Determination of Sterols and their Esters in Fats by Way of Transesterification in Different Solvents

ABSTRACT

The interference of triglycerides in the analysis of sterols and their esters in fats can be eliminated by transesterification of the sample dissolved in n-hexane with a solution of sodium hydroxide 2 mol/L. Since the analytes are distributed equally in n-hexane and in methanol, better results can be obtained by accurate measurements of the volumes, and processing the standards as the samples. Triglycerides and steryl esters are transesterified quantitatively by a solution of sodium hydroxide 2 mol/L using diethyl ether as solvent. At 40°C, ten minutes are sufficient to complete the reaction. The sterols are determined in fats using a mass spectrometer detector, at concentrations as low as 5 mg/Kg. Using FID, it was possible to analyze sterols present in concentrations higher than 100 mg/Kg.

Promotion of Trimethylsilylation of Phenols by Trifluoroacetic Acid

Abstract

The speed of trimethylsilylation of sterically hindered phenols was increased by promoting the reaction with a small amount of trifluoroacetic acid. Promotion was successful with hexamethyldisilazane, trimethylchlorosilane, bis-(trimethylsilyl)-trifluoroacetamide, bis-(trimethylsilyl)-acetamide, and trimethylsilylimidazole.

The Oxidation of Primary Alcohols to Methyl Esters and Diols to Lactones Using Trichloroisocyanuric Acid

Abstract

Primary alcohols and diols are easily oxidized to methyl esters by a solution of trichloroisocyanuric acid with methyl alcohol in dichloromethane. In addition, α,ω-diols are also readily oxidized into lactones by refluxing with trichloroisocyanuric acid and pyridine in dichloromethane.

Melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA) was easily prepared by the reaction of melamine with neat chlorosulfonic acid at room temperature. This reagent can be used as an efficient catalyst for the acetylation of alcohols, phenols, and amines with Ac₂O under mild and completely heterogeneous reaction conditions.

Regioselective Nitration of Phenols in O/W Microemulsion by NaNO3 and Dilute Sulfuric Acid

Highly regiospecific mononitration of phenol by NaNO₃ and dilute sulfuric acid was carried out in a TX100 oil-in-water microemulsion. Effects of various parameters such as acid type, surfactant concentration, water content, and alcohol have been investigated. The use of inexpensive and relatively nontoxic acidic reagent is an advantage of this method.      

Alumina Sulfuric Acid as an Efficient and Recyclable Heterogeneous Catalyst for the O-Silylation of Alcohols,Phenols, and Oximes

Alumina sulfuric acid as a recyclable catalyst conducts the transformation of various types of alcohol, phenols, and oximes with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) to the corresponding O-trimethylsilylated compounds in good to excellent yields under mild and ambient conditions with short reaction times. The method is highly selective for the conversion of primary alcohols in the presence of secondary and tertiary alcohols. Additionally, the catalyst can be easily recovered and reused at least eight times without detectable loss of reactivity.     

Complexes of Lanthanide Nitrates with Alkyl Esters of Bromomethylenediphosphonic Acid

Complexes of lanthanide nitrates (La, Ce, Sm, Gd, Er, and Yb) with tetraethyl and tetraisopropyl esters of bromomethylenediphosphonic acid were prepared. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and, in some cases, NMR. The data confirm that diphosphonates coordinate with two P[dbnd]O groups, and there are no indications for the existence of noncoordinated P[dbnd]O groups. The structure of the complexes depends only on the ionic radius of the central metal atom and not on changes in the electronic or steric behavior of the ester groups. For the complexes of La, Ce, Sm, and Gd nitrates, the formula is LnL₂(NO₃)₃, and for Er and Yb nitrates it is Ln₂L₃(NO₃)₆ (Ln[dbnd]La, Ce, Sm, Gd, Er, Yb; L = diphosphonate).
