Five new diterpenes derivatives named as ornatin A, B, C, D and E, in addition to six known related diterpenes were isolated from the aerial parts of cultivated specimens of Plectranthus ornatus. The structures were elucidated using a combination of 1D/2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) and comparison with published NMR data of a...
One new alkaloid, 2α-10bα-dihydroxy-9-O-demethylhomolycorine, in addition to seven others known alkaloids, and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural, piscidic acid and eucomic acid, were isolated from the bulbs of Hippeastrum solandriflorum. The structures of all compounds were determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques: 1H NMR and 13C NMR, heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), hete...
The chemical composition of the essential oils, obtained by hidrodistillation, from leaves of two Vernonia species (V. remotiflora and V. brasiliana), was determined by GC-FID and GC-MS. Both essential oils were predominantly constituted by sesquiterpenes (92.0 - 93.4%). The main constituents of the oil from V. brasilana were (E)-caryophyllene (36.7%), germacrene D (35.5%), and α-humulene (11.7%), while (E)-car...
A despolimerização do poli (tereftalato de etileno) - PET pós-consumo, em solução aquosa 7,5 mol.L-1 de hidróxido de sódio foi testado a 100 °C e a 1 atm, com objetivo de obter o ácido tereftálico. O efeito de tensoativos e da concentração da solução sobre o rendimento da despolimerização foi estudado quantitativamente via gravimetria e analises térmica. Excesso de solução alcalina aumenta a velocidade de reaçã...
