Agarwood is the resinous wood produced in some Aquilaria species and is highly valued for wide usages in medicine, incense, and perfume. To protect the threatened Aquilaria species, the cultivation of Aquilaria sinensis and artificial agarwood induction techniques have been effectively established in China. To evaluate the quality of agarwood induced by different techniques, patterns of chemical constituents in artificial agarwood by four methods (wounding using an axe, burning-chisel-drilling, chemical inducer, and biological inoculation) were analyzed and compared by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS and GC-EI-MS in this study. Results of GC-MS gave a panorama of chemical constituents in agarwood, including aromatic compounds, steroids, fatty acids, sesquiterpenoids, and 2-(2-phenlyethyl)-chromones (PECs). Sesquiterpenoids were dominant in agarwood induced by wounding using an axe. PEC comprised over 60% of components in agarwood produced by biological inoculation and chemical inducers. PECs were identified by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS in all artificial agarwood and the relative contents varied in different groups. Tetrahydro-2-(2-phenylethyl)-chromones (THPECs) in wounding by axes induced agarwood were lower while 2-(2-phenylethyl)-chromones (FPECs) were higher than other groups. The results showed that methods used for inducing agarwood formation in Aquilaria sinensis affect the chemical constituents of agarwood.

Abstract Lichens, Lipids, Phenols The three lichen species Alectoria ochroleuca, Stereocaulon vesuvianum var. pulvinatum and Icmadophila ericetorum have been chemically investigated with regard to their content of aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Tetrahydroxy fatty acids were isolated in all three species. A mono-acetylated pentol, higher fatty acids and an unsaturated triglyceride were detected as new con­ stituents of A. ochroleuca and I. ericetorum. S. vesuvianum and I. ericetorum both contained phenolic components which not previously have been discussed in literature. Chemical and spectro­ scopic evidences are presented in these studies.

1. Methane mono-oxygenase of Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) catalyses the oxidation of various substituted methane derivatives including methanol. 2. It is a very non-specific oxygenase and, in some of its catalytic properties, apparently resembles the analogous enzyme from Methylomonas methanica but differs from those found in Methylosinus trichosporium and Methylomonas albus. 3. CO is oxidized to CO2. 4. C1-C8 n-alkanes are hydroxylated, yielding mixtures of the corresponding 1- and 2-alcohols; no 3- or 4-alcohols are formed. 5. Terminal alkenes yield the corresponding 1,2-epoxides. cis- or trans-but-2-ene are each oxidized to a mixture of 2,3-epoxybutane and but-2-en-1-ol with retention of the cis or trans configuration in both products; 2-butanone is also formed from cis-but-2-ene only. 6. Dimethyl ether is oxidized. Diethyl ether undergoes sub-terminal oxidation, yielding ethanol and ethanal in equimolar amounts. 7. Methane mono-oxygenase also hydroxylates cyclic alkanes and aromatic compounds. However, styrene yields only styrene epoxide and pyridine yields only pyridine N-oxide. 8. Of those compounds tested, only NADPH can replace NADH as electron donor.

Two samples taken from tropical volcanic surface soils and one sample from a Canadian Podzol subsurface soil were oxidized with H2O2 under conditions usually employed for the removal of organic matter from soils prior to mineralogical analyses. Between 65 and 82% of the C but only between 23 and 36% of the N in the initial organic matter in the three soils was oxidized to volatile and water-soluble products. Among the latter, small amounts of about 40 different aliphatic and aromatic compounds were identified, most of which were phenolic. Extraction with organic solvents removed n-alkanes and n-fatty acids from H2O2-resistant organic matter, but most of the latter consisted of humic substances strongly bonded to or absorbed on inorganic soil constituents. H2O2-resistant fractions accounted in the case of two soils, initially rich in organic matter, for 12.0 and 7.5% of the air-dry weights of peroxidized soils. The presence of such substantial amounts of H2O2-resistant organic matter may interfere with the dispersion and mineralogical analysis of peroxidized soils, especially those with high initial organic matter contents.

Distillation and GC-MS were employed to analysis the coal tar of low-temperature pyrolysis of lignite briquette by contrasting with standards: the fraction below 340°C in the tar distillates of brown coal tar accounted for 83.30% and the other greater than 340°C is pitch accounted for 16.32%. 34.00% of coal tar are hydrocarbons which are mainly consisted of fat aliphatic hydrocarbon and include few alkene and cycloparaffins. The content of phenolic compounds in coal tar, mainly comes from the fraction below 210°C, is 11.68%. 16.86% of coal tar is aromatic compounds which are mainly composed of substitutive derivative of polyalkylbenzene distributing in all kinds of fractions; and a small amount of aromatic compounds which is concentrated in the fraction below 300°C. The content of oxygen-containing, nitrogen-containing and heterocyclic compounds is 4.47%, 0.57%, 2.11%, respectively.

Laser excited Shpol'skii spectrometry (LESS) was utilized to directly determine nitrogen (N-), oxygen (O-), and sulfur (S-) heterocyclic compounds in solvent refined coal (SRC-II), petroleum crude oil, and carbon black. Characteristic quasilinear LESS excitation and emission spectra of the heterocyclic compounds are presented for the first time under site-selective conditions. Deuterated analogs of dibenzothiophene and dibenzofuran were utilized for quantitation. Site-selective fluorescence spectra of aminopyrene derivatives of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC) are also presented for the first time. The potential for utilizing the LESS technique in critical environment and biological studies for the direct determination of N-, O-, and S-heterocyclic compounds and substitutional derivatives of parent PAC has been demonstrated.
