A conformational analysis of the methyl ester of O-acetyl-L-lactyl-L-alanine and the methylamide of N-acetyl-L-alanyl-L-lactic acid

Summary 1. The most preferred extended conformations for Ac-L-Lac-L-Ala-OMe and Ac-L-Ala-L-Lac-NHMe in a polar medium are R-R, R-B, B-R, and B-B. Of the conformations with a hydrogen bond of the 1–4 type, the most stable are R-R and R-B.2. There is an interrelationship between the conformational states of neighboring hydroxy and amino acid residues.3. The stereochemical characteristics of the ester group are similar to those of the amide group.M. M. Shemyakin Institute of the Chemistry of Natural Compounds, Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

Chemistry, commentary, and community: discussion of “an examination of the vaporization enthalpies and vapor pressures of pyrazine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, and 1,3,5-triazine” by Lipkind and Chickos

Vaporization enthalpies for the isomeric diazines were discussed within the context of recent measurements and estimation techniques. It is suggested that pyridazine shows enigmatic behavior.

The vaporization enthalpies and vapor pressures of a series of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters by correlation gas chromatography

Vaporization enthalpies for methyl myristoleate (methyl Z 9-tetradecenonate), methyl 10-pentadecenoate, methyl palmitoleate (methyl Z 9-hexadecenoate), methyl Z 10-heptadecenoate, methyl oleate (methyl Z 9-octadecenoate), methyl linoleate (methyl Z,Z 9,12-octadecadienoate), methyl linolenate (methyl Z,Z,Z 9,12,15-octadecatrienoate), methyl Z 11-eicosenoate, methyl Z,Z 11,14-eicosadienoate, methyl Z,Z,Z 11,14,17-eicosatrieneoate, methyl arachidonate (methyl Z,Z,Z,Z 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraeneoate), methyl Z,Z,Z,Z,Z 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaeneoate, methyl erucate (methyl Z 13-docosaneoate), methyl Z,Z 13,16-docosadienoate, methyl Z,Z,Z,Z,Z,Z 4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoate and methyl nervonate (methyl Z 15-tetracosenoate) are evaluated at T = 298.15 and vapor pressures are evaluated over the temperature range T = 298.15-450 K by correlation gas chromatography. The results are generated by an interpolative process using literature values for the saturated fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from methyl decanoate to methyl tetracosanoate, exclusive of methyl nonadecanoate, heneicosanoate and tricosanoate, as standards. Relationships for calculating vapor pressures for all of the compounds studied from T = 298.15 to 450 K are provided.
