Phenylacetaldehyde is an organic compound used in the synthesis of fragrances and polymers. [1] Phenylacetaldehyde is an aldehyde that consists of acetaldehyde bearing a phenyl substituent; the parent member of the phenylacetaldehyde class of compounds.
[3] [4] In both species, it is subsequently metabolized into 4-hydroxyphenylacetate by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) enzymes in humans and the phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (feaB) enzyme in E. coli. [3] [4] [5] The condensation of 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde and dopamine is a key step in the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids.
as the first step of the aerobic styrene degradation pathway. [1] The product 2-phenyloxirane is also known as styrene oxide and can be converted by a styrene oxide isomerase (SOI) to obtain phenylacetaldehyde, which can be transformed into the key-intermediate phenylacetic acid by a phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (PAD).
In enzymology, a phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.39) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. phenylacetaldehyde + NAD + + H 2 O phenylacetate + NADH + 2 H +. The 3 substrates of this enzyme are phenylacetaldehyde, NAD +, and H 2 O, whereas its 3 products are phenylacetate, NADH, and H +.
Semisynthesis is a means of preparing many medicines more cheaply than by total synthesis since fewer chemical steps are necessary. Semisynthesis of paclitaxel . Installation of the necessary side chain and acetyl group of paclitaxel by a short series of steps, starting from isolated 10-deacetylbaccatine III. [ 1 ]
The Dakin oxidation. The Dakin oxidation (or Dakin reaction) is an organic redox reaction in which an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) or ketone reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate.
The Erlenmeyer–Plöchl azlactone and amino acid synthesis, named after Friedrich Gustav Carl Emil Erlenmeyer who partly discovered the reaction, is a series of chemical reactions which transform an N-acyl glycine to various other amino acids via an oxazolone (also known as an azlactone). [1] [2] Azlactone chemistry: step 2 is a Perkin variation
Allyl phenyl ether is prepared by the reaction of sodium phenoxide with allyl bromide: [1]. C 6 H 5 ONa + BrCH 2 CH=CH 2 → C 6 H 5 OCH 2 CH=CH 2 + NaBr. The yield is almost quantitative when the reaction is conducted in homogeneous solution using dimethoxyethane.
