Simultaneous Capillary Gas Chromatographic Determination of Cyproterone Acetate and 15β-Hydroxycyproterone Acetate in Urine

Abstract

The simultaneous capillary GC determination of underivatized antiandrogen cyproterone acetate (CPA) and its active metabolite 15β-hydroxycyproterone acetate (OH-CPA) in spiked urine was performed on a flexible VCOT quartz capillary column, coated with a non-polar CP-Sil 5 CB liquid phase. A split/splitless injector and a flame-ionization detector were used. Equilin was used as an internal standard, and resolution of all the compounds was achieved in 6 minutes. Limit of detection was 0.04 μg/μl of injected amount for both CPA and OH-CPA, the recoveries were between 91.35% and 105.56%, and the relative standard deviation varied from 3.35% to 7.38%. The method is applicable in analysis of these steroids in biological fluids.

Preparation and Performance of Polysulfone‐Cellulose Acetate Blend Ultrafiltration Membrane

In the development of high performance polymeric membranes, it is essential to design the molecular and morphological characteristics for specific applications. Polysulfone and cellulose acetate of blend membranes with various concentration of polymer pore former, PEG600 were prepared by phase inversion technique and used for ultrafiltration. Polymer blend composition, additive concentration, and casting conditions were optimized. The blend membranes were characterized in terms of compaction, pure water flux, water content, hydraulic resistance and separation of dextran studies. Surface morphology of the embranes was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy at different magnifications. Further, the characterized membranes were attempted for treatment of distillery effluents after secondary treatment and the results are discussed in detail.     

Novel N,N＇-Diacylhydrazine-Based Colorimetric Receptors for Selective Sensing of Fluoride and Acetate Anions

Three novel and simple N,N＇-diacylhydrazine-based colorimetric receptors have been prepared. The binding properties of the receptors to anions such as F^-, Cl^-, Br^-, AcO^-, HSO4^- and HEPO4^- in acetonitrile solution were examined by UV-Vis spectroscopy methods, which show high sensitivity and selectivity to F^- and AcO^- over other anions. The results indicated that a 1 ： 1 stoichiometry complex was formed between the receptors and the anions, while ^1H NMR titrations confirmed hydrogen binding interaction between the receptors and the anions.

Viscosity η, and density ρ, of binary liquid mixtures of vinyl acetate or benzyl acetate with o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene and ethyl benzene have been determined at (303.15 and 313.15) K for the entire composition range. From the experimental values excess molar volume and deviations in viscosity have been calculated. These excess quantities were fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. The viscosity data have been correlated using the Grunberg-Nissan, Tamura and Kurata, Auslander, and Jouyban-Acree models.     

Densities, Viscosities, Speeds of Sound, FT-IR and 1H-NMR Studies of Binary Mixtures of n-Butyl Acetate with Ethanol, Propan-1-ol, Butan-1-ol and Pentan-1-ol at?298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15?K

Densities, viscosities and speeds of sound of binary mixtures of ethanol, propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol and pentane-1-ol with n-butyl acetate have been measured over the entire range of composition at temperatures of 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K and atmospheric pressure. From the experimental densities, viscosities and speeds of sound, the excess molar volumes V ^E, deviations in viscosity ????, and deviations in isentropic compressibility ???? _S have been calculated. The excess molar volumes and deviations in isentropic compressibility are positive for all the binary systems studied over the whole composition, while deviations in viscosities are negative for all of the binary mixtures. The excess molar volumes, deviations in viscosity, and deviations in isentropic compressibility have been fitted to a Redlich?CKister type polynomial equation. FTIR and ¹H-NMR studies of these mixtures are also reported.     

Molecular Interactions in 1,4-Dioxane,Tetrahydrofuran, and Ethyl Acetate Solutions of 1,1′-Bis(4-isopropyloxyacetylphenoxy)cyclohexane on Reological,Density, and Acoustic Behavior

Various thermo-acoustical parameters of 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydofuran and ethylacetae solutions of 1,1′-bis(4-isopropyloxyacetylphenoxy)cyclohexane were determined at different temperatures using density, viscosity and ultrasonic speed and correlated with concentration. Linear increase of ultrasonic speed, specific acoustical impedance, Rao’s molar sound function, Van der Waals constant and free volume with concentration C and decreased with temperature. Linear decrease of adiabatic compressibility, internal pressure, intermolecular free path length, classical absorption coefficient, and viscous relaxation time with concentration and increased with temperature indicated existence of strong molecular interactions in solutions and further supported by positive values of solvation number. Gibbs free energy of activation decreased with C in all three systems. It is decreased with T in 1,4-dioxane, while increased in tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate. Both enthalpy of activation and entropy of activation are increased gradually with C in 1,4-dioxane, while they are negative and remained practically independent of concentration in 1,4-dioxane and tetrahydofuran systems.     

Free Radical Cyclization of 1,3‐Dicarbonyl Compounds Mediated by Manganese(III) Acetate with Alkynes and Synthesis of Tetrahydrobenzofurans,Naphthalene, and Trifluoroacetyl Substituted Aromatic Compounds

Furan derivatives were obtained from radical cyclizations of 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds mediated by Mn(OAc)₃ with phenyl acetylene 2a (14–66% yields). Naphthalene derivates 4a and 4b were produced in the treatments with 2a. In addition to these, trifluoroacetyl substituted naphthalene 4c, benzofuran 4d, and benzothien 4e were obtained in the reactions of trifluoromethyl‐1,3‐dicarbonyls (1 g–i) with 2a.     

Thermo-Reversible Cellulose Micro Phase-Separation in Mixtures of Methyltributylphosphonium Acetate and γ-Valerolactone or DMSO

We have identified cellulose solvents, comprised of binary mixtures of molecular solvents and ionic liquids that rapidly dissolve cellulose to high concentration and show upper-critical solution temperature (UCST)-like thermodynamic behaviour - upon cooling and micro phase-separation to roughly spherical microparticle particle-gel mixtures. This is a result of an entropy-dominant process, controllable by changing temperature, with an overall exothermic regeneration step. However, the initial dissolution of cellulose in this system, from the majority cellulose I allomorph upon increasing temperature, is also exothermic. The mixtures essentially act as ‘thermo-switchable’ gels. Upon initial dissolution and cooling, micro-scaled spherical particles are formed, the formation onset and size of which are dependent on the presence of traces of water. Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and ¹³C cross-polarisation magic-angle spinning (CP-MAS) NMR spectroscopy have identified that the cellulose micro phase-separates with no remaining cellulose I allomorph and eventually forms a proportion of the cellulose II allomorph after water washing and drying. The rheological properties of these solutions demonstrate the possibility of a new type of cellulose processing, whereby morphology can be influenced by changing temperature.

Thermal Characterization of Vinyl Acetate—Ethylene Copolymers

Copolymers of vinyl acetate and ethylene were prepared by emulsion polymerization using ammonium persulphate and sodium metabisulphite as initiators in presence of cyclohexane. Several copolymer samples were prepared by changing initial pressure of ethylene from 100 to 250 psi. The copolymer composition was determined by ¹H-NMR and thermogravimetric analysis in nitrogen atmosphere.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Kamlet–Taft's Solvatochromic Parameters for Nonaqueous Binary Mixtures between n-Hexane and 2-Propanol, Tetrahydrofurane, and Ethyl Acetate

The π*, α, and β Kamlet–Taft solvatochromic solvent parameters have been determined for nonaqueous binary mixtures commonly used in normal-phase liquid chromatography (NPLC), such as ethyl acetate n-hexane, tetrahydrofurane n-hexane, and 2-propanol n-hexane from spectroscopic data by using several UV-visible absorbing probes. Because preferential solvation is almost nonexistent for the π* probes in the different binary mixtures, we conclude that the measured values reflect quite well the dipolarity–polarizability of the bulk solution. However, strong preferential solvation for the different α and β probes in all mixtures studied here shows that the solvent parameters obtained reflect the properties of the solvation shell more than the bulk properties. This observation does not necessarily mean that the α and β values obtained will not be useful in multiple linear regressions (MLR), but results should be interpreted with care and will depend on the particular situation. Actually, results will make sense only if the particular solute under study preferentially solvates in a fashion similar to that of the α and β solvatochromic probes.     

Synthesis of an Anionic Receptor Based on Phenylhydrazone Group and Its Recognition Property for Acetate

A colorimetric anion receptor was synthesized by a simple method where the phenylhydrazone moiety was need as binding sites.

Each Cu(Ⅱ) coordinates to oxygen atoms of acetate and nitrogen atoms of pyridine-3-ethyl formate ligand to give a six-coordinate distorted octahedral geometry. It is worth mentioning that strong Cu–Cu bond can be observed in the title compound.     

Fries Rearrangement of Phenyl Acetate over Solid Acid Catalyst

A silica-supported zirconium based solid acid (ZS) has been used as catalyst for the Fries rearrangement of phenyl acetate (PA). The catalyst showed a higher PA conversion activity and a much higher selectivity for o-hydroxyacetophenone (o-HAP) than for strongly acidic zeolite catalysts. The supported catalyst was characterized by XRD,IR,XPS,pyridine-TPD and the surface area measurements. The catalytic properties were influenced significantly by pretreatment temperature.     

Spegtrophotometrig Determination of α -Tocopherol Acetate in Soft Capsules

Abstract

Two spectrophotometric methods have been described for the determination of α -tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) in soft capsules. The first method applies the orthogonal function method under least squares. The quadratic coefficients calculated over the wavelength range 277 - 304 nm at 4-nm intervals in chloroform were reproducible and independent of ethyl oleate concentration. The second method applies the second derivative (D₂) to correct for irrelevant absorbance due to ethyl oleate The peak trough amplitude at 271 - 287 nm was in linear correlation to the concentration of vitamin E. The recoveries obtained using the proposed methods agreed with those obtained using the official proceduce.

Low-Temperature Reactions of α-Bromopropanoyl Chloride with Lithium Derivative of Ethyl Acetate

The reaction of 2-bromopropanoyl chloride with lithium ethyl acetate generated in situ by the reaction of equimolar amounts of lithium diisopropylamide with ethyl acetate forms, depending on the conditions (temperature, time, reagent ratio), diethyl 2,2′-(3-methyloxirane-2,2-diyl)diacetate, 2,2-dibromo-N,N-diisopropylpropanamide, and ethyl (5-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)acetate as minor by-products along with the expected acylation product ethyl 4-bromo-3-oxopentanoate. The reaction with 2 or 5 equiv of lithium ethyl acetate (–78°C → –20°C) gave, together with the mentioned α-bromo ester, ethyl (5-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)acetate formed as a result of transformations of the adduct of the second LiCH₂CO₂Et molecule and ethyl-4-bromo-3-oxopentanoate. The reaction 2-bromopropanoyl chloride with sodium malonic ester involves acylation of enol form of the primary expected acylation product to afford dimethyl |2-bromo-1-[(2-bromopropanoyl)oxy]propylidene-malonate.
