Quantitation and Sensory Studies of Character Impact Odorants of Different White Wine Varieties

Azobenzenes are ubiquitous motifs very important in many areas of science. Azo compounds display crucial properties for important applications, mainly for the chemical industry. Because of their discovery, the main application of aromatic azo compounds has been their use as dyes. These compounds are excellent candidates to function as molecular switches because of their efficient cis–transisomerization in the presence of appropriate radiation. The classical methods for the synthesis of azo compounds are the azo coupling reaction (coupling of diazonium salts with activated aromatic compounds), the Mills reaction (reaction between aromatic nitroso derivatives and anilines) and the Wallach reaction (transformation of azoxybenzenes into 4-hydroxy substituted azoderivatives in acid media). More recently, other preparative methods have been reported. This critical review covers the various synthetic methods reported on azo compounds with special emphasis on the more recent ones and their mechanistic aspects (170 references).

Synthesis of azobenzenes: the coloured pieces of molecular materials

The rational design, the synthesis via a new convergent approach, and the characterization of four generations of monodendrons based on the AB3 building block methyl 3,4,5-trishydroxybenzoate are described. The first generation monodendrons are crystalline. The second generation methyl 3,4,5-tris-3‘,4‘,5‘-[tris(n-dodecyloxy)benzyloxy]benzoate (12Gn-AG-CH3, n = 2), the corresponding benzyl alcohol (12G2-AG-CH2OH) and benzoic acid (12G2-AG), and all higher generation monodendrons with n = 3 and 4 exhibit in addition to the crystal phase an isomorphous cubic liquid-crystalline (LC) phase of Pm3n space group. The cubic unit cell parameters of 12G2-AG, 12G3-AG, and 12G4-AG are 68.3, 79.2, and 84.0 A, respectively. Computed electron density profiles demonstrated that in the cubic phase 12, 6, and 2 monodendrons of generation 2, 3 and 4 are self-assembled in supramolecular dendrimers resembling spherical micelles when they are centered at the corners and the body-center and respectively highly rounded tetrahedr...
