Fatty acids, one class of essential nutrients for humans, are an important source of energy and an essential component of cell membranes. Most fatty acids in plants and animals have an even carbon number and no branching. One or more double bonds may occur, mostly in cis configuration. More than 40 different fatty acids are commonly encountered in foods.
N-Substituted pantothenamides (such as N-pentyl pan- tothenamide shown above) act as antimetabolites by forming coenzyme A analogues which do not contain the essential terminal thiol group of natural CoA. These analogues subsequently transfer inactive prosthetic groups to the acyl carrier proteins that are involved in fatty acid metabolism, thereby blocking these processes.
Dipyrone, also known as metamizole, is a pain reliever (analgesic) and fever reducer (antipyretic) that is used to treat moderate to severe pain and fever. It is available in various forms like oral tablets, suppositories, and injections. While widely used in many countries, it has been banned or restricted in some, including the United States, due to concerns about potentially serious side effects like agranulocytosis (a severe reduction in white blood cells).
Metabolites of dipyrone (1).
Concentrations of 5 (A) and 6 (B) in the brain of wild-type mice (FAAH+/+) and of FAAH knockout mice (FAAHÀ/À) after administration of dipyrone or water for five days (n = 3 mice/group, mean SEM).
Carboxylic acids, C2–3 is a low-molecular-weight carboxylic acids containing two to three carbon atoms, primarily including acetic acid (C2) and propionic acid (C3).
Carbazole was directly coupled with excess 1,4-dibromobutane under strong alkaline conditions to give 9-(4-bromobutane)carbazole (1). 4-(p-bromophenyl)-6-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridine was synthesized by the Kröhnke method. A strong palladium-catalyzed Buchwald method and an efficient Pd(OAc)2/DPEphos catalyst/ligand system were used to promote the condensation of aniline with 4-(p-bromophenyl)-6-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridine. The resulting intermediate (2) was then reacted with 9-(4-bromobutane)carbazole (1) to give the ligand HL (3). The ligand HL (3) and K2PtCl4 were refluxed in glacial acetic acid for 24 h to synthesize the cyclometalated Pt(II) chloride 4 with a yield of more than 80%.
The reactions of substrates 1r and 1s with acetic acid.

Diisopropylcarbodiimide has been used in industry as a stabilizing agent, coupling agent, and condensing agent. The potential for exposure exists during the synthesis of polypeptides and other chemicals in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as during protein synthesis in the recombinant DNA industry.
