Reactions of orthophthalaldehyde with ammonia and 2-aminoethanol

Reactions of orthophthalaldehyde (OPA) with amines are used in the determination of amino acids and in applications of OPA as a biocide. To contribute to the understanding of processes involved, the reactions of OPA with ammonia, which are conveniently slow, were studied. In a set of rapidly established equilibria, the 1,3-dihydroxyindole and the product of its dehydration are formed (Scheme 1). The individual equilibria were identified and equilibrium constants determined using DC polarography and UV spectra. The ring closure involves the carbinolamine; the imine formation is a side reaction. Both the ring formation and the dehydration of the carbinolamine are generally acid catalyzed. In the finally established overall equilibria between OPA and the isoindole derivative, the concentrations of intermediates are negligible. The same applies to the reaction of OPA with 2-aminoethanol, in which the initial formation of a carbinolamine and of an imine are too fast to be followed. Very slow reactions taking place during periods of hours or days, which probably result in the formation of dimeric species, have also been observed. This contribution demonstrates the advantages of combinations of polarographic and spectrophotometric techniques in the investigation of complex reactions of some organic compounds.     

Design, characterization, and utilization of a fast fluorescence derivatization reaction utilizing o-phthaldialdehyde coupled with fluorescent thiols

We have developed a chemical derivatization scheme for primary amines that couples the fast kinetic properties of o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) with the photophysical properties of visible, high quantum yield, fluorescent dyes. In this reaction, OPA is used as a cross-linking reagent in the labeling reaction of primary amines in the presence of a fluorescent thiol, 5-((2-(and-3)-S-(acetylmercapto)succinoyl)amino)fluorescein (SAMSA fluorescein), thereby incorporating fluorescein (epsilon = 78 000 M(-1), quantum yield of 0.98) into the isoindole product. Detection is based on excitation and emission of the incorporated fluorescein using the 488 nm laser line of an Ar(+) laser rather than the UV-excited isoindole, thereby eliminating the UV light sources for detection. Using this method, we have quantitatively labeled biologically important primary amines in less than 10 s. Detection limits for analysis of glutamate, glycine, GABA, and taurine were less than 2 nM. We present the characterization of OPA/SAMSA-F reaction and the potential utility of the derivatization reaction for dynamic chemical monitoring of biologically relevant analytes using CE.     

o-Phthaldialdehyde derivatization of histidine: stoichiometry, stability and reaction mechanism

The irregular behavior of histidine in its reaction with the o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) reagents has been studied. Histidine provides more than one OPA derivative. Similarly to all those primary amino group-containing compounds that do have in their initial structure the -CH2-NH2 moiety. The ratio of histidine's initially formed and transformed OPA derivatives depends on the temperature: very likely due to the fact that elevated temperature favors the intra-molecular rearrangement of histidine resulting in the formation of the -CH2-NH2 moiety-containing tautomer(s). The higher the temperature the higher the amount of the transformed species. The composition of the initially and transformed OPA derivatives of histidine were identified on the basis of their on-line HPLC-electrospray ionization (ESI) MS spectra and computations. The initially formed species has been identified as the classical isoindole, while the transformed one contains an additional OPA molecule.     

A new simple and rapid electrochemical method for the determination of hydroxyl radical generated by Fenton reaction and its application

A simple and rapid electrochemical method to detect the hydroxyl radical is described. This method employed the reaction between.OH and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to generate quantitatively formaldehyde, which then reacted with hydrazine hydrochloride at pH 6.2. The product showed a second-order derivative cathodic wave with the peak potential of -1.08 V( vsSCE) by single sweep oscillopolarography. The electrochemical behavior of the product was investigated by single sweep oscillopolarography and cyclic voltammetry. The experimental conditions for the measurement were optimized and the scavenging activity of some flavonoids on hydroxyl radicals was studied.     

On the Stability of Isoindole-Type Fluorophores Derived from O-Phthalaldehyde,Primary Amino Compounds and Thiols

Abstract

o-Phthalaldehyde (OPA), a primary amino compound and a thiol react to produce a ternary isoindole-type fluorophore. The effect of the structure of the constituent amino compound on the chemical stability of isoindole fluorophores was investigated. The amino compounds with steric hindrance around the -NH₂ group such as L-tryptophan and L-Dopa exhibited a marked stabilization effect on the isoindole fluorophores. By using OPA and L-typtophan as reagents, a procedure was established for the fluorometric determination of thiols which permitted the determination of 2 nmol of L-cysteine (CySH). The possible mechanism for the instability of isoindole accelerated by increasing concentration of OPA was also discussed.     

稀土元素的电分析化学研究 X:钆-茜素红的极谱配合吸附波的研究

In a supporting electrolyte containing 2X10-4M Alizarin Red S, 0.1M NH3-NH4Cl and at pH 9.6, we obtained an adsorptive complex wave of gadolinium-Alizarin Bed S by single-sweep polarography. The peak potential of the derivative wave is -0.69V (S. C. E.). The limit of detection for gadolinium is 6X10-8M. We have determined the composition of the complex which is 1:3 GD-Alizarin Red S and confirmed that the wave is an adsorptive complex wave. The electrode processes may be presented as follows: Gd3+ + 3HL2- + 3NH3 = (GdL3)6- + 3(NH4)^+ (Chemical reaction) (GdL3)6- = (GdL3)ad6- (Surface process) The total electrochemical reaction is (GdL3)ad6- + 6e + 6(NH4)^+ = (Gd(LH2)3)ad6- + 6NH3     

Synthesis and two-electron redox behavior of diazuleno[2,1-a:1,2-c]naphthalenes

The Diels-Alder reaction of di-2-azulenylacetylene with tetraphenylcyclopentadienone afforded 7,8,9,10-tetraphenyldiazuleno[2,1-a:1,2-c]naphthalene in one pot via autoxidation of the presumed 1,2-di-2-azulenylbenzene derivative. In contrast, a similar reaction of bis(1-methoxycarbonyl-2-azulenyl)acetylene with tetraphenylcyclopentadienone gave the 1,2-di-2-azulenylbenzene derivative. The following cyclodehydrogenation reaction of the benzene derivative with iron(III) chloride afforded diazuleno[2,1-a:1,2-c]naphthalene 6,11-bismethoxycarbonyl derivative. The redox behavior of these novel diazuleno[2,1-a:1,2-c]naphthalenes was examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV). These compounds exhibited two-step oxidation waves at +0.22 to +0.71 V upon CV, which revealed the formation of a radical cation and dication stabilized by the fused two azulene rings under the electrochemical oxidation conditions. Since the 1,2-di-2-azulenylbenzene derivative was oxidized at higher oxidation potentials (+0.83 and +1.86 V), the fusion of the two azulene rings to naphthalene increased electron-donating properties because of the formation of a closed-shell dicationic structure. Formation of the radical cation was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy under the electrochemical oxidation conditions, although no evidence was obtained for the presumed dication under the conditions of the UV-vis spectroscopy measurement.     

Electrochemical Studies of the Recognition Interaction of Rhodamine B with DNA

The recognition interaction of rhodamine B (RB) with DNA was studied in pH 7.5 Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution by electrochemical techniques. An irreversible oxidation peak at glassy carbon electrode was obtained at 0.92V (vs. SCE). After the addition of DNA into the RB solution, the peak current of RB decreased apparently without the shift of peak potential. The electrochemical parameters such as the charge transfer coefficient α and the electrode reaction standard rate constant ks of RB in the absence and presence of DNA were determined, which did not change, indicating that a non-electroactive complex was formed, so the concentration of RB in the solution decreased and the peak current decreased correspondingly.     

Rapid and selective determination of ammonium by fluorimetric flow injection analysis

Selective and sensitive procedures for the determination of ammonium in river water and diluted urine were developed by using flow injection analysis equipment. The methods are based on the derivatization of ammonia with o-phthaldehyde (OPA) and thioglycolate under alkaline conditions. The formed isoindole derivative is detected fluorimetrically at an excitation wavelength of 415 nm and an emission wavelength of 485 nm. The derivatization only takes 15 to 20 s at room temperature to achieve the maximum sensitivity. The optimized OPA reagent shows a surprisingly high selectivity for ammonium in the presence of many primary amines. With respect to the analysis of turbid and fluorescent sample solutions the selectivity can be improved by separating the ammonia through a microporous membrane from the OPA reagent. Without this separation step ammonia can be detected in the range between 0.05 and 100 microM with excellent linearity. After the insertion of an optimized membrane separation cell ammonia can be determined in the linear range between 0.2 microM and 20 mM.

Development of an automated on-line pre-column derivatization procedure for sensitive determination of histamine in food with high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection

An improved sensitive method was developed and validated for the determination of histamine in food samples by using automated on-line pre-column derivatization coupled with high performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD). o-Phthaldialdehyde (OPA) was adopted as derivatization reagent, and a "sandwich" (OPA+histamine+OPA) aspiration mode for the automated on-line pre-column derivatization was found to efficiently enhance the method sensitivity and precision. Histamine in food samples was efficiently extracted with a methanol-phosphate buffer solution (50:50, v/v) at 60 degrees C for 30 min, and purified with Waters Oasis MCX solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. The limit of quantification for this method is 0.2 mg/kg, which is very sensitive for histamine determination. With the "sandwich" injection program, 3.7% of relative standard deviation (RSD) was achieved by five replicative determinations of a sample blank spiked with 0.25 mg/kg histamine standard. Histamine in food samples such as fumitory skipjack and mackerel was analyzed with relative recoveries over 95% at spiking level of 150 mg/kg, as well as canned tuna fish and cheese with relative recoveries up to 98% at spiking levels of 0.50 and 5.0 mg/kg, respectively. The proposed method was validated with a sample from the Food Analysis Performance Assessment Scheme (FAPAS) as a standard certified material; and the results (140+/-6 mg/kg) agreed well with the assigned value (139 mg/kg).     

生理条件下对苯二酚的电化学行为及电极产物的色谱鉴定

用循环伏安法研究了对苯二酚在玻碳电极上的电化学行为，从循环伏安图上看出当在0至1．6V电位间连续扫描20次，在0．63V左右可见到一氧化峰电位，其峰电流随扫描次数的增加而减小。说明电极反应为不可逆过程。然而，如改变在-1．4～1.6V电位间扫描，仅数次扫描后即可在Epa=0．25V和Epc=-0．08V处见到一对氧化还原峰电位，说明了此过程为一可逆过程。同时，对电极反应的产物用RHPLC进行研究和鉴定，从色谱图所示结果与电化学法所得结果一致。根据此工作的研究结果对苯二酚在呼吸链中所产生的作用进行了探讨。

采用循环伏安法研究了酸性介质中碘离子在铂电极上不同电位区间, 不同酸度下的电化学反应行为. 结果表明, 当极化电位较低(小于0.6 V(vs Hg/Hg2SO4))时, 碘离子在铂电极上发生2I--2e→I2电氧化反应, 反应产物通过I2+I-=I-3被进一步溶解, 整个反应属于E-C(electrochemical-chemical)模式. 电氧化过程中可以形成碘膜, 其也可以被碘离子溶解. 当极化电位升高至0.6 V(vs Hg/Hg2SO4)或以上时, 碘离子会直接电氧化为高价态碘化合物, I-+3H2O→IO-3+6H++6e, 而析出的碘膜并不发生再氧化反应; 在电化学还原过程中, 出现了两个还原峰, 分别对应于I2、I-3的还原反应; 在无碘膜时, 碘离子电氧化过程受溶液中碘离子的液相扩散步骤控制; 碘膜形成后, 主要受碘膜中碘离子的固相扩散控制; 酸度对于碘离子的电化学氧化过程有很大的影响, 其线性极化曲线的起峰电位及电流峰值电位均随酸浓度升高而负移.     

Electrochemical and spectroscopic behavior of iron(III) porphyrazines in Langmuir-Schafer films

Thin films of a newly synthesized iron(III) porphyrazine, LFeOESPz ( L = ClEtO, OESPz = ethylsulfanylporphyrazine), have been deposited by the Langmuir-Schafer (LS) technique (horizontal lifting) on ITO or gold substrates. Before deposition, the floating films have been investigated at the air-water interface by pressure/area per molecule (pi/ A) experiments, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) and UV-vis reflection spectroscopy (RefSpec). The complex reacts with water subphase (pH 6.2) forming the mu-oxo dimer, which becomes the predominant component of the LS films ( LS-Fe) as indicated by optical, IR, XPS, and electrochemical data. LS-Fe multilayers exhibit, between open circuit potential (OCP) and +0.90 V (vs SCE), two independent peak pairs with formal potentials, E surf (I) and E surf(II) of +0.56 V and +0.78 V, respectively. According to dynamic voltammetric and coulometric experiments the peak pair at +0.56 V is attributed to one-electron process at the iron(III) centers on the monomer, while the peak pair at +0.78 V is associated to a four-electron process involving mu-oxo-dimer oligomers. LS-Fe films prove to be quite stable electrochemically between OCP and +0.90 V. The electrochemical stability decreases, however, when the potential range is extended both anodically and cathodically outside these limits, due to formation of new species. Upon incubation with TCA solutions, LS-Fe films show remarkable changes in the UV-vis spectra, which are consistent with a significant mu-oxo dimer --> monomer conversion. Addition of TCA to the electrochemical cell using a LS-Fe film as working electrode, results in a linear increase of a cathodic current peak near -0.40 V as the TCA concentration varies in the 0.1-2.0 mM range. This behavior is interpreted in terms of TCA inducing a progressive change in the composition of the LS-Fe films in favor of the monomeric iron(III) porphyrazine, which is responsible for the observed increase in the cathodic current near -0.40 V.     

Studies on the electrochemical behavior of cytochrome c and its interaction with DNA at a Co/GC ion implantation modified electrode

The electrochemical behavior of cytochrome c (cyt c) and its interaction with DNA at a Co/glassy carbon (GC) ion implantation modified electrode were studied by linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry. In 0.005 mol dm(-3) Tris-0.05 mol dm(-3) NaCl buffer solution (pH = 7.10), a sensitive reduction derivative peak of cyt c was obtained by linear sweep voltammetry. The peak potential was 0.032 V (SCE). The peak current was proportional to the concentration of cyt c. The electrode process was quasi-reversible with adsorption. The electrode reaction rate constant k and the electron transfer coefficient a of cyt c were 4.42 s(-1) and 0.47, respectively. AES and XPS experiments showed that Co was implanted into the surface of the GC electrode (GCE). The implanted Co formed Co-C, which catalyzed the reduction of cyt c. The reaction of DNA with cyt c led to an electrochemically active complex, which resulted in an increase in the reduction current of cyt c. After adding DNA into the solution containing cyt c, the electrode process was still quasi-reversible with adsorption.

Existence and reactivity of three forms of orthophthalaldehyde in aqueous solutions. Polarographic, voltammetric, and spectrophotometric study

Orthophthalaldehyde (1,2-dicarboxaldehyde) (OPA) forms in the presence of a strong nucleophile with amino acids isoindole derivatives. The reaction is used in fluorometric determination of amino acids. The mechanism of these processes is not understood. OPA is present in aqueous solutions in three forms: unhydrated (I(a)), monohydrated acyclic (I(b)), and cyclic hemiacetal (I(c)). The absence of data for the molar absorptivities of these forms, together with overlap of their absorption bands, limits the application of spectrophotometry. Measurement of polarographic limiting currents of forms I(a) and I(b) enables determination of equilibrium constants K1 (formation of I(b)) and K2 (for the ring formation). The presence of these forms was supported by 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The rate of hydration of OPA is general-acid-base-catalyzed, but that of dehydration shows only specific-acid-base catalysis. The rate of hydration is controlled by general-acid-base-catalyzed addition of water to I(a). The rate of dehydration depends on the opening of the ring in I(c), which is specific-acid-base-catalyzed. At pH > 10 OPA undergoes a complex set of acid-base reactions (Scheme 3). The presence of polarographic anodic waves and oxidation on the gold electrode indicates the importance of the presence of a geminal diol form (II(a)). Establishment of equilibria among the three forms of OPA together with reactions at pH > 10 has to be considered in elucidating the reaction scheme of procedures using OPA as a reagent in the determination of amino acids.     

Reaction of Amino Acid Esters and Amides with o-Phthalaldehyde. Limitations in Fluorescent Yield

Abstract

Amino acid esters and amides fail to produce strong fluorescence following their reaction with o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) in the presence of β-mercaptoethanol. The lack of luminescence appears to arise from a quenching phenomenon rather than from reduced reactivity of these substrates toward OPA. The amido hydrogen in the peptide linkage has been implicated in the loss in fluorescence yield.

o-Phthalaldehyde (OPA) has proven to be a very useful reagent for converting amino acids to fluorescent isoindole derivatives¹. This derivatization process permits the visualization of femtomolar quantities of amino acids. Unfortunately, this technique has not been applied successfully to the derivatization of peptides^2,3, except for those containing lysine residues, in which the terminal amino group is attacked by the reagent⁴. It is the purpose of this note to more clearly define the limitations of OPA as a fluorogenic reagents for peptides and amino acid esters.
