Triglycerides
Triglycerides are triester molecules composed of a glycerol backbone that is bound to 3 fatty acids. These form the basis of many biological lipids that are found in vegetable oils and fats. Lipids that are isolated from plant material are the basis of vegetable oils, whereas lipids extracted from animals are used as lard or general sources of fats.
A fatty acid molecule has a long carbon chain — between 12 and 20 carbons — with a weak organic acid at one end. Some...

A modified Steglich esterification reaction was used to synthesize a small library of ester derivatives with primary and secondary alcohols. The methodology uses a non-halogenated and greener solvent, acetonitrile, and enables product isolation in high yields without the need for chromatographic...

A 2-azido-1-nitrate-ester can be converted to the corresponding 2-azido-1-trichloroacetimidate in a one-pot procedure. The goal of the manuscript is to demonstrate utility of the microwave reactor in carbohydrate...

The product of an organic solvent extraction, a total lipid extract (TLE), is often a complex mixture of hundreds, if not thousands, of different compounds. The researcher is often only interested in a handful of compounds or, if interested in many, may need to remove unwanted constituents that are"in the way" or co-eluting. For example, the concentrations of individual compounds in a sample are often determined on a gas...
