized using glycerol and various fatty acids. Several compounds exhibited moderate to significant inhibition of phospholipase A2 and cyclooxygenase-2.

- Practical syntheses of triacylglycerol regioisomers containing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids
-
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) is known to protect against a range of degenerative disease conditions and aid in the development of eye and brain function in infants. In dietary lipids DHA is found primarily in the triacylglycerol (TAG) form. However, the effects of the positional distribution of DHA in TAG on lipid functional properties such as bioactivity and oxidative stability are not clearly understood. Studies on this subject for the most part are limited by a lack of regioisomerically pure TAG model compounds containing DHA or similar long-chain (LC)-polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). This paper reports on the development of a practical procedure, based on chemical and enzymatic reactions, for the syntheses of regioisomerically enriched, symmetrical and unsymmetrical TAG isomers containing two palmitic acid and one of linoleic acid, linolenic acid, or DHA. 1,3-Selective acylation of glycerol with vinyl esters of fatty acids catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase and direct coupling with fatty acids in the presence of the coupling agents 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and 4-dimethylaminopyridine furnished 1,3-dihexadecanoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl glycerol and its unsymmetrical isomer 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-3-docosahexaenoyl glycerol in 99 and 60% yield, respectively. Critical to the success of the unsymmetrical TAG synthesis is the demonstration that PUFA-containing glycerol acetonides can readily survive appropriately tailored acid-catalyzed conditions. In this way, sufficient quantities of highly regioisomerically enriched PUFA-containing unsymmetrical monoacylglycerols (MAG) and TAG have now become routinely accessible. The methods are amenable to scale-up and could be adopted for regioenriched synthesis of a wide range of TAG. AOCS 2007.

- Host-recognizing kairomones for parasitic wasp, Anisopteromalus calandrae, from larvae of azuki bean weevil, Callosobruchus chinensis.
-
Host-recognizing kairomones for the stinging behavior of the parasitic wasp, Anisopteromalus calandrae, were identified on host azuki bean weevil larvae, Callosobruchus chinensis (L.). The kairomones were extracted with acetone from Chinese green beans, from which emerged wasps and host weevils had been removed. The kairomones are a mixture of triacylglycerols and fatty acids, each of which is separately active, and with no observable synergistic effect between them. These compounds are known to be constituents of an oviposition-marking pheromone of host azuki bean weevils. However, they differ from the previously reported saturated hydrocarbons and diacylglycerols of the kairomone that another parasitic wasp, Dinarmus basalis, uses for the host recognition of C. chinensis. Thus, A. calandrae and D. basalis selectively utilize different constituents of the oviposition-marking pheromone of C. chinensis as host-recognizing kairomones.

- Study of the effect of DATEM. 1. Influence of fatty acid chain length on rheology and baking
-
To answer the question of which fatty acid residue is the most effective, diacetyltartaric esters of monoglycerides (DATEMs) with fatty acids of chain lengths 6:0-20:0 were synthesized. The activity of synthesized DATEMs and commercial DATEM products was studied by means of rheological methods and a microscale baking test with 10 g of flour. Variation of the acyl residue from 6:0 to 22:0 showed that stearic acid (18:0) had the best effect on the baking activity of DATEM (loaf volume increased by 62%). DATEMs containing unsaturated fatty acids (18:1, 18:2) or DATEMs produced from diacylglycerols instead of monoacylglycerols showed a slight increase of the loaf volumes. A slight effect of DATEM on the rheology of dough was observed. However, much greater was the effect on the gluten isolated from doughs prepared with DATEM. The resistance of gluten to extension was increased after the addition of increasing amounts of DATEM (0.1-0.5%). Within the series of DATEMs derived from the homologous series of monoacylglycerols the product based on glycerol monostearate (18:0) showed a maximum increase of the gluten resistance.

- Synthesis of Triacylglyceride Hydroperoxides Derived from Linoleic Acid
-
Four triacylglyceride hydroperoxides were synthesized by DCC-mediated esterification of a dimethylperketal of 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid with glycerides, in which on e or two linoleoyl groups were linked, and by final removal of the protective group with a mixture of THF, acetic acid and water.
