General description

Aspirin metabolite.

Application

2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA) can be used:
  • As a matrix in the MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis of the poly(styrene-co-pentafluorostyrene) copolymers.
  • To prepare pharmacologically important 2,5-DBHA-gelatin conjugate, which can act as a polymer for the development of drug formulations.
  • As a tridentate ligand to synthesize complexes of molybdenum by reacting with (PPh4)4Mo8O26.
  • As a starting material in the total synthesis of landomycin A, an angucycline antibiotic.

The influence of the sample preparation parameters (the choice of the matrix, matrix:analyte ratio, salt:analyte ratio) was investigated and optimal conditions were established for the MALDI time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis of the poly(styrene-co-pentafluorostyrene) copolymers. These were synthesized by atom transfer

Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is ubiquitous in the photosynthetic membranes of cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. It is synthesized by galactosylation of diacylglycerol (DAG) in the chloroplasts, whereas it is produced by epimerization of monoglucosyldiacylglycerol (GlcDG) in at least several cyanobacteria that have been
