- SELECTIVE FORMOSE REACTION CATALYZED BY DIETHYLAMINOETHANOL
-
Selective formose reactions were achieved by diethylaminoethanol as catalyst at 100 deg C in the presence and the absence of D-fructose as co-catalyst.The reaction in the presence of the co-catalyst gave 2-hydroxymethylglycerol and other three main products in high yields, whereas in its absence pentaerythritol was the sole product.

- SELECTIVE FORMOSE REACTION INITIATED BY PHOTO- AND γ-IRRADIATION
-
A selective formose synthesis was achieved by photo- and γ-irradiation of formaldehyde in the presence of base.Photoirradiation of aqueous formaldehyde solution gave pentaerythritol as a single product, while γ-irradiation resulted in the formation of glycolaldehyde as the main product.These results suggest that the formose reaction under photo- and γ-irradiation is considerably different from the thermal formose reaction.

- A new type of pH-sensitive phospholipid
-
We describe the synthesis and characterization of a type of pH-sensitive pentaerythritol phospholipids, using a trialkoxybenzylidene acetal as the acid-labile moiety. This lipid was prepared by an eight-step synthesis via a latentiation strategy. Liposomes were prepared via the thin film extrusion method. The changes of liposomal sizes were measured by dynamic light scattering. Content release rates of the liposomes as a function of pH were monitored by using a calcein fluorescence dequenching assay. These results indicated that this new liposomal system was capable of releasing its contents under mildly acidic conditions. At last, in vitro cytotoxicity was assayed against three cell lines, suggesting this type of phospholipids was low toxic.

- METHOD OF PREPARING PENTAERYTHRITOL
-
A method of preparing monopentaerythritol, dipentaerthritol, and sodium formate through high temperature condensation and cascade recrystallization is disclosed. The method lowers the energy consumption dramatically and improves the cost-effectiveness by carrying out the reaction in a non-low-temperature zone, and thereby avoiding the requirement for refrigeration. The method alleviates the difficulty of separation and improves the product quality by means of cascade separation process, and thereby avoiding the low purity from a single separation. In addition, the mother liquor obtained after each separation step is recycled to the previous step as the recycling liquor, which avoids discharging waste, increases the product yield and lowers raw materials consumption.

- Electrochemical reduction of pentaerythrityltetranitrate (PETN) and metabolites

The reduction-cascade of PETN is described as a combination of cyclic-voltammetric measurements and analytical results together with synthesis of PETN-metabolites; furthermore the electroreduction of pentaerythityldinitrate (PEDN) in the presence and absence of cystine as well as cystine and electrogenerated superoxide-radicalanions to elucidate the interaction of PETN with thiol-species. PETN was recognized as precursor for a initial radicalic process, followed by intermediate formation of pentaerythityltxinitratealdehyde (PENA) inside a self-reducing nitrate-system with NO as final product, which may explain its special position in comparison with other pharmaceutically applied nitratestructures. It could be proved, that a cystine-pool reacts as a selective moderator inside the reduction of PEDN without being interfered by O2?-, yielding pentaerythitylmononitrate (PEMN) meanwhile in the absence of cystine only pentaerythrite (PE) is formed.

By dispensing with a phase transfer catalyst, which remains in the waste water and must be disposed of expensively, and by the reusability of the solvent mixture, the process is more environment-friendly and more economical than processes known to date.

- SELECTIVE FORMOSE REACTIONS INITIATED BY γ-IRRADIATION
-
Formose reactions initiated by γ-irradiation in the presence of inorganic bases selectively produce ethylene glycol and pentaerythritol as major products at room temperature in the presence of calcium hydroxide.The yield ratio of ethylene glycol to pentaerythritol depends on the initial concentration of formaldehyde.At low concentration, the main product is ethylene glycol, whereas pentaerythritol increases at high concentration.The decomposition of formaldehyde is inhibited by ethanol, a hydroxyl-radical scavenger.These results suggest that radical reactions play an important role in radiation-initiated formose synthesis, in contrast to thermal formose reactions.

- SIDE REACTIONS LEADING TO ETHERS AND ACETALS.
-
Condensation of formaldehyde with acetaldehyde results in formation of dipentaerythritol and a number of similar byproducts whose molecules include five-carbon units with central carbon atoms, linked by ether or acetal bonds. A reaction mechanism is proposed for the condensation of formaldehyde with acetaldehyde with formation of byproducts. The proposed mechanism is verified experimentally. The results of photometric measurements at 280 nm during the course of the process provide direct experimental confirmation of the rapid reversibility of the main and side reactions, ensuring the observed interrelationships of the reaction system. The experimental observations demonstrate that the reversible reactions of the process are interrelated, as is indicated by the proposed mechanism. It is concluded that proposed mechanism with side reactions of formation of dipentaerythritol and similar products from pentaerythritol and unsaturated intermediate aldehydes is correct.

Therefore the suggested mechanism of condensation of formaldehyde with acetaldehyde is correct in principle.
