Experimental and computational investigation of the thermochemistry of the six isomers of dichloroaniline

The standard (p(o) = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation of 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- and 3,5-dichloroanilines were derived from the standard molar energies of combustion, in oxygen, to yield CO(2)(g), N(2)(g) and HCl.600H(2)O(l), at T = 298.15 K, measured by rotating bomb combustion calorimetry. The Calvet high-temperature vacuum sublimation technique was used to measure the enthalpies of sublimation of the six isomers. These two thermodynamic parameters yielded the standard molar enthalpies of formation of the six isomers of dichloroaniline, in the gaseous phase, at T = 298.15 K. The gas-phase enthalpies of formation were also estimated by G3MP2B3 calculations, which were further extended to the computation of gas-phase acidities, proton affinities, and ionization enthalpies.     

Determination of vapor pressures and enthalpies of vaporization of 1,2-alkanediols

Molar enthalpies of vaporization of 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, and 1,2-octanediol were obtained from the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure measured by the transpiration method. The measured data sets were successfully checked for internal consistency. A large number of the primary experimental results on temperature dependences of vapor pressures have been collected from the literature and have been treated uniform in order to derive vaporization enthalpies at the reference temperature 298.15 K. This collection together with the experimental results reported here has helped to resolve some contradictions which have been met in the available literature.     

Standard molar enthalpies of combustion of five trans -dimethoxycinnamic acids

The standard (p^o =  0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation for 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 3,4- and 3,5- trans -dimethoxycinnamic acids, in the gaseous phase, were derived from the standard molar enthalpies of combustion in oxygen, of the crystalline compounds, determined by static bomb combustion calorimetry at T =  298.15 K and from the literature values for the respective enthalpies of sublimation.     

Standard molar enthalpies and entropies of vaporization for twolow-melting trichlorophenoxy herbicides

The standard sublimation enthalpies of (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)acetonitrile and (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)aniline were determined by isothermal thermogravimetry using the Langmuir equation and by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry for comparison. The used procedure was previously tested using three reference compounds: benzoic acid, succinic acid and salicylic acid. The results compared to those reported in literature show an excellent agreement for two of the three compounds while the third agrees quite well. For (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)acetonitrile and (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)aniline, the extrapolation of data at 298.15 K were obtained, respectively: Δ_subH°(298 K)={(106±4) and (101±4)} kJ mol^–1. From Clausius Clapeyron equation obtained after the determination of the vaporization constant α′, the following standard sublimation entropies for (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)acetonitrile and (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)aniline equal to Δ_subS°(298 K)=(251 and 237) J K^–1 mol^–1, respectively, were derived, with an error of ±4 J K^–1 mol^–1 equal for the studied herbicides.     

Acid—base equilibria in the mixed solvent 80% dimethyl sulfoxide—20% water : Determination of pK Values and Investigation of the Conditions for Titration of some Aromatic Carboxylic Acids and their Conjugated Bases

The acid—base properties of some aromatic carboxylic acids of zero charge type HA have been investigated in the mixed solvent, 80% DMSO—20% water, by means of potentiometric measurements with a glass electrode. The pK_a values of the following aromatic carboxylic acids have been determined: benzoic, o-chlorobenzoic,p-chlorobenzoic, m-bromobenzoic, 2,4-dichlorobenzoic, 2,5-dichlorobenzoic, 2,6-dichlorobenzoic, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic,p-methylbenzoic, m-aminobenzoic, o-hydroxybenzoic 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic, o-methoxybenzoic, 2,3-dimethoxybenzoic, 5-amino-2-hydroxybenzoic, pyridine-2-carboxylic, thiophene-2-carboxylic, 1-naphthylacetic, diphenylglycolic. The mixed solvent investigated offers better titration conditions for the determination of these acids than water and some other non-aqueous solvents.     

Di-hydroxybenzenes: Catechol, resorcinol, and hydroquinone: Enthalpies of phase transitions revisited

Molar enthalpies of sublimation of 1,2-di-hydroxybenzene, 1,3-di-hydroxybenzene, and 1,4-di-hydroxybenzene were obtained from the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure measured by the transpiration method. The molar enthalpies of fusion of 1,2- and 1,4-isomers were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A large number of the primary experimental results on the temperature dependences of vapor pressure and phase transitions have been collected from the literature and have been treated in a uniform manner in order to derive sublimation, vaporization and fusion enthalpies of di-hydroxybenzenes at the reference temperature 298.15 K. The data sets on phase transitions were checked for internal consistency. This collection together with the new experimental results reported here has helped to resolve contradictions in the available thermochemical data and to recommend consistent and reliable sublimation, vaporization and fusion enthalpies for all three isomers under study.     

Micro conduction calorimeters to measure enthalpies of vaporization

Details of the construction of micro-conduction calorimeters for measuring enthalpies of vaporization (or sublimation) are described. Accuracy and precision of the calorimeters were tested by the use of a few standard reference compounds. Experimental results showed that the enthalpies of vaporization could be measured for compounds of vapor pressures of 10 Pa to 10 kPa at 298 K with uncertainty less than 0.2 per cent. Results of enthalpy of vaporization measurements for some compounds are also given. Since calorimetric cells of these calorimeters were composed of glass and PTFE, the calorimeters made it possible to measure the enthalpies of vaporization for metal corrosive compounds.     

Thermochemistry of aromatic ketones. Experimental enthalpies of formation and structural effects

The standard enthalpies of formation Δ_fH^o (liq. or cr.) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were measured using combustion calorimetry for benzophenone (A), 1-indanone (B), -tetralone (C), 9-fluorenone (D), anthrone (E) and dibenzosuberone (F). The standard enthalpies of vaporization Δ_vH^o or sublimation Δ_sH^o of A-F and 5,7-dihydro-6H-dibenzo[a,c]cyclohepten-6-one (G) were obtained from the temperature function of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. Enthalpies of fusion Δ_mH of solid compounds were measured by DSC. From the enthalpies of formation of the gaseous compounds of A-G the values of their strain enthalpies were derived and structural effects discussed.

     

Cubane, cuneane, and their carboxylates: a calorimetric, crystallographic, calculational, and conceptual coinvestigation

[reaction: see text] This study is a multinational, multidisciplinary contribution to the thermochemistry of dimethyl1,4-cubanedicarboxylate and the corresponding isomeric, cuneane derivative and provides both structural and thermochemical information regarding the rearrangement of dimethyl 1,4-cubanedicarboxylate to dimethyl 2,6-cuneanedicarboxylate. The enthalpies of formation in the condensed phase at T = 298.15 K of dimethyl 1,4-cubanedicarboxylate (dimethyl pentacyclo[4.2.0.0.(2,5)0.(3,8)0(4,7)]octane-1,4-dicarboxylate) and dimethyl 2,6-cuneanedicarboxylate (dimethyl pentacyclo[3.3.0.0.(2,4)0.(3,7)0(6,8)]octane-2,6-dicarboxylate) have been determined by combustion calorimetry, delta(f) H(o)m (cr)/kJ x mol(-1) = -232.62 +/- 5.84 and -413.02 +/- 5.16, respectively. The enthalpies of sublimation have been evaluated by combining vaporization enthalpies evaluated by correlation-gas chromatography and fusion enthalpies measured by differential scanning calorimetry and adjusted to T = 298.15 K, delta(cr) (g)Hm (298.15 K)/kJ x mol(-1) = 117.2 +/- 3.9 and 106.8 +/- 3.0, respectively. Combination of these two enthalpies resulted in delta(f) H(o)m (g., 298.15 K)/kJ x mol(-1) of -115.4 +/- 7.0 for dimethyl 1,4-cubanedicarboxylate and -306.2 +/- 6.0 for dimethyl 2,6-cuneanedicarboxylate. These measurements, accompanied by quantum chemical calculations, resulted in values of delta(f) Hm (g, 298.15 K) = 613.0 +/- 9.5 kJ x mol(-1) for cubane and 436.4 +/- 8.8 kJ x mol(-1) for cuneane. From these enthalpies of formation, strain enthalpies of 681.0 +/- 9.8 and 504.4 +/- 9.1 kJ x mol(-1) were calculated for cubane and cuneane by means of isodesmic reactions, respectively. Crystals of dimethyl 2,6-cuneanedicarboxylate are disordered; the substitution pattern and structure have been confirmed by determination of the X-ray crystal structure of the corresponding diacid.     

An experimental system for measurement of enthalpies of sublimation by d.s.c.

The sensor and control devices of a d.s.c.-7 Perkin Elmer differential scanning calorimeter have been incorporated into a system for measurement of enthalpies of sublimation. The system was tested with four sublimation reference substances: naphthalene, iodine, benzoic acid and ferrocene between the temperatures 298.15 K and 333.15 K and at constant pressure giving the following results:The precision was greater than 1.9 per cent except for iodine for which some experimental difficulties increased the uncertainty. This system will find future application in the determination of the enthalpy of sublimation of the organic compounds that are being studied in the laboratory.

A DSC compositional analysis of some binary organic mixtures of pharmaceutical significance

A DSC compositional analysis of 3 model binary systems of pharmaceutical significance has been conducted. Mixtures of known selected composition for each of the systems 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid/benzoic acid, paracetamol/4-aminobenzoic acid and acetylsalicylic/salicylic acid were prepared and analyzed by DSC. The respective compositions derived from applications of the van't Hoff equation were correlated with the corresponding theoretical values and with the corresponding fusion temperatures and fusion enthalpies, obtained from the relevant DSC profiles. Linear correlations were found to exist between the theoretical compositions, fusion temperatures and fusion enthalpies for each of these systems and it is apparent that with suitable calibration procedures, the DSC compositional analysis method can be applied to determine the purity at the 90–95 mole% level. This level is of considerable interest in drug stability studies and has real significance in purity assays of commercial pharmaceutical preparations.     

Saturated vapor pressures and the enthalpies of vaporization of dicyclohexyl esters of dicarboxylic acids

Saturated vapor pressures at 320–370 K and the enthalpies of vaporization of dicyclohexyl esters of linear dicarboxylic acids containing two to six carbon atoms were determined by the transpiration method. Linear correlations of the enthalpies of vaporization of the esters with the number of carbon atoms in molecules and Kováts retention indices were obtained.     

The enthalpies of formation of two dibenzocyclooctadienones

The standard molar enthalpies of formation (Δ_fH_m⁰(s)/kJmol⁻¹) for 2,3:6,7-dibenzocycloocta-2,6-dien-1-one and 2,3:7,8-dibenzocycloocta-2,7-dien-1-one [6H-11,12-dihydro-dibenzo[a,e]cycloocten-5-one (ketone 1) and 10H-11,12-dihydrodibenzo[a,d]-cycloocten-5-one (ketone 2), respectively] were derived from enthalpies of combustion, measured by means of a microbomb calorimeter. The fusion and vaporization enthalpies of these compounds were obtained from DSC and correlation gas chromatography measurements. The standard molar enthalpies of formation in the gas phase were calculated by combining the condensed phase standard molar enthalpies of formation with the fusion and vaporization enthalpies adjusted to 298.15 K. Values for Δ_fH_m⁰(g) of (−39.9±5.5) and (−14.8±5.3) kJ mol⁻¹ were obtained for 2,3:6,7-dibenzocycloocta-2,6-dien-1-one and 2,3:7,8-dibenzocycloocta-2,7-dien-1-one, respectively. Quantum chemical calculations are reported for the compounds investigated experimentally and an additional four isomers. Isomerization enthalpies are derived from computed energies. The enthalpies of formation are also calculated by group additivity, compared with the experimental values and then correlated with the structure of the molecules investigated. The X-ray analysis of ketone 1 is also reported.

Potentiometric and spectroscopic studies on aluminium(III) complexes of some catechol derivatives

The interactions of aluminium(III) ion with the triprotic catechol derivatives (H3L), 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (3,4-DHPA), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA), and 3,4-dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid (3,4-DHHCA) were investigated in aqueous solution at 25.0 degrees C. The Calvin-Bjerrum titration method was adopted for the determination of formation constants of proton-ligand and aluminium(III)-ligand complexes. Potentiometric and spectroscopic results indicated that these catechol derivatives exhibit a true bidentate character. The chelation occurs via their catecholate sites, with the exception of 2,3-DHBA. In the case of 2,3-DHBA complexes, the dominant species are either the salicylate type (COO-, O-) or catecholate type (O-, O-) complex. The protonation constants of ligands and their formation constants of Al(III) complexes were also correlated. The order of decreasing stabilities of complexes is: 3,4-DHPA>3,4-DHBA>3,4-DHHCA>2,3-DHBA.

Metabolism of 2,4-dinitrotoluene and 2,6-dinitrotoluene, and their dinitrobenzyl alcohols and dinitrobenzaldehydes by Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rat liver microsomal and cytosol fractions

The metabolism of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,4-dinitrobenzyl alcohol (2,4-DNB), 2,4-dinitrobenzaldehyde (2,4-DNBAl), 2,6-DNT, 2,6-DNB and 2,6-DNBAl in the microsomal and cytosol fractions prepared from unfortified male Wistar and male Sprague-Dawley (S.D.) rat livers was investigated. Data obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) indicated that the products of dinitrotoluenes (2,4-DNT and 2,6-DNT), dinitrobenzyl alcohols (2,4-DNB and 2,6-DNB), and dinitrobenzaldehydes (2,4-DNBAl and 2,6-DNBAl) in the microsomal and cytosol preparations containing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAD(P] and reduced NAD(P)(NAD(P)H) were dinitrobenzyl alcohols (2,4-DNB and 2,6-DNB), dinitrobenzaldehydes (2,4-DNBAl and 2,6-DNBAl), and dinitrobenzoic acids (2,4-DNBA and 2,6-DNBA), and dinitrobenzyl alcohols (2,4-DNB and 2,6-DNB), respectively. From these results, it was concluded that the dinitrobenzaldehydes (2,4-DNBAl and 2,6-DNBAl) were intermediates in the oxidations of dinitrobenzyl alchols (2,4-DNB and 2,6-DNB) to dinitrobenzoic acids (2,4-DNBA and 2,6-DNBA), and that the oxidations of dinitrobenzyl alcohols (2,4-DNB and 2,6-DNB) to dinitrobenzaldehydes (2,4-DNBAl and 2,6-DNBAl) and the reductions of dinitrobenzaldehydes to dinitrobenzyl alcohols (2,4-DNB and 2,6-DNB) were reversible.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

GC-MS quantitation of benzoic and aralkyl carboxylic acids as their trimethylsilyl derivatives: In model solution I

Summary This paper describes the fragmentation patterns and the GC-MS quantitation possibilities of the trimethylsilyl derivatives of thirty-one aromatic carboxylic acids, using ion trap detection (ITD). Sixteen aralkyl carboxylic acids, including those containing a saturated aliphatic side chain {phenylacetic, 2-phenylbutyric, phenylglycolic (mandelic acid), β-phenyllactic, 3-hydroxyphenylacetic, β-phenylpyruvic and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionic acids} and those with an unsaturated aliphatic side chain {cinnamic, 2-hydroxycinnamic (o-coumaric), 4-methoxycinnamic, 3-hydroxycinnamic (m-coumaric), 4-hydroxycinnamic (p-coumaric), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic (ferulic acid), 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic (caffeic), and 4-dihydroxy-3,5-dimethoxycinnamic (sinapic) acids}, as well as, the fifteen hydroxy(methoxy) benzoic acids {benzoic, 2-hydroxybenzoic (salicylic), 3-hydroxybenzoic, 4-hydroxybenzoic, 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic, 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic (veratric), 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic (γ-resorcylic), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic (vanillic), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic (gentisic), 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic (β-resorcylic), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic (protocatechuic), 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic (α-resorcylic), 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic (asaronic), 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic (syringic) and 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic (gallic) acids}, provided distinct fragmentation characteristics that were very useful for their identification and simultaneously quantitation. Based on 1–20 ng amounts of acids, very informative ions of high mass with considerable intensities ([M+TMS]⁺, [M+1]⁺), , ([M−CH₃]⁺) were obtained. In the case of the cinnamic acid derivatives, several odd electron fragments are formed by the loss of CO, HCHO and/or Si(CH₃)₄ molecules. In the case of benzoic acids the molecular ion proved to be abundant in three, the [M−CH₃]⁺ ion in nine cases out of fifteen. The special MacLafferty rearrangement product ([C₆H₅Si(CH₃)₂]⁺) was obtained in different yields. In addition to the TIC values, at least three, and in most cases four, selective fragment ions could be utilized for quantitation. The reproducibility of the data in the concentration range of 1–20 ng acids proved to be between 1.2 and 13.0% (R.S.D.).
