Sulfation of birch wood xylan in 1,4-dioxane by sulfamic acid in the presence of urea at 90 and 100 °C was studied for the first time. The effect of the duration of xylan sulfation on the yield of xylan sulfates and the sulfur content in them was studied. It was found that the sulfur content in the obtained xylan sulfates increases from 12.5 to 17.5 wt% with an increase in the duration of sulfation from 2 to 4 hours. The structure of initial and sulfated xylan was studied by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. The ease of purification of the obtained xylan sulfates from 1,4-dioxane in comparison with the purification of xylan sulfates obtained by sulfation in pyridine and N, N‑dimethylformamide is an advantage of the proposed method of xylan sulfation

The effect of temperature and duration of sulfation of birch wood xylan by sulfamic acid in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) medium in the presence of urea on the yield of sulfated xylan and on the sulphur content was studied. By mathematical optimization, the sulfation conditions have been established allowing to achieve a high yield of the obtained xylan sulfates with a high sulphur content. Under optimal sulfation conditions: temperature 100±3 °C, duration 1.5 hours, the yield of sulfated xylan reaches to 63% mas. and the content of sulfur – 17.6% mas. The presence of sulfate groups in sulfated xylan samples obtained under optimal conditions was confirmed by elemental analysis and FTIR and 13C NMR spectroscopy.

During the preparative synthesis of 2-fluorocordycepin from 2-fluoroadenosine and 3′-deoxyinosine catalyzed by E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase, a slowdown of the reaction and decrease of yield down to 5% were encountered. An unknown nucleoside was found in the reaction mixture and its structure was established. This nucleoside is formed from the admixture of 2′,3′-anhydroinosine, a byproduct in the preparation of 3-′deoxyinosine. Moreover, 2′,3′-anhydroinosine forms during radical dehalogenation of 9-(2′,5′-di-O-acetyl-3′-bromo- -3′-deoxyxylofuranosyl)hypoxanthine, a precursor of 3′-deoxyinosine in chemical synthesis. The products of 2′,3′-anhydroinosine hydrolysis inhibit the formation of 1-phospho-3-deoxyribose during the synthesis of 2-fluorocordycepin. The progress of 2′,3′-anhydroinosine hydrolysis was investigated. The reactions were performed in D2O instead of H2O; this allowed accumulating intermediate substances in sufficient quantities. Two intermediates were isolated and their structures were confirmed by mass and NMR spectroscopy. A mechanism of 2′,3′-anhydroinosine hydrolysis in D2O is fully determined for the first time.

For the first time, the fractionation of birch wood into microcrystalline cellulose, xylose and methoxyphenols is suggested based on the integration of alkali-acid pretreatments and hydrogenation in ethanol over a bifunctional Ru/C catalyst. It is established that removal of hemicelluloses during pretreatments of birch wood influences the yields of the liquid, gaseous and solid products of the non-catalytic and catalytic hydrogenation of pretreated samples in ethanol at 225 °C. The bifunctional Ru/carbon catalyst affects in different ways the conversion and yields of products of hydrogenation of the initial and acid- and alkali-pretreated birch wood. The most noticeable influence is characteristic of the hydrogenation of the acid-pretreated wood, where in contrast to the non-catalytic hydrogenation, the wood conversion and the yields of liquid products increase but the yields of the solid and gaseous products decrease. GC-MS, gel permeation chromatography and elemental analysis were used for characterization of the liquid product composition. The molecular mass distribution of the liquid products of hydrogenation of the initial and pretreated wood shifts towards the low-molecular range in the presence of the catalyst. From the GC-MS data, the contents of monomer compounds, predominantly 4-propylsyringol and 4-propanolsyringol, increase in the presence of the ruthenium catalyst. The solid products of catalytic hydrogenation of the pretreated wood contain up to 95 wt% of cellulose with the structure, similar to that of microcrystalline cellulose.

The reaction of 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2-phenylchroman-4-one with dibromoalkanes in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate proceeds according to the Michael’s retro-reaction O-alkylation and leads to the formation of the corresponding 2-(bromo-alkoxy) chalcones. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by IR-, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The cytotoxic, hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of chalcone derivatives (2-3) were studied for the first time in vitro and in vivo.

Products of the thermolysis of NH4Al-alum were prepared under dried air and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetry, and for the first time by solid-state 27Al-MAS-NMR spectroscopy. It was found, that high resolution NMR spectroscopy is applicable to follow up the thermal decomposition and to indicate even minor structural changes. 27Al-MAS-NMR spectra show peaks with characteristic chemical shifts for octahedral Al-units up to a high stage of thermolysis. During the decomposition of Al2(SO4)3 to γ-Al2O3 we again observed three-peak spectra with the specific signal at ≈ 35 ppm for penta-coordinated Al ions as recently proved for the thermolysis of AlCl3 · 6 H2O.

Abstract: A one-pot conversion of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic aldehyde to hydroxamic acid was described. An efficient photoorganocatalytic method of synthesis was developed. The obtained hydroxamic acid was identified by various physicochemical methods such as IR, UV- and NMR-spectroscopy. Solid colored complexes of copper (II) and iron (II), respectively, green and brown colours with the obtained hydroxamic acid were synthesized in ethanol medium for the first time. The molar ratio of ligand and metal in the complex was 2:1. Their structures were established using IR, UV- spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis.

The dichloromethane (DCM) extract of the fruits of Peucedanum schottii Besser ex DC. (Apiaceae) was subjected to high-performance counter-current chromatography (HPCCC) for the efficient and fast separation (30 min) and isolation of cimifugin using an ethyl acetate: water (1:1 v/v, K = 1.01) system. The analytical scale-optimized separation was easily scaled to semi-preparative conditions. Cimifugin (11.25% yield, 96.5% purity) was isolated for the first time from P. schottii and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Cimifugin and the crude DCM extract were evaluated using ELISA microtiter assays for their inhibitory potential against the cholinesterases (acetylcholinesterase - AChE and butyrylcholinesterase - BChE), and tyrosinase (TYR), which are key enzymes for the treatment of some neurodegenerative diseases, i.e. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The crude extract exhibited a weak inhibitory activity against AChE, BChE, and TYR (4.2, 35.5, and 0% at 100 μg mL−1 and 10.3, 40.0, and 12.2% at 200 μg mL−1, respectively), while cimifugin displayed low to moderate inhibition towards AChE and BChE (3.1 and 21.6%, respectively) at 200 μg mL−1.

Two isomers, (Z)- and (E)-palmityl 4-hydroxycinnamate [hexadecyl(2Z)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoate and hexadecyl(2E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoate] were isolated for the first time from ligulate flowers of Taraxacum linearisquameum Soest (sect. Taraxacum). The highest amount of these compounds was detected in pollen grains; 0.26 mg/100 mg DW of the (E)-isomer and 0.096 mg/100 mg DW of the (Z)-isomer. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by a combination of HPLC-ESI-Qtof-MS and ID and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Their presence was confirmed in other species of Taraxacum, but they were not found in the male-sterile triploid agamospermous taxon T. parnassicum.
