In particular, this chapter will concentrate on the physical properties of the first polyhydroxyalkanoates to be commercially exploited, the Biopol resins, launched by ZENECA Bio Products, Billingham, UK. These materials are copolymers of 3-hydroxybutyric acid (3HB) and 3-hydroxy valeric acid (3H V) ... 

The key step of the synthesis of new 5-(polyfluoroalkyl)-6-hydroxy-a-amino acids 81 was the hydrogenation of 2/f-pyran-2-ones 71 to the telrahydropyrones 79, which were transformed into the corresponding benzoylamino acid esters 80 by methanolysis. In all cases mixtures of diastereomeric esters 80 were formed, careful treatment of which with 15 % HCl gave a mixture of the diastereomeric benzoylamino acids 81. The latter are of interest as analogues of 2-amino-5-hydroxy valeric acid and glutamic acid [35] (Scheme 25).

It is well known that certain kinds of bacteria, e.g., Azotobacter, Bacillus, Alcaligenes, and Zoogloea, accumulate high amounts of poly[(/ )-3-hydroxybutyrate] when they are cultured under limited nitrogen conditions. (/ )-p-Hydroxybutyric acid ester of high optical purity (100% e.e.) was obtained by alcoholysis of this biopolymer [9]. When propionic acid and glucose were used as the carbon sources, Alcaligenes eutrophus produced a copolymer of (/ )-p-hydroxybutyric acid and (/ )-P-hydroxyvaleric acid. (/ )-p-Hydroxy-valeric acid ester (100% e.e.) was obtained from this copolymer by a procedure similar to that described above [16] (Scheme 6).

Acetic acid has been found to react with toluene to form p-methylace-tophenone (Simons et al., 49), to react with benzene to form acetophenone, and to react with phenol to form p-hydroxy acetophenone. Acetyl chloride also formed acetophenone with benzene and acetic anhydride reacted with toluene to form both p-methylacetophenone and 2,4-diace-tyltoluene. Valeric acid reacted with toluene to form p-tolyl-n-butyl ketone. Both benzoic acid and benzoyl chloride reacted with toluene to form p-tolylphenyl ketone. Acenaphthene with either benzoic acid or benzoyl chloride gave 3-benzoylacenaphthene (Fieser and Hershberg,...

The carboxylic acids can be subdivided into nonvolatile fatty acids, volatile fatty acids, hydroxy acids, dicarboxylic acids, and aromatic acids (Fig. 3). The nonvolatile fatty acids are molecules with more than five carbon atoms, such as stearic and palmitic acids, which are the degradation products of fats and triglycerides. Three different 18-C fatty acids that are important constituents of plants include oleic and linoleic acids that are abundant in plant seeds, and linolenic acid, which is abundant in plant leaves. Volatile fatty acids are short-chain molecules with one to five carbon atoms, such as acetic and valeric acid, associated with anaerobic metabolism. The hydroxy-acids are common intermediates in biochemical pathways, including the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The excretion of hydroxyacids by algae, such as the...
