  • Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils
    Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils V. I. Babushok,a) P. J. Linstrom, and I. G. Zenkevichb) National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA (Received 1 August 2011; accepted 27 September 2011; published online 29 November 2011) Gas chromatographic retention indices were evaluated for 505 frequently reported plant essential oil components using a large retention index database. Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

  • Application of Biomarker Compounds As Tracers for Sources and Fates of Natural and Anthropogenic Organic Matter in Tile Environment
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Daniel R. Oros for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Sciences presented on September 24. 1999. Title: Application of Biomarker Compoundsas Tracers for Sources and Fates of Natural and Anthropogenic Organic Matter in the Environment. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Bernd R.T. Simoneit Determination of the source and fate of natural (higher plant lipids, marine lipids, etc.) and anthropogenically (e.g., petroleum, coal emissions) derived hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds in the environment was accomplished using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC- MS) to characterize or identify molecular biomarkers to be utilized as tracers. The distributions and abundances of biomarkers such as straight chain homologous series (e.g., n-alkanes, n-alkanoic acids, n-alkan-2-ones, n-alkanols, etc.) and cyclic terpenoid compounds (e.g., sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids, steroids, triterpenoids) were identified in epicuticular waxes from conifers of western North America (natural emissions). These biomarkers and their thermal alteration derivativeswere also identified in smoke emissions from known vegetation sources (e.g., conifers, deciduous trees and grasses) and were then applied as tracers in soils, soils that contained wildfire residues and soillriver mud washout after wildfire burning. Where possible, the reaction pathways of transformation from the parentprecursor compounds to intermediate and final alteration products were determined from GC- MS data. In addition, molecular tracer analysis was applied to air, water and sediment samples collected from a lacustrine setting (Crater Lake, OR) in order to determine the identities, levels and fates of anthropogenic (i.e., petroleum hydrocarbon contamination from boating and related activities) hydrocarbons ina pristine organic matter sink.

  • 194 Recent Advances in the Synthesis of New Pyrazole Derivatives
    194 RECENT ADVANCES IN THE SYNTHESIS OF NEW PYRAZOLE DERIVATIVES DOI: http://dx.medra.org/ 10.17374/targets.2019.22.194 Juan - Carlos Castillo a,b , Jaime Portilla a * a Bioorganic Compounds Research Group, Department of Chemistry, Universi dad de los Andes, Carrera 1 No. 18A - 10, Bogotá, Colombia b Grupo de Cat álisis, E scuela de Ciencias Químicas, Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia UPTC, Av enida Central del Norte, Tunja, Colombia (e - mail : [email protected] ) Abstract. Pyrazoles have attracted great attention in organic and medicinal chemistry, due to their proven utility as synthetic intermediates for the preparation of diverse bioactive compounds, of coordination complexes, as well as in the design of functional materials. Consequently , the synthesis of functionalized pyrazoles is an important focus of research for synthetic organic chemists. Likewise, fuse d pyrazoles such as pyrazolo[1,5 - a]pyrimidines and pyrazolo[3,4 - b]pyridines have been widely studied due to their varied biological and physicochemical applications based on the important electronic properties of th ese N - heterocycles. Therefore, the preparation of these fused heterocycles and of their functionalized derivatives is of notable interest to both uncover novel derivatives and explore new applications. Several methods have been described in the literature for the synthesis of pyrazoles and of their fused systems in recent years , which mainly involve classi cal cyclocondensation reactions , some of these are presented in th is contribution.

McAvoy Senior District Judge January 3, 2017 United States Sentencing Commission One Columbus Circle, N.E. Suite 2-500 Washington, DC 2002-8002 Attention: Public Affairs To the Sentencing Commission: I write in reference to your recent request for public comment on sentencing issues involving MDMA/Ecstasy, synthetic cannabinoids (such as JWH-018 and AM-2201), and synthetic cathinones (such as Methylone, MDPV, and Mephedrone). I currently preside over a case involving methylone distribution. The Defendant retained an expert who produced a report concerning the appropriate marijuana equivalency for methylone. The government responded to that report. After considering those documents, I obtained the report of an independent expert chemist. That expert addressed the questions of substantial similarity as required by USSG '2D1.1. I would be happy to share those reports and the briefs and filings related to them with the Commission. Please contact my law clerk at the address below if you would like to have those documents forwarded to you. Sincerely, Case 1:14-cr-00232-TJM Document 53 Filed 05/24/16 Page 1 of 2 May 24, 2016 via ELECTRONIC FILING Senior Judge Thomas J.
