The Brazilian Chemical Industry

The Brazilian chemical industry reached sales of US$ 158 billions in 2011. Such figure places Brazil in the seventh position in the world ranking of chemical product manufacturers.
The chemical industry is known worldwide for its strong added value, capillarity and positive multiplier effect on the economy, contributing to the development of the country.

The Violacein Biosynthesis Monitored by Multi-Wavelength Fluorescence Spectroscopy and by the PARAFAC Method

Clecio Dantas; Pedro L. O. Volpe; Nelson Durán; Márcia M. C. Ferreira

How to cite this article

A culture of Chromobacterium violaceum was cultivated in a bioreactor from which aliquots were collected every two hours and analyzed by multi-wavelength fluorescence spectroscopy. The mechanistic investigation of the violacein biosynthesis was then performed by the chemometric method parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) that was applied to resolve the fluorescence profiles. Details are discussed in the Article The Violacein Biosynthesis Monitored by Multi‑Wavelength Fluorescence Spectroscopy and by the PARAFAC Method by Clecio Dantas, Pedro L. O. Volpe, Nelson Durán and Márcia M. C. Ferreira on page 2054.

Iron(III) Chloride Catalyzed Glycosylation of Peracylated Sugars with Allyl/Alkynyl Alcohols

Senthil Narayanaperumal; Rodrigo César da Silva; Julia L. Monteiro; Arlene G. Corrêa; Márcio W. Paixão

How to cite this article

 

The cost-effective ferric chloride showed to be an efficient catalyst for the glycosylation of sugars with allyl and alkynyl alcohols, thus leading to the corresponding glycosides in moderate to good yields. Salient features of this simple method include non-hazardous reaction conditions, low-catalyst loading, good yields and high anomeric selectivity
