Adsorption of aromatic counterions at the surfactant/water interface: a neutron reflectivity study of hydroxybenzoate and chlorobenzoate counterions at the hexadecyl trimethylammonium surfactant/water interface

Specular neutron reflectivity has been used to investigate the adsorption of the aromatic counterions hydroxybenzoate and chlorobenzoate at the hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide surfactant monolayer/water interface. The degree of counterion binding and the location of the counterions at the interface are shown to depend on the isomeric form of the counterion. For hydroxybenzoate, the para-substituted counterion is located within the headgroup region of the surfactant monolayer, and there is of order one counterion for every two surfactant ions. For the ortho-substituted counterion, the degree of counterion binding is higher. There is of order 0.85 counterions for each surfactant ion, and the counterion is located within the hydrophobic region of the monolayer, some 5 A from the center of the headgroup distribution. Similar results were found for the chlorobenzoate counterion, but in that case it was the para-substituted counterion that was more tightly bound and located within the hydrophobic region of the surfactant monolayer. The results for the ortho-substituted hydroxybenzoate and for the para-substituted chlorobenzoate are consistent with those previously reported for the para-tosylate. The results are discussed in the context of the ability of the specific aromatic counterion isomer to promote massive micellar growth, and the results shed light on that mechanism.     

Preparation and selective recognition of a novel solid‐phase microextraction fiber combined with molecularly imprinted polymers for the extraction of parabens in soy sample

A prepared molecularly imprinted polymer with ethyl p‐hydroxybenzoate as template molecule was applied for the first time to a homemade solid‐phase microextraction fiber. The molecularly imprinted polymer‐coated solid‐phase microextraction fiber was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Various parameters were investigated, including extraction temperature, extraction time, and desorption time. Under the optimum extraction conditions, the molecularly imprinted polymer‐coated solid‐phase microextraction fiber exhibited higher selectivity with greater extraction capacity toward parabens compared with the nonimprinted polymer‐coated solid‐phase microextraction fiber and commercial fibers. The molecularly imprinted polymer‐coated solid‐phase microextraction fiber was tested using gas chromatography to determine parabens, including methyl p‐hydroxybenzoate, ethyl p‐hydroxybenzoate, and propyl p‐hydroxybenzoate. The linear ranges were 0.01–10 μg/mL with a correlation coefficient above 0.9943. The detection limits (under signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3) were below 0.30 μg/L. The fiber was successfully applied to the simultaneous analysis of three parabens in spiked soy samples with satisfactory recoveries of 95.48, 97.86, and 92.17%, respectively. The relative standard deviations (n=6) were within 2.83–3.91%. The proposed molecularly imprinted polymer‐coated solid‐phase microextraction method is suitable for selective extraction and determination of trace parabens in food samples.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of bis(m-hydroxybenzoato(1-))bis(benzimidazole) copper(II) dihydrate

The crystal structure of the title complex was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The unit cell contains two independent molecules, A and B. B is a mononuclear Cu(II) complex with square-planar coordination geometry formed by two benzimidazole molecules and two hydroxylbenzoate anions. A is a dimer of B, formed by bridging hydroxybenzoate, and copper assumes square-pyramidal geometry. Aromatic π–π stacking is observed between parallel benzimidazole rings of neighboring A molecules. IR spectra of the compound are assigned in line with the crystal structure.     

A Novel Silver（Ⅰ）σ -Complex Supramolecular Polymer： [Ag2（o-HOPhCO2）2]n

The hydrothermal reactions of sodium o‐hydroxybenzoate with AgNO₃ yield a novel stable Ag(I) s?‐complex supramolecular polymer, [Ag₂(o‐HOPhCO₂)₂]_n. The structure of [Ag₂(o‐HOPhCO₂)₂] was solved by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. It is monoclinic with space group P2Jc and unit cell parameters a=0.7394(2) nm, b= 0.8822(2) nm, c=1.0662(2) nm, β= 107.66(3)°, Z=4. The silver(I) atom is two‐coordinated by two carboxylic oxygen atoms of two o‐hydroxybenzoate ligands, and meanwhile, forms supramolecular interaction with one carbon atom of phenyl‐ring in the third o‐hydroxybenzoate group. The a‐form Ag…C supramolecular bond bridges [Ag₂(o‐HOPhCO₂)₂] units into an infinite 2D layered polymer [Ag₂(o‐HOPhCO₂)₂]_n. The coordination sphere of the silver atom is best described as a distorted T‐shaped geometry.     

A Monooxygenase from Boreostereum vibrans Catalyzes Oxidative Decarboxylation in a Divergent Vibralactone Biosynthesis Pathway

The oxidative decarboxylation of prenyl 4‐hydroxybenzoate to prenylhydroquinone has been frequently proposed for the biosynthesis of prenylated (hydro)quinone derivates (sometimes meroterpenoids), yet no corresponding genes or enzymes have so far been reported. A FAD‐binding monooxygenase (VibMO1) was identified that converts prenyl 4‐hydroxybenzoate into prenylhydroquinone and is likely involved in the biosynthesis of vibralactones and other meroterpenoids in the basidiomycete Boreostereum vibrans. Feeding of 3‐allyl‐4‐hydroxybenzylalcohol, an analogue of the vibralactone pathway intermediate 3‐prenyl‐4‐hydroxybenzylalcohol, generated 20 analogues with different scaffolds. This demonstrated divergent pathways to skeletally distinct compounds initiating from a single precursor, thus providing the first insight into a novel biosynthetic pathway for 3‐substituted γ‐butyrolactones from a shikimate origin.

Design of novel plasticizers for nylon: from molecular modeling to experimental verification

Polyamides are semi‐crystalline polymers useful in a wide range of applications in the plastics industry. Some applications require higher flexibility and workability of the polyamides. Therefore, plasticizers are added to ease compounding and processing procedures and produce the desired product properties. The goal of the present work was to study experimentally a series of four esters of 4‐hydroxybenzoate with linear side chain as plasticizers for the random copolymer nylon 66/6 and to compare the experimental results to computational results that were obtained in a previous work. The plasticizers used were the methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl esters of 4‐hydroxybenzoate (M4HB, E4HB, P4HB, and B4HB, respectively). Four properties of the plasticizer‐polymer blends were examined: area under the loss modulus curve; impact energy; the decrease in Tg, which is related to the plasticization efficiency, and static modulus that serves as an indication to the mechanical properties or the polymer. It was found that P4HB and B4HB offer the optimal combination of plasticization efficiency and mechanical properties and that M4HB is inferior to the other three plasticizers, as was predicted computationally. This study verifies that computational design of plasticizers for nylon is valid and can serve as an important tool to develop new plasticizers specifically and new additives to polymers generally.

Selective carboxylation of substituted phenols with engineered Escherichia coli whole-cells

Selective carboxylation of substituted phenols is realized in the presence of bicarbonate under ambient pressure by engineered Escherichia coli whole-cells expressing various hydroxybenzoate decarboxylases, leading to their corresponding ortho-hydroxybenzoates. This process may be further developed as an efficient route to upgrade lignin-derived phenolic compounds as valuable building blocks.     

A Convenient Protocol for the Synthesis of 2‐(2′‐Hydroxy‐5′‐carboxyphenyl)‐2H‐benzotriazole to Avoid Decarboxylation When Using p‐Hydroxybenzoic Acid as Coupling Component

In the study of the synthesis of 2‐(2′‐hydroxy‐5′‐carboxyphenyl)‐2H‐benzotriazole, we found that decarboxy intermediate‐4‐((2‐nitrophenyl)diazenyl)phenol was obtained when using p‐hydroxybenzoic acid as coupling component. A convenient protocol for the synthesis of 2‐(2′‐hydroxy‐5′‐carboxyphenyl)‐2H‐benzotriazole is reported with methyl‐p‐hydroxybenzoate as coupling component. Different dizao components and different coupling components were also used for further investigation of decarboxylation.     

Chemical composition of propolis from Canada, its antiradical activity and plant origin

The chemical composition of propolis from two regions in Canada was studied: Boreal forest and Pacific coastal forest that lay outside the area of distribution of Aigeiros poplars, the usual propolis source plants. In the sample from Victoria, p-hydroxyacetophenone, benzyl hydroxybenzoate and cinnamic acid were the major components, accompanied by significant amounts of dihydrochalcones, which allowed the identification of its plant source: Populus trichocarpa of Section Tacamahaca. Three dihydrochalcones were new for propolis. The sample from Richmond was characterized by large amounts of p-coumaric and cinnamic acid, typical for poplars of Section Leuce, subsection Trepidae, its plant source was identified as P. tremuloides. Both samples showed good radical scavenging activity against DPPH. Obviously, Northern type propolis is a promising potential source of biologically active substances and deserves further investigation.

Identification of methyl salicylate as the principal volatile component in the methanol extract of root bark of Securidaca longepedunculata Fers

Securidaca longepedunculata Fers (Polygalaceae) is commonly used as a medicine in many parts of Africa and shows promise for protecting stored grain against insect pests. Analysis of a methanol extract of the root bark by gas chromatography linked to mass spectrometry (GC/MS) showed a major component accounting for over 90% of the volatile material. This was identified as methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (methyl salicylate) by comparison of the GC retention times and mass spectrum with those of synthetic standards. This conflicts with an earlier report that the major component is methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate. Two minor components had mass spectra characteristic of 2-hydroxybenzoate esters and were identified as methyl 2-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzoate and its benzyl analogue, again conflicting with an earlier report.     

Determination of chlorinated by-products of parabens in swimming pool water

We describe the determination of trace amounts of chlorinated parabens, i.e. disinfection by-products, in swimming pool water, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring (GC-MS-SIM). A dichlorinated by-product of isopropylparaben was detected at levels of up to 25 ng L^?1. Further, a dichlorinated by-product of methylparaben and a monochlorinated by-product of benzylparaben were present in concentrations lower than the limit of quantification. Benzylparaben, the parent compound, was also detected at concentrations of up to 28 ng L^?1. Thus, in this study, chlorinated parabens were detected and quantified for the first time as disinfection by-products in swimming pool water. The results of this study have raised concerns regarding the chlorinated by-products of active ingredients used in personal care products.

Comparison of pillar[5]arene and calix[4]arene anion receptor ability in aqueous media

Abstract

Recognition ability of both cationic pillar[5]arene and calix[4]arene has been studied in aqueous media. Anion complexation can be evaluated from their ability to complex their counterions as well as an added external organic anion. DOSY NMR experiments and fluorescence quenching show that pillararenes have a larger ability for including their own counterions than calixarenes irrespective of the anion (tetrafluoroborate or chloride or bromide) and the structure of the cationic moiety (trimethylammonium or methylimidazolium). Counterion complexation shows a picture where four to five positive charges of the pillar[5]arene are neutralised, meanwhile only one positive charge of the calixarene is neutralised for a 1 mM solution of the macrocycle. Irrespective of the smaller net positive charge in the pillar[5]arene, its binding ability for organic anions (toluenesulfonate or hydroxybenzoate) is larger than for calix[4]arene allowing a better accommodation of the guest in its cavity. The larger separation between the cationic groups of the receptor and its electron-rich aromatic region improves the anion recognition ability for pillar[5]arene.     

Synthesis and structure of bis(1,2-diaminoethane) copper(II) bis(<Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-hydroxybenzoate) monohydrate and <Emphasis Type="Italic">trans</Emphasis>-diaquabis(1,2-diaminoethane)copper(II) bis(<Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-aminobenzoate)

X-ray structural analysis has been performed for two complex compounds: Cu(en)₂(o-HB)₂H₂O (I) (a = 16.873(4) Å, b = 8.713(2) Å, c = 14.803(3) Å, β = 91.15(2)°, V = 2175.8(8) ų, C2/c, Z = 4, R(F) = 0.0263, 1516 reflections with I > 3σ (I)) and [Cu(en)₂(OH₂)₂]²⁺(o-AB^?)₂ (II) (a = 7.488(5) Å, b = 22.122(8) Å, c = 7.856(5) Å, β = 118.77(2)°, V = 1140.7(11) ų, P2₁/n, Z = 2, R(F) = 0.0432, 1684 reflections with I > 3σ(I)) synthesized under identical conditions (en is ethylenediamine, o-HB is o-hydroxybenzoate, and o-AB is o-aminobenzoate). Although the compounds were assumed to have similar structures and the Cu-Lig bond lengths and the cis and trans angles are acceptable for an octahedral structure, the geometric parameters of o-HB suggest that the copper atom has a plane square environment.
