Application


  • The synthesis and characterisation of MDMA derived from a catalytic oxidation of material isolated from black pepper reveals potential route specific impurities.: This study explores the synthesis and characterization of MDMA from piperonal, highlighting potential impurities unique to this synthesis route. This research has implications for forensic science and the identification of synthetic routes for MDMA (Plummer et al., 2016).

  • Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of platensimycin analogues with varying degrees of molecular complexity.: This paper details the synthesis of platensimycin analogues using piperonal derivatives. The study evaluates the biological activities of these analogues, contributing to the development of new antibacterial agents (Nicolaou et al., 2008).

  • Synthesis and use of 4-peptidylhydrazido-N-hexyl-1,8-naphthalimides as fluorogenic histochemical substrates for dipeptidyl peptidase IV and tripeptidyl peptidase I.: This research presents the synthesis of piperonal-based substrates for histochemical applications, enabling the study of enzyme activities in biochemical assays (Ivanov et al., 2009).
