Gas-chromatographic determination of carboxylic acid anhydrides in oxidation products of alcohols and other organic compounds

A procedure was developed for the gas-chromatographic determination of carboxylic acid anhydrides in the composition of oxidation products of organic compounds after their conversion into alkyl formate by formic acid and benzyl alcohol or other primary alcohol introduced into the reaction medium. The reaction proceeds through the mixed anhydride, which is formed in situ from formic acid and the determined anhydride and is predominantly transformed into the corresponding alkyl formate in alcoholysis with alcohol. The potentialities of the procedure were illustrated by the determination of anhydrides in oxidation products of cyclohexane, cyclohexanone, and cyclohexanol.     

Antianexiety activity of pyridine derivatives synthesized from 2-chloro-6-hydrazino-isonicotinic acid hydrazide

A series of oxadiazole pyridine derivatives were synthesized by using 2-chloro-6-hydrazinoisonicotinic acid hydrazide as starting material. Treatment of the hydrazide with carbon disulfide to afford the oxadiazole derivative, which was treated with 5-methyl-2-furancarbaldehyde, formic acid, acetic acid/acetic anhydride, or phthalic anhydride to yield the corresponding pyridinodiazoles and on imide. Condensation of the hydrazide with p-fluorobenzaldehyde in ethanol or acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate afforded hydrazone and oxadiazole derivatives, which were acetylated and cyclized with acetic anhydride to N-acetyloxadiazole derivatives. The hydrazone was treated with acetic acid in the presence of sodium acetate, or bromine water/sodium acetate to give on oxadiazole, while it was cyclized with chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of TEA to oxoazetidinaminoisonicotinamide. Finally, condensation of the hydrazide with acid anhydrides in refluxing glacial acetic acid afforded the corresponding bisimide derivatives. The pharmacological screening showed that many of these obtained compounds have good antianexiety activity comparable to diazepam^® as positive control.

Steric effects in the uncatalyzed and DMAP-catalyzed acylation of alcohols-quantifying the window of opportunity in kinetic resolution experiments

The kinetics of the reaction of several alcohols (benzyl alcohol, ethanol, 1-phenylethanol, cyclohexanol, and 1-methyl-1-phenylethanol) with a selection of anhydrides (acetic anyhydride, propionic anhydride, isobutyric anhydride, isovaleric anhydride, and pivalic anhydride) as catalyzed by 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP)/triethyl amine have been studied in CH(2)Cl(2) at 20 degrees C. In all cases the reaction kinetics can be described by rate laws containing a DMAP-catalyzed term and an uncatalyzed (background) term. The rate constants for the background reaction respond sensitively to changes in the steric demand of the alcohol and the anhydride substrates, making the reaction of cyclohexanol with acetic anhydride 526 times faster than the reaction with pivalic anhydride. Steric effects are even larger for the catalyzed reaction and the reactivity difference between acetic and pivalic anhydride exceeds a factor of 8000 for the reaction of cyclohexanol. There is, however, no linear correlation between the steric effects on the catalyzed and the uncatalyzed part. As a consequence there are substrate combinations with dominating catalytic terms (such as the reaction of benzyl alcohol with isobutyric anhydride), while other substrate combinations (such as the reaction of cyclohexanol with pivalic anhydride) are characterized through a dominating background process. The implications of these findings for the kinetic resolution of alcohols are discussed.     

Synthesis of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-ones. Cyclization reaction of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid with acetic anhydride

Treatment of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid (X) with acetic anhydride under refluxing conditions afforded 10-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-one acetate (IX). The intermediate X was prepared from 4-chloro-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (V). The reaction of V with the sodium salt of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine at room temperature gave 4-(2-amino-3-pyridyloxy)-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (VI). Treatment of VI with a hot aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and subsequent acidification gave X. Involvement of 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecaroboxylic acid ethyl ester (VIII) (Smiles rearrangement product) as an intermediate in the above alkaline hydrolysis reaction of VI to X was demonstrated by the isolation of VIII and its subsequent conversion into X under alkaline hydrolysis conditions. Acetylation of VIII with acetic anhydride in pyridine solution gave 4-[(3-hydroxy-2-pyridyl)amino]-2-phenyl-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester acetate (XI), which afforded IX on fusion at 220°. This alternative synthesis of IX from XI supported the structural assignment of IX. Fusion of VI gave 10-hydroxy-2-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimido]4,5-d]pyrimidin-5-one (VII). The latter was also obtained when VIII was fused at 210°. Acetylation of VII with acetic anhydride afforded IX.     

Determination of acetic acid in aqueous samples, by water-phase derivatisation, solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography

The direct derivatisation of acetic acid with n-hexyl chloroformate and with benzyl bromide in water was evaluated. With n-hexyl chloroformate, acetic acid did not give the n-hexyl acetate derivative, but the reaction of acetic acid with benzyl bromide in aqueous solution resulted in the formation of benzyl acetate. The derivatisation of acetic acid with benzyl bromide and the headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) of benzyl acetate were optimised. Under optimum conditions, the limit of detection for acetic acid was 260 nM, and the relative standard deviation of the overall procedure at 1.10(-4) M acetic acid was 15.6% (n = 10). A linear response was obtained in the 1 x 10(-4) to 5 x 10(-6) M concentration range (R2 = 0.993, n = 6). Although Carbowax-divinylbenzene (CW-DVB)-coated fibres exhibited a higher extraction capacity for benzyl acetate, polyacrylate (PA) was selected, because its mechanical stability was better than that of CW-DVB fibres. Moreover, the relative standard deviation of the SPME was better with PA (1.5%, n = 10 at 1 x 10(-5) M) than with CW-DVB-coated fibres (8.0%, n = 10 at 1 x 10(-5) M). Thus, a new analytical method for the quantitative determination of micromolar concentrations of acetic acid in the aqueous phase was developed. This method is based on water-phase derivatisation with benzyl bromide, headspace SPME with PA fibres and GC-FID. It was observed experimentally that benzyl alcohol formed by hydrolysis of the reagent affected the fibre-gas phase partitioning of benzyl acetate.     

脱乙酰甲壳质溶液的粘度及其稳定性

本文研究了脱乙酰甲壳质(CTS)的甲酸、乙酸以及甲、乙酸的异丙醇、乙醇、丙酮溶剂体系的溶液粘度及稳定性,并从溶液的稠度指数K和流动行为指数n来考察其增稠能力和溶液性质。实验表明,含有异丙醇和乙醇溶液的粘度,比不含有机溶剂的溶液的粘度高,而含有丙酮的则较低。有机溶剂的加入,对溶液的稳定性没有明显的影响,CTS甲酸系统的溶液比乙酸系统的溶液具有较好的稳定性。分子量为5.6×10~5CTS的增稠能力不及部分水解聚丙烯酰胺,但优于卡拉胶。CTS溶液属假塑性流体,其K值随溶液存放时间延长而下降,但n值上升,并接近于1。实验发现,抗氧剂维生素C不仅不能增加CTS溶液的稳定性,且对CTS有明显的促进降解作用。

Gasometric determination of formic and oxalic acids

A method for the determination of formic and oxalic acids ( > 2.5 μmol) is based on the catalytic dehydration of formic and oxalic acids with acetic anhydride and measurement of the volume of liberated carbon monoxide. Formic acid (0.8–4.0 mg) can be determined in admixture with oxalic acid if the latter is first oxidized with permanganate in acidic medium. The error of a single determination of one acid does not exceed 3% (95% confidence).     

Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines. 1. Acylation of 2,4,5-trioxo-7-amino-8H-pyrido [2,3-d]pyrimidines

Reaction of 2,4,5-trioxo-7-aminopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines with acylating agents takes place both at the amino group and at the cyclic nitrogen atom. Reaction of these compounds with formic acid, chloroacetyl chloride in pyridine, cyanoacetic acid in the presence of acetic anhydride, and oxalyl chloride leads to monoacylation at the amino group but with methyl chloroformate it is the product of acylation at the cyclic nitrogen. Refluxing in acetic anhydride gave mono-, di-, and triacetyl derivatives. The structures of these compounds were proved using spectral data.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 811–814, June, 1990.     

Coulometric generation of acetylions by oxidation of mercury in acetic anhydride and in acetic acid/acetic anhydride mixture

Coulometric generation of acetyl (CH₃CO⁺) ions by oxidation of mercury in acetic anhydride and in acetic acid/acetic anhydride (5:95, v/v) is described. Current/potential curves for solvents, titrated bases, indicator and mercury showed that in both these solvents mercury is oxidized at potentials which are much more negative than those for the titrated bases and other components present in the solution. Quinoline, triethanolamine, triethylamine, pyridine and quinolin-8-ol in acetic anhydride, as well as triethylamine, 2,2′-bipyridine, 2,4,6-collidine, pyridine and sodium acetate in acetic acid/acetic anhydride were titrated with acetyl ions generated by the oxidation of mercury. In this way, it was established that the oxidation of mercury to mercury (I) ions proceeds quantitatively with 100% current efficiency.

Determination of tertiary amines and salts of organic acids in acetic acid by catalytic thermometric titration

A new method of determination of tertiary amines and salts of organic adds in acetic acid solution, to which about 2 % of water and 8% acetic anhydride are added, is described. After the equivalence point, the excess of perchloric acid catalyses the exothermic reaction of water with acetic anhydride. The end-point is determined from the graph of temperature against volume of added titrant. If a slightly soluble compound is produced during the titration, the precision of the new method is superior to that of the potentiometric method.     

Determination of thorium with organic reagents: different methods using p-aminosalicylic acid

p-Aminosalicylic acid (PAS) can be successfully utilized as a reagent for gravimetric and volumetric determination of thorium. A quantitative precipitate of thorium is obtained by adding a hot 2% solution of PAS, in the presence of a little ammonium acetate at a pH range between 4 and 5.6. The thorium salt filters, washes and ignites readily. Thorium content of the salt can be determined directly by ignition to thoria, and indirectly by the quantitative bromination of the organic ligand with bromide-bromate mixture or by iodination with iodine monochloride in glacial acetic acid solution at 0° C. The processes give comparable results.     

Coulometric generation of H+ ions by oxidation of thiols at a platinum anode and by oxidation of mercury in acetic acid—acetic anhydride

The coulometric generation of hydrogen ions by anodic oxidation of propane-1-thiol, butane-1-thiol, 2-mercaptopropionic acid, heptane-1-thiol, 2-mercaptoethanol, methyl and ethyl thioglycollate and p-thiocresol in acetic acid—acetic anhydride (1 + 6 v/v) is described, together with the possibility of coulometric generation of protons by mercury oxidation in the presence of p-thiocresol in the same solvent system.Current-potential curves for the solvent, indicator, titrated bases, mercury and the investigated thiols showed that in acetic acid—acetic anhydride (5 + 95, v/v), mercury and the investigated thiols are oxidized at potentials which are much more negative than those of the titrated bases and other components present in the solution.Titration of potassium hydrogenphthalate and sodium acetate with protons generated by the oxidation of thiols, and of sodium acetate, lithium acetate and pyridine with protons generated by the oxidation of mercury, demonstrated that the oxidation of both thiols and mercury proceeds quantitatively with 100% current efficiency.     

DILUTE SOLUTION BEHAVIOR OF CHITOSAN IN DIFFERENT ACID SOLVENTS

Dilute solution behavior of chitosan was studied in formic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid andhydrochloric acid aqueous solution under different pH values. The reduced viscosities, η_(sp)/C,ofchitosan solutions were dependent on the properties of acid and pH value of solvents. For a givenchitosan concentration, η~(sp)/C decreased with the increase of acid concentration, or decreasing pHof solvent, indicating shielding effect of excessive acid similar to adding salt into solution. Thestabilities of dilute chitosan solution in formic acid and lactic acid were better than that in acetic acid and hvdrochloric acid.     

Synthèse et étude physicochimique des 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]-pyridines et des 1,2,4-triazolo[2,3-a]pyridines

The synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a] and [2,3-a]pyridines 7, 8 was achieved by cyclization of 2-hydrazino-8-nitropyridine 3a with formic acid.
