Syntheses of per-N labeled etioporphyrins I-IV and a related tetrahydrobenzoporphyrin for applications in organic geochemistry and vibrational spectroscopy

Nitrogen-15 labeled pyrroles have been prepared from commercially available ¹⁵N glycine or sodium nitrite using the Barton-Zard, Knorr, and Kleinspehn approaches. These pyrroles were used as intermediates in the synthesis of per-¹⁵N labeled porphyrins needed for the analysis and assignment of vibrational spectra for sedimentary porphyrins. Etioporphyrin-I was prepared via pyrromethene intermediates, while etioporphyrins II-V and a related tetrahydrobenzoporphyrin were synthesized via stepwise routes involving the copper(II) mediated cyclization of a,c-biladienes as the key step. Detailed analyses of both the proton and carbon-13 NMR spectra provide nitrogen-15 coupling constants for these important structures.     

反相毛细管电色谱中中性化合物的保留及有机改性剂对其保留值的影响

以硫脲作为电渗流标记物测定的死时间和以苯同系物线性回归方法测定的死时间为基础，将液相色谱中溶质保留值方程应用到电色谱中，得到了容量因子与二元流动相体系中有机改性剂含量之间的关系曲线；通过实验数据说明了一些极性的电中性化合物在电场作用下也会发生迁移而引起保留值的变化，且这种变化还受有机改性剂含量的影响。     

Assessment of Four Inter-Comparison Exercises in Organic Elemental Analysis

 Four inter-comparison exercises on organic elemental analysis were carried out between 1997 and 2001 by the Department of Analytical Chemistry of the University of Barcelona, together with the Microanalysis Service and the Institute of the Marine Sciences, which both belong to the CSIC in Barcelona, and the University of A Coru?a. More than sixty laboratories participated in these exercises. Here we describe the design and characteristics of the trials, the samples and the homogeneity tests applied. We report the results obtained for the analysis of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen, their statistical analysis, and the most relevant aspects of the technical discussion meetings.

Effect of adsorption of vapours on the electrical conductivity of some polyene semiconductors: adsorption and desorption kinetics

The change in semiconductive properties of β-apo-8′-carotenal, astacene and methyl bixin on adsorption of various vapours on the crystallite surfaces has been studied at a constant sample temperature. The adsorption of vapours enhances the semiconductivity of the polyenes appreciably. This enhancement depends on the chemical nature and also on the pressure of the adsorbed vapour. The adsorption and desorption kinetics follow the modified Roginsky-Zeldovich relation. A two stage desorption process, the first stage of which gives a Lennard-Jones potential energy curve and is followed by a rate-determining transition over a potential energy barrier to the second stage of adsorption forming weakly bound complexes between the vapour molecules and the polyene crystallites, can explain satisfactorily the experimentally observed kinetic data.     

氟阴离子在有机合成中的应用：Ⅱ.无水氟化钾催化乙酐与苯甲醛的Perkin反应

用无水醋酸盐催化苯甲醛与乙酐的Perkin反应,一般反应时间较长,产率最高为55—60％.用三乙胺、吡啶和无水碳酸钾等作催化剂,产率也无明显提高.近年来氟阴离子在有机合成中的应用迅速发展,我们曾用无水氟化钾催化成功地实施了丙二酸二乙酯与苯甲醛的Knoevenagel缩合,并研讨了该反应的微环境效应.本工作首次用无水氟     

An overview of laboratory performance studies conducted by the IAEA for marine pollution studies of metals and organic contaminants

Aspects of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Analytical Quality Control Services (AQCS) for marine environmental studies are discussed, focusing on recent laboratory performance studies (LPS) and the production of reference materials for trace metals and organic compounds in various marine matrices. The IAEA has organized seventeen global interlaboratory studies for a range of organic contaminants. Of note has been the inclusion of numerous polychlorinated biphenyl congeners (PCBs) and some sterols of anthropogenic origin. Concurrently, there have been eleven worldwide intercomparison exercises for trace metals in the marine environment, most of which included methylmercury. Although such interlaboratory studies can help improve performance in individual laboratories and regional laboratory networks, the results reveal that problems remain in the determination of some metals and many organic contaminants.

Ga3(HPO3)4F4(H3DETA) (DETA=diethylenetriamine): A new open-framework fluorinated gallium phosphite with pentameric building unit

Ga₃(HPO₃)₄F₄(H₃DETA) is a new open-framework fluorinated gallium phosphite obtained by mild hydrothermal synthesis using diethylenetriamine as templated agent and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, the powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, TGA, ICP and elemental analyses. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, a=12.741(6) Å, b=12.068(6) Å, c=11.988(5) Å, β=94.902(8)^o, V=1836.6(15) Å³, Z=4. The construction of 3D open-framework structure in the title compound may be viewed as the assembly of pentameric building units and HPO₃ groups. The pentameric building unit is the first to be found, which lead to form the three types of channels along a-, b- and c-axes, respectively, in gallium phosphite. The triprotonated DETA cations are inserted within the 10-membered ring channels and interact with anions of the framework via hydrogen bonds.     

Investigation on spontaneous ignition of two kinds of organic material with water

A systematic investigation was performed to elucidate the cause of spontaneous ignition of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and Meat Bone Meal (MBM). Heat generation in both RDF and MBM with addition of water liquid and vapor at room temperature was determined by isothermal calorimetry. Compared with water liquid, the heat of wetting by sorption of water vapor at 80% relative humidity and 25 °C was larger, which can raise the temperature of RDF and MBM more than 30 and 56 °C, respectively. Heat generation due to fermentation occurred and the temperature of RDF and MBM reached or exceeded 80 °C after 5 days for RDF and 4 days for MBM at 100% RH. The spontaneous ignition for RDF and MBM results from heat of wetting and fermentation at room temperature and a further exothermic reaction at higher temperature.     

Ozone as an oxygen source for alkene ene-reactions

Summary A strategy was developed which uses the adduct of ozone and triphenyl phosphite as a substitute for photochemically generated singlet oxygen in ene reactions of olefins. The resulting allylic hydroperoxide can be conveniently reduced by a second mole of phosphite to yield the corresponding allylic alcohol. The aryl phosphate produced as the by-product can either be recycled by reduction or used itself as a commodity. As an example, the two key steps of the rose oxide synthesis involving singlet oxygen can thus be reduced to a one pot procedure. With respect to the reaction mechanism, additional arguments for the direct reaction of the olefin with the phosphite ozonide were gathered. A simple decomposition of the ozonide to produce singlet oxygen was made rather unlikely.

Ozon als Sauerstoffquelle für En-Reaktionen von Olefinen

Zusammenfassung Es wurde eine Strategie zum Ersatz von photochemisch erzeugtem Singlett-Sauerstoff durch das Addukt aus Ozon und Triphenylphosphit zum Einsatz in En-Reaktionen von Olefinen entwickelt. Das entstehende allylische Hydroperoxid kann durch ein zweites Molekül Phosphit einfach zum entsprechenden allylischen Alkolhol reduziert werden. Das als Nebenprodukt entstehende Arylphosphat kann entweder durch Reduktion recycliert oder direkt als Handelsware weiterverwendet werden. Auf diese Weise können zum Beispiel die beiden Stufen der Rosenoxidsynthese, an denen Singlett-Sauerstoff beteiligt ist, zu einer Eintopfreaktion vereinfacht werden. Bezüglich des Reaktionsmechanismus wurden zusätzliche Hinweise auf die direkte Reaktion des Phosphitozonids mit dem Olefin gefunden. Eine Zersetzung des Ozonids unter Bildung von Singlettsauerstoff ist nicht wahrscheinlich.
