Mechanistic organic chemistry in a microreactor. Zeolite-controlled photooxidations of organic sulfides

The intrazeolite and solution photooxygenations of a series of sulfides have been compared. The unusual zeolite environment enhances the rates of reaction, it suppresses the Pummerer rearrangements, and it has a dramatic effect on the sulfoxide/sulfone ratio. A detailed kinetic study utilizing trapping experiments and intramolecular competition provides evidence for cation complexation to a persulfoxide intermediate as the underlying phenomenon for the unique intrazeolite behavior. For example, the enhanced rate of reaction is traced to the cation stabilization of the persulfoxide toward unproductive decomposition to substrate and triplet oxygen.

Chromatographic separation of marine organic pollutants.

A review and discussion of the chromatographic separation of marine organic pollutants is given, including sampling and clean-up procedures, fractionation and enrichment of marine pollutants, capillary gas chromatography (cGC) and high-performance liquid chromatography applying both classical and chiral stationary phases. The potential of multi-dimensional cGC for the analysis of marine organic trace pollutants is discussed for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The chromatographic separation of coplanar PCBs and of the enantiomers of chiral pollutants provides a further insight into the toxic potential of these marine organic pollutants.

Molecular mechanics of organic halides. III. Fluorinated olefins

A molecular mechanical force field for fluorinated ethylenes and propylenes is described. The field computes geometries, dipole moments, and energy differences between isomers and rotamers. Component analysis indicates that “classical” strains alone (skeletal, nonbonded, electrostatic) cannot account for energy relationships. The discussion is supplemented by a semiempirical quantum chemical comparison of cis- and trans-FCH?CHF and of gauche- and anti-FCH₂CH₂F.     

The pyrolytic identification of organic molecules: I. The pyrolytic behavior of organic molecules

Results of a study on the pyrolysis of about 70 organic compounds of varied composition are presented and discussed. Identification of the volatile products formed was accomplished by mass spectrometry. It is shown how the pyrolytic patterns may be employed to distinguish one molecule from another. Some attention has been given to isomeric compounds and to aromatic structures containing one or more functional groups.     

Computerized technique in organic microelemental analysis III. Automatic determination of fluorine in organic compounds

The automatic and computerized rapid microanalytical determination of fluorine in organic and organometallic compounds is an easily reproducible procedure. The procedure consists of the combustion of the compound in an empty tube; transfer of the combustion products to the titration vessel by automatic wash; and, finally, colorostatic titration of HF with Th(ClO₄), against alizarin red S.The entire analysis and preparation of the equipment for the next determination are programmed in the time of the 6-min cycle.The analyzer is interfaced to the departmental real-time time-sharing computer, along with electronic microbalances and other analyzers, as a part of the microanalytical laboratory computer service.Results of the analyses are reported on CR terminals and are also stored on the magnetic disk for further processing.     

Computational methods in organic thermochemistry. 2. Enthalpies and free energies of formation for functional derivatives of organic hydrocarbons

Standard state enthalpies and free energies of formation for nitrogen-, oxygen-, sulfur-, fluorine-, chlorine-, and silicon-containing compounds can be computed with reasonable accuracy (usually within four and often two kJ/mol) using the G3 and G3MP2 model chemistries. In several of the families, compounds with as many as 10 carbon atoms have been computed. Larger errors are found in the free energies of these longer chain molecules which can be reduced by compensating for the presence of multiple conformers having a significant population at 298.15 K. In some instances, those substances showing large deviations are found to have experimental energies that may be erroneous.

Determination of trace anions in organic solvents.

Ion chromatography along with matrix elimination was used to reliably determine trace levels of anionic contaminants in organic solvents. A 5-ml sample volume was injected directly into the instrument without any sample pretreatment. High-purity deionized water was used to deliver the sample to a preconcentration column, where the anions of interest were retained while the organic matrix was rinsed to waste. A sodium carbonate eluent eluted concentrated anions from the preconcentration column and separated them on a 2-mm pellicular anion-exchange column. The separated anions were detected by suppressed conductivity. This method was used to determine the anionic contaminants of isopropanol, acetone and N-methylpyrrolidone. Method detection limits for chloride, nitrate, sulfate and phosphate were all lower than 1 microg/l.     

Trapping system for trace organic volatiles.

A technique is described for the collection and concentration of volatile compounds produced by plants, insects, animals and other materials. The method is a modification of the continuous-flow system based on absorption of volatiles in a low amount of solvent at low temperature. The advantages and disadvantages of the technique used are described in detail.

Prediction of nonlinear optical responses of organic compounds.

The nonlinear optical quantities, second and third harmonics (beta and gamma), were predicted using a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) approach. Molecular orbital ab initio calculations were applied to generate easily accessible variables to be used in the partial least-squares analysis. Simplified equations are presented that could be used to predict the experimental beta and gamma responses, prior to further investigations of potentially interesting molecules for use in optical materials.
