General Description

Methyl melissate, also known as Methyl benzoate, is a chemical compound that possesses the formula C8H8O2. It is a colorless liquid that often has a mild, fruity odor reminiscent of cherries or other stone fruits. This substance is known to be a naturally occurring component in various flower species and fruits. In industry, it is commonly used in the formation of other synthetic compounds or as an additive to give fragrance in certain cosmetics and personal care items. It also plays a role in agriculture, acting as a repellent for pests. Despite its use in everyday products, exposure to large amounts of this compound can result in skin and eye irritation, indicating the need for caution in handling methyl melissate.

A new fatty aldol ester from the aerial part of Mimosa invisa (Mimosaceae)

A new aldol ester named 17-O-triacontanoylheptadecanal (1) was isolated from the aerial part of Mimosa invisa (Mimosaceae) together with eight known compounds identified as β-sitosterol (2), α-amyrine (3), lupeol (4), 4-O-methylepinumisoflavone (5), alpinumisoflavone (6), betulinic acid (7), 3-O β- D-glucopyranoside of sitosterol (8) and epirobinetinidol (9). The structures of compounds were determined on the basis of NMR and mass spectrometry data as well as by comparing the data reported in the literatures. The antimicrobial activities of the crude extract and compounds 1 and 9 were investigated against seven microbial species. The natural products showed moderate activities compared to that of the crude extract.

A facile synthesis of long chain acyclic alkanols via Kolbe coupling: 1-Docosanol and 1-triacontanol

A convenient synthesis of long chain acyclic alkanols viz., 1-docosanol and 1-triacontanol has been devised via Kolbe radical coupling of mono-methyl azelate 2, which has been synthesized from azelaic acid 1. The dimer viz. dimethyl thapsate 3, on Ba(OH)2 hydrolysis affords mono-methyl thapsate 4, which upon mixed Kolbe coupling with appropriate alkanoic acid [CH3(CH)2)nCOOH, n = 6 for 1-docosanol and n = 14 for 1-tri-acontanol] gives the cross coupled products methyl docosanoate 7 and methyl triacontanoate 8 along with the radical dimers dimethyl triacontanedioate 4′ and tetradecane 5′/triacontane 6′ as byproducts. Compounds 7 and 8 on LAH reduction in dry THF yield 1-docosanol 9 and 1- triacontanol 10, respectively in high yields. The mixed anodic coupling has been studied by varying parameters viz. degree of neutralization and molar ratio of compounds 4 and C8/C16 alkanoic acid, current density, anode material etc.
