Application of HPLC to measure vanadium in environmental,biological and clinical matrices

Vanadate and vanadium compounds exist in many environmental, biological and clinical matrices, and despite the need only limited progress has been made on the analysis of vanadium compounds. The vanadium coordination chemistry of different oxidation states is known, and the result of the characterization and speciation analysis depends on the subsequent chemistry and the methods of analysis. Many studies have used a range of methods for the characterization and determination of metal ions in a variety of materials. One successful technique is high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) that has been used mainly for measuring total vanadium level and metal speciation. Some cases have been reported where complexes of different oxidation states of vanadium have been separated by HPLC. Specifically reversed phase (RP) HPLC has frequently been used for the measurement of vanadium. Other HPLC methods such as normal phase, anion-exchange, cation-exchange, size exclusion and other RP-HPLC modes such as, ion-pair and micellar have been used to separate selected vanadium compounds. We will present a review that summarizes and critically analyzes the reported methods for analysis of vanadium salts and vanadium compounds in different sample matrices. We will compare various HPLC methods and modes including sample preparation, chelating reagents, mobile phase and detection methods. The comparison will allow us to identify the best analytical HPLC method and mode for measuring vanadium levels and what information such methods provide with regard to speciation and quantitation of the vanadium compounds.

One-pot rapid synthesis of 4H-1-benzopyran derivatives in a deep eutectic solvent

A method for introducing a biologically active heterocycle, 2-methylquinoline into the 4-position of a 2-amino-4H-1-benzopyran skeleton is described. Choline chloride/glucose (1:1 molar ratio) was used as both the solvent and catalyst in the reaction of a salicylaldehyde, methylquinoline, and cyanoacetate to obtain 2-amino-4H-1-benzopyran derivatives in 48%–80% yields after short reaction times. The effects of the deep eutectic solvent type, substrate molar ratio, cosolvent, temperature, and reaction time were examined. The method has the advantages of simple steps, environmental friendliness, mild conditions, and wide substrate applicability. This is the first attempt to synthesize methylquinoline derivatives of 4H-1-benzopyran.     

Sulfamic Acid: Efficient,Cost-Effective Catalyst for Facile Synthesis of Deazaoxaflavin at Ambient Temperature

A facile, ecofriendly procedure has been developed for the synthesis of substituted 5-deaza-10-oxaflavins by sulfamic acid–catalyzed two-component condensation of salicylaldehyde and barbituric acid at ambient temperature. Mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, ambient temperature, ecofriendly solvent system, wide substrate scope, simple workup procedure, no need for chromatographic separation, and good yields are auxiliary advantages of the present protocol.     

Chiral polymers containing a carbohydrate moiety: synthesis

This paper reports the preparation of poly(acetal-ethers) by two alternative synthetic pathways (alkaline and acid-catalyzed conditions). Polycondensations of methyl 2,3:4,6-di-O-salicylidene-alpha-D-mannopyranoside (3) (mixtures of endo-H and exo-H dioxolan-2-yl-diastereomers) with 1,4-dibromobutane (4) (method I a and I b) were performed in solvents (DMF, butyl acetate/DMF, DMSO) and were catalyzed by K2CO3/KI or KOH. A similar polymer (6) was formed by the reaction of methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside (1) and 1,4-bis(2-formylphenoxy)butane (7), catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid (method II). Regardless of conversion or initial comonomer feed ratios, the composition of the polycondensates depended on the reaction conditions, leading to the formation of macrocyclic [1 + 1] (5) and [2 + 2] compounds, which were macromolecules with diverse molecular weights and optical properties. The regioselective polycondensation was examined by 1H NMR spectroscopy of selected polymers. In the case of 5-membered cyclic acetal units, mixtures of the endo-H and exo-H dioxolan-2-yl system, diastereomers were formed in the polymer chain. The macrocycles and linear oligomers were identified by NMR and electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Thermodynamically controlled reactions for making macrocycles as well as oligomers in the absence of templates are also discussed.     

Synthesis of novel 3-phenyl-2-oxido/sulfido-1,3,4,2-benzoxadiazaphosphepines

An efficient and facile synthetic approach towards a series of novel 3-phenyl-2-oxido/sulfido-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4,2-benzoxadiazaphosphepines 2–7 was described. The method depended on the cyclocondensation of equimolar ratios of salicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone (1) with different examples of phosphorus halides and phosphorus sulfides in toluene containing triethylamine as a catalyst. In the same manner, the fusion of salicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone (1) with triethyl phosphate in the presence of DBU afforded the 2-ethoxy-1,3,4,2-benzoxa-diazaphosphepine 8, while a fusion of compound 1 with diethyl phosphite and tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphite led to the formation of new examples of 1,2-benzoxaphospholes 9 and 10, respectively. Interestingly, the reaction of compound 1 with diethyl ethoxycarbonyl phosphonate in ethanol containing DBU as a catalyst furnished the chromeno[3,4-d][1,2,3]diazaphosphole derivative 12 as a regioselective product.

Fluorescence Characteristics of Schiff Bases Derived from Amino- and Aminoalkylpyridines

The fluorescence characteristics of the Schiff bases 2-(3-pyridylmethyliminornethyl)phenol (1), 2-(2 pyridyliminomethyl)phenol (2), N.N-bis(salicylidene)-2,3-pyridinediamine (3), N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-2,6-pyridinediamine (4) and 2-(2-amino-4-methoxymethyl-6-methyl-3-pyridylmethyliminomethyl)phenol (5) were studied in various solvents at different pH values. Corresponding quantum efficiencies were determined. Compound 1, which showed a tendency towards tautomeric mterconversion to ketoamine in polar protic solvents, was not fluorescent at pH < 8. The fluorescence of other compounds was very sensitive to solvent polarity and the pH of the medium. Compounds 2-4, preferably present as enolimines in all solvents, were not fluorescent in non-polar and moderately polar solvents, whereas weak emission was observed in polar solvents, like methanol, dimethylformamide and dioxane/water 1/1 (0.001 < Q < 0.072). A significant increase in Stokes shifts and in quantum efficiencies was noted as a result of increasing polarity of dioxane/water mixtures, indicating specific interactions with polar water molecules. The emission was promoted at acidic pH values where a pyridinium cation was formed (0.061 < Q < 0.519, in dioxane/water 1/1 at pH 3.4). Compound 5, which was a tautomeric mixture of enoiimine and cyclic diamine in all solvents, was fluorescent in polar as well as in non-polar media. The quantum efficiency varied dependent on the solvent and pH (0.023 <Q< 0.435). The cyclic diamine, i. e. the more rigid structure was supposed to be responsible for the fluorescence in non-polar and aprotic solvents as well as at neutral, and weakly basic pH values.
