The relative amounts of reactants and products represented in a balanced chemical equation are often referred to as stoichiometric amounts. However, in reality, the reactants are not always present in the stoichiometric amounts indicated by the balanced equation.

Synthesis and Decomposition Reactions

38.1K
Synthesis and decomposition are two types of redox reactions. Synthesis means to make something, whereas decomposition means to break something. The reactions are accompanied by chemical and energy changes.

Dehydration Synthesis

149.3K
Overview
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.

Sugar molecules are covalently linked together by dehydration synthesis. During the reaction, the hydroxyl (-OH) group from...

Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

3.2K
The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the...

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells01:23

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells

2.1K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.
However, failure of such a system...

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

3.0K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Area of Science:

  • Green Chemistry
  • Organic Synthesis
  • Renewable Feedstocks

Background:

  • 4-Propylcatechol carbonate is a stable, renewable C1 reactant.
  • It is synthesized from wood-derived 4-propylcatechol and CO2-derived dimethyl carbonate.
  • Reactive distillation facilitates its efficient preparation.

  • To utilize 4-propylcatechol carbonate for a two-step carbamate synthesis.
  • To achieve synthesis under mild reaction conditions.
  • To demonstrate the recyclability of the byproduct.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step reaction sequence was employed.
  • Step 1: Reaction of 4-propylcatechol carbonate with alcohols (50-80°C) using a Lewis acid catalyst (Zn(OAc)2·2H2O).
  • Step 2: Reaction of intermediate alkyl 2-hydroxy-propylphenyl carbonates with amines at room temperature in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran.

Main Results:

  • The synthesis of carbamates was achieved under mild conditions.
  • The process yielded target carbamates and 4-propylcatechol as a byproduct.
  • The byproduct 4-propylcatechol can be recycled for reactant regeneration.
