Development of a magnetic solid‐phase extraction coupled with high‐performance liquid chromatography method for the analysis of polyaromatic hydrocarbons

A novel magnetic solid phase extraction coupled with high‐performance liquid chromatography method was established to analyze polyaromatic hydrocarbons in environmental water samples. The extraction conditions, including the amount of extraction agent, extraction time, pH and the surface structure of the magnetic extraction agent, were optimized. The results showed that the amount of extraction agent and extraction time significantly influenced the extraction performance. The increase in the specific surface area, the enlargement of pore size, and the reduction of particle size could enhance the extraction performance of the magnetic microsphere. The optimized magnetic extraction agent possessed a high surface area of 1311 m²/g, a large pore size of 6–9 nm, and a small particle size of 6–9 μm. The limit of detection for phenanthrene and benzo[g,h,i]perylene in the developed analysis method was 3.2 and 10.5 ng/L, respectively. When applied to river water samples, the spiked recovery of phenanthrene and benzo[g,h,i]perylene ranged from 89.5–98.6% and 82.9–89.1%, respectively. Phenanthrene was detected over a concentration range of 89–117 ng/L in three water samples withdrawn from the midstream of the Huai River, and benzo[g,h,i]perylene was below the detection limit.     

Amidyl Radical Directed γ-C(sp3)−H Functionalization with Silyl Enol Ethers via Photoredox Catalysis

Herein we reported an efficient photoredox-catalyzed reaction for site-selective C(sp³)−H functionalization of carboxamides with silyl enol ethers as radical acceptors. The reaction proceeded through amidyl radical-directed 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT) and C(sp³)−C(sp³) bond formation via radical addition of silyl enol ethers. The process features mild conditions and high functional-group tolerance, allowing the preparation of a series of carboxamides with pendant carbonyl moieties.     

Efficient domino strategy for synthesis of 3-substituted 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one derivatives

A series of 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one derivatives with 3-(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl) groups were synthesized via a one-pot three-component reaction of 4-aminopyridin-2(1H)-ones, 2,2-dihydroxy-1-arylethan-1-ones, and 4-hydroxy-2H-pyran-2-ones in water. This strategy not only provides a valuable tool in the design and synthesis of new hydrogenated pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridines but also has the advantages of inexpensive starting materials, atom and step economy, environmental friendliness, good to excellent yields, and operational simplicity. A total of 14 examples were examined to show a broad substrate scope and high yields.

A convenient and regioselective sulfonylation/cyclization of 1,6-enynes with arylazo sulfones has been developed to access a series of sulfonylated γ-butyrolactams.The present reaction could be efficiently conducted under catalyst-and additive-free conditions,in which C-S and C-C bonds were selectively constructed in one-pot procedure.     

Synthesis of mesoporous zeolite single crystals with cheap porogens

Mesoporous zeolite (silicalite-1, ZSM-5, TS-1) single crystals have been successfully synthesized by adding soluble starch or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to a conventional zeolite synthesis system. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen sorption analysis, ²⁷Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (²⁷Al MAS NMR), temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH₃-TPD) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). The SEM images clearly show that all zeolite crystals possess the similar morphology with particle size of about 300 nm, the TEM images reveal that irregular intracrystal pores are randomly distributed in the whole crystal. ²⁷Al MAS NMR spectra indicate that nearly all of the Al atoms are in tetrahedral co-ordination in ZSM-5, UV-vis spectra confirm that nearly all of titanium atoms are incorporated into the framework of TS-1. The catalytic activity of meso-ZSM-5 in acetalization of cyclohexanone and meso-TS-1 in hydroxylation of phenol was also studied. The synthesis method reported in this paper is cost-effective and environmental friendly, can be easily expended to prepare other hierarchical structured zeolites.
