An Efficient Synthesis of Stable Phosphorus Ylides Derived from Triphenylphosphine,Dialkyl Acetylenedicarboxylates,and an NH-Acid

Stable crystalline phosphorus ylides were obtained in excellent yields from the 1:1:1 addition reaction between triphenylphosphine and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of strong NH-acids, such as benzotriazole, 5-methylbenzotriazole, 5-chlorobenzotriazole, pyrrole, 2-acetylpyrrole, pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde, 4-nitro-acetanilide, 4-methoxyacetanilide, 4-bromoacetanilide, 4-methylacetanilide, 2-methyl-acetanilide, and 2,6-dimethylacetanilide. These stable ylides exist in a solution as a mixture of two geometrical isomers as a result of the restricted rotation around the carbon–carbon partial double bond resulting from the conjugation of the ylide moiety with the adjacent carbonyl group.     

A mini review on synthesis,properties and applications of deep eutectic solvents

Organic solvents have been of great importance for many chemical synthesis, storage and separation processes. The industries and research laboratories are heavily dependent on organic solvents in bulk; are highly volatile, lipophilic, toxic and causes a number of issues to the human health and the environmental fitness. Neoteric solvents have been proposed as a better substitute to these harmful organic solvents, and scientists have come up with several neoteric solvents in the last three decades, to name a few: ionic liquids (ILs), switchable solvents, bio-based solvents and deep eutectic solvents (DESs). These neoteric solvents attract a great deal of interest from the scientific community due to plenty of possibilities, therefore, they have huge impact and novel studies are reported quite frequently on the same. In this review, we intend to focus to brief on deep eutectic solvents, about their properties, synthesis, promising applications, and how they gradually emerged from ILs and later stood out as a different class of neoteric solvent, which overcomes many shortcomings of ILs. DESs are possibly receptive synthetic compounds and their relationship based on the hydrogen bond donor or acceptor restricts their reactivity and allow to explore in different disciplines of science.     

ACID DISSOCIATION BEHAVIOR OF 2, 3- AND 2, 3, 9,lO-METHYL- OR CYCLOHEXYL-SUBSTITUTED CYCLAMS,THEIR COMPLEXATION BEHAVIOR WITH COPPER@) AND THE AXIAL SOLVENT SPECTRUM OF THEIR COMPLEXESINTERACTION EFFECT ON THE LIGAND-FIELD

Abstract

Stability constants of Cu(Il)-complexes for 1, 4, 8, 11-tetra-azacyclotetradecane (cyclam) analogs with periphery substituted [14]aneN₄-ring, 2, 3-tetramethyl-, 2, 3, 9, 10-octamethyl-, 2, 3-cyclohexyl, and 2, 3, 9, 10-dicyclohexyl-cyclams have been determined at 25°C in aqueous solution. The UV-Vis absorption spectra of their complexes, ([Cu(L)] (C1O₄)₂), were measured in water and some typical organic solvents (methanol, acetone, propylene carbonate, formamide, N, N-dimethylformamide, and dimethylsulfoxide). A good linear relationship was found between the stability constant logK_CuL) and the difference between the wavenumber of maximum absorption in water and in the organic solvents (δλ_max ^?1 (W-S)). The value of logK_CuL at δλ_max ^?1(W-S) = 0 not only shows a linear relation to solvent parameters, donor number and dielectric constant, but also to the enthalpy of transfer of ClO₄ ^? from water to the organic solvents. The value is proposed as a new solvent parameter ‘Kλlue’ to be used as an index for solvent-effects on Cu(II)-complexes of cyclam analogs. The increasing order of the new parameter (log scale) is as follows; DMF(27.24)>DMSO(27.14)>FA(26.82)>MeOH(26.27)>PC(25.75)>AC(24.71). Another meaning of the new parameter is assumed from connection of the potentiometric data with spectrometric data. The solvent effects on stability and the UV-Vis spectra are assumed to be caused by perturbation of the D_{4 h} or axially-elongated ligand field through axial approach of solvent to the Cu(II)-complexes and by formation of a solvent-separated ion pair between a solvated Cu(lI)-complex cation and counter anion (ClO₄)     

The impact of surface area,volume, curvature,and Lennard–Jones potential to solvation modeling

This article explores the impact of surface area, volume, curvature, and Lennard–Jones (LJ) potential on solvation free energy predictions. Rigidity surfaces are utilized to generate robust analytical expressions for maximum, minimum, mean, and Gaussian curvatures of solvent–solute interfaces, and define a generalized Poisson–Boltzmann (GPB) equation with a smooth dielectric profile. Extensive correlation analysis is performed to examine the linear dependence of surface area, surface enclosed volume, maximum curvature, minimum curvature, mean curvature, and Gaussian curvature for solvation modeling. It is found that surface area and surfaces enclosed volumes are highly correlated to each other's, and poorly correlated to various curvatures for six test sets of molecules. Different curvatures are weakly correlated to each other for six test sets of molecules, but are strongly correlated to each other within each test set of molecules. Based on correlation analysis, we construct twenty six nontrivial nonpolar solvation models. Our numerical results reveal that the LJ potential plays a vital role in nonpolar solvation modeling, especially for molecules involving strong van der Waals interactions. It is found that curvatures are at least as important as surface area or surface enclosed volume in nonpolar solvation modeling. In conjugation with the GPB model, various curvature‐based nonpolar solvation models are shown to offer some of the best solvation free energy predictions for a wide range of test sets. For example, root mean square errors from a model constituting surface area, volume, mean curvature, and LJ potential are less than 0.42 kcal/mol for all test sets. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Symmetry of chloronium ions from ionic reaction of chlorine, chlorine monofluoride gas, and chlorine monofluoride complex with terminal alkenes

Ionic chlorination of 1H,1H,7H-perfluorohept-1-ene (2) and heptafluoropropyl trifluorovinyl ether (4) with chlorine monofluoride (ClF) gas in aprotic solvent; and alkenes 2, 1H-perfluorohept-1-ene (3E), and 4 with chlorine (Cl₂) in protic solvent were investigated. Regiochemical data from SN₂-like ring-opening of the intermediate was used to predict the symmetry of the chloronium ion. The chloronium ions from perfluorohydroalkene 2 with two terminal hydrogens were found to be unsymmetrical with positive charge localized on the terminal carbon. However, reaction of ClF_(g) with 3E containing a single terminal fluorine atom gave data suggesting a symmetrical chloronium ion. Alkene 4 contains a heptafluoropropyl ether group that stabilizes positive charge on the number-2 carbon and it is reactive enough to give products with the sluggish ClF complex generated in situ. Reactive eletrophiles ClF_(g), Cl_2(g), or the less reactive ClF complex, give an unsymmetrical chloromium ion with charge localized on the internal number-2 carbon.     

Implementation and testing of stable, fast implicit solvation in molecular dynamics using the smooth-permittivity finite difference Poisson-Boltzmann method

A fast stable finite difference Poisson-Boltzmann (FDPB) model for implicit solvation in molecular dynamics simulations was developed using the smooth permittivity FDPB method implemented in the OpenEye ZAP libraries. This was interfaced with two widely used molecular dynamics packages, AMBER and CHARMM. Using the CHARMM-ZAP software combination, the implicit solvent model was tested on eight proteins differing in size, structure, and cofactors: calmodulin, horseradish peroxidase (with and without substrate analogue bound), lipid carrier protein, flavodoxin, ubiquitin, cytochrome c, and a de novo designed 3-helix bundle. The stability and accuracy of the implicit solvent simulations was assessed by examining root-mean-squared deviations from crystal structure. This measure was compared with that of a standard explicit water solvent model. In addition we compared experimental and calculated NMR order parameters to obtain a residue level assessment of the accuracy of MD-ZAP for simulating dynamic quantities. Overall, the agreement of the implicit solvent model with experiment was as good as that of explicit water simulations. The implicit solvent method was up to eight times faster than the explicit water simulations, and approximately four times slower than a vacuum simulation (i.e., with no solvent treatment).     

The complexation of alkali metal ions by crown ethers,aza crown ethers,and cryptands in propylene carbonate

The reactions between alkali metal ions and crown ethers, aza crown ethers, and cryptands in propylene carbonate were studied by potentiometric and calorimetric titrations. The most stable complexes formed by macrocyclic and macrobicyclic ligands are when the ligand and cation dimensions are comparable. On comparing the complex stabilities of crown ethers and aza crown ethers of the same size, crown ethers were, on the whole, found to form the most stable complexes, with the exception of the lithium cation. Enthalpic factors are responsible. Substitution of the amino group protons of the aza crown ethers by benzyl groups leads to a high increase in values of the reaction enthalpy. This effect is partly compensated by entropic contributions. The bulky benzyl groups reduce the ligand solvent interactions and induce a ligand conformation with the lone pair of electrons from the nitrogen donor atoms which are more or less directed inside the cavity. The thermodynamic data for the transfer from methanol to propylene carbonate indicate that the ligands containing nitrogen show specific interactions with methanol.This paper is dedicated to Professor H. Strehlow on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

来源于类芽孢杆菌属新型耐有机溶剂脂肪酶的克隆、表达与性质研究（英文）

脂肪酶(EC 3.1.1.3)全称为三酰基甘油水解酶,是一类能够将长链脂肪酸甘油酯水解成脂肪酸和二甘酯、单甘酯或甘油的酯键水解酶.它除了能够水解脂肪外,还具有催化酯化反应、酯交换反应、酸解反应、醇解反应以及氨解等反应的性质.在脂肪酶催化的反应中,通常用有机溶剂代替水.有机溶剂可以转移合成反应的平衡方向,通过溶剂工程修饰酶的选择性能够提高底物的溶解度、有机相产物的回收率、酶的热稳定性.但有机溶剂对酶活性和稳定性有不同程度的影响.因此,寻找在有机溶剂中表现出高活性和稳定性的脂肪酶是一个亟待解决的重要课题.由于微生物种类多、作用底物专一性强,且微生物来源的脂肪酶一般分泌到胞外,因此微生物脂肪酶是工业用脂肪酶的重要来源.目前,微生物脂肪酶的研究主要集中于根霉属(Rhizopus)、曲霉属(Aspergillus)、青霉属(Penicillium)、毛霉属(Mucor)、地霉属(Geotrichum)、假丝酵母属(Candida)、假单胞菌属(Pseudomonas)、伯克霍尔德菌属(Burkholderia)等具有工业应用价值的菌株.很少有类芽孢杆菌属所产脂肪酶进行相关酶学性质的研究.我们以Paenibacillus pasadenensis CS0611为出发菌株,在全基因序列草图中得到了一个新型脂肪酶基因lp2252.以Paenibacillus pasadenensis CS0611基因组为模板,设计特异性引物对目标序列进行扩增,并成功将其插入到表达载体p ET-28a中得到含有目的基因的重组质粒.在E.coli BL21(DE3)中,脂肪酶lp2252经0.1mmol/L的IPTG诱导后在20°C实现了高水平表达.重组脂肪酶的活性约为野生型的1631倍.用镍离子亲和层析柱快速、高效地纯化了两端带有组氨酸标签的重组脂肪酶,回收率为63.5%,纯化因子为10.78.纯化后的脂肪酶最适温度为50°C,在20-40°C范围内具有良好的稳定性.最适pH值为7,属于中性脂肪酶,同时在pH 3.0-8.0间具有较高稳定性.在金属离子如钙、镁离子和一些非离子表面活性剂的作用下,其活性有所提高.此外,纯化后的脂肪酶可被一系列水溶性有机溶剂激活,例如一些短链醇.而对某些水不溶性有机溶剂,其也具有高度的耐受性.综上所述,本文所涉新型脂肪酶在非水相催化领域具有广泛的应用和前景.

Ethanol-ammonium sulfate system based modified quick,easy, cheap,effective, rugged,and safe method for the determination of four neonicotinoid pesticide and metabolite residues in two canned fruits

As the pesticide and its metabolite residues in processed fruits could become a significant route of human exposure. The work presented herein focuses on developing a feasible quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe method with improved extraction and cleanup system for the determination of imidacloprid, acetamiprid, thiamethoxam, and clothianidin (a metabolite of thiamethoxam) in canned fruits. The low toxic solvent ethanol was used to extract the analytes, and ammonium sulfate was used to promote phase separation. Moreover, the carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube acted as the clean-up sorbent for the removal of high solubility impurities. The proposed method was validated with fortified real samples at different concentration levels (20–200 μg/kg). Recoveries obtained from three spiked levels (20, 50, and 200 μg/kg) ranged from 74.9 to 86.4% with relative standard deviations of the intra-day and inter-day in the range of 0.8–5.5 and 2.0–7.1%, respectively. The limits of detection ranged from 0.2 to 0.5 and 0.2 to 0.6 μg/kg for orange and peach, respectively. The results demonstrated that the proposed method could be considered appropriate, and comparatively lower toxic for the analysis of neonicotinoid pesticide residues in canned fruit.     

Hydrogen bonding and solvatochromatic shift of the lowest 1(n, pi*) excitation of s-tetrazine in its hydrated clusters and dilute solutions

Hydrogen bonding involving azine and its derivatives such as nucleic bases is very important for understanding the structure and function of biological systems. In this work, we have investigated the hydrogen bonding structures of the hydrated cluster and dilute aqueous solution of s-tetrazine using computer simulation techniques, and evaluated the absorption and fluorescence shifts of the lowest 1(n, pi*) excitation of s-tetrazine solution using our solvent shift method. For the s-tetrazine-water cluster, a linear orthodox hydrogen bond arrangement is predicted in both ground and excited states with small structural and energetic differences, and a bifurcated hydrogen bond isomerization is anticipated. Further, ab initio calculations have verified these conformations. For the s-tetrazine-water solution, a mixture of two hydrogen bonding arrangements is found to be in both ground and excited states, resulting in small magnitudes of absorption and fluorescence solvent shifts. This finalizes our series investigation of hydrogen bonding and solvent shifts of dilute azines in water.     

Correlation between GPC,DSC, and Analytical TREF for Linear Polyethylene

Analytical temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF) of linear polyethylene (PE) samples with different densities was done in 1-chloronaphthalene using a gel permeation chromatograph (GPC) coupled with a gas chromatograph. The corrected peak elution temperatures completed the previously obtained data in trichlorobenzene, xylene, and dibutoxymethane. A mathematical correlation was found for diluted linear PE samples between the α parameter of the Mark-Houwink-Sakurada equation governing the retention time in GPC, the bulk melting temperature measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the TREF peak elution temperature. The extrapolation to the melting temperature measured by DSC gives α = 0.5, thus confirming the hypothesis that polymer conformations in the melt are similar to those in a theta solvent.     

Solvent effect on the tautomers' stabilities of protonated N,N‐dimethylnitrosamine: The role of hydrogen bonds network

DFT calculations have been applied in order to study the free energies of the structures corresponding to the three different protonation sites of N,N‐dimethylnitrosamine (DMNA). The solvent effect has been taken into account through the study of clusters consisting of protonated DMNA and up to four explicit water molecules, either in the absence or in the presence of a continuum (CPCM) solvation model. Addition of water molecules has been done by a careful screening procedure through which all important hydrogen bonds are likely to be considered. Protonation of DMNA makes all their lone pairs no longer available for hydrogen bond formation with water molecules, such that hydrogen bonds have been observed, for almost all structures, only between water molecules and between one water molecule and the protonated DMNA, in this latter case intermediated by the proton. The stabilities of the solvated structures are governed not only by the number of hydrogen bonds but also by the positions of the water molecules involved in these bonds, as well as by which of them donate or accept H atoms. Our results indicate that oxygen protonation is the most favorable one, regardless of the presence of water molecules. In vacuum protonation at the N‐amino ( 2a ) is approximately as favorable as protonation at the N nitroso ( 2c ). However, in water the former protonation is by far the less favorable one. Our best estimates for the ΔG values in bulk solvent are: ΔG( 2a ) ≈ 17.9, ΔG( 1c ) ≈ 4.3, and ΔG( 2c ) ≈ 4.9 kcal/mol.     

A comparison of accelerated solvent extraction,Soxhlet extraction,and ultrasonic-assisted extraction for analysis of terpenoids and sterols in tobacco

The performance of accelerated solvent extraction in the analysis of terpenoids and sterols in tobacco samples was investigated and compared with those of Soxhlet extraction and ultrasonically assisted extraction with respect to yield, extraction time, reproducibility and solvent consumption. The results indicate that although the highest yield was achieved by Soxhlet extraction, ASE appears to be a promising alternative to classical methods since it is faster and uses less solvent, especially when applied to the investigation of large batch tobacco samples. However, Soxhlet extraction is still the preferred method for analyzing sterols since it gives a higher extraction efficiency than other methods.     

Polymeric Nanoparticles Stabilized by Surfactants Investigated by Light Scattering,Small-Angle Neutron Scattering,and Cryo-TEM Methods

We have investigated self-organization of polymers with surfactants through solvent shifting process resulting in formation of stable and uniform nanoparticles. We studied polymeric nanoparticles made of poly(methylmethacrylate) and of polystyrene dispersed in water. The dispersion was prepared by a fast mixing of a solution of the polymers with a solution of several ionic and nonionic surfactants in pure water. We observed the formation of well defined nanoparticles by light scattering, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM) methods. The study shows how nanoparticle properties are changed by the chemical composition of surfactants, molar mass of polymers, concentrations of both components and finally, by variations in method of nanoparticles preparation. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and static light scattering (SLS) provide the hydrodynamic radii and radii of gyration for selected types of nanoparticles. Cryo-TEM experiments prove that the nanoparticles have good spherical shape. Analysis of SANS data and Cryo-TEM micrographs suggest that the prepared particles are composed of polymer and surfactant that are evenly distributed.
