Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleConformational Analysis of Trans-3, 6-Dibutanal-1, 2, 4, 5-TetroxaneEduardo A. Castro, Mariela I. Profeta, Jorge M. Romero et al.We report the results of theoretical semiempirical AM1 and PM3 molecular orbital methods on the conformational analysis of the title compound. The relative stability of different isomers and conformers are discussed on the basis of well defined electronic and steric effects, which are rather helpful in order to understand the relative stabilities. …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis of Sodium Salt of 3,6-Dibutanoic-1,2,4,5-TetroxaneEduardo A. Castro, Soledad Bustillo, Jorge M. Romero et al.We report the experimental preparation of the sodium salt of 3,6-dibutanoic-1,2,4,5- tetroxane by addition of saturate solution of sodium hydroxide to the 3,6-dibutanoic-1,2,4,5-tetroxane, synthesized following the method modified by Jorge et al. The UV and IR spectra were studied from the experimental standpoint. A rather complete vibrational assignment was performed and the nature of the electronic transitions was discussed in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,638 accessesView PDFCite
