Petrochemical products based on petroleum naphthenic acids have special properties. Esters of naphthenic acids possess practically valuable organic compounds. The aim of this work is the development of effective methods for the preparation of aromatic esters based on naphthenic and individual fatty acids which is a very promising direction in the medicine practice. The synthesis of unsaturated racemic and chiral oxyethers was carried out on the basis of the interaction of chloromethylpropargyl (allyl) esters with carbonyl compounds with the participation of metallic zinc. Also, to study the biological activity, racemic and optically active esters were synthesized based on naphthenic acids and unsaturated racemic and chiral oxyesters. As test cultures used: gram-positive (Staphylo-coccus aureus-Staphylococcus aureus), gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa – Pseu-domonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli) bacteria, as well as yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida - Candida albicans. Analysis of the biological activity of the synthesized compounds showed that optically active bicyclo [2.2.1] hept-5-ene-2-methylol monoesters have higher antimicrobial and antifungal activity compared to their racemic analogs and drugs used in medicine.

Analysis methods developed specifically to determine the presence of ink and other optically active components in paper machine white waters or other process effluents are not available. It is generally more interest¬ing to quantify the effect of circulation water contaminants on end products. This study compares optical techniques to quantify the dirt in process water by two methods for test media preparation and measurement: direct process water filtration on a membrane foil and low-grammage sheet formation. The results show that ink content values obtained from various analyses cannot be directly compared because of fundamental issues involving test media preparation and the varied methodologies used to formulate the results, which may be based on different sets of assumptions. The use of brightness, luminosity, and reflectance and the role of scattering measurements as a part of ink content analysis are discussed, along with fine materials retention and measurement media selection. The study concludes with practical tips for case-dependent measurement methodology selection.

AbstractA successful observation and analysis of the Zeeman effect on the near 1.54 μm photoluminescence spectrum in Er-doped crystalline MBE-grown silicon are reported. A clearly resolved splitting of 5 major spectral components was observed in magnetic fields up to 5.5 T. Based on the analysis of the data the symmetry of the dominant optically active center was conclusively established as orthorhombic I (C2v), with g‼≈18.4 and g⊥≈0 in the ground state. The fact that g⊥≈0 explains why EPR detection of Er-related optically active centers in silicon may be difficult. Preferential generation of a single type of an optically active Er-related center in MBE growth confirmed in this study is essential for photonic applications of Si:Er.

Acetoin is an important four-carbon compound that has many applications in foods, chemical synthesis, cosmetics, cigarettes, soaps, and detergents. Its stereoisomer (S)-acetoin, a high-value chiral compound, can also be used to synthesize optically active drugs, which could enhance targeting properties and reduce side effects. Recently, considerable progress has been made in the development of biotechnological routes for (S)-acetoin production. In this review, various strategies for biological (S)- acetoin production are summarized, and their constraints and possible solutions are described. Furthermore, future prospects of biological production of (S)-acetoin are discussed.
