ABSTRACT
High-resolution 13C NMR spectroscopy has been used to analyze the positional distribution of fatty acids in model triacylglycerols. A novel method for quantitative determination of the positional distribution of unsaturated chains in triacylglycerols simultaneously with the ratio of saturated/unsaturated acyl chains has been proposed, utilizing the chemical shift differences of the aliphatic atoms C4, C5, and C6. The use of HSQC-TOCSY spectra allows unequivocal proof of the position of the unsaturated chain as well as complete assignment of the 13C NMR signals in tripalmitin.

New 6 beta-aryl(alkyl)sulfonamidopenicillanic acids and their sulfoxides were synthesized by sulfonylation of 6 beta-aminopenicilanic acid or its beta-sulfoxide with an appropriate sulfonyl chloride. The corresponding 6 beta-sulfonamidopenicillanic acids sulfones were prepared by oxidation of the sulfoxides with potassium permanganate in aqueous medium. The obtained compounds reduced the minimum inhibitory concentrations of ampicillin against 8 reference and 7 clinically isolated strains.
