And the article was included in Journal of Scientific & Industrial Research in 2020.Category: esters-buliding-blocks This article mentions the following:
The investigation was carried out to identify the various fatty acids present in the areal parts of Leptadenia reticulata, one of the important medicinal plants of India. Non-polar (Petroleum Ether) extract of areal parts was used for this study. Saponification was carried out using dried extract to obtain fatty acids. Further esterification of saponifiable fraction was performed to obtain fatty acid Me ester. Extracted fatty acid Me esters were analyzed by gas chromatog. and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique using NIST library. From GC-MS anal., 14 components were identified in areal parts of Leptadenia reticulata. This study reveals that L. reticulata is a good source of fatty acids with medicinal properties. This methodol. has the advantage of excellent identification of Non polar moiety of medicinal plant. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Dimethyl decanedioate (cas: 106-79-6Category: esters-buliding-blocks).
Dimethyl decanedioate (cas: 106-79-6) belongs to esters. Volatile esters with characteristic odours are used in synthetic flavours, perfumes, and cosmetics. Certain volatile esters are used as solvents for lacquers, paints, and varnishes. Many esters have the potential for conformational isomerism, but they tend to adopt an s-cis (or Z) conformation rather than the s-trans (or E) alternative, due to a combination of hyperconjugation and dipole minimization effects. The preference for the Z conformation is influenced by the nature of the substituents and solvent, if present. Lactones with small rings are restricted to the s-trans (i.e. E) conformation due to their cyclic structure.Category: esters-buliding-blocks
