Various glycosyl ferulates were efficiently synthesized from 2,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (TAGB) with amine by amine-promoted glycosylation without using heavy metal. The resulted acetylated glycosyl ferulates with acetoxyl groups at C-2, C-3 and C-4 were regioselectively deacetylated at C-4 and C-6 positions
It has long been recognized that garlic and petiveria, two plants of the Allium genus--which also includes onions, leeks and shallots--possess great medicinal value. In recent times, the biological activities of extracts of these plants have been ascribed to the
Pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA)-containing plants are widespread in the world and are probably the most common poisonous plants affecting livestock, wildlife, and human. PAs require metabolic activation to generate pyrrolic metabolites (dehydro-PAs) that bind cellular protein and DNA, leading to hepatotoxicity

Acyl arbutin was synthesized through the condensation of arbutin with a saturated fatty acid (C6-18) by the immobilized lipase in a batch reaction. The conversion at 10 and 20 g/l-solvent of immobilized lipase reached 45% over 2 d, but the

gamma-Tocopherol was reacted with (E)-4-oxo-2-nonenal (ONE) at 37 degrees C in an acidic acetonitrile solution. The reaction products were isolated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and their structures were characterized to be 5-substituted gamma-tocopherols: 5-(1-(furan-2-yl)pentyl)-gamma-tocopherol (1), 3-(1-butyl-4,5,7-trimethyl-7-(4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl)-8,9-dihydro-7H-furo[3,2-f]chromen-2yl)propanal (2), and 1-(1-butyl-4,5,7-trimethyl-7-(4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl)-8,9-dihydro-7H-furo[3,2-f]chromen-2-yl)-4-(furan-2-yl)octan-3-one
