The toxicities of a series of glycerol mono-, di-, and trialkyl ethers against Vibrio fischeri bacteria have been determined. A systematic study has been carried out and the possible structure-toxicity relationships have been discussed using different QSAR models. Inhibition of bioluminescence after 30 minutes of exposure shows relatively low toxicity of many of the glycerol derived chemicals studied. Results indicate that, as a general rule, the ecotoxicity increases with the length and number of substituents. However, if the size of the molecule increases, an extra substituent at position 2 makes the toxicity lower than that of the corresponding analogues.

An object of the present invention relates to a composition that can be used as fuel comprising: at least one hydrocarbon mixture at least one compound having formula (I) X- CH(Y) -CH2OR (I) wherein R is a C1-C8 alkyl X is selected from H and OCH(CH2OR) and Y is CH2OR or X and Y jointly correspond to the substituent =CH-OR. Said composition can be advantageously used as fuel for diesel or gasoline engines.
Synthesis of 2,5-dihydrofurans via alkylidene carbene insertion reactions

The insertion reaction of alkylidene carbenes is demonstrated to be an effective method for the synthesis of 2,5-dihydrofuran ring systems. The best results have been obtained on substrates containing electron-withdrawing substituents, which appear less prone to the competing rearrangement reaction. This insight has led to the development of a new method for the synthesis of the core structure of the squalestatin-zaragozic acid natural products.
