Mild alkaline hydrolysis of hindered esters in non-aqueous solution

Sterically hindered esters of carboxylic acids, which are considered very resistant to saponification, were rapidly and efficiently saponified in a non-aqueous medium using NaOH in MeOH/CH2Cl2 (1:9) at room temperature. Furthermore, this reaction protocol was extended and successfully applied to the hydrolysis of tosylates and N-tosyl indoles.

Esters, retroesters, and a retroamide of palmitic acid: Pool for the first selective inhibitors of N-palmitoylethanolamine-selective acid amidase

Cyclohexyl hexadecanoate, hexadecyl propionate, and N-(3-hydroxypropionyl)pentadecanamide, respectively ester, retroester, and retroamide derivatives of N-palmitoylethanolamine, represent the first selective inhibitors of "N-palmitoylethanolamine hydrolase" described so far. These compounds are devoid of affinity for CB1 and CB 2 receptors and characterized by high percentages of inhibition of N-palmitoylethanolamine-selective acid amidase (84.0, 70.5, and 76.7% inhibition at 100 μM, respectively) with much lower inhibitory effect on either fatty acid amide hydrolase or the uptake of anandamide.
