The use of formic acid as a solvent in ozonization investigations has been developed and its suitability demonstrated by experiments on organic compounds of known structure. This solvent shows a remarkable tendency to protect the aldehyde from oxidation to the carboxyl group. The stability of the aromatic nucleus to ozone is apparently somewhat greater in this solvent than in ethyl acetate.

ABSTRACT A convenient and mild procedure is described in this paper whereby free and conjugated oestrogens may be extracted from urine. The extracts containing approximately 90 per cent of the oestrogens are devoid of most of the extraneous material and may be reduced in volume to less than 1/15 of that of the urine. The procedure consists of the following steps: (1) a 10 per cent (v/v) solution of a high molecular weight secondary amine (Amberlite LA-2, Rohm and Haas) in ethyl acetate is washed with formic acid and water, (2) the oestrogens in urine (acidified to pH 2 or 3 with H2SO4) are extracted with the LA-2 solution, (3) the oestrogen fraction is back-extracted from the organic solution with dilute aqueous ammonia.

In this article, the feasibility of the CuxS modified carbon microdisc electrode was examined by exposure to four different volatile organic compounds (2-propanol, acetic acid, ethyl acetate and n-butylamine) directly in their vapour phase using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The performance of the modified microdisc was compared with the bare carbon microdisc (30 μm in diameter) which was involved in a narrow-gap cell. By using both methods high current increase was observed for 2-propanol with the modified electrode and its sensitivity was sufficiently higher than with the bare electrode. The modified electrode showed lower current signals in case of acetic acid and n-butylamine. The latter formed a condensation layer at the interelectrode gap. Neither the bare nor the modified electrode was sensitive to ethyl acetate.

Garlic is known to have antibacterial and antifungal activities. This research aims to formulate the gel materials extracted from the garlic and to investigate the antimicrobial activities to Staphylococcus epidermidis. The phytochemical screening showed that the gel materials of ethyl acetate consisted alkaloid, flavonoid, and saponin substances. The formulation of gel was synthesized with different variations of 1, 5, and 10%. In this research, the gel materials were analyzed to understand the stability, homogeneity, pH, viscosity and dispersive powers.  The results showed that good abilities of gel based on the taste, aroma and consistency, while the homogeneity property of each samples is influenced by the presence of gel concentration. The viscosity property of gels accounted for 3201.02-1664.04 Cps with 2.95-3.8 cm of dispersive powers. The ability of antimicrobial showed that higher concentration of 5% and 10% gels showed greater inhibitory zones of 18,10 and 22,08 mm compared to 1% of concentration

Abstract Recent investigations concerning the significance of porphyrins in erythrocytes indicate a need for a rapid quantitative assay, easily adaptable to routine clinical use. To fill this need, we have developed a simplified procedure for the measurement of porphyrins (essentially protoporphyrin) in whole blood. Blood is stirred with acetone—ethyl acetate and the porphyrins are extracted with formic acid—ether. The porphyrins are then extracted into HCl and measured spectrophotometrically at three wavelengths, a procedure that allows a corrected absorbance to be calculated, to minimize error caused by interfering substances. The assay requires little apparatus, is simple and dependable, and the results correlate well with those obtained by use of a more complex conventional procedure.

Films produced by plasma polymerization of ethyl ether and methyl or ethyl acetate show good adsorption characteristic for polar and non-polar organic compounds. These films when used in microchannels machined in a 3D-structure present some preconcentration of organic compounds. Therefore, the aim of this work is to investigate the physical-chemical preconcentration mechanisms on this structure. The test molecules used were n-hexane and 2-propanol. Quartz crystal microbalance and mass spectrometry were used to measure preconcentration. Two different procedures for reactant injection on the structure were used: a continuous flow during several minutes or a small amount injected on a single pulse and in a few seconds. The microchannels were also modified by the introduction of small ceramic particles for enhancement of the flow dispersion. It was possible to notice for all films a similar kinetic of retention. The main removal mechanism is adsorption. Although all films can provide the removal of the adsorbents molecules, the most important characteristic for the adsorption and/or retention is the surface condition. Thus, the retention of polar compound can be troubled if a non-polar compound was used previously. The most promising films for retention are ethyl ether and ethyl acetate when n-hexane and 2-propanol are used as test molecules. The results using n-hexane or 2-propanol point out the use of low-cost microchannels for preconcentration development.

The thermal decomposition of organic peroxides are widely used as coagulant for organic compounds, however, its thermal hazardous characteristics have already caused serious accidents in chemical industries, which limited its application in much more strict conditions. Organic peroxides of C18H10O11 and C18H18O7 are two new candidates fitted for industrial explosive. However, as we best known there is little reports available on the geometry structure in the past decades. In this work, by means of quantum chemistry calculation, the relation of safety with molecular structure of C18H10O11 and C18H18O7 are discussed. The molecules with more activity O and the activity part more dispersedly exhibit higher stable, and the configuration has good safety. All the energy of molecule b is higher than that of molecule a. The stability of different configurations are 6a>7a>8a>9a>5a>1a>4a>3a=2a and 1b>7b>5b>6b>4b>2b>3b>8b, respectively, suggesting the structures of 6a,3a,2a,1b,8b exhibit high safety.
