Cloud Point Studies of Tween and Glycol in the Presence of Salts

This article deals with the cloud point studies of ethoxylated sorbitan ester, Tween in the presence of glycols, and salts. Cloud point temperature of Tween 20 (5 mol dm^?3) and Tween 80 (1 mol dm^?3) has been determined in the presence of various salts in addition to glycols. The glycols chosen for these studies were triethylene glycol (TEG), and ethylene glycol mono butylether (EGMBE). At concentration below 0.02 M these salts have no significant effect on cloud point temperature in all cases. The cloud point temperature of Tween+TEG and Tween+EGMBE found to decrease in the presence of sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl). The cloud point temperature of Tween 20 + TEG and Tween 20 + EGMBE found to increase in the presence of urea and nicotinamide. The change in cloud point was found to be more in case of nicotinamide as compare to urea. The influence of an additive on the cloud point depends on how it affects the intermicellar interactions. An effort has been made to understand the interaction between solvent and additives leading to a change in solubility of Tween.     

Interfacial Composition of Surfactant Aggregates in the Presence of Fragrance: A Chemical Trapping Study

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in daily-use chemical products providing a pleasant scent. The added fragrance molecules may induce microstructural transitions of surfactant aggregates, which further affect the physical and chemical properties of the products. Here, the effects of four types of aromatic alcohols (cinnamyl alcohol, phenyl ethanol, phenyl methanol and anisyl alcohol) on cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/KBr aggregates were studied. The combined results from rheology, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy measurements showed that cinnamyl alcohol induced significant micellar growth, while increases in micellar growth were less obvious for the other aromatic alcohols. The changes in the interfacial molarities of water, aromatic alcohol, and bromide ions during such transitions were studied using the chemical trapping method. Transitions resulting from added cinnamyl alcohol were accompanied by significant declines in interfacial water and bromide ion molarities, and a rise in interfacial alcohol molarity. The marked decrease in interfacial water molarity was not observed in previous studies of the octanol induced formation of wormlike micelles and vesicles, indicating that a different mechanism was presented in the current system. Nuclear magnetic resonance investigation showed that π–π stacking between cinnamyl alcohols, but not cation–π interactions between alcohols and CTAB headgroups, facilitated the tight packing of alcohol molecules in CTAB aggregates and the repulsion of water from the interfacial region. The current study may provide a theoretical basis for the morphological regulation of surfactant aggregates in the presence of additives.     

A Pre-Concentration Procedure Using Cloud Point Extraction for the Determination of Manganese in Saline Effluents of a Petroleum Refinery by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

This paper describes the development of a cloud point extraction procedure for the determination of manganese in saline effluents by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The optimization step was performed using the Doehlert matrix involving the following variables: buffer concentration, pH and centrifugation time. The validation process was assessed as: parameters of the analytical curve, precision, effect of other ions in the proposed procedure, robustness test and accuracy. The proposed procedure allows the determination of manganese with a detection limit (3δ/S) of 0.60 μg L⁻¹, and a precision expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.2 (n = 8) and 1.5% (n = 8) for a manganese concentration of 1 and 5 μg L⁻¹, respectively. The pre-concentration factor obtained was 84. The recovery achieved for the determination of manganese in the presence of several other metal ions demonstrated that this procedure could be satisfactorily applied to the analysis of environmental samples. The accuracy was confirmed by the analysis of CRM trace elements in water (NIST 1643d). This procedure was applied to the determination of manganese in saline effluents of a petroleum refinery. For three analyzed samples the manganese content varied between 44.9 and 67.9 μg L⁻¹.     

A Convenient and Environmentally Benign Method of Reducing Aryl Ketones or Aldehydes by Zinc Powder in an Aqueous Alkaline Solution

A convenient and environmentally benign method for reducing the carbonyl group in hydroxy- and amino- 9,10-anthracenediones, ortho （or para） acyl phenols and acyl anilines to a methylene group by zinc powder in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was reported. Based on theoretical calculations using the density functional theory （DFT）, the mechanism of these reduction reactions was postulated. This mechanism can be applied to help predicting the reduced products of aryl ketones （or aldehydes） in an alkaline solution.     

A Facile Method to Determine the Absolute Structure of Achiral Molecules: Supramolecular‐Tilt Structures

Achiral compounds 4‐methoxy‐4‐(p‐methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanoneethylene ketal ( 2 ), 4‐hydroxy‐4‐(p‐methoxy phenyl)cyclohexanoneethylene ketal ( 3 ), and 3,5‐dimethyl‐4‐nitropyrazole ( 4 ) crystallized in chiral structures and the samples showed an enantiomeric excess. We have determined the absolute structures of these compounds by using X‐ray diffraction with copper radiation at low temperatures. Moreover, we have also established the prevalent absolute structures in these samples, by comparing their calculated and solid‐state vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra. The consistency of this method was confirmed by using (R,R)‐2,8‐diiodo‐4,10‐dimethyl‐6 H,12H‐5,11‐methano‐dibenzo[b,f][1,5]diazocine, Tröger′s base, (R,R)‐ 1 , as a chiral compound of known absolute configuration.     

Catalytic Oxidation of Alcohols to Corresponding Aldehydes or Ketones with TEMPO-Mediated Iodosobenzene in Water in the Presence of a Surfactant

An efficient, facile, and rapid oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones with a stoichiometric amount of iodosobenzene (PhIO) in the presence of catalytic amounts of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxyl free radical (TEMPO), KBr, and a surfactant, such as SDS (sodium dodecylsulfate), was reported. The oxidation proceeded in water at room temperature to afford aldehydes or ketones in excellent yields and high selectivity without overoxidation to carboxylic acids. Selective oxidation of primary alcohols in the presence of secondary alcohols was also achieved with the catalytic system of PhIO/TEMPO/KBr/SDS. A possible mechanism for the oxidation was supposed.

Successful Application of an Ionic Liquid Carrying the Fluoride Counter‐ion in Biomacromolecular Chemistry: Microwave‐Assisted Acylation of Cellulose in the Presence of 1‐Allyl‐3‐methylimidazolium Fluoride/DMSO Mixtures

The use of ionic liquids with fluoride anion (IL‐F) is challenging because of side reactions. Neat 1‐allyl‐3‐methylimidazolium fluoride (AlMeImF) is used as a solvent in microwave‐assisted acylation of cellulose. The results are disappointing due to side reactions in the IL proper, and F^–‐mediated hydrolysis of the produced ester. A dramatic improvement is observed, when AlMeImF/DMSO mixture is employed. The results are comparable to those obtained when pure 1‐allyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride is employed. FTIR spectroscopy shows that dissolving a carboxylic acid anhydride in IL‐F leads to the formation of acyl fluoride. Thus ILs are far from being “spectator” solvents. The new approach (use of IL‐F/DMSO) is attractive because of its efficiency, low cost, and applicability to the derivatization of any polymer.

     

A Novel Catalytic Method for the Oxidation of Sulfides to Sulfoxides with Silica Sulfuric Acid and Sodium Nitrite in the Presence of KBr and/or NaBr as Catalyst

Highly efficient selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides by NaNO₂ and silica sulfuric acid catalyzed with KBr or NaBr has been reported. This oxidation was carried out in the presence of wet SiO₂ (50% w/w) in acetonitrile at room temperature with good to excellent yields.     

Unexpected Cyclization of Dipyridyl-glycoluril in the Presence of Formaldehyde and Strong Acid: A New Scaffold with a Potential as an Anion Receptor

In an attempted synthesis of peripherally pyridine-substituted cucurbituril, an unexpected cyclized product was obtained. A careful NMR analysis followed by mass spectrometry and preliminary crystallographic analyses, helped us in resolving the structure. The structure has two quaternized pyridine functionalities and a groove suitable as a potential receptor site. In addition, just like the parent glycoluril structure, two remaining urea-derived nitrogens can be alkylated by alkyl halides. Thus, we believe this high yielding reaction may become an entry point to a new class of anion receptors.     

Daptomycin: A Novel Macrocyclic Antibiotic as a Chiral Selector in an Organic Polymer Monolithic Capillary for the Enantioselective Analysis of a Set of Pharmaceuticals

Daptomycin, a macrocyclic antibiotic, is here used as a new chiral selector in preparation of chiral stationary phase (CSP) in a recently prepared polymer monolithic capillary. The latter is prepared using the copolymerization of the monomers glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) in the presence of daptomycin in water. Under reversed phase conditions (RP), the prepared capillaries were tested for the enantioselective nanoliquid chromatographic separation of fifty of the racemic drugs of different pharmacological groups, such as adrenergic blockers, H1-blockers, NSAIDs, antifungal drugs, and others. Baseline separation was attained for many drugs under RP-HPLC. Daptomycin expands the horizon of chiral selectors in HPLC.     

Reaction of 3‐Hydroxyquinoline‐2,4‐diones with Inorganic Thiocyanates in the Presence of Ammonium or Alkylammonium Ions: the Unexpected Replacement of a Hydroxy Group by an Amino Group

3‐Hydroxyquinoline‐2,4‐diones react with KSCN in the presence of the NH$\rm{{_{4}^{+}}}$ ions to generate 2,3‐dihydro‐3‐thioxoimidazo[1,5‐c]quinazolin‐5(6H)‐ones, 2,3‐dihydro‐2‐thioxo‐1H‐imidazo[4,5‐c]quinolin‐4(5H)‐ones, and products of molecular rearrangement of the 3‐aminoquinolinedione intermediates. Starting compounds with a benzyl (Bn) group at C(3) afford 3‐aminoquinolinediones, even when only AcONH₄ is used. The results of the reaction between 3‐hydroxyquinoline‐2,4‐diones and KSCN in the presence of BuNH₂ show that replacing a OH group with a secondary NH₂ group is also possible.     

Cold Deposition as a Novel Procedure for the Preparation of Titania Sol‐Gel: A Development of a High Sensitive Electrochemical Method for Determination of Cu(II) in the Presence of Arsenic(III)

Titania sol‐gel modified gold electrode (TSGMGE) was prepared with the usage of a new proposed cold deposition method at ?10 °C. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) operating at 30 kV was used to obtain micrographs of unmodified and modified electrodes. The obtained results showed that this procedure yields a sol‐gel with high porosity in comparison to conventional methods. The modified Au electrode was fabricated by trapping the L‐glutamine in titania sol‐gel at low temperatures to preparation of a new titania sol‐gel glutamine modified gold electrode (TSGGMGE). The possibility determination of traces of Cu(II) in the presence of As(III) was investigated using proposed electrode. Under the optimized conditions, copper was accumulated at ?0.35 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) for 40 s in 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH 4.0) in the presence of different amounts of arsenic. Two dynamic linear responses with good reproducibility were observed for copper ions in the concentration range of 1 × 10^?6 ?4 × 10^?4 M and 4 × 10^?8 ?6 × 10^?7 M.     

Three‐Component Reaction of an Isocyanide and a Dialkyl Acetylenedicarboxylate with a Phenacyl Halide in the Presence of Water: An Efficient Method for the One‐Pot Synthesis of γ‐Iminolactone Derivatives

The zwitterion, formed from the reaction of an alkyl isocyanide and a dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, reacts with phenacyl halides in H₂O to produce γ‐iminolactone derivatives in high yields. H₂O helps to avoid the use of highly toxic and environmentally unfavorable solvents for this conversion.     

The Fukui function of an atom in a molecule: A criterion to characterize the reactive sites of chemical species

The principle of hard and soft acids and bases is interpreted as the result of two opposing tendencies, one related to the charge transfer process (chemical potential equalization principle), and the other one related to the reshuffling of the electronic density (maximum hardness or minimum softness principle). A local version of the principle is elucidated by assuming that these tendencies are dominated by the local properties rather than by the global properties of the molecule. This principle is used together with the Fukui function of the atoms in the molecule to characterize the reactive sites. The results presented for the nucleophilic addition to the pyridinium ion, and for the electrophilic substitution on pyridine oxide show the usefulness of these concepts in describing the inherent reactivity of chemical species.     

Not Limited to Iron: A Cobalt Heme–NO Model Facilitates N–N Coupling with External NO in the Presence of a Lewis Acid to Generate N2O

Some bacterial heme proteins catalyze the coupling of two NO molecules to generate N₂O. We previously reported that a heme Fe–NO model engages in this N?N bond‐forming reaction with NO. We now demonstrate that (OEP)Co^II(NO) similarly reacts with 1 equiv of NO in the presence of the Lewis acids BX₃ (X=F, C₆F₅) to generate N₂O. DFT calculations support retention of the Co^II oxidation state for the experimentally observed adduct (OEP)Co^II(NO?BF₃), the presumed hyponitrite intermediate (P^.+)Co^II(ONNO?BF₃), and the porphyrin π‐radical cation by‐product of this reaction, and that the π‐radical cation formation likely occurs at the hyponitrite stage. In contrast, the Fe analogue undergoes a ferrous‐to‐ferric oxidation state conversion during this reaction. Our work shows that cobalt hemes are chemically competent to engage in the NO‐to‐N₂O conversion reaction.
