Ionization and Dissociation of Benzene and Aniline under Deep Ultraviolet Laser Irradiation

We report a study on photo-ionization of benzene and aniline with incidental subsequent dissociation by the customized reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer utilizing a deep ultraviolet 177.3 nm laser. Highly efficient ionization of benzene is observed with a weak C\begin{document}$ _4 $\end{document}H\begin{document}$ _3 $\end{document}\begin{document}$ ^+ $\end{document} fragment formed by undergoing disproportional C\begin{document}$ - $\end{document}C bond dissociation. In comparison, a major C\begin{document}$ _5 $\end{document}H\begin{document}$ _6 $\end{document}\begin{document}$ ^{+\cdot} $\end{document} fragment and a minor C\begin{document}$ _6 $\end{document}H\begin{document}$ _6 $\end{document}\begin{document}$ ^{+\cdot} $\end{document} radical are produced in the ionization of aniline pertaining to the removal of CNH\begin{document}$ ^\cdot $\end{document} and NH\begin{document}$ ^\cdot $\end{document} radicals, respectively. First-principles calculation is employed to reveal the photo-dissociation pathways of these two molecules having a structural difference of just an amino group. It is demonstrated that hydrogen atom transfer plays an important role in the cleavage of C\begin{document}$ - $\end{document}C or C\begin{document}$ - $\end{document}N bonds in benzene and aniline ions. This study is helpful to understand the underlying mechanisms of chemical bond fracture of benzene ring and related aromatic molecules.     

Synthesis and characterization of some new aromatic diamine monomers from oxidative coupling of anilines and substituted aniline with 4-amino-N,N-dimethyl aniline

New aromatic diamine monomers prepared from condensation reactions of aniline, p-chloroaniline, p-nitro aniline, p-chloro-m-nitro aniline with 4-amino-N,N-dimethylaniline (2:1) (aniline:reagent) in the presence of potassium dichromate in acidic media yielded new monomers of a highly colored violet and reddish-violet. Mechanism of the reaction of aniline with 4-amino-N,N-dimethylaniline in the presence of potassium dichromate as an oxidant is expected to proceed through nucleophilic substitution reaction, and the mechanism proceeds facilitated a nucleophilic attack of the substituted aniline ring on the –NH₂ group of the reagent; through partial protonation of their –NH₂ group, forming in diamine dye and their identification was confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, and CHN analyses.     

Microwave promoted solvent-free one-pot three-component reaction to 2-pentafluorophenylquinoline derivatives

A novel and efficient one-pot multi-component reaction of pentafluorobenzaldehyde, alkynes and anilines for the synthesis of 2-pentafluorophenyl substituted quinolines under microwave irradiation and a solvent-free condition is presented.     

Millimeter wave measurement and assignment of the rotational spectrum of aniline

Previous work involving the rotational spectrum of aniline was limited to the lower frequencies of 8-40 GHz with very few lines being assigned. This work extends the earlier studies. Here we present a much more extensive measurement and assignment of the rotational spectrum of aniline in the frequency range of 75-110 GHz. The observed frequencies have been assigned to the ground (0⁺), first (0⁻), and second excited (1⁺) states in the inversion vibration. With the newly assigned lines, significantly improved rotational constants and all five centrifugal distortion constants have been obtained.     

Interaction of aniline and benzidine with layered solids M n+(UO2XO4) n − ·z H2O[M = H3O+, Cu2+, VO2+, Fe2+; X = P,As]

The layered acid solids of formula H₃OUO₂XO₄· 3 H₂O (X = As, P) intercalate aniline and benzidine arylamines, by protonation of the guest molecules. The intercalates maintain the original laminar structure.The insertion of aniline and benzidinein the metal derivativesM(UO₂XO₄)₂·n H₂O (M = Cu, VO, Fe) requires rather drastic conditions. Near and medium infrared spectra of intercalates in which M = VO²⁺ and Cu²⁺, indicate that the polymerization and/or oxidation of sorbed amines occurs; however, the guest-host reactions for Fe²⁺-derivatives are of the acid-base type.

电聚合苯胺过程的在线紫外-可见光谱

用在线紫外-可见光谱电化学的方法对0.5mol/L硫酸水溶液中苯胺在ITO导电玻璃电极上的电化学聚的过程进行了研究.结果表明在循环伏安条件下苯胺发生了电聚合,聚合速率与苯胺浓度成正关系;而且在线紫外-可见电化学光谱表明,在0.01mol/L苯胺溶液的电聚合过程的诱导期较长.恒电位条件下的在线紫外-可见电化学光谱显示苯胺浓度为0.05mol/L,电位为0.8V时,在ITO电极上苯胺低聚合物中间体可能产生于聚苯胺形成之前;而0.01mol/L苯胺在0.8V电位下不发生聚合,但在线紫外-可见光谱又显示此时在电极上可能存在小的苯胺低聚物的中间体;在线紫外-可见光谱表明这种中间体是可能产生并存在电极表面上的.

Identification and characterization of isomeric N-glycans of human alfa-acid-glycoprotein by stable isotope labelling and ZIC-HILIC-MS in combination with exoglycosidase digestion

In this study, a ZIC-HILIC-MS methodology for the analysis of N-glycan isomers was optimized to obtain greater detection sensitivity and thus identify more glycan structures in hAGP. In a second step, this method was combined with glycan reductive isotope labelling (GRIL) through [¹²C₆]/[¹³C₆]-aniline and exoglycosidase digestion to characterize the different glycan isomers. The GRIL method allows the peak areas resulting from two different labelled samples to be compared, since neither retention time shifts nor variations in the ionization of glycans between these samples are obtained. First, sialic acid linkage assignations were performed for most hAGP glycan isomers with α2-3 sialidase digestion. Bi-, tri- and tetraantennary glycan isomers with different terminal sialic acid linkages to galactose (α2-3 or α2-6) were assigned, and the potential of this technique for the structural characterization of isobaric isomers was therefore demonstrated. Furthermore, fucose linkage isomers of hAGP glycans were also characterized using this isotope-labelling approach in combination with α1-3,4 fucosidase and β1-4 galactosidase digestion. α1-3 antennary fucoses and α1-6 core fucosylation were detected in hAGP fucosylated glycans. These established methodologies can be extremely useful for patho-glycomic studies to characterize glycoproteins of biomedical interest and find novel glycan isomers that could be used as biomarkers in cancer research.
