Temperature effect on the kinetics of persulfate oxidation of p-chloroaniline

The kinetics of heat-facilitated persulfate oxidation of p-chloroaniline（PCA） in aqueous solutions was measured at five different temperature conditions and at four different oxidant concentrations.The PCA degradation was found to follow a pseudo-first-order decay model when the persulfate was excessive.The pseudo-first-order rate constants of PCA degradation by persulfate（50 mmol/ L） at pH 7.0 are 0.12×10^-4,0.28×10^-4,0.43×10^-4,0.83×10^-4,1.32×10^-4 s^-1 at 10,20,30,40 and 50℃,respectively. Under the above reaction conditions,the reaction has activation energy of 49.97 kJ/mol.The observed rate was found to be function of temperature and oxidant concentration.Raising temperature and increasing persulfate concentration can significantly accelerate the PCA degradation.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis and micellization behavior of soy-based copoly(2-oxazoline)s

Polymers based on renewable resources are promising candidates for replacing common organic polymers, and thus, for reducing oil consumption. In this contribution we report the microwave-assisted synthesis of block and statistical copolymers from 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline and 2-“soy alkyl”-2-oxazoline via a cationic ring-opening polymerization mechanism. The synthesized copolymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. The micellization of these amphiphilic copolymers was investigated by dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy to examine the effect of hydrophobic block length and monomer distribution on the resulting micellar characteristics.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of rhodamine derivatives

The microwave synthesis of 12 rhodamine-derived imines is described. The present work involves condensation of rhodamine hydrazide with various aromatic aldehydes in ethanol under microwave irradiation. The results obtained indicate that, unlike classical heating, microwave irradiation results in higher yields, shorter reaction time, mild reaction condition and simple work-up procedure. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, FT-IR and high-resolution mass spectra data.     

Preparation and characterization of fluorinated acrylate copolymer latexes by miniemulsion polymerization under microwave irradiation

Fluoroacrylate copolymer miniemulsion was prepared by miniemulsion polymerization under microwave irradiation. The composition of the copolymer was determined by FTIR, DSC, ¹H NMR and ¹⁹F NMR. The morphology, size, and size distribution of the latex particles as well as changes in the size during polymerization were characterized by TEM and photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). The effects of kinetic parameters on the polymerization were evaluated. The particle size of latex underwent almost no change during microwave irradiation polymerization. The diameters of latex particles prepared by microwave irradiation were smaller and more monodispersed than those prepared by conventional heating and the latex had good centrifugal stability. Polymerization under microwave irradiation had a higher reaction rate and higher conversion than traditional heating. By using 10 wt% fluoromonomer, the surface energy of the latex film could be reduced from 27.24 mJ/m² (latex film of fluorine-free) to 17.59 mJ/m² and the decomposition temperature increased by 25 °C.     

Microwave-assisted phase-transfer catalysis for the rapid one-pot methylation and gas chromatographic determination of phenolics

Microwave-assisted phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) is reported for the first time, for the one-step extraction–derivatization–preconcentration and gas chromatographic determination of twenty phenols and ten phenolic acids. The well established phase-transfer catalytic methylation is largely accelerated when heating is replaced with the “greener” microwave irradiation. The overall procedure was thoroughly optimized and the analytes were determined by GC/MS. The method presented adequate analytical characteristics being more sensitive in analyzing phenols than phenolic acids. The limits of detection without any additional preconcentration steps (e.g. solvent evaporation) were adequate and ranged from 0.4 to 15.8 ng/mL while limits of quantitation were between 1.2 and 33.3 ng/mL. The method was applied to the determination of phenols, in spiked environmental samples and phenolic acids in aqueous infusions of commercially available pharmaceutical dry plants. The recoveries of fortified composite lake water samples and Mentha spicata aqueous infusions ranged from 89.3% to 117.3% for phenols and 93.3% to 115.2% for phenolic acids.

Microwave-assisted solid-phase synthesis of hydantoin derivatives

A microwave-assisted synthesis of 3,5- and 1,3,5-substituted hydantoins starting from various resins for solid-phase combinatorial chemistry has been developed.

Both reactions were performed under microwave irradiation. We studied the cyclative cleavage leading to hydantoin compounds dependent on the nature of the amino acid and the nucleofuge properties of the resin.

Microwave-assisted silica-supported aluminum chloride-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation

Microwave irradiation is a popular method in organic synthesis to achieve high yields in shorter reaction times. This decreases total ‘man-hours’ in a synthetic setting. Another technique used in organic chemistry to decrease manual manipulations, is solid support reagents. The benefits of this approach is that upon completion of a reaction, a simple filtration can be performed which expedites the work-up and also produces less organic waste. Friedel-Crafts alkylation has been explored using microwave chemistry as well as with solid-supported reagents. In comparison with traditional heating, as well as with AlCl₃, superior yields were observed with silica-gel bound aluminum chloride (Si-AlCl_x) when microwave irradiated for only 5 min.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of highly functionalized guanidines on soluble polymer support

An efficient method for the N,N′-di(Boc)-protected guanidines containing piperazine and homopiperazine scaffolds has been developed under multi-step microwave irradiation. Followed by alkylation of carbamate-protected guanidines with various alkyl halides is also explored. This protocol proceeds via deprotonation of the acidic N-carbamate hydrogen of the guanidine by sodium hydride on soluble polymer support. In this manner, highly functionalized guanidines were obtained after cleavage from the support. The reaction is tolerant of a wide range of functional groups on both the alkyl halide and guanidine components. In addition, the reaction is sufficiently simple workup by precipitation in each step to yield the substituted guanidines in high purity. In conjunction with microwave irradiation and soluble polymer support, this method provides an efficient route to access highly functionalized guanidines.     

Microwave-assisted aminolytic depolymerization of PET waste

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibre waste and disposable soft drink bottle waste were subjected to depolymerization via aminolysis using excess of ethanolamine. The reaction was carried out under non conventional microwave energy in the presence of different simple chemicals as catalysts namely, sodium acetate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium sulphate. After repeated crystallization, pure bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalamide (BHETA) was obtained with very high yields (nearly 90%). It was subjected to characterization by elemental analysis, melting point, FTIR, NMR and DSC. With the use of microwave energy, the process becomes economically viable since high yields of BHETA (>90%) at very low reaction time (4 min) could be obtained with common and cheap chemicals as catalysts.
