Synthesis of 2-hydroxy-3-substituted naphthoquinones using the Heck reaction
(2007-06)
An efficient Heck coupling of 2-hydroxy-3-iodo-naphthoquinone with a series of electron-deficient alkenes in aqueous solution has been accomplished. The method is characterized by simple conditions and facile work-up to ...
Biodegradation of Pharmaceuticals by Fungi and Metabolites Identification
(2012-01-01)
Pharmaceutical compounds comprise a widely employed group of
therapeutic agents now considered as emerging micropollutants. This chapter
summarizes the state of the art in the degradation of pharmaceuticals by fungi ...
Rapid shift in microbial community structure in a neutral hydrothermal hot spring from Costa Rica
(2020)
In this work, we characterize the geochemistry and microbial community of Bajo las Peñas, a neutral (pH 6.5-7.4), hot spring (T = 62.0-68.0°C) located near Turrialba Volcano, Costa Rica. The microbiota at its two sources ...
Propargylation of Carbonyl Compounds: An Efficient Method for the Synthesis of Homopropargyl Alcohols
(1998)
Controlled dilithiation of allene, with two equivalents of n-butytlithium, produces the propargyl dianion 5. The latter couple efficiently with carbonyl compounds to produce homopropargyl alcohols in high yields.
Desarrollo de sensores electroquímicos para la determinación de drogas sintéticas en fluidos biológicos y muestras de incautación
(2023-07-09)
La cantidad de nuevas sustancias psicoactivas, popularmente conocidas con términos como: drogas emergentes, drogas de diseño, drogas sintéticas o drogas recreativas, aumenta en el mercado global de las drogas cada año. El ...
Bile salts and derivatives: Rigid unconventional amphiphiles as dispersants, carriers and superstructure building blocks
(2015)
Steroidal surfactants like bile salts have a rigid amphiphilic structure significantly different from the typical head–tail one. As a result, these molecules show peculiar features in their self-assembly behavior and ...
Concomitant prediction of environmental fate and toxicity of chemical compounds
(2020)
The environmental fate of many functional molecules that are produced on a large scale as precursors or as additives to specialty goods (plastics, fibers, construction materials, etc.), let alone those synthesized by the ...
Ethyl propionate: Synergistic kairomone for african palm weevil,Rhynchophorus phoenicis L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(1994-04)
Small trunk pieces of a freshly felled 10-year-old oil palm,Elaeis quineensis (Jacq.), were placed in a modified Nalgene desiccator, and volatiles captured for six days on Porapak Q. Gas chromatographic (GC) analysis of ...
Electrochemical biosensor for quantitative determination of fentanyl based on immobilized cytochrome c on multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified screen-printed carbon electrodes
(2022)
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid used to treat severe pain. New administration routes toward its illegal consumption
for recreational purposes pose a growing threat to public health, either due to misuse or abuse ...
Predation of the Rolled-Leaf Beetle Cephaloleia kressi García-Robledo (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) by the Rove Beetle Phanolinus Sp. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Xanthopygina) in a Montane Forest of Costa Rica
(2020-12-22)
The genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat includes 215 species, known as rolled-leaf beetles, all of which are restricted to the Neotropics (Garcı́a-Robledo et al. 2015; Staines and Garcı́a-Robledo 2014). These beetles complete their ...
