Ternary Complex Nickel(II)/3-(4′,5′-Dimethyl-2′-Thiazolylazo)-2,6-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid/Cyanide. Spectrophotometric Determination of Nickel

Abstract

A spectrophotometric method for nickel has been developed based on the formation of a ternary complex in the system Ni(II)/3-(4′,5′-dimethyl-2′-thiazolylazo)-2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid/cyanide at pH 9.2 (borate buffer), which allows the determination of 0.05–0.47ppm of nickel (ε = 3.53×10⁴ 1.mol^?1. cm^?1) at 538nm. Interferences have been studied and the method applied to the determination of nickel in low alloy steels.     

3,6,6-trimethyl-4-oxo-1-(2-pyridyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole in Schmidt reaction and Beckmann rearrangement conditions for the 4-hydroxyimino derivative

Treatment of 3,6,6-trimethyl-4-oxo-1-(2-pyridyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole with sodium azide in acids gives 3,7,7-trimethyl-5-oxo-1-(2-pyridyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro(4H)pyrazolo[4,3-b]azepine. Heating 1-(2-pyridyl)-3,6,6-trimethyl- and 1-phenyl-6,6-dimethyl-4-hydroxyimino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles in polyphosphoric acid gives 1-phenyl-5,6-dimethyl- and 1-(2-pyridyl)-3,5,6-trimethyl-4-aminoindazole respectively: The reactions of the latter with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde gave the 4-(4-dimethylaminobenzalamino) derivative and with 2-formyldimedone the 4-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohexylidenemethylamino) derivative.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 830–834, June, 2000.     

Simons electrochemical fluorination of substituted homopiperazines(hexahydro-1,4-diazepines) and piperazines

Simons electrochemical fluorination (ECF) of 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-homopiperazine, methyl 4-ethylhomopiperazin-1-ylacetate and 1,4-bis(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-1,4-homopiperazine was studied. For comparison, ECF of three piperazines with a N-(methoxycarbonylmethyl) group(s) was also studied. ECF of 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-homopiperazine gave a low yield of corresponding perfluoro(1,4-dimethyl-1,4-homopiperazine) together with perfluoro(2,6-diaza-2,6-dimethylheptane) as the major product. Corresponding perfluoro(homopiperazines) with mono- and/or di-(fluorocarbonyldifluoromethyl) groups [CF₂C(O)F] at the 1- and/or 4-position were formed in low yields from methyl 4-ethylhomopiperazin-1-ylacetate and 1,4-bis(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-1,4-homopiperazine, respectively. These new seven-membered perfluoro(1,4-dialkyl-1,4-homopiperazines) were accompanied by the formation of mono- and/or di-basic linear perfluoroacid fluorides resulting from the CC bond scission at the 2- and 3-positions of the ring. From mono- and/or di-N-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-substituted piperazines, corresponding perfluoropeperazines having the acid fluoride group(s) were formed in low yields.     

Absolute configuration and anti-hypercholesterolemic activity of (+)- and (−)-4-(2,6-dimethylheptyl)benzoic acids

The biologically inactive (+)-enantiomer of 4-(2,6-dimethylheptyl)benzoic acid was converted into the known (R)-3,7-dimethyloctanol withee≥96% by ozonolysis followed by a two-step reduction of the ozonide. This confirmed theR configuration of the starting acid, theS configuration of its biologically active levorotatory antipode, and the absolute configurations assigned to their synthetic precursors.

Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against urea derivatives

A panel of monoclonal antibodies was generated against the ureabased haptenN-(2-N-chloroacetylaminobenzyl)-N′-4-chlorophenylurea as a tool for building up sensitive immune assays to detect urea derivatives and to screen them for catalytic antibodies (Abs). Eleven hybridomas were obtained that produced Abs reactive to the hapten. All Abs were of IgG class. Crossreactivities of the Abs to different haptens were examined, especially to a possible transition-state analog. Only four of the hybridomas (R2-DA10/F7, R2-GE7/H2, R2-HC2/A5, R2-HD6/F7) produced Abs crossreactive with the transition-state analog. From the 11 hybridomas, hybridoma B76-BF5 was chosen for further characterization. Compared to the other Abs, B76-BF5 showed the strongest binding and had a rather restricted specificity. These Abs could be used to build up a sensitive enzyme immunoassay for the detection of the hapten. All Abs were screened for crossreactivity with the pesticides monuron and diuron. No reactivity could be detected. In addition, the nucleotide sequences of the variable light and heavy chain genes of the similarly reactive Abs B76-BF5, B76-BB3, R2-DA10/F7, and R2-GA6/G3 were determined to clarify whether structure and binding specificity of these Abs showed any correlation.     

Selection of hapten structures for indirect immunosensor arrays

A multianalyte immunosensor array can be implemented by immobilization of different haptens in distinct areas of a single cavity or flow cell. In this case a mixture of different antibodies for different analytes is used in an indirect ELISA-format. The selection of the right hapten structures is very important to build up an array successfully. A system of independent hapten/antibody combinations is needed, with one immobilized hapten (coating antigen) reacting only with one antibody. If more than one antibody binds to a coating antigen no ideal calibration curves are obtained. This phenomenon is known as shared-reactivity and can lead to double-sigmoidal curves. To use monoclonal antibodies to 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), two different haptens had to be found, one only reacting with the TNT-antibody, the other only binding to the 2,4-D-antibody. 2,4-Dichlorophenoxybutyric acid was used for the 2,4-D antibody and 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-8-aminooctanoic acid for the TNT antibody. Although 4-nitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene and 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene showed only very low cross-reactivities to the 2,4-D antibody the corresponding haptens 4-nitrophenylacetic acid, 2,4-dinitrophenyl-6-aminohexanonic acid, and 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluyl-(N)-glutarate are useful coating antigens for this antibody. The structure of the coating antigens had no significant influence on the midpoints (IC50) of the test for 2,4-D and even haptens with very low cross-reactivities could be used. With all haptens a test midpoint of about 0.2 μg/L for 2,4-D was achieved. For the direct assay format with immobilized antibodies the same test midpoint of 0.2 μg/L for 2,4-D was obtained. As a conclusion, the selectivity of a monoclonal antibody should not be influenced by the used tracer or coating antigen as well. It could be shown that the affinity constants of an antibody to the analytes are the main sensitivity and selectivity determining parameters for competitive immunoassays. A two-dimensional microtiter plate array was used to determine the analytes 2,4-D and TNT in parallel with a mixture of antibodies.

Synthesis and properties of aromatic polyamides derived from 2,6-bis(4-aminophenoxy)naphthalene and various aromatic dicarboxylic acids

2,6-Bis(4-aminophenoxy)naphthalene (2,6-BAPON) was synthesized in two steps from the condensation of 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene with p-chloronitrobenzene in the presence of potassium carbonate, giving 2,6-bis(4-nitrophenoxy)naphthalene, followed by hydrazine hydrate/Pd—C reduction. A series of new polyamides were synthesized by the direct polycondensation of 2,6-BAPON with various aromatic dicarboxylic acids in the N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solution containing dissolved metal salts such as CaCl₂ or LiCl using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents. The polymers were obtained in quantitative yields with inherent viscosities of 0.62–2.50 dL/g. Most of the polymers were soluble in aprotic dipolar solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and NMP, and they could be solution cast into transparent, flexible, and tough films. The casting films had yield strengths of 84–105 MPa, tensile strengths of 68–95 MPa, elongations at break of 8–36%, and tensile moduli of 1.4–2.1 GPa. The glass transition temperatures of the polyamides were in the range 155–225°C, and their 10% weight loss temperatures were above 505°C in nitrogen and above 474°C in air. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

4-Oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolinyl- and Benzimidazolylacetonitriles in Annelation Reactions of a Haloquinoline Ring

The interaction of 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolinyl- and benzimidazolylacetonitriles with 2,6-dihalobenzaldehydes leads to 3-(2,6-dihalophenyl)-2-(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolinyl)acrylonitriles and 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-3-(2,6-dihalophenyl)acrylonitriles respectively. As a result of intramolecular cyclization of these nitriles 4-halo-12-oxo-12H-quino[2,1-b]quinazoline-6-carbonitriles and 4-halobenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]quinoline-6-carbonitriles respectively are formed.     

Determination of Dopamine Using 2-(4-Boronophenyl)quinoline-4-carboxylic Acids as Fluorescent Probes

The selective identification of dopamine is a significant issue because this compound is an important neurotransmitter closely related to Parkinson’s disease and other mental disorders. 2-(4-Boronophenyl)quinoline-4-carboxylic acid (PBAQA) has been previously reported as a water-soluble fluorescent probe for catechol. However, there are no significant differences in the binding constants between catechol and catecholamines, such as dopamine or levodopa. Here a series of bis-boronic acid compounds based on PBAQA were synthesized and the binding activities were characterized. As a representative compound, the binding constant of 4-(4-((3-(3-borono-4-chlorobenzamido)propyl)carbamoyl)quinolin-2-yl)boronic acid to dopamine is up to 10⁴?L?mol^?1 and much higher than previously reported boronic acid probes. Dopamine selectivity may be achieved by the variation of the substituents in the probe molecules. 4-(4-((3-(3-Borono-4-methoxybenzamido)propyl)carbamoyl)quinolin-2-yl)boronic acid has a stronger binding affinity to dopamine (K_a=5204?±?106?L?mol^?1) than catechol (K_a=2588?±?273?L?mol^?1) or levodopa (K_a=2383?±?273?L?mol^?1). This fluorescence response was used for determining dopamine in a range from 5?×?10^?5?mol?L^?1 to 5?×?10^?4?mol?L^?1 with a detection limit of 7.7?×?10^?6?mol?L^?1. This compound has been successfully used for the assay of dopamine in rabbit plasma, exhibiting excellent specificity. It is believed that synthesized compounds hold great promise as practical platforms to monitor dopamine levels.

The synthesis of 4-(3,3-dimethyl-2-exo-norbornyl)-2-methyl-2-buten-1-ol (5), an analogue of -santalol (1) has been described. One route to5 starts with isocamphenilanyl propionic acid (8) which can be prepared in 4 steps from isocamphenilanic acid (9). Also 4 steps lead from8 to the target molecule5 with an overall yield of 24%. By a second and more convergent route, starting from the very easily obtainable bicyclic ketone19, the allylic alcohol5 could be obtained again in 4 steps, but this time with an overall yield of 1.3%. A new and easy synthesis of isocamphenilanyl acetic acid (15), a potential starting material to5, has been described, also the preparation of some new isocamphane derivatives.

New poly(amide–imide) syntheses. XXI. Synthesis and properties of aromatic poly(amide–imide)s based on 2,6-bis(4-trimellitimidophenoxy)naphthalene and aromatic diamines

A novel polymer-forming diimide–diacid, 2,6-bis(4-trimellitimidophenoxy)naphthalene, was prepared by the condensation reaction of 2,6-bis(4-aminophenoxy)naphthalene with trimellitic anhydride (TMA). A series of novel aromatic poly(amide–imide)s containing 2,6-bis(phenoxy)naphthalene units were prepared by the direct polycondensation of the diimide–diacid with various aromatic diamines using triphenyl phosphite (TPP) in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)/pyridine solution containing dissolved calcium chloride. Thirteen of the obtained polymers had inherent viscosities above 1.01 dL/g and up to 2.30 dL/g. Most of polymers were soluble in polar solvents such as DMAc and could be cast from their DMAc solutions into transparent, flexible, and tough films. These films had tensile strengths of 79–117 MPa, elongation-at-break of 7–61%, and initial moduli of 2.2–3.0 GPa. The wide-angle X-ray diffraction revealed that some polymers are partially crystalline. The glass transition temperatures of some polymers could be determined with the help of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) traces, which were recorded in the range 232–300°C. All the poly(amide–imide)s exhibited no appreciable decomposition below 450°C, and their 10% weight loss temperatures were recorded in the range 511–577°C in nitrogen and 497–601°C in air. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Organosoluble,low dielectric constant and highly transparent fluorinated pyridine-containing poly(ether imide)s derived from new diamine: 4-(4-trifluoromethyl)phenyl-2,6-bis[4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl]pyridine

A new aromatic diamine, 4-(4-trifluoromethyl)phenyl-2,6-bis[4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenyl]pyridine, was synthesized by a modified Chichibabin reaction of 4-(4-nitro-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)acetophenone with 4-triflouromethylbenzaldehyde, followed by catalytic reduction. A series of fluorinated pyridine-containing aromatic poly(ether imide)s (PEIs) were prepared from the diamine monomer with various aromatic dianhydrides via conventional two-step thermal imidization method. The resulting PEIs had inherent viscosities values of 0.68–0.90 dL/g, and could be cast and thermally converted into transparent, flexible, and tough polymer films. These PEIs were predominantly amorphous, had good solubility in common solvents such as NMP, DMAc and m-cresol at room temperature, and displayed excellent thermal stability with the glass transition temperatures of 258–315?°C, the temperatures at 5% weight loss of 550–585?°C, and the residue of higher than 55% at 750?°C in nitrogen. Moreover, the PEIs films showed outstanding mechanical properties with tensile strengths of 74.8–103.5?MPa, tensile moduli of 1.08–1.45?GPa, and elongations at break of 10.6–24.4%. These PEIs also exhibited low dielectric constants of 2.81–2.98 (1?MHz) and water uptake 0.39–0.68%, as well as high optical transparency with the UV cutoff wavelength in the 350–378?nm range and the wavelength of 80% transparency in the range of 412–510?nm.
