Application

Acetic acid can be used as a catalyst:
  • For the solvent-free one-pot condensation of indoles with aryl or heteroaryl aldehydes to synthesize di(indolyl)methanes.
  • In the Pictet-Spengler reaction of substituted tryptamines with cyclic ketones to synthesize tetrahydrospiro-Ͱ-carbolines.
  • To synthesize trisubstituted thiazoles via domino multicomponent reaction.

It can also be used as a:
  • solvent to synthesize aryl amine-functionalized 1,3,5-triazine derivatives via aryl amination of cyanuric chloride with aromatic amines.

In healthy individuals, postexercise protein supplementation increases muscle protein anabolism. In patients with muscular dystrophies, aerobic exercise improves muscle function, but the effect of exercise on muscle protein balance is unknown. Therefore, we investigated 1) muscle protein balance before, during
