Indirect Determination of Ascorbic Acid with Ammonium Sulfate and Ethanol by Extraction and Flotation of Copper

A new method of indirect determination of ascorbic acid with ammonium sulfate and ethanol by extraction and flotation of copper in the presence of thiocyanate has been studied in this paper. The study shows that a small amount of Cu(II) is reduced to Cu(I) by ascorbic acid, then Cu(I) precipitates with SCN^?. In the course of phase separation of ethanol from water, the precipitated CuSCN is extracted and stays in the interface of ethanol and water. A good linear relationship is observed between the extraction yield of Cu(II) and the amount of ascorbic acid. The detection limit for ascorbic acid is 1 10^?5 M. Every parameter has been optimized and the reaction mechanism has been studied. The method is simple, rapid (5 min) and suffers from few interferences of common anions and cations. It has been successfully applied for the determination of ascorbic acid in pharmaceuticals and fruits.     

Far infrared spectra, conformational equilibria, vibrational assignments, ab initio calculations and structural parameters for 2-bromoethanol

The far infrared spectrum from 370 to 50 cm⁻¹ of gaseous 2-bromoethanol, BrCH₂CH₂OH, was recorded at a resolution of 0.10 cm⁻¹. The fundamental O–H torsion of the more stable gauche (Gg′) conformer, where the capital G refers to internal rotation around the C–C bond and the lower case g to the internal rotation around the C–O bond, was observed as a series of Q-branch transitions beginning at 340 cm⁻¹. The corresponding O–H torsional modes were observed for two of the other high energy conformers, Tg (285 cm⁻¹) and Tt (234 cm⁻¹). The heavy atom asymmetric torsion (rotation around C–C bond) for the Gg′ conformer has been observed at 140 cm⁻¹. Variable temperature (−63 to −100°C) studies of the infrared spectra (4000–400 cm⁻¹) of the sample dissolved in liquid xenon have been recorded. From these data the enthalpy differences have been determined to be 411±40 cm⁻¹ (4.92±0.48 kJ/mol) for the Gg′/Tt and 315±40 cm⁻¹ (3.76±0.48 kJ/mol) for the Gg′/Tg, with the Gg′ conformer the most stable form. Additionally, the infrared spectrum of the gas, and Raman spectrum of the liquid phase are reported. The structural parameters, conformational stabilities, barriers to internal rotation and fundamental frequencies have been obtained from ab initio calculations utilizing different basis sets at the restricted Hartree–Fock or with full electron correlation by the perturbation method to second order. The theoretical results are compared to the experimental results when appropriate. Combining the ab initio calculations with the microwave rotational constants, r₀ adjusted parameters have been obtained for the three 2-haloethanols (F, Cl and Br) for the Gg′ conformers.     

Synthesis of an amphiphilic styrenic block copolymer: Polycondensation of dichloromethane and low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) in the presence of hydroxypropylated polystyrene‐block‐polybutadiene

An amphiphilic styrenic block copolymer, polystyrene‐block‐polybutadiene‐block‐poly[oxymethylene‐alt‐oligo(oxyethylene)] (PS‐b‐PB‐b‐POME), was synthesized through a polycondensation reaction of low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) and dichloromethane in the presence of hydroxypropylated polystyrene‐block‐polybutadiene (PS‐b‐PB‐OH) used as a monofunctional chain‐capping reagent. PS‐b‐PB‐OH was in turn prepared via an anionic synthesis of PS‐b‐PB followed by oxetane capping and methanol quenching. Although PS‐b‐PB‐OH has insignificant hydrophilicity, PS‐b‐PB‐b‐POME containing both the hydrophobic PS‐b‐PB segment and the hydrophilic POME segment had an improved emulsifying capability and effectively decreased the interfacial tension between water and toluene. The hydrophile–lipophile balance value of this amphiphilic PS‐b‐PB‐b‐POME copolymer, consisting of 86 wt % of the POME segment and 14 wt % of the PS‐b‐PB segment, was 17.2. The molecular weight of the copolymer molecule was determined by gel permeation chromatography–multi‐angle laser light scattering, and the microstructure was analyzed using ¹H NMR. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A SOLUBLE LADDERLIKE POLYSILSESQUIOXANE CONTAINING REACTIVE ESTER GROUPS*

A novel soluble ladderlike polysilsesquioxane containing reactive ester groups (Ester-T) was synthesized for thefirst time by stepwise coupling polymerization including preammonolysis, controlled hydrolysis and polycondensation. Themonomer, 3-trichlorosilylpropoxy 4-acetoxybenzoate (M), was synthesized by hydrosilylation of allyloxy 4-acetoxybenzoatewith trichlorosilane in the presence of dicyclopentadienylplatinum (II) chloride (Cp_2PtCl_2) catalyst. Combination of FTIR,~1H-NMr, ~(13)C-NMR, ~(29)Si-NMR, XRD, DSC, TGA and VPO methods was used to demonstrate that the polymer obtained hasan ordered ladderlike structure. The synthesized Ester-T may have promising applications as a precursor of advanced functional polymers.
