N-Caprylic acid

Raney nickel desulfurization has been applied especially to the synthesis of different kinds of amino acids. a-Amino acids have been prepared by the Strecker synthesis of substituted thiophenealdehydes, followed by desulfurization of the thiophene a-amino acids. a-Amino-n-enantic acid, a-amino-n-caprylic acid, and norleucin have been obtained in about 50% yield from the appropriate thiophene aldehydes. From the desulfurization of thiophene -amino acids, obtained from the reaction of thiophenealdehydes with malonic acid in ammonia, aliphatic j8-amino acids, isolated as acetates, have been obtained in high yields. The desulfurization of 3-nitrothiophenes, such as (232), in ammonia leads to y-substituted amino acids (233). ...

The production of wound odor can represent a major problem for patients and their carers. Wounds most commonly associated with odor production include leg ulcers and fungating lesions of all types. The smeU from these wounds is caused by a cocktail of volatile agents that includes short-chain organic acids, such as n-butyric, n-valeric, n-caproic, and n-caprylic acids produced by anaerobic bacteria, together with a mixture of amines and diamines such as cadaverine and putrescine that are produced by the metabolic processes of other proteolytic bacteria.
