The reactions of substituted 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones and -3-ones with sodium cyanide, in acetonitrile, afford convenient routes to indolizine, pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine and 4H-1,3-thiazin-4-one species.     

Determination of aminosaccharides by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection

High-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAC) was used for the determination of aminosaccharides in microbial polymers, chitin, animal waste, sewage sludge, plant residues and soil. The aminosaccharides, galactosamine, mannosamine and glucosamine were separated on a strong anion-exchange column with 1OmM sodium hydroxide as the eluent and determined by pulsed amperometric detection (PAD). The HPAC-PAD methodology was compared with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with refractive index detection (RI) in terms of selectivity and sensitivity for aminosaccharides. The results indicate that HPAC-PAD required less sample preparation, and was more precise and nearly two orders of magnitude more sensitive than HPLC-RI. HPAC-PAD was not subject to matrix interferences and was highly selective for aminosaccharides. More than 3% of the total nitrogen in alfalfa, and 20% of that in straw, was found to be present as aminosaccharides.     

Comparison of different solid phase extraction materials and techniques by application of multiresidue methods for the determination of pesticides in water by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

Solid phase extraction materials and techniques (C-18 EMPORE^® disks, polystyrenedivinylbenzene (SDB) EMPORE^® disks, C-18 BondElut cartridges and ENVI-Carb cartridges) are compared for the preconcentration of 33 basic/neutral and 10 acidic/phenolic pesticides and three metabolites in water. The efficiency of the different extraction procedures was investigated by application of appropriate multiresidue separation methods by reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography with UV-diode-array detection. Calibrations were performed with multicomponent standard mixtures and recoveries, relative standard deviations and determination limits were calculated for comparing the described enrichment methods. Experiences made in practical application of the different techniques and materials were also considered for the final evaluation.

Hydrogen isotope effects in electron donor-acceptor systems

The charge-transfer (CT) transition of complexes involving alkylated aromatic electron donors shifts hypsochromically upon benzylic deuteration. This is attributed to hyperconjugative effects.

Complexity of intercalation of hydrazine into kaolinite--a controlled rate thermal analysis and DRIFT spectroscopic study

Controlled rate thermal analysis (CRTA) allows the separation of adsorbed and intercalated hydrazine. CRTA displays the presence of three different types of hydrogen-bonded hydrazine in the intercalation complex: (a) The first is adsorbed loosely bonded on the kaolinite structure fully expanded by hydrazine-hydrate and liberated between approx 50 and 70 degrees C (b) The second intercalated hydrazine is lost between approx 70 and 85 degrees C. (c) The third type of intercalated-hydrazine molecule is lost in the 85-130 degrees C range. CRTA at 70 degrees C enables the removal of hydrazine-water and results in the partial collapse of the hydrazine-intercalated kaolinite structure to form a hydrazine-intercalated kaolinite. Removal of the adsorbed hydrazine enables the DRIFT spectra of the hydrazine-intercalated complex without any adsorbed hydrazine to be obtained. A band at 3626 cm(-1) attributed to the inner surface hydroxyls of kaolinite hydrogen bonded to hydrazine is observed. The intercalation of hydrazine-hydrate into kaolinite is complex and results from the different types of surface interactions of the hydrazine with the kaolinite surfaces.     

Prediction of soil organic carbon partition coefficients by soil column liquid chromatography

To avoid the limitation of the widely used prediction methods of soil organic carbon partition coefficients (KOC) from hydrophobic parameters, e.g., the n-octanol/water partition coefficients (KOW) and the reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) retention factors, the soil column liquid chromatographic (SCLC) method was developed for KOC prediction. The real soils were used as the packing materials of RP-HPLC columns, and the correlations between the retention factors of organic compounds on soil columns (ksoil) and KOC measured by batch equilibrium method were studied. Good correlations were achieved between ksoil and KOC for three types of soils with different properties. All the square of the correlation coefficients (R2) of the linear regression between log ksoil and log KOC were higher than 0.89 with standard deviations of less than 0.21. In addition, the prediction of KOC from KOW and the RP-HPLC retention factors on cyanopropyl (CN) stationary phase (kCN) was comparatively evaluated for the three types of soils. The results show that the prediction of KOC from kCN and KOW is only applicable to some specific types of soils. The results obtained in the present study proved that the SCLC method is appropriate for the KOC prediction for different types of soils, however the applicability of using hydrophobic parameters to predict KOC largely depends on the properties of soil concerned.
