Synthesis of D-Glucose-based Azacrown Ethers with Phosphinoxidoalkyl Side Chains and Their Application to an Enantioselective Reaction

Five chiral -D-glucose-based monoaza-15-crown-5 ethers with phosphinoxidoalkyl side chains of one to five carbon atoms (5a–e)have been synthesised. The cation binding ability of the new lariat ethers was evaluated bythe picrate extraction method.

Basic concepts of "cation pool" and "cation flow" methods and their applications in conventional and combinatorial organic synthesis

Carbocations have been generally considered to be relatively unstable and transient species. But the "cation pool" method enables the easy accumulation of carbocations in conventional reaction media such as dichloromethane. In the "cation pool" method, carbocations are generated by low-temperature electrochemical oxidation and accumulated in a solution. In the next step, the carbocations thus produced are allowed to react with various nucleophiles. Combinatorial parallel synthesis based upon the "cation pool" method has also been developed. The applicability of the "cation pool" method depends upon the stability of the cation that is accumulated. This problem can be overcome by the "cation flow" method. In the "cation flow" method, carbocations are generated in a microflow electrochemical system. Short residence times and efficient temperature control of the microflow system are advantageous. Combinatorial sequential synthesis has been achieved based on the "cation flow" method.     

New Type of Lariat Ethers: Synthesis and Cation Binding Ability of Phosphonoalkyl-Azacrown Ethers

Introduction of the phosphonoalkyl moiety into the parent monoaza-15-crown-5 ( 1) decreases the cation extraction ability, but results in an increase in the selectivity towards the cations examined. The effect of the phosphonoalkyl-azacrown ethers on the properties of membranes used in ion-selective electrodes is also reported.

Quantitative analysis of a quaternary ammonium drug: ipratropium bromide by LC/ESI-MS(n) in horse plasma and urine

A quantitative method, using LC/ESI-MS(n) with a quadrupole linear ion trap mass analyzer, has been developed for the analysis of ipratropium cation in horse plasma and urine. The method applies solid-phase extraction with WCX cartridges for plasma and MM2 cartridges for urine, prior to analysis by LC/ESI-MS(n). The efficiency of extraction combined with the sensitivity and the selectivity of MS(n) allows for the quantification of ipratropium cation at picogram per milliliter levels. The analytical capabilities of the method have been successfully checked by the quantitative analysis of ipratropium cation in post-administration samples collected from horses treated by nebulization.     

Determination of creatinine in serum by high-performance liquid chromatography: a comparison of three ion-exchange methods

Three ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatographic methods for the determination of creatinine in serum have been compared. In method 1 a strong cation exchanger was used. In method 2 a reversed-phase column was given strong cation-exchange properties by the addition of N-methyloleoyl taurate to the mobile phase. In method 3 a weak cation exchanger was used. Elution was with a pH gradient in methods 1 and 2, and isocratic elution was used in method 3. The imprecision was similar for the three methods and varied between 0.9 and 2.5% as studied within-day and between 1.4 and 3.2% from day-to-day. The lowest coefficient of variation was obtained around the upper reference limit. Analytical recoveries were quantitative for the three methods. The method with N-methyloleoyl taurate showed no advantages over the conventional strong cation exchanger. With the weak cation exchanger no interferences were detected from compounds investigated, but with the strong cation exchanger a slight interference was obtained with uric acid. We prefer the weak cation-exchange method because of its simplicity, higher throughput and absence of interference from hitherto tested compounds.     

Calixarenes as hosts for ammonium cations: a quantum chemical study and mass-spectrometric investigations

Host-guest complexes of tetramethylcavitand with different ammonium cations were investigated by using a quantum chemical method at the density functional level (BP86, B3 LYP). The NH4+ cation is strongly bound to the host. Increasing methyl substitution at the cation decreases its inclination towards the complex formation. The calculated data are in line with results from electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) experiments. They reveal stable aggregates only for the NH4+ cation and for the primary alkylammonium cations.     

Determination of protein-free and protein-bound calcium and magnesium in biological samples by use of ultrafiltration and ion chromatography

Protein-free and protein-bound calcium and magnesium are determined selectively in biological samples by use of ultrafiltration followed by ion chromatography. A commercial ultrafiltration kit is used to remove proteins of molecular weight > 10 000. The content of protein-bound cation is calculated by subtracting the value of protein-free from that of total cation. A protein-free cation filtrate is prepared by ultrafiltration of a diluted sample; a total cation filtrate is prepared by adding EDTA to the sample and filtering. Calcium and magnesium are determined in each filtrate by single-column ion chromatography with 1 mM EDTA (pH 6.5) as eluent and a conductivity detector. The use of a u.v. detector, in series with the conductivity detector, is useful for monitoring small molecules in the filtrates. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of calcium and magnesium in blood serum, milk and egg white.     

Experimental and Computational Studies on the Formation of Three para‐Benzyne Analogues in the Gas Phase

Experimental and computational studies on the formation of three gaseous, positively‐charged para‐benzyne analogues in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT‐ICR) mass spectrometer are reported. The structures of the cations were examined by isolating them and allowing them to react with various neutral reagents whose reactions with aromatic carbon‐centered σ‐type mono‐ and biradicals are well understood. Cleavage of two iodine–carbon bonds in N‐deuterated 1,4‐diiodoisoquinolinium cation by collision‐activated dissociation (CAD) produced a long‐lived cation that showed nonradical reactivity, which was unexpected for a para‐benzyne. However, the reactivity closely resembles that of an isomeric enediyne, N‐deuterated 2‐ethynylbenzonitrilium cation. A theoretical study on possible rearrangement reactions occurring during CAD revealed that the cation formed upon the first iodine atom loss undergoes ring‐opening before the second iodine atom loss to form an enediyne instead of a para‐benzyne. Similar results were obtained for the 5,8‐didehydroisoquinolinium cation and the 2,5‐didehydropyridinium cation. The findings for the 5,8‐didehydroisoquinolinium cation are in contradiction with an earlier report on this cation. The cation described in the literature was regenerated by using the literature method and demonstrated to be the isomeric 5,7‐didehydro‐isoquinolinium cation and not the expected 5,8‐isomer.     

Generation of alkoxycarbenium ion pools from thioacetals and applications to glycosylation chemistry

[reaction: see text] Alkoxycarbenium ions have been generated and accumulated as "cation pools" by the low-temperature electrochemical oxidation of alpha-phenylthioethers. Although an unsuccessful attempt to accumulate glycosyl cations was made, a one-pot method for electrochemical glycosylation, which involves anodic oxidation of thioglycosides to generate glycosyl cation equivalents followed by their reactions with glycosyl acceptors, has been developed.     

Synthesis andCrystal Structure of{[Mn（H2O）4（3,3′—azpy）]（3,3′—azpy）3（PF6）2}n

The complex {[Mn(H2O)4(3, 3?-azpy)](3, 3?-azpy)3(PF6)2}n (3, 3?-azpy = 3, 3?- azobispyridine) has been synthesized and characterized. The crystal (C40H40F12MnN16O4P2, Mr = 1153.76) belongs to the triclinic system, space group P ī with the following crystallographic parameters: a = 10.761(2), b = 11.040(2), c = 23.365(4) ?, ( = 85.52(1), ( = 82.69(1), ( = 70.44(1)°, V = 2592.5(8) ?3, Dc = 1.478 g/cm3, ((MoK() = 4.16 cm-1, F(000) = 1174, Z = 2, final R = 0.0493 and wR = 0.1158 for the observed reflections (I > 2.00((I)). The X-ray analysis revealed that manganese(Ⅱ) cation coordination environment is a distorted octahedral geometry, and the Mn2+ cation is coordinated by four oxygen atoms of water in the equatorial plane, while the two nitrogen atoms of 3, 3?-azpy occupy the axial positions. The complex forms a one-dimensional chain structure via 3, 3?-azpy bridging ligand.     

Electron-ion recombination in dense gaseous and liquid argon: effects due to argon cation clusters allow to explain the experimental data

The role of cation clusters in the bulk electron-ion recombination in dense gaseous and liquid argon is investigated. The size and structure of cation clusters in those systems are determined by a Monte Carlo simulation. Then, the rate constants of electron-ion recombination are calculated by another simulation method that takes into account the presence of cation clusters in the considered systems. A good agreement with experiment for both dense gaseous and liquid argon is obtained.     

A concept of an electron transfer stopped-flow method

A new concept of an electron transfer stopped-flow (ETSF) method is proposed. In the ETSF method, unstable cation radicals are formed via the electron transfer reactions with stable cation radicals whose oxidation potential is positive to that of unstable ones. Thus, by combining the electron transfer reactions with the stopped-flow operation, absorption spectroscopic measurements for short-lived cation radical become possible with a reduced dead time from the point of the generation of cation radicals to the point of the optical measurement, in particular, with a help of a rapid-scan spectrophotometer. By mixing an acetonitrile (AN) solution of tris(p-bromophenyl)amine cation radical (TBPA^⋅+) with an AN solution of methyldiphenylamine (MDPA) or diphenylamine (HDPA), the kinetic analyses could be carried out successfully for the dimerization reactions of MDPA^⋅+ and HDPA^⋅+ as well as the observations of their absorption spectra. It was found that fast reactions whose second order rate constants are around 10⁷ M⁻¹s⁻¹ can be analyzed using the ETSF method.     

Thorium determination in aqueous solutions after separation by ion-exchange and liquid extraction

The concentration of thorium in aqueous samples has been determined by means of alpha-spectroscopy and UV?CVis photometry after chemical separation and pre-concentration of the actinide by cation exchange and liquid-liquid extraction using Chelex-100 resin and 30%TBP in dodecan, respectively. Method calibration was performed using thorium standard solutions and resulted in a high chemical recovery for cation exchange and liquid extraction. Regarding, the effect of physicochemical parameters (e.g., pH, salinity, competitive cations, and colloidal species) on the separation recovery of thorium from aqueous solutions by cation exchange has also been investigated. The investigation was performed to evaluate the applicability of cation exchange and liquid extraction as separation and pre-concentration methods prior to the quantitative analysis of thorium in water samples, and has shown that the method could be successfully applied to waters with relatively low-salinity and metal ion contamination.

Analytical Study of New Creatininium and Tetramethyl-ammonium Cation Selective Membrane Electrodes

Abstract

Two new liquid membrane electrodes which respond to creatininium and tetramethylammonium cations are described. The creatininium cation electrode exhibits rapid and near Nernstian response to creatininium cation activity, at pH 3, in the 10^?3?10^?1 mol/L range. The useful concentration range extends to 10^?4 mol/L. The tetramethyl-ammonium cation electrode exhibits rapid and near Nernstian response to tetramethylammonium cation activity, at pH 2–11.5, in the 2x10^?5? 10^?1 mol/L range. Major interferences for the creatininium electrode are Na⁺, K⁺, NH⁺ ₄ and creatine. The pK_a of the creatininium cation was calculated. A method is described for the potentiometric precipitation titration of tetramethylammonium cation with sodium tetraphenylboron. Amounts of tetramethylammonium in the range 20–200 μol have been determined using Gran's plots, with an average error of about 0.6%.     

SCC-EH Molecular orbital calculations of the election distribution in benzocyclopropene and its cation,anion and radical

The SCC-EH MO method is applied to benzocyclopropene and its as yet unknown cation, anion and radical. The π-electron distribution of the neutral molecule reflects the particular geometry assumed, but the total energy is relatively insensitive to small geometric changes. Significant stabilisation of the ions is predicted to occur by charge delocalisation with the free radical having a stability intermediate to the cation and anion.
