Kinetics of the Micellar Effects on the Alkaline Hydrolysis of 2-Chloro-quinoxaline in Acetonitrile-Water Mixtures at 35°C

Pseudo-first-order reaction rate for alkaline hydrolysis of 2-chloroquinoxaline (2-CQX) is carried out in acetonitrile (AN)-water (H₂O) mixtures at 35°C. Cationic surfactants as dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DOTAB) and an anionic surfactant as sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) are used above their critical micelle concentration (cmc) to study the effect of micelles on reaction rate. When increasing the percentage of volume of AN, the rate profiles with DOTAB are shown to slightly increase with increasing surfactant concentration, while that with SDS are found to smoothly decrease. The micellar effect is explained in terms of a modified pseudo-phase ion exchange model. The binding constant (K_S) between 2-CQX and DOTAB as micelle showed a decrease by increasing percentage of volume of AN, while that with SDS increased. The counterion micellar coverage degrees (β) are found to be 0.55 and 0.85 with DOTAB and SDS systems, respectively, at all range of volume percentage of AN. Finally, the calculated ratio between rate constants in water to that in the micelle region k_w/k_M at different volume percentage of AN indicated that DOTAB enhances the reaction rate while SDS inhibits it.      

Kinetics of hydrolysis of procaine in aqueous and micellar media

The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of procaine under the pseudo–first‐order condition ([OH^?] ? [procaine]) has been carried out. N,N‐Diethylaminoethanol and p‐aminobenzoate anion were obtained as the hydrolysis product. The rate of hydrolysis was found to be linearly dependent upon [NaOH]. The addition of cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DDTAB) and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles inhibited the rate of hydrolysis. The maximum inhibitive effect on the reaction rate was observed for SDS micelles, whereas among the cationic surfactants, CTAB inhibited most. The variation in the rate of hydrolysis of procaine in the micellar media is attributed to the orientation of a reactive molecule to the surfactant and the binding constant of procaine with micelles. The rate of hydrolysis of procaine is negligible in DDTAB micelles. The observed results in the presence of cationic micelles were treated on the basis of the pseudophase ion exchange model. The results obtained in the presence of anionic micelles were treated by the pseudophase model, and the various kinetic parameters were determined. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

MICELLE FORMATION BY ANIONIC AND CATIONIC SURFACTANTS IN AQUEOUS 18-CROWN-6 ETHER,P-CYCLODEXTRIN,AND 1,10-PHENANTHROLINE SOLUTIONS AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES

The conductances of sodium perfluorooctanoate (SPFO), sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS), dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) in 18-crown-6 ether + water (CR+W), p-cyclodextrin + water (CY+W), and 1,10-phenanthroIine + water (Phen+W) mixtures with fixed 4 mM of each additive were determined over the temperature range of 5-55 °C. The conductivity plots for all the surfactants showed single break from which the critical micellization concentration (cmc) and degree of micelle ionization (x) were computed. From the pre and the post micellar slopes of the conductivity curves, the equivalent conductivities of the monomeric (Aass) and the micellar states (Amjc), respectively, were calculated and discussed with respect to the surfactant-additive complexation. It was observed that the micelle formation of all the ionic surfactants irrespective of the nature of their head groups were delayed in CYC+W in comparison to that in CR+W and Phen+W systems over the temperature range studied. The micelle formation of SPFO and SDS in CR+W and Phen+W systems showed stabilization of the respective micelles due to the adsorption of Na⁺-CR and Na+-Phen complexes at the micelle solution interface in comparison to that of DTAB and TTAB.     

Interactions between zwitterionic and conventional anionic and cationic surfactants

Critical micelle concentration (cmc) values have been determined for the mixed zwitterionic/anionic surfactant systems of N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate (ZW3-12)/sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), N-dodecyl-N,N-(dimethylammonio)butyrate (DDMAB)/SDS, N-octyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate (ZW3-08)/sodium octyl sulfate (SOS), and the zwitterionic/cationic systems of ZW3-12/dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), DDMAB/DTAB. Conductivity studies and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were the methods employed for cmc determinations. The degree of nonideality of the interaction in the micelle (beta(m)), for each system, was determined according to Rubingh's nonideal solution theory. Evidence was found for the existence of strong interactions between zwitterionic and anionic surfactants in each of the zwitterionic/anionic systems. The ZW3-08/SOS and DDMAB/SDS systems behaved synergistically at all mole fractions studied while the ZW3-12/SDS system exhibited synergistic behavior above mole fractions of 0.30. Greater negative deviations from ideal behavior were demonstrated in the DDMAB/SDS system than in the other two zwitterionic/anionic systems. The zwitterionic/cationic systems of ZW3-12/DTAB and ZW3-08/OTAB displayed only slight deviations from ideal behavior, therefore indicating near ideal mixing.     

New pressure‐assisted sweeping on‐line preconcentration for highly polar environmentally relevant nitrosamines: Part 2. Cationic and anionic surfactants with zero‐flow capillaries

We recently introduced a pressure‐assisted sweeping‐reversed migration‐EKC (RM‐EKC) method for preconcentration of neutral polar N‐nitrosamines with low affinity for the micellar phase. The type of surfactant and phase ratio are dominant factors in dictating the magnitude of interactions between analyte and micellar phase, thus four surfactants (anionic and cationic) with a range of functionalities (SDS, ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO), bile salts, and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC)) were evaluated for sweeping‐RM‐EKC of highly polar N‐nitrosamines. All gave acceptable results for sweeping‐RM‐EKC when used in high concentrations (≥200 mM) with low EOF. While no single surfactant was superior by all measures, all but the bile salts had useful performance characteristics. APFO showed the narrowest peak widths and highest number of theoretical plates, though two species co‐migrated at all concentrations (25–300 mM); SDS and the cationic surfactant CTAC also showed good separation characteristics and could resolve all peaks, but CTAC had wider separation window. Various types of capillaries coated for EOF control were compared for use with anionic and cationic surfactants. A commercial zero‐EOF capillary coated with a polymer bearing sulfonic acid functional groups showed superior EOF suppression and reproducibility of migration time with all surfactants.     

Encapsulation of curcumin in cationic micelles suppresses alkaline hydrolysis

The alkaline hydrolysis of curcumin was studied in three types of micelles composed of the cationic surfactants cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) and the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). At pH 13, curcumin undergoes rapid degradation by alkaline hydrolysis in the SDS micellar solution. In contrast, alkaline hydrolysis of curcumin is greatly suppressed in the presence of either CTAB or DTAB micelles, with a yield of suppression close to 90%. The results from fluorescence spectroscopic studies reveal that while curcumin remains encapsulated in CTAB and DTAB micelles at pH 13, curcumin is dissociated from the SDS micelles to the aqueous phase at this pH. The absence of encapsulation and stabilization in the SDS micellar solution results in rapid hydrolysis of curcumin.     

Adsorption behavior of hydrophobin and hydrophobin/surfactant mixtures at the solid-solution interface

The adsorption of surface-active protein hydrophobin, HFBII, and HFBII/surfactant mixtures at the solid-solution interface has been studied by neutron reflectivity, NR. At the hydrophilic silicon surface, HFBII adsorbs reversibly in the form of a bilayer at the interface. HFBII adsorption dominates the coadsorption of HFBII with cationic and anionic surfactants hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, CTAB, and sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, at concentrations below the critical micellar concentration, cmc, of conventional cosurfactants. For surfactant concentrations above the cmc, HFBII/surfactant solution complex formation dominates and there is little HFBII adsorption. Above the cmc, CTAB replaces HFBII at the interface, but for SDS, there is no affinity for the anionic silicon surface hence there is no resultant adsorption. HFBII adsorbs onto a hydrophobic surface (established by an octadecyl trimethyl silane, OTS, layer on silicon) irreversibly as a monolayer, similar to what is observed at the air-water interface but with a different orientation at the interface. Below the cmc, SDS and CTAB have little impact upon the adsorbed layer of HFBII. For concentrations above the cmc, conventional surfactants (CTAB and SDS) displace most of the HFBII at the interface. For nonionic surfactant C(12)E(6), the pattern of adsorption is slightly different, and although some coadsorption at the interface takes place, C(12)E(6) has little impact on the HFBII adsorption.     

Adsorption behavior of hydrophobin and hydrophobin/surfactant mixtures at the air-water interface

The adsorption of the surface-active protein hydrophobin, HFBII, and the competitive adsorption of HFBII with the cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB, sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, and hexaethylene monododecyl ether, C(12)E(6), has been studied using neutron reflectivity, NR. HFBII adsorbs strongly at the air-water interface to form a dense monolayer ～30 ? thick, with a mean area per molecule of ～400 ?(2) and a volume fraction of ～0.7, for concentrations greater than 0.01 g/L, and the adsorption is independent of the solution pH. In competition with the conventional surfactants CTAB, SDS, and C(12)E(6) at pH 7, the HFBII adsorption totally dominates the surface for surfactant concentrations less than the critical micellar concentration, cmc. Above the cmc of the conventional surfactants, HFBII is displaced by the surfactant (CTAB, SDS, or C(12)E(6)). For C(12)E(6) this displacement is only partial, and some HFBII remains at the surface for concentrations greater than the C(12)E(6) cmc. At low pH (pH 3) the patterns of adsorption for HFBII/SDS and HFBII/C(12)E(6) are different. At concentrations just below the surfactant cmc there is now mixed HFBII/surfactant adsorption for both SDS and C(12)E(6). For the HFBII/SDS mixture the structure of the adsorbed layer is more complex in the region immediately below the SDS cmc, resulting from the HFBII/SDS complex formation at the interface.     

Surfactant polymer interactions between strongly interacting cationic surfactants and anionic polyelectrolytes from conductivity and turbidity measurements

The interactions between oppositely charged surfactant/polymer mixtures have been studied using conductivity and turbidity measurements. The dependence of aggregation phenomenon on the chain length and head group modifications of conventional cationic surfactants, i.e., hexadecyl- (HTAB), tetradecyl- (TTAB), and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromides (DTAB) and dimeric cationic surfactants, i.e., decyl- (DeDGB) and dodecyldimethylgemini bromides (DDGB), is investigated. It was observed that cationic surfactants induce cooperative binding with anionic polyelectrolytes at critical aggregation concentration (cac). The cac values are considerably lower than the critical micelle concentration (cmc) values for the same surfactant. After the complete complexation, free micelles are formed at the apparent critical micelle concentration (acmc), which is slightly higher in aqueous polyelectrolyte than in pure water. Among the conventional and dimeric cationic surfactants, DTAB and DeDGB, respectively, have been found to have least interactions with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes.

Specific interactions of poly(4-vinyl phenol) gel with cationic and anionic surfactants

Binding behaviors of ionic surfactants (decyl- and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C(10)TAB, C(12)TAB), sodium decane sulfonate (SDeSo), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)) to poly(4-vinyl phenol) (P4VPh) gel were investigated to elucidate a specific swelling behavior that has been found for P4VPh gel in aqueous solutions of tetraalkylammonium salts. With increasing cationic surfactant concentration, P4VPh gel significantly deswelled and then remarkably reswelled at a concentration somewhat below the respective cmc values. On the other hand, in the case of the anionic surfactants, the gel only showed a marked swelling at a concentration just below the respective cmc values. A similar charge-specific behavior of the surfactants was also found for the P4VPh dispersion system studied with a UV-vis spectroscopy; namely, in the cationic surfactant-P4VPh systems, the turbidity of the dispersion first increased with increasing the surfactant concentration and then decreased. This result suggests that aggregation of P4VPh particles first occurred and finally the particles were solubilized. A red shift followed by a blue shift observed for a pi-pi absorption of phenol at around 278 nm was also consistent with the aggregation-solubilization behavior. In the anionic surfactant-P4VPh system, however, only solubilization of the polymer particle was observed, and the UV peak only showed a blue shift. All these results in the gel and the dispersion systems strongly suggest that the cation-pi interaction is involved in the binding of the cationic surfactants to P4VPh.     

Effect of alkyl chain length, head group and nature of the surfactant on the hydrolysis of 1,3-benzoxazine-2,4-dione and its derivatives

The alkaline hydrolysis of carsalam (2H-1,3-benzoxazine-2,4(3H)-dione), denoted as I, and its N-substituted derivatives i.e., N-methyl-1,3-benzoxazine-2,4-dione (II) and N-benzoyl-1,3-benzoxazine-2,4-dione (III) was studied spectrophotometrically at physiological temperature. The rate of hydrolysis was found to be independent on the substrate concentration. In case of I, the reaction was fractional order with respect to [OH(-)] while for II and III, reaction obeyed the first order kinetics. Effect of cationic surfactants with varying hydrophobic chains (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, TTAB and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, DTAB) and with different head-group (cetyl pyridinium chloride, CPC) and anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) was also seen on the rate of alkaline hydrolysis of the carsalam and its derivatives. Cationic surfactants first catalyzed the rate of hydrolysis at lower concentrations followed by the inhibition at higher concentrations. The length of the alkyl chain had remarkable effect on the catalytic efficiency of the surfactants. Similarly N-substitution on substrate also increased the catalysis by micelles. The anionic surfactant SDS inhibited the rate of hydrolysis at all of the concentrations studied. The catalysis by cationic micelles followed by inhibition was treated in terms of the pseudophase ion-exchange model, while for the inhibition by SDS micelles the Menger-Portnoy model was used to fit the data. The effect of salts (NaCl, NaBr and (CH(3))(4)NBr) was also seen on the hydrolysis of II and it was found that all salts inhibited the rate of reaction. The inhibition follows the trend NaCl相似文献   

Investigation of oxidation and tautomerization of a recently synthesized Schiff base in micellar media using multivariate curve resolution alternative least squares and rank annihilation factor analysis methods

The oxidation of the recently synthesized Schiff base 3,6-bis((2-aminoethyl-5-Br-salicyliden)thio)pyridazine (PABST) with hydrogen peroxide was investigated using spectrophotometric studies. The reaction rate order and observed rate constant of the oxidation reaction was obtained in the mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF):water (30:70, v/v) at pH 10 using multivariate cure resolution alternative least squares (MCR-ALS) method and rank annihilation factor analysis (RAFA). The effective parameters on the oxidation rate constant such as percents of DMF, the effect of transition metals like Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺ and Hg²⁺ and the presence of surfactants were investigated. The keto-enol equilibria in DMF:water (30:70, v/v) solution at pH 7.6 was also investigated in the presence of surfactants. At concentrations above critical micelle concentration (cmc) of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), the keto form was the predominant species, while at concentrations above cmc of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the enol form was the predominant species. The kinetic reaction order and the rate constant of tautomerization in micellar medium were obtained using MCR-ALS and RAFA. The results obtained by both the methods were in a good agreement with each other. Also the effect of different volume percents of DMF on the rate constant of tautomerization was investigated. The neutral surfactant (Triton X-100) had no effect on tautomerization equilibrium.     

Experimental and theoretical investigation of the micellar-assisted solubilization of ibuprofen in aqueous media

Surfactants can be used to increase the solubility of poorly soluble drugs in water and to increase drug bioavailability. In this article, the aqueous solubilization of the nonsteroidal, antiinflammatory drug ibuprofen is studied experimentally and theoretically in micellar solutions of anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), cationic (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, DTAB), and nonionic (dodecyl octa(ethylene oxide), C12E8) surfactants possessing the same hydrocarbon "tail" length but differing in their hydrophilic headgroups. We find that, for these three surfactants, the aqueous solubility of ibuprofen increases linearly with increasing surfactant concentration. In particular, we observed a 16-fold increase in the solubility of ibuprofen relative to that in the aqueous buffer upon the addition of 80 mM DTAB and 80 mM C12E8 but only a 5.5-fold solubility increase upon the addition of 80 mM SDS. The highest value of the molar solubilization capacity (chi) was obtained for DTAB (chi = 0.97), followed by C12E8 (chi = 0.72) and finally by SDS (chi = 0.23). A recently developed computer simulation/molecular-thermodynamic modeling approach was extended to predict theoretically the solubilization behavior of the three ibuprofen/surfactant mixtures considered. In this modeling approach, molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations were used to identify which portions of ibuprofen are exposed to water (hydrated) in a micellar environment by simulating a single ibuprofen molecule at an oil/water interface (modeling the micelle core/water interface). On the basis of this input, molecular-thermodynamic modeling was then implemented to predict (i) the micellar composition as a function of surfactant concentration, (ii) the aqueous solubility of ibuprofen as a function of surfactant concentration, and (iii) the molar solubilization capacity (chi). Our theoretical results on the solubility of ibuprofen in aqueous SDS and C12E8 surfactant solutions are in good agreement with the experimental data. The ibuprofen solubility in aqueous DTAB solutions was somewhat overpredicted because of challenges associated with accurately modeling the strong electrostatic interactions between the anionic ibuprofen and the cationic DTAB. Our results indicate that computer simulations of ibuprofen at a flat oil/water interface can be used to obtain accurate information about the hydrated and the unhydrated portions of ibuprofen in a micellar environment. This information can then be used as input to a molecular-thermodynamic model of self-assembly to successfully predict the aqueous solubilization behavior of ibuprofen in the three surfactant systems studied.

Sorption of a fluorescent whitening agent (Tinopal CBS) onto modified cellulose fibers in the presence of surfactants and salt

The combined effect of salt (10 mmol L(-1)) and surfactants on the sorption of the fluorescent brightener 4,4'-distyrylbiphenyl sodium sulfonate (Tinopal CBS) onto modified cellulose fibers was studied. Sorption efficiencies with both cationic and anionic surfactants were evaluated. Emission spectroscopy was used for quantitative analysis since Tinopal has an intense fluorescence. The sorption efficiency of the brightener is greater for solutions containing a cationic surfactant (DTAC) below the critical micelle concentration (cmc), while for an anionic surfactant (SDS) above its cmc the efficiency is greater. The profile of the sorption isotherms were interpreted in terms of the evolution of surfactant aggregation at the fiber/solution interface. Salt influences the efficiency of the Tinopal sorption on the modified cellulose fibers either because it decreases the cmc of the surfactants or because the ions screen the surface charges of the fiber which decreases the electrostatic interaction among the charged headgroup of the surfactant and the charged fiber surface.

Micellar effects upon the basic hydrolysis of 2,7-bis(diethylamino)phenazoxonium chloride

The effect of cationic and anionic surfactants on the reaction of Basic Blue 3 (2,7-bis(diethylamino)phenazoxonium chloride, 1) with hydroxide ion has been studied. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), cetyl and tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC and MTAC) enhance the rate of basic hydrolysis whereas sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has an inhibitory effect. The extent of micellar catalysis is reduced by the addition of organic solvents. The results have been analyzed on the basis of the pseudophase ion-exchange model [1–3].

Spectroscopic investigations in molecularly organized solvent media. Part 3. Examination of the nitromethane selective quenching rule in aqueous anionic + cationic and anionic + nonionic mixed surfactant solutions

Applicability of the nitromethane selective quenching rule for discriminating between alternant versus nonalternant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is examined for 20 representative PAH solutes dissolved in micellar sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) + cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), SDS + dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), SDS + Brij-35, and SDS + sodium octanoate (SO) mixed surfactant solvent media. Experimental results show that nitromethane quenched fluorescence of all 8 alternant PAHs studied in the four different solvent systems. Unexpected quenching behavior was observed, however, in the case of nonalternant PAHs. Nitromethane quenched fluorescence emission of nonalternant PAHs dissolved in the SDS + SO solvent media, which is contrary to the selective quenching rule. In the case of the mixed anionic + cationic surfactant solvent media, nitromethane quenching selectivity was restored at concentration ratios of approximately 4?:?1 (anionic:cationic) or less.
