Solvent-free microextraction techniques in gas chromatography

Microextraction techniques represent a major part of modern sample preparation in the analysis of organic micropollutants. This article provides a short overview of recent developments in solvent-free microextraction techniques. From the first open-tubular trap techniques in the mid-1980s to recent packed-needle devices, different implementations of in-needle packings for microextraction are discussed with their characteristic benefits, shortcomings and possible sampling modes. Special emphasis is placed on methods providing full automation and solvent exclusion. In this context, in-tube extraction and the needle trap are discussed, with an overview of current research on new sorbent materials, together with the requirements for more efficient method development.     

A review on the green synthesis of hierarchically porous zeolite

Conventional bottom-up and top-down methods for synthesizing hierarchical zeolite have led to complicated economic and environmental issues due to the requirement of expensive and hazardous organic molecules, the large amount of acid/base solution, high energy, and expensive starting materials. Besides, the bottom-up method through the hydrothermal crystallization evokes safety issues due to the high autogenous pressure. Accordingly, considerable efforts have been made to develop green route synthesis of hierarchical zeolite by eliminating the use of a solvent (solvent-free), utilizing sustainable starting materials and green secondary template (mesoporogen), as well as eliminating the use of mesoporogen (mesoporogen-free). Other routes, including recycling of mother liquor, steam-assisted conversion, gel-like-solid phase method, and silanization, are also elaborated, as they are reported to promote a green and facile approach for the synthesis of hierarchical zeolites. In this review, we provide recent progress on the development of the green synthesis of hierarchically porous zeolite.     

Multisample preparation methods for the solvent-free MALDI-MS analysis of synthetic polymers

A limitation of any current approach using solvent-free MALDI mass spectrometry is that only one sample at a time can be prepared and transferred to the MALDI-plate. For this reason, multiple-sample preparation approaches for solvent-free MALDI MS analysis of synthetic polymers were developed that are simple and practical. One approach multiplexed sample preparation by simultaneously preparing multiple samples. With this approach, as many as 384 samples could be prepared by addition of analyte, matrix, salt, and 1-mm metal beads to each well of a 384-well disposable bacti plate, capping the plate with the lid and homogenizing all samples simultaneously using a common laboratory vortex device. Besides the time savings achieved by a single vortex step for multiple samples, an additional advantage of this method relative to previously reported solvent-free preparation methods is that the mixing volume per sample is reduced, which allows a reduction in the amount of analyte required. This method, however, still requires the transfer of each homogenized sample to the MALDI plate for subsequent analysis. Here we report a novel approach that combines multiple simultaneous solvent-free sample preparation with automatic sample transfer to the MALDI target plate. This approach reduces the possibility of cross-contamination, the amount of sample and matrix consumed for an analysis, and the time required for preparation of multiple samples. These methods were shown to provide high-quality mass spectra for various synthetic polymer standards with M(n) values to 10 kDa. The methods are efficient in that small sample amounts are required, the sample/salt/matrix ratio is not critical, and the time necessary to achieve sufficient homogenization of multiple samples is less than 5 min.

Abstract

An efficient and convenient method for the preparation of 3-benzylquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivatives under solvent-free and catalyst-free conditions by the reaction of isatoic anhydride, benzylamine, and aromatic aldehydes was reported. In reported papers, ammonia water, ammonium salt, and aromatic amine were often used to synthesize quinazolin-4(1H)-one derivative, but benzylamine was seldom used in this synthesis. This article offers a green method for the synthesis of 3-benzylquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivative used benzylamine as starting material. This methodology has the advantages of short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, easy work-up, and environmental friendliness.

Sustainable Route for Synthesizing Aluminosilicate EU-1 Zeolite

Developing sustainable routes for the synthesis of zeolites is still a vital and challenging task in zeolite scientific community. One of the typical examples is sustainable synthesis of aluminosilicate EU-1 zeolite, which is not very efficient and environmental-unfriendly under hydrothermal condition due to the use of a large amount of water as solvent. Herein, we report a sustainable synthesis route for aluminosilicate EU-1 zeolite without the use of solvent for the first time. The physicochemical properties of the obtained EU-1 zeolite are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), N₂ sorption, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, and solid nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which show the product has high crystallinity, uniform morphology, large BET surface area, and four-coordinated aluminum species. Moreover, the impact of synthesis conditions is investigated in detail. The sustainable synthesis of aluminosilicate EU-1 zeolite under solvent-free

A new solid acid/superacid catalyzed microwave assisted synthesis of trifluoromethyl-imines is described. Various α,α,α-trifluoromethylketones react readily with primary amines to produce the corresponding imines. Two different strategies have been employed; one is the application of microwave irradiation coupled with solvent-free solid acid catalysis. The other method, for highly deactivated substrates includes the use of a pressure vessel at 175 °C temperature, with solid superacid catalysis. Using the solid acid K-10 montmorillonite or the superacidic perfluorinated resinsulfonic acid Nafion-H, a wide variety of trifluoromethylated imines have been synthesized using the above methods. The products have been isolated in good to excellent yields and high selectivities. This new environmentally friendly synthetic methodology provides significantly higher yields than traditional methods during relatively short reaction times for the preparation of the target compounds.

Library‐directed Solution‐ and Solid‐phase Synthesis of 2,4‐Disubstituted Pyridines: One‐pot Approach through 6 π‐Azaelectrocyclization

An efficient one‐pot synthetic procedure for the synthesis of 2,4‐disubstituted pyridines has been successfully established.
