Direct determination of glycidyl esters of fatty acids in vegetable Oils by LC-MS

An LC-MS method using a single quadrupole mass spectrometer was developed for direct analysis of glycidyl esters of fatty acids in vegetable oils. Without any sample clean-up, this method provided acceptable recovery of seven glycidyl esters, comparable results to a previously-published method utilizing two solid-phase extraction steps, and consistent detection parameters after greater than 200 injections without any cleaning operations performed. This method could readily be implemented as a screening assay for glycidyl esters in most oil laboratories.

Synthesis of allyl esters of fatty acids and their ovicidal effect on Cydia pomonella (L.)

Eight allyl esters of fatty acids were synthesized in moderate to high yields with a novel two-step procedure using glycerol as a starting material. The two-step methodology avoids the use of allyl alcohol. The first step consisted of heating at 80 °C for 48 h a 2:1:5 mmol mixture of glycerol, a fatty acid, and chlorotrimethylsilane in a solvent-free medium. The crude compound was then dissolved in butanone and heated at 115 °C in the presence of Nal. A tandem Finkelstein rearrangement-elimination reaction occurs, producing the corresponding allyl ester. The activity of these esters against Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) eggs was tested in the laboratory by topical application of one 0.1 μL drop. All of the compounds showed a concentration-mortality response and caused 100% mortality at the highest concentration tested (10 mg/mL). There was an inverse relationship between the alkyl chain length and the ovicidal activity of the allyl ester; the LC50 and the LC90 of the two compounds that have the longer alkyl chains were significantly higher than those of the rest of the compounds. The ovicidal and IGR activities of this kind of compound appear to be unprecedented.

Mild esterification and transesterification of carboxylic acids catalyzed by tetracyanoethylene and dicyanoketene dimethyl acetal

A π-acid tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and its derivative dicyanoketene dimethyl acetal (DCKDMA) were found to catalyze esterification of lauric acid with various types of alcohols. This method was successfully applied to methyl esterification of a variety of carboxylic acids including aromatic, α,β-unsaturated, α-hydroxy, and N-Cbz and N-Boc-protected α-amino acids without racemization at the range from room temperature to 60 °C. TCNE was also found to operate as a catalyst in transeslerification reaction of methyl laurate.

A FACILE SYNTHESIS OF 1(3)-ACYLGLYCEROLS

A facile route is described for the synthesis of 1(3)-acylglycerols for the first time through hydroxylation of allyl esters of fatty acids with the novel reagent cetyltrimethylammonium permanganate in a non-aqueous medium.
