Consequently, pentanoic acid (valeric acid) has a higher boiling point than methyl butanoate. Here are the actual data: INSTRUCTOR SUPPLEMENTAL SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS • CHAPTER 21 2 21.7 (a) The carbonyl absorption of the ester occurs at higher frequency, and only the carboxylic acid has the characteristic strong, broad O—H stretching absorption in 2400–3600 cm–1 region. (d) In N-methylpropanamide, the N-methyl group is a doublet at about d 3. N-Ethylacetamide has no doublet resonances. In N-methylpropanamide, the a-protons are a quartet near d 2.5. In N-ethylacetamide, the a- protons are a singlet at d 2. The NMR spectrum of N-methylpropanamide has no singlets. 21.9 (a) The first ester is more basic because its conjugate acid is stabilized not only by resonance interaction with the ester oxygen, but also by resonance interaction with the double bond; that is, the conjugate acid of the first ester has one more important resonance structure than the conjugate acid of the second.

It has been subjected to the Agency's peer and administrative review, and has been approved for publication. Mention of trade names of commercial products does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. ii ABSTRACT SPARC (SPARC Performs Automated Reasoning in Chemistry) chemical reactivity models were extended to calculate hydrolysis rate constants for carboxylic acid ester and phosphate ester compounds in aqueous non- aqueous and systems strictly from molecular structure. The energy differences between the initial state and the transition state for a molecule of interest are factored into internal and external mechanistic perturbation components. The internal perturbations quantify the interactions of the appended perturber (P) with the reaction center (C). These internal perturbations are factored into SPARC’s mechanistic components of electrostatic and resonance effects. External perturbations quantify the solute-solvent interactions (solvation energy) and are factored into H-bonding, field stabilization and steric effects. These models have been tested using 1471 reliable measured base, acid and general base-catalyzed carboxylic acid ester hydrolysis rate constants in water and in mixed solvent systems at different temperatures.

  • Comprehensive Characterization of Toxicity of Fermentative Metabolites on Microbial Growth Brandon Wilbanks1 and Cong T
    Wilbanks and Trinh Biotechnol Biofuels (2017) 10:262 DOI 10.1186/s13068-017-0952-4 Biotechnology for Biofuels RESEARCH Open Access Comprehensive characterization of toxicity of fermentative metabolites on microbial growth Brandon Wilbanks1 and Cong T. Trinh1,2* Abstract Background: Volatile carboxylic acids, alcohols, and esters are natural fermentative products, typically derived from anaerobic digestion. These metabolites have important functional roles to regulate cellular metabolisms and broad use as food supplements, favors and fragrances, solvents, and fuels. Comprehensive characterization of toxic efects of these metabolites on microbial growth under similar conditions is very limited. Results: We characterized a comprehensive list of thirty-two short-chain carboxylic acids, alcohols, and esters on microbial growth of Escherichia coli MG1655 under anaerobic conditions. We analyzed toxic efects of these metabo- lites on E. coli health, quantifed by growth rate and cell mass, as a function of metabolite types, concentrations, and physiochemical properties including carbon number, chemical functional group, chain branching feature, energy density, total surface area, and hydrophobicity. Strain characterization revealed that these metabolites exert distinct toxic efects on E. coli health. We found that higher concentrations and/or carbon numbers of metabolites cause more severe growth inhibition. For the same carbon numbers and metabolite concentrations, we discovered that branched chain metabolites are less toxic than the linear chain ones. Remarkably, shorter alkyl esters (e.g., ethyl butyrate) appear less toxic than longer alkyl esters (e.g., butyl acetate). Regardless of metabolites, hydrophobicity of a metabolite, gov- erned by its physiochemical properties, strongly correlates with the metabolite’s toxic efect on E. coli health.

  • Comprehensive Mapping of Volatile Organic Compounds in Fruits
    International PhD Program in Biomolecular Sciences XXVII Cycle Comprehensive Mapping of Volatile Organic Compounds in Fruits Tutor Dr. Fulvio Mattivi Department of Food Quality and Nutrition, Fondazione Edmund Mach Advisor Prof. Vladimir Shulaev Department of Biological Sciences, University of North Texas Ph.D. Thesis of Manoj Shahaji Ghaste Department of Food Quality and Nutrition Fondazione Edmund Mach 2013-2014 This thesis is lovingly dedicated to my Mother. Her support, encouragement, belief and constant love have sustained me throughout my life. Declaration I, Manoj Shahaji Ghaste confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Thesis abstract Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the key aroma producers in fruits and sensory quality of fruits is widely determined by qualitative and quantitative composition of VOCs. The aroma of grape is a complex of hundreds of VOCs belonging to different chemical classes like alcohols, esters, acids, terpenes, aldehydes, furanones, pyrazines, isoprenoids and many more. VOCs play important role as they determine the flavor of grapes and wine made from it. The objective of this thesis is to study of VOCs through development of different mass spectrometry based analytical methodologies and its applications for the comprehensive investigation and construction of database of the VOCs in grapes. First part of the study was dedicated to generation of a database of grape VOCs through the screening of multiple grape varieties (n=124) representing different species, color and origin. The experiment was carried out using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) based approach and according to metabolomics protocols.
