Methyl, abbreviation

Salts composed of an anion, RO—, and a cation, usually a metal, can be named by citing first the cation and then the RO anion (with its ending changed to -yl oxide), e.g., sodium benzyl oxide for CgH5CH20Na. However, when the radical has an abbreviated name, such as methoxy, the ending -oxy is changed to -oxide. For example, CHjONa is named sodium methoxide (not sodium methylate). 

The indicators methyl orange and phenolphthalein are indicated by the abbreviations MO and pH, respectively. 

Ketone body synthesis occurs only in the mitochondrial matrix. The reactions responsible for the formation of ketone bodies are shown in Figure 24.28. The first reaction—the condensation of two molecules of acetyl-CoA to form acetoacetyl-CoA—is catalyzed by thiolase, which is also known as acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase or acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase. This is the same enzyme that carries out the thiolase reaction in /3-oxidation, but here it runs in reverse. The second reaction adds another molecule of acetyl-CoA to give (i-hydroxy-(i-methyl-glutaryl-CoA, commonly abbreviated HMG-CoA. These two mitochondrial matrix reactions are analogous to the first two steps in cholesterol biosynthesis, a cytosolic process, as we shall see in Chapter 25. HMG-CoA is converted to acetoacetate and acetyl-CoA by the action of HMG-CoA lyase in a mixed aldol-Claisen ester cleavage reaction. This reaction is mechanistically similar to the reverse of the citrate synthase reaction in the TCA cycle. A membrane-bound enzyme, /3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, then can reduce acetoacetate to /3-hydroxybutyrate.

Trace Amines. Figure 1 The main routes of trace amine metabolism. The trace amines (3-phenylethylamine (PEA), p-tyramine (TYR), octopamine (OCT) and tryptamine (TRP), highlighted by white shading, are each generated from their respective precursor amino acids by decarboxylation. They are rapidly metabolized by monoamine oxidase (MAO) to the pharmacologically inactive carboxylic acids. To a limited extent trace amines are also A/-methylated to the corresponding secondary amines which are believed to be pharmacologically active.

Fig. 11. Active sites and reactions of the bifunctional CODH/ACS. For synthesis of acetyl-CoA, two electrons are transferred from external electron donors to Cluster B of the CODH subunit. Electrons are relayed to Cluster C which reduces CO2 to CO. The CO is proposed to be channeled to Cluster A of the ACS subunit to form a metal-CO adduct that combines with the methyl group of the CFeSP and CoA to form acetyl-CoA. For utilization of acetyl-CoA, these reactions are reversed. The abbreviations are CODH, CO dehydrogenase ACS, acetyl-CoA synthase CFeSP, the corrinoid iron-sulfur protein CoA, Coenzyme A.

A disadvantage of the THP group is the fact that a new stereogenic center is produced at C(2) of the tetrahydropyran ring. This presents no difficulties if the alcohol is achiral, since a racemic mixture results. However, if the alcohol is chiral, the reaction gives a mixture of diastereomers, which may complicate purification and/or characterization. One way of avoiding this problem is to use methyl 2-propenyl ether in place of dihydropyran (abbreviated MOP, for methoxypropyl). No new chiral center... 

The Prelog-Djerassi lactone (abbreviated here as P-D lactone) was originally isolated as a degradation product during structural investigations of antibiotics. Its open-chain equivalent 3 is typical of the methyl-branched carbon chains that occur frequently in macrolide and polyether antibiotics. The compound serves as a test case for the development of methods of control of stereochemistry in such polymethylated structures. There have been more than 20 different syntheses of P-D lactone.24 We focus here on some of those that provide enantiomerically pure product, as they illustrate several of the methods for enantioselective synthesis.25...
