When allylic compounds are treated with Pd(0) catalyst in the absence of any nucleophile, 1,4-elimination is a sole reaction path, as shown by 492, and conjugated dienes are formed as a mixture of E and Z isomers[329]. From terminal allylic compounds, terminal conjugated dienes are formed. The reaction has been applied to the syntheses of a pheromone, 12-acetoxy-1,3-dode-cadiene (493)[330], ambergris fragrance[331], and aklavinone[332]. Selective elimination of the acetate of the cyanohydrin 494 derived from 2-nonenal is a key reaction for the formation of the 1,3-diene unit in pellitorine (495)[333], Facile aromatization occurs by bis-elimination of the l,4-diacetoxy-2-cyclohex-ene 496[334],... 

Keto esters are obtained by the carbonylation of alkadienes via insertion of the aikene into an acylpalladium intermediate. The five-membered ring keto ester 22 is formed from l,5-hexadiene[24]. Carbonylation of 1,5-COD in alcohols affords the mono- and diesters 23 and 24[25], On the other hand, bicy-clo[3.3.1]-2-nonen-9-one (25) is formed in 40% yield in THF[26], 1,5-Diphenyl-3-oxopentane (26) and 1,5-diphenylpent-l-en-3-one (27) are obtained by the carbonylation of styrene. A cationic Pd-diphosphine complex is used as the catalyst[27]. 

The identification and quantification of potentially cytotoxic carbonyl compounds (e.g. aldehydes such as pentanal, hexanal, traw-2-octenal and 4-hydroxy-/mAW-2-nonenal, and ketones such as propan- and hexan-2-ones) also serves as a useful marker of the oxidative deterioration of PUFAs in isolated biological samples and chemical model systems. One method developed utilizes HPLC coupled with spectrophotometric detection and involves precolumn derivatization of peroxidized PUFA-derived aldehydes and alternative carbonyl compounds with 2,4-DNPH followed by separation of the resulting chromophoric 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones on a reversed-phase column and spectrophotometric detection at a wavelength of378 nm. This method has a relatively high level of sensitivity, and has been successfully applied to the analysis of such products in rat hepatocytes and rat liver microsomal suspensions stimulated with carbon tetrachloride or ADP-iron complexes (Poli etui., 1985). 

Selley et al. (1992) have recently employed gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometric detection to determine levels of the cytotoxic monounsaturated aldehyde 4-hydroxy-/7 t-2-nonenal in the blood plasma of healthy human subjects, and patients with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. Intriguingly, this lipid peroxidation end-product is present at a concentration ofc. lx 10 mol/dm in healthy and osteoarthritic human plasma samples (but significantly elevated in those collected from rheumatoid arthritis patients). Although at least some of this could originate from the oxidative degradation of PUFAs invm, there may be a relationship existing between these levels and the frequency of thermally/...

Dick et al. [88] studied the antioxidant effects of NADPH-dependent alkenal/one oxidor-eductase (AO), also known as leukotriene B4 12-hydroxydehydrogenase, 15-oxoprostaglan-din 13-reductase, and dithiolethione-inducible gene-1. It was found that AO catalyzed the hydrogenation of many a,(3-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones and protected against cytotoxic action of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. 

The importance of superoxide-mediated damage to cancer cells was also demonstrated in the experiments with overexpressed mitochondrial MnSOD. Hirose et al. [186] showed that the overexpression of mitochondrial MnSOD enhanced the survival of human melanoma cells exposed to cytokines IL-1 and TNF-a, anticancer antibiotics doxorubicin and mitomycin C, and y-irradiation. Similarly, Motoori et al. [187] found that overexpression of MnSOD reduced the levels of reactive oxygen species in mitochondria, the intracellular production of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, and prevented radiation-induced cell death in human hepatocellular... 

Initially the substance at Rt 19.95 was identified as 2-nonen-l-ol based on mass spectrum library search. The comparison with a commercial 2-nonen-l-ol standard indeed revealed a high degree of similarity between the mass spectra, but a distinct deviation regarding the retention time suggesting a similar molecule with a chain length greater than 2-nonen-l-ol. The substance Rt 20.95 was tentatively identified as 6,10-dimethyl-5,9-undecadien-2-one which corresponds with the authentic standard regarding mass spectra and retention time.

The larval aggregation pheromone of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera Olethreutidae), was shown to be a blend of (E)-2-octenal, (E )-2-nonenal, sulcatone and geranyl acetone in combination with either 3-carene and/or three saturated aldehydes (octanal, nonanal, decanal). 

Chemicals. The carbonyl compound standards 2-methylpropanal, 2-methylbutanal, 3-methylbutanal, pentanal, hexanal, furfural, methional, phenylacetaldehyde, and (E)-2-nonenal were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Milwaukee, Wl). A stock solution containing a mixture of the standard compounds in ethanol was prepared daily in a concentration of 100 ppb each. An aqueous solution of the derivatization agent 0-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)-hydroxylamine (PFBOA) (Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI) was prepared at a concentration of 6 g/L. PFBOA solution was prepared every 3 months and kept refrigerated. 

Calibration. Most aldehydes, except formaldehyde, form two geometrical isomers of the derivatives and appear as two peaks in the chromatogram. The sum of these two peak areas was used in the calibration measurements. A six-point calibration curve for nine carbonyl compounds was measured. The calibration range was 0.1-50 ppb, except for (E)-2-nonenal, where the calibration range was 0.01-5 ppb. The matrix used for calibration solutions was 5% ethanol solution, pH 4.5. Correlation coefficient (Rh values indicate that this method can be used for analysis of aldehydes in a wide range of concentrations (Table 1). 

Method Validation. Reproducibility of the method was determined by analyzing one beer sample 10 times. Table 1 shows that the method provides very good reproducibility, with coefficients of variations for monitored aldehydes below 5.5%, except for (E)-2-nonenal. The higher coefficient of variation for (E)-2-nonenal may be due to extremely low levels of this aldehyde in the analyzed beer. 

Interpretation The higher coefficient of variation for (E)-2-nonenal may be due to extremely low levels of this aldehyde in the analyzed beer. 

That the spiked ethanol solution was exposed for different lengths of time at 50 °C (presumably) conveys a truth or fact that will not change thus, the statement is descriptive. However, the higher coefficient of variation for ( )-2-nonenal may not necessarily be due to the low levels of aldehydes in the analyzed beer hence,...
