Received: 4 September 2019; Accepted: 24 September 2019; Published: 26 September 2019 Abstract: Chemical analyses of Fusarium avenaceum grown on banana medium resulted in eight novel spiroleptosphols, T1, T2 and U–Z (1–8). The structures were elucidated by a combination of high-resolution mass spectrometric data and 1- and 2-D NMR experiments. The relative stereochemistry was assigned by 1H coupling and NOESY/ROESY experiments. Absolute stereochemistry established for 7 by vibrational circular dichroism was found analogous to that of the putative polyketide spiroleptosphol from Leptosphaeria doliolum. Keywords: spiroleptosphol; secondary metabolites; polyketides; polyketide synthases; PKS; Fusarium avenaceum 1. Introduction Filamentous fungi of the genus Fusarium are notorious plant pathogens, causing serious losses of grain every year world-wide. In addition, the fungi produce several harmful compounds during plant infection, which can cause illnesses in both humans and animals. Some of these natural products belong to the group of polyketides (PKs), which are biosynthesized by enzymatic machinery based on the polyketide synthases (PKSs). More than 65 different genes encoding PKSs have so far been identified across the Fusarium genus, of which F. avenaceum is one of the strains with most PKS genes but only a few products are known [1,2]. PKs are a structurally diverse group of compounds named after their biosynthetic origin, where they are assembled from small malonyl and acetyl subunits. Examples of beneficial and harmful PKs from Fusarium are fusarielins, aurofusarin and gibepyrons, which have been shown to have an estrogenic effect on cancer cells, inhibiting probiotic bacteria and nematocidal activity, respectively [3–7]. The secondary metabolome from fungi seldom includes all PKs that potentially could be produced, hence different approaches are needed for activation of responsible gene clusters. One way to trigger gene activation is utilizing different media compositions termed the OSMAC (one strain many compounds) approach [8,9]. A considerable difference between secondary metabolite profiles in fusaria has been demonstrated previously by altering the yeast extract from different suppliers in the growth media or by growth on unusual media [10,11].

Örebro Studies in Chemistry 19. Although gas and liquid chromatography have emerged as dominant separation techniques in environmental analytical chemistry, these methods do not allow for the concurrent analysis of chemically diverse groups of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). There are also a small number of compounds which are not easily amenable to either of these traditional separation techniques. The main objective of this thesis was to address these issues by demonstrating the applicability of packed col- umn supercritical fluid chromatography (pSFC) coupled to mass spec- trometry (MS) in various aspects of environmental chemistry. First, pSFC/MS analytical methods were developed for legacy POPs (PCDDs, PCDFs, and PCBs) as well as the emerging environmental con- taminant Dechlorane Plus (DP), and issues relating to the ionization of target analytes when pSFC was coupled to MS were explored. Novel APPI and APCI reagents (fluorobenzene and triethylamine) were opti- mized and real samples (water and soil) were analyzed to demonstrate environmental applicability. The possibility of chiral and preparative scale pSFC separations was then demonstrated through the isolation and characterization of ther- mally labile hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) stereoisomers. The analytical pSFC separation of the α-, β-, and γ-HBCDD enantiomers as well as the δ and ε meso forms was shown to be superior to results ob- tained using a published LC method.

SVILEN BOBEV* AND KIMBERLY T. TAIT Manuel Lujan Jr. Neutron Scattering Center, LANSCE 12 MS H805, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Kinetic studies are reported of the effect of methanol on the rate of formation of CO2- and CH4-hy- drates by means of in situ time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction. The experiments were carried out at temperatures ranging from 200 to 250 K and pressures up to 7 MPa. The samples were prepared from mixtures of ground, deuterated ice and deuterated methanol (up to 20 vol%), which were transformed in situ into CO2- or CH4-hydrates by pressurizing the systems with the corresponding gas. The observed rates of formation of hydrates are orders of magnitude higher than the rate of formation from pure deuterated ice under the same pressure and temperature conditions. Glycols and alcohols, methanol in particular, are long known as thermodynamic inhibitors of hydrate formation. Our study indicates that methanol can also act as a kinetic promoter for the formation of gas hydrates. Preliminary data suggest that the kinetics also depend strongly on concentration and the isotopic composition.

Catorci passed away on 27 June 2020 while this manuscript was in the latest steps of preparation. Abstract: Several classes of flavonoids, such as anthocyanins, flavonols, flavanols, and flavones, undergo a slow H/D exchange on aromatic ring A, leading to full deuteration at positions C(6) and C(8). Within the flavanol class, H-C(6) and H-C(8) of catechin and epicatechin are slowly exchanged in D2O to the corresponding deuterated analogues. Even quercetin, a relevant flavonol representative, shows the same behaviour in a D2O/DMSOd6 1:1 solution. Detailed kinetic measurements of these H/D exchange processes are here reported by exploiting the time-dependent changes of their peak areas in the 1H-NMR spectra taken at different temperatures. A unifying reaction mechanism is also proposed based on our detailed kinetic observations, even taking into account pH and solvent effects. Molecular modelling and QM calculations were also carried out to shed more light on several molecular details of the proposed mechanism.

The deuter- ation of methanol is a major puzzle, however, because the isotopologue ratio [CH2DOH]/[CH3OD], which is predicted to be equal to 3 by standard grain chemistry models, is much larger ( 20) in low-mass hot corinos and significantly lower ( 1) in high-mass hot cores. This dichotomy in methanol deuteration between∼ low-mass and massive protostars is currently not understood.∼ In this study, we report a simplified rate equation model of the deuterium chemistry occurring in the icy mantles of interstellar grains. We apply this model to the chemistry of hot corinos and hot cores, with IRAS 16293-2422 and the Orion KL Compact Ridge as prototypes, respectively. The chemistry is based on a statistical initial deuteration at low temperature followed by a warm-up phase during which thermal hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchanges occur between water and methanol. The exchange kinetics is incorporated using lab- oratory data. The [CH2DOH]/[CH3OD] ratio is found to scale inversely with the D/H ratio of water, owing to the H/D exchange equilibrium between the hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups of methanol and water.

Hydrogen abstraction from water (or an alcohol) is the most favour- able route. Background In the first part of this series,[1] we showed that trialkylboranes very briefly that when Bu3SnH was omitted, the reduction still and especially commercial solutions of Et3B are efficient redu- occurred. The O-cyclododecyl S-methylxanthate derived from cing agents that permit the conversion, at room temperature, of cyclododecanol afforded cyclododecane in a remarkable 62% S-alkylxanthates, iodides and O-alkylxanthates into the corres- yield. No hypothesis about the origin of the hydrogen atom that ponding alkanes with good to excellent yields.
