    Notes: Abstract  The changes in the flavor profiles of several white wines undergoing oxidation were monitored through gas chromatography–olfactometry (GCO). The study showed that up to 19 odorants were generated during wine oxidation, and that several of the odorants originally present in the wine disappeared or decreased. An aroma extract dilution analysis revealed that 5 of these 19 odorants have maximum dilution factors, and that a second group of 7 may have some sensory significance as well. The isolation and identification of the different odorants was achieved via normal and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution GCO. The impact odorants of oxidized wine were found to be 2, 4, 5-trimethyldioxolane, methional (methylthiopropanal), sotolon (4,5-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone), eugenol (4-propenyl-2-methoxyphenol) and an unknown compound with mass spectrum similar to methylvanillate. Other odorants also formed during wine oxidation were 1-octen-3-ol, t-2-nonenal, furfural, benzaldehyde, 2-butoxyethanol, acetovanillone and a dioxolane isomer.

    Notes: Abstract  Romanian amber (rumanite) has been considered to be a separate species of fossil resin for more than a century. While earlier investigators held it to be very similar to succinite (Baltic amber), modern scholars have assigned it a distinctly different botanical origin. We have found that almost all of the constituents of the ether-soluble fractions of 13 specimens of authentic rumanite identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry have previously been reported in the soluble fraction of succinite, including succinic acid and its monoterpene esters. Additionally and significantly, the soluble fraction of rumanite contains a number defunctionalized compounds that do not preexist in succinite, but that are produced by pyrolysis of whole succinite or of its insoluble polymeric fraction. Simultaneous methylation pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry of the polymeric fraction of seven of the rumanite specimens yielded further copious amounts of dimethyl succinate, a number of diterpene resin acid methyl esters, and additional defunctionalized compounds known to be pyrolysis products of succinite. The evidence shows conclusively that the botanical origin of rumanite is not distinct from that of succinite. Rather, rumanite is a succinite that has suffered partial thermal degradation in the course of the folding of the Oligocene Kliwa sandstone formation in which it is most commonly found.

    Notes: Abstract Recent research implicated that the relaxation of cavernous arterial and trabecular smooth muscle – the crucial event in penile erection – is initiated by the release of nitric oxide (NO) from nerve terminals within the cavernous tissue as well as from the endothelia that line the lacunar spaces and the intima of penile arteries. The present study was undertaken to determine whether plasma levels of the NO metabolites nitrate (NO− 3) and nitrite (NO− 2) in the systemic and cavernous blood of male subjects change during different penile conditions, and whether there is a difference in the NO− 3 and NO− 2 levels of normal males and patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). Twenty-four potent adult male volunteers and 15 patients with ED were exposed to visual and tactile erotic stimuli in order to elicit penile tumescence and, in the group of healthy volunteers, rigidity. Whole blood was aspirated from the corpus cavernosum and the cubital vein, and NO− 3 and NO− 2 levels were determined in plasma aliquots by means of the Griess reaction and a method combining gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The mean systemic and cavernous plasma NO3 −/NO2 − level in blood samples obtained from the healthy volunteers was 25–31 μM when determined by means of the Griess reaction and 37–41 μM when measured by GC-MS. Both approaches revealed that NO3 −/NO2 − levels in the peripheral and cavernous blood do not change appreciably during developing erection, rigidity and detumescence. Moreover, no significant differences were found between NO3 −/NO2 − plasma levels in the systemic and cavernous blood samples taken from the normal subjects and patients during penile flaccidity, tumescence and detumescence. Our results may reflect the fact that NO metabolism in the corpora cavernosa in the phases of penile tumescence and rigidity may account for only a minor fraction of local levels of NO3 − and NO2 −, which may also derive from exogenous sources. Moreover, the basal levels of NO metabolites in the blood flushing the lacunar spaces of the cavernous body in the state of developing erection could conceal any release of NO that may occur within the penile tissue. Thus, we conclude that the quantification of NO metabolites by means of advanced detection methods, such as GC-MS, is of no use in the workup of ED.

    Notes: The problem of the calculation and interpretation of the net retention volume with a real gas as carrier is revisited. The properties of the carrier are described by a first order virial equation of state. The net retention volume of a solute is related to the mean flow rate of the carrier, therefore determination of the mean flow rate of a real gas carrier is reviewed. It is shown that the mean flow rate cannot be calculated from the mean column pressure. With a real gas carrier the local capacity factor depends on the local pressure of the real gas. The basic relationship between the net retention volume and the function describing this pressure dependence is also reviewed. Precise formulae as well as practical approximations are presented for the calculation of the mean flow rate, of the mean column pressure, and of a representative pressure related to the mean capacity factor.

    Notes: ---A symmetric diketopiperazine scaffold 2 has been prepared in a very simple two-step procedure from L-aspartic acid dimethyl ester. This product (a tetracarboxylic acid equally protected at the two symmetric positions) has been employed as a template for the synthesis of mixed amide libraries in the solution phase using the SPSAF (simultaneous addition of functionalities) strategy. By judicious choice of the amines employed, it is possible to prepare parallel libraries containing hundreds of products using just a small number of different amines. We have also developed a simple method for monitoring the required conversion of the acid into amides based on an assay of the amount of iBuOH (determined by GC) formed during the coupling mediated by isobutyl chloroformate. We have observed that a conversion higher than 90% (iBuOH by GC) guarantees correct formation of the desired amides. This indirect method for assessing the conversion in a combinatorial reaction employing mixed reactants (SPSAF) can conveniently be used for the routine determination of libraries prepared in the solution phase. In a broader perspective, the present results contribute as a further step in the development of new and simple systems for monitoring the progress and evolution of combinatorial reactions
