A collaborative study was conducted using a modified AOAC method (sugars in chocolate) for the determination of fructose, glucose, sucrose, and maltose in presweetened cereals by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Eight samples consisting of 6 products were analyzed in duplicate by the HPLC method and the AOAC Lane-Eynon method. The AOAC method was modified to use water-alcohol (1 + 1) and Sep-Pak C18 cartridges for sample cleanup. The HPLC results indicate precision comparable to the Lane-Eynon method and the chocolate method. The modified HPLC method has been adopted official first action.
Diarylated 2-(trifluoromethyl)quinolines, containing two identical aryl groups, were prepared by Suzuki-Miyaura crosscoupling reaction of 4,6-dibromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline. In order to obtain quinolines, containing two different aryl groups, the starting material had to be modified in order to obtain a high degree of regioselectivity of the reaction. The 6bromo-4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline with arylboronic acids allowed for a one-pot, two-step synthesis of various products in very good yields. The synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their potential to inhibit ecto-5'-nucleotidase, both human and rat source. Most derivatives exhibited selective inhibition on human ecto-5'-nucleotidases (h-e5'NT) with significant inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) values. The results were evaluated by docking studies.[a] Dr.
4‐Bromo‐2,3,5‐trichloro‐6‐iodopyridine has been synthesized for the first time and applied in chemo‐ and site‐selective Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions. This novel starting material allows the selective synthesis of pentaarylpyridines with up to four different aryl substituents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
