aliphatic acids

Approximately one third of women produce aliphatic acids.

The aliphatic acids contribute greatly to the flavor of honey by interacting with the flavors of other ingredients.

A class of aliphatic acids was found in female rhesus monkeys that produced six types in the vaginal fluids.

They are attracted to odors that contain esters, alcohols, aldehydes, and aliphatic acids (Gibson 2001).

The main components of rice bran wax are aliphatic acids (wax acids) and higher alcohol esters.

Some 'Silphidae' beetles secrete a chemical from a rectal gland that consists of aliphatic acids and terpene alcohols.

Aliphatic acids are the acids of nonaromatic hydrocarbons, such as acetic, propionic, and butyric acids.

Plasticine, a brand of modelling clay, is a putty-like modelling material made from calcium salts, petroleum jelly and aliphatic acids.

The anal sacs act as fermentation chambers in which aerobic and anaerobic bacteria convert sebum into odorous compounds, including aliphatic acids.

Fatty acids are aliphatic acids fundamental to energy production and storage, cellular structure and as intermediates in the biosynthesis of hormones and other biologically important molecules.

The focus of the experiments on human pheromones has been on three classes of putative pheromones: axillary steroids, vaginal aliphatic acids, and stimulators of the vomeronasal organ.

Although the exact composition is a secret, Plasticine is composed of calcium salts (principally calcium carbonate), petroleum jelly, and long-chain aliphatic acids (principally stearic acid).

In aliphatic acids, the electron-releasing inductive effect of the methyl group increases the electron density on oxygen and thus hinders the breaking of the O-H bond, which consequently reduces the ionization.

Omura H, Honda K, Feeny P. From terpenoids to aliphatic acids: further evidence for late-instar switch in osmeterial defense as a characteristic trait of swallowtail butterflies in the tribe papilionini.

The aliphatic acids were once known as formic, acetic, propionic, butyric, pentanoic, hexanoic etc, but today they are more systematically named after the hydrocarbon with the same number of carbon atoms -ie methanoic, ethanoic, propanoic, butanoic etc.

The in situ formation of the symmetric aliphatic anhydride is proposed to explain the regioselectivity observed in the reactions of aliphatic acids, based on the fact that aliphatic carboxylates are more nucleophilic, and aliphatic anhydrides are more eletrophilic towards DMAP and alcohol than their counterparts.
