  • Uses 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone can be used as artificial tanning agent. 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a self-tanning agent used in cosmetics designed to provide a tanned appearance without the need for sun exposure. It is also a uV protector and a color additive. As a self-tanning agent, it reacts with amino acids found on the skin’s epidermal layer. Its effects last only a few days as the color it provides fades with the natural shedding of the stained cells. Reportedly, it works best on slightly acidic skin. DHA, when combined with lawsone, becomes an FDA Category I (approved) uV protectant. In 1973, the FDA declared that DHA is safe and suitable for use in cosmetics or drugs that are applied to color the skin, and has exempted it from color additive certification. These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

Fluorogenic stereochemical probes for transaldolases

10.1002/chem.200390110

The study focuses on the development and application of fluorogenic stereochemical probes for transaldolases, enzymes that catalyze the transfer of dihydroxyacetone between sugar phosphates. The researchers synthesized two probes, 6-O-coumarinyl-fructose (1) and its 5-deoxy derivative (2), which are designed to measure the stereoselectivity of transaldolases. These probes work by undergoing a retro-aldolization reaction catalyzed by transaldolases, producing a primary product that further reacts to release a strongly fluorescent product, umbelliferone, upon elimination in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The study also involved the synthesis of a stereoisomer related to tagatose (3), which serves as a control to assess the stereoselectivity of the enzymes. The purpose of these chemicals is to provide a fluorogenic assay system for transaldolases, suitable for high-throughput screening of enzyme libraries, particularly for directed evolution experiments aiming to alter enzyme stereoselectivity. The study includes the use of various other chemicals, such as erythrose 4-phosphate as a natural acceptor to shift the reaction equilibrium, and a range of solvents and reagents in the synthesis and purification processes.

An efficient α-hydroxylation of carbonyls using the HOF·CH3CN complex

10.1016/S0040-4020(98)01173-9

The study explores the use of the HOF·CH3CN complex for the a-hydroxylation of various carbonyl compounds. The HOF·CH3CN complex is prepared by bubbling nitrogen-diluted fluorine through aqueous acetonitrile and serves as an efficient oxygen transfer agent. It is used to oxidize the a-carbon of carbonyl compounds, converting them into their respective a-hydroxy derivatives. The study involves the use of trimethylsilyl enol ethers derived from ketones, esters, and acids as substrates. These enol ethers react with the HOF·CH3CN complex under mild conditions, typically at room temperature or below, yielding high-quality a-hydroxy products. The study demonstrates the versatility and efficiency of this method for a wide range of carbonyl compounds, including cyclic ketones, aliphatic ketones, esters, and carboxylic acids, with yields often exceeding 80%. The findings highlight the potential of the HOF·CH3CN complex as a valuable tool in organic synthesis for the functionalization of carbonyl compounds.

Catalytic conversion of fructose to 1,3-dihydroxyacetone under mild conditions

10.1016/j.catcom.2020.106098

Jing Lv et al. present the development of a novel zwitterionic catalyst containing imidazole, carboxyl, and amino functional groups to catalyze the retro-aldol condensation of fructose to produce 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA). The study demonstrates that the catalyst achieves a DHA yield of 27.9% and selectivity of 46.5% after 2 hours of reaction at pH 9.5 and 85°C. The catalyst mimics the active site of aldolase enzymes, with charged functional groups facilitating electron induction and proton transfer, which are crucial for the selective conversion of fructose to DHA under mild conditions. The research highlights the importance of pH, temperature, and the synergistic effect of functional groups in achieving high catalytic efficiency. The study also proposes a possible catalytic mechanism involving ring-opening of fructose, rotation of the C3-C4 bond, and subsequent cleavage to form DHA.
