A clear pattern emerges involving the cleavage of the bond linking the menthyl ring to the carboxy group, followed by further degradation of the fragments. The major pyroproducts were p-menth-l-ene pyrolysed at a higher temperature or p-menth-2-ene pyrolysed at a lower temperature, and various derivatives of cyclohexene pyrolyzed from the menthyl ring. In addition, some of the products were also iden- tified as derivatives of benzene from the pyrolysis of benzyloxyl moiety.展开更多

The method is based on pre-column derivatization of the analytes with the derivatization reagent (–)-(1R)-menthyl chloroformate. The derivatization reaction selectively gives diastereomeric carbamates that are resolvable on an achiral non-polar GC column. The developed technique covers variously substituted THIQs, which differ significantly in volatility, steric and electronic properties. In all cases, the resolution factors (R) exceeded the value of 1.5. The method represents a robust way of analysis of mixtures of THIQs, which are often present in various matrixes such as body fluids, tissues and reaction mixtures.展开更多

The resulting grafted polymer was obtained as follows. First, the carbonyl of optically active helical poly(menthyl vinyl ketone)(poly-MVK) was reduced to hydroxyl group with lithium aluminum hydride as a reductant to yield poly(1-menthyl-2-propen-1-ol)(poly-MPO). Second, the hydroxyl group of poly-MPO reacted with epichlorohydrin to yield methyloxirane-loading poly-MPO[(poly-MPO)-MO]. Third, the(poly-MPO)-MO reacted with amine to pro- duce optically active polymer bearing chiral amino alcohol[(poly-MPO)-APO]. The (poly-MPO)-APO was applied to the asymmetric addition of phenylacetylene to aromatic ketone. Good enantioselectivities were achieved and the catalyst could be recovered and reused 5 times with unchanged enantioselectivity and slightly decreased activity.展开更多

The rcaction afforded N-aryl propionic amide in excel- lent yield. In contrast, the expected nucleophilic photo-S_(RN) 1 substitution originating from the carb- anion was observed in the case of t-butyl propionate. According to the proposed mechanisms and MO correlation diagrams of the coupling step of nucleophiles with aryl radical, the interesting con- trast is reasonably attributed to the variation in energy gap between π~*c-o and π~*Ar of (ArNu)- Usually, the odd electron of (ArNu)- is weightly populated at π~*c-o, however, the diminished priv- ilege of π~*c-o in menthyl propionate promotes a dominant population of the odd electron at π~*Ar, which leads to the fragmentation of (ArNu)- into the starting carbanion and aryl radical.展开更多
