Aco (musician)

Aco (born February 3, 1977 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan) is a female Japanese singer. She made her debut in 1995 with the pop single "Fuan nano" (不安なの). She is a part of Sony Music Japan. She explores different musical styles, with the albums Absolute Ego and Material displaying Electronica influences. Absolute Ego was produced by ex-Denki Groove keyboardist, Yoshinori Sunahara and The Other Side of Absolute Ego album contains remixes by Tricky, DJ Krush, and Silent Poets.

In 2003, after a two-year hiatus, she enlisted the help of the avant-garde audio-visual performance group portable [k]ommunity for her quieter, more delicate album, Irony. Irony has been called "one of the most beautiful albums to come out of Japan in 2003" with the music compared to an "airy lullaby".

  • Acetoxy group

    Acetoxy group, abbreviated AcO or OAc, is a chemical functional group of the structure CH3-C(=O)-O-. It differs from the acetyl group CH3-C(=O)- by the presence of one additional oxygen atom. The name acetoxy is the short form of acetyl-oxy.

    Functionality

    An acetoxy group may be used as a protection for an alcohol functionality in a synthetic route although the protecting group itself is called an acetyl group.

    Alcohol protection

    There are several options of introducing an acetoxy functionality in a molecule from an alcohol (in effect protecting the alcohol by acetylation):

  • Acetyl Halide, such as Acetyl chloride in the presence of a base like triethylamine
  • Activated ester form of acetic acid, such as a N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, although this is not advisable due to higher costs and difficulties.
  • Acetic anhydride in the presence of base with a catalyst such as pyridine with a bit of DMAP added.
  • An alcohol is not a particularly strong nucleophile and, when present, more powerful nucleophiles like amines will react with the above-mentioned reagents in preference to the alcohol.

    by: Ling Kai

    There was a girl
    With no conviction
    Of how to live much less
    To die
    And so she dated all the boys
    Who would take her
    A taste of destruction
    And joy
    Oh such joy
    Prechorus:
    They drank wine and danced
    And pressed their bodies together
    Cos tomorrow is just
    Another tomorrow
    The candlelight
    Burns evil
    The candle light
    Burns hope
    Chorus:
    She says I never meant to
    Take it that far
    And took the keys out of the car
    Under the stars And they
    Were lost
    A long way from home
    And so she took another ride
    From another Beautiful stranger
    There was a boy
    who never listened
    on how to live much less to die
    and so he fell inside a dream of his making
    a taste of destruction and joy
    oh such joy
    Prechorus, Chorus etc
    Bridge
    Maybe she just needs an answer
    Maybe he just needs to be asked
    But love is a crowded sinking ship
    No one wants to get out of
    Chorus
