Gallic acid design

Nitrosodialkylanilines react with gallic acid or gallamide under the influence of heat to form well defined compounds designated as oxa-zines. The gallic acid is obtained exclusively from natural tannins. 

WHISTLER A firework designed to whistle by virtue of an explosive composition containing gallic acid or similar.

Based on the catalyst design limitation arising from their synthesis, other chiral quaternary ammonium salts were developed, such as Ca-symmetrical PTC catalysts XXVIII [53], spermidine- and spermine-based catalysts XXIX [54], bis-biphenyl quaternary ammonium salts XXX [55], and other chiral quaternary ammonium salts of types XXXI and XXXII [56]. V-spiro chiral ammonium salt XXXI and XXXII (the later, readily available from gallic acid) possessing flexible alkyl chains showed high catalytic efficiency in alkylations of glycine-imine esters even in the presence of 0.01-0.05 mol% of XXXI or XXXII (Scheme 8.6) [57].
