Kovats and lee retention indices determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for organic compounds of environmental interest

Retention indices of standard organic compounds of environmental interest were determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, using a DB-5 fused-silica capillary column. Retention indices are useful references for tentative compound identification by gas chromatography, or confirmation by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. They provide elution order for isomers that might be indistinguishable based on mass spectra. Modified Kovats and Lee retention indices are given for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; sulfur heterocycles; nitrogen heterocycles; aromatic amines; oxygen heterocycles; phenols; alcohols; ketones; alkanes; nitriles; and methylesters of fatty, dicarboxylic, and aromatic acids for comparison and reference. Retention index values for heterocycles by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry are comparable with gas chromatography values previously reported.     

Micro-machined planar field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometer as a gas chromatographic detector

A planar high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometer (PFAIMS) with a micro-machined drift tube was characterized as a detector for capillary gas chromatography. The performance of the PFAIMS was compared directly to that of a flame ionization detector (FID) for the separation of a ketone mixture from butanone to decanone. Effluent from the column was continuously sampled by the detector and mobility scans could be obtained throughout the chromatographic analysis providing chemical inforrmation in mobility scans orthogonal to retention time. Limits of detection were approximately I ng for measurement of positive ions and were comparable or slightly better than those for the FID. Direct comparison of calibration curves for the FAIMS and the FID was possible over four orders of magnitude with a semi-log plot. The concentration dependence of the PFAIMS mobility scans showed the dependence between ion intensity and ion clustering, evident in other mobility spectrometers and atmospheric pressure ionization technologies. Ions were identified using mass spectrometry as the protonated monomer and the proton bound dimer of the ketones. Residence time for column effluent in the PFAIMS was calculated as approximately 1 ms and a 36% increase in extra-column broadening versus the FID occurred with the PFAIMS.     

Alkane/Alcohol mixed monolayers at the solid/liquid interface

In this work, we present the behavior of solid monolayers of binary mixtures of alkanes and alcohols adsorbed on the surface of graphite from their liquid mixtures. We demonstrate that solid monolayers form for all the combinations investigated here. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used to identify the surface phase behavior of these mixtures, and elastic neutron incoherent scattering has been used to determine the composition of the mixed monolayers inferred by the calorimetry. The mixing behavior of the alcohol/alkane monolayer mixtures is compared quantitatively with alkane/alkane and alcohol/alcohol mixtures using a regular solution approach to model the incomplete mixing in the solid monolayer with preferential adsorption determining the surface composition. This analysis indicates the preferential adsorption of alcohols over alkanes of comparable alkyl chain length and even preferential adsorption of shorter alcohols over longer alkanes, which contrasts strongly with mixtures of alkane/alkane and alcohol/alcohol of different alkyl chain lengths where the longer homologue is always found to preferentially adsorb over the shorter. The alcohol/alkane mixtures are all found to phase separate to a significant extent in the adsorbed layer mixtures even when molecules are of a similar size. Again, this contrasts strongly with alkane/alkane and alcohol/alcohol mixtures where, although phase separation is found for molecules of significantly different size, good mixing is found for similar size species.     

Evaluation of multi-walled carbon nanotubes as gas chromatographic column packing

Purified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PMWCNTs), activated charcoal and graphitized carbon black (Carbopack B) were used as column packing materials to compare their separation ability and other gas chromatographic behavior for aromatic hydrocarbons, alkanes, halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, esters, and ethers. The results show that PMWCNTs can be an excellent gas chromatographic packing material. Compared to Carbopack B with the same surface area, PMWCNTs had a stronger retention ability, a more homogenous surface and smaller theoretical plate numbers. Polar compounds can present symmetric peaks on PMWCNTs. PMWCNTs were found to be an interesting alternative adsorbent to activated charcoal and Carbopack B as gas chromatographic column packing material for volatile compounds, especially those with relatively low boiling points.     

Characterization of the Influence of Thermal Sterilization on the Volatiles in Flat Peach Juice

This study characterized the effect of thermal sterilization on the volatiles in flat peach juice. In three independent trials, juice samples prepared with flat peaches from Shihezi, Xinjiang, China were divided into groups sterilized at 65, 75, and 85°C for 30?min. The chemical compositions were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry combined with headspace solid-phase microextraction and analyzed by hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis. Fourteen volatiles (seven esters, four alcohols, two aldehydes, and one ketone) were identified as characteristic in fresh peach juice. Esters of thermally treated samples were significantly decreased by threefold (P?相似文献   

Superacid-Catalyzed Oxygenation of Alkanes. [New synthetic methods (26)]

Owing to the ready availability of the starting materials, the functionalization of saturated hydrocarbons for preparing chemical intermediates and products represents an attractive goal. The possibility of converting alkane in a controlled way into alcohols, ketones etc., i.e. to oxyfunctionalize them, is particularly challenging. After a short account of previous methods used for the oxidation of alkanes, particular emphasis will be given to recently developed reactions of alkanes with oxygenating agents in superacidic media.

Phenomenon of dual‐ and single‐retention behaviors of solutes and its validation by computational simulation in linear programmed temperature gas chromatography

The current theory of programmed temperature gas chromatography considers that solutes are focused by the stationary phase at the column head completely and does not explicitly recognize the different effects of initial temperature (T_o) and heating rate (r_T) on the retention time or temperature of a homologue series. In the present study, n‐alkanes, 1‐alkenes, 1‐alkyl alcohols, alkyl benzenes, and fatty acid methyl esters standards were used as model chemicals and were separated on two nonpolar columns, one moderately polar column and one polar column. Effects of T_o and r_T on the retention of nonstationary phase focusing solutes can be explicitly described with isothermal and cubic equation models, respectively. When the solutes were in the stationary phase focusing status, the single‐retention behavior of solutes was observed. It is simple, dependent upon r_T only and can be well described by the cubic equation model that was visualized through four sequential slope analyses. These observed dual‐ and single‐retention behaviors of solutes were validated by various experimental data, physical properties, and computational simulation.

Chemical composition determination of complex organic-aqueous mixtures of alcohols, acetone, acetonitrile, hydrocarbons and water by near-infrared spectroscopy

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with chemometric techniques has provided fast and precise methods for quality control in the petrochemical industry. In the present work, NIRS multivariate models were used to predict the chemical composition of an organic-aqueous solvent used in an isoprene production plant. The models were developed to predict the mass percent concentration of the components present in the solvent, namely water, acetonitrile, acetone, n-propanol, i-propanol, t-butanol, allyl alcohol and 1,3-dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) plus codimers. Each component concentration was estimated from FT-NIR spectra within the 7300-3900 cm⁻¹ region, using the whole range or only selected regions. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for exploratory data analysis and partial least-squares models were employed for calibration based on at least 70 samples. The models’ accuracy, in terms of deviation from the primary method (gas chromatography) results, was also confirmed using external validation sets and expressed by the standard error of prediction (SEP) which ranged from 0.18 to 1.27% (w/w). Therefore, the feasibility of performing the chemical composition analysis required for process control of the isoprene unit solvent has been demonstrated. The simple and fast procedure, based on a single NIR spectrum, was able to differentiate between spectroscopic features of water, hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones and nitrile compounds present in a complex organic-aqueous sample.     

Separation, detection and occurrence of (C2–C8)-alkyl- and phenyl-alkyl nitrates as trace compounds in clean and polluted air

Nitric acid, HNO₃, and nitrous acid, HNO₂, are forming stable esters with alcohols, the alkyl nitrates and alkyl nitrites. Both groups of compounds are used as fuel additives, explosives and pharmaceuticals. Alkyl nitrates are also formed as complex mixtures during incomplete combustion and the abiotic transformation of alkanes, alkenes and aldehydes in air. Organic nitrates can be assigned to anthropogenic and natural sources alike. Here the synthesis of reference mixtures of alkyl nitrates is described starting with alcohols, alkyl bromides, alkyl iodides or alkanes, respectively, sampling techniques in air analysis, and the separation of alkyl nitrates and alkyl dinitrates by high resolution capillary gas chromatography using various stationary phases and electron capture (HRGC/ECD) as well as mass spectrometric detection (HRGC/MSD). A highly selective detection mode for alkyl nitrates and alkyl di- and trinitrates — in general in the presence of other organic trace compounds — is the single ion monitoring of 46 amu in GC/MS. The separation and occurrence of alkyl- and phenyl-alkyl nitrates in polluted air is reported using capillary gas chromatography with electron capture and ion trap MS detection. The reaction of alkanes with nitric acid at room temperature simulates in a good approximation the pattern of alkyl nitrates formed in air chemistry.     

Direct trace determination of organic compounds in aqueous solutions by capillary gas chromatography

The possibility of the direct determination of methyl alkyl ketones with four to eight carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and heterocyclic compounds (2-acetylpyridine, 2,3-diethylpyrazine, and 2-acetylthiophene) in aqueous solutions at a level ofn × 10^-3 vol % by gas chromatography with the injection of samples into an open tubular column with carrier gas flow splitting is studied. A significant effect of the calibration plot relating the concentration and the relative area of a gas-chromatographic peak on the results of determination is demonstrated. Factors that make it possible to optimize the calibration process, increase the rapidness of analysis, and decrease the relative error in the determination of organic compounds in water to 3% are discussed. Model mixtures of compounds were analyzed on a open tubular column with the nonpolar OV-101/KF stationary phase, which is stable in work with aqueous solutions for three years     

Wet effluent diffusion denuder technique and determination of volatile organic compounds in air. I. Oxo compounds (alcohols and ketones)

The wet effluent diffusion denuder (WEDD) preconcentration technique for the determination of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone and methyl n-propyl ketone in air is discussed. The compounds are continuously collected into a thin film of deionized water flowing down the inner wall of the cylindrical wet effluent diffusion denuder. The concentrate is analysed by gas chromatography. Detection limits of alcohols and ketones are as low as 1 microg/l (GC-flame ionization detection) and/or 1 ng/l (GC-MS). This technique could be applicable for the continuous monitoring of ppb (v/v) levels of both alcohols and ketones in the air.     

Improving selectivity in gas chromatography by using chemically modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes as stationary phase

Amino-terminated alkyl MWCNTs (MWCNTs-R-NH₂), synthesized by chemical modification of the nanotube skeleton by nucleophilic substitution with 2,2′-(ethylenedioxy)diethylamine, were successfully used as stationary phases for gas chromatographic separation of esters and chloroaromatics. The presence of alkyl chains with polar embedded groups made the functionalized MWCNTs (f-MWCNTs) a mixed-mode GC separation material able to interact in different ways with the analytes. Compared with non-functionalized MWCNTs (nf-MWCNTs), MWCNTs-R-NH₂ had higher selectivity, enhanced resolution, and optimum retention behaviour, and they were proved to perform better than the commercial stationary phase Porapak QS (PQS), claimed to be suitable for similar applications. The so-prepared stationary phase was used for analysis of a synthetic mixture containing different classes of analytes, viz. esters, ketones, alcohols, alkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons, and finally used for investigation of similar real matrices. In particular, the constituents of a commercial paint thinner were determined by direct injection of the sample, with good reproducibility (inter-day precision RSDs from 5 to 19%). Two unknown samples of commercial white spirit were also analysed for determination of the aromatic hydrocarbon content, and their composition was profiled on the basis of the different compounds identified.     

Identification of chemical components in Baidianling Capsule based on gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and high‐performance liquid chromatography combined with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry

Baidianling Capsule, which is made from 16 Chinese herbs, has been widely used for treating vitiligo clinically. In this study, the sensitive and rapid method has been developed for the analysis of chemical components in Baidianling Capsule by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry in combination with retention indices and high‐performance liquid chromatography combined with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Firstly, a total of 110 potential volatile compounds obtained from different extraction procedures including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, ketones, ethers, aldehydes, alcohols, phenols, organic acids, esters, furans, pyrrole, acid amides, heterocycles, and oxides were detected from Baidianling Capsule by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, of which 75 were identified by mass spectrometry in combination with the retention index. Then, a total of 124 components were tentatively identified by high‐performance liquid chromatography combined with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Fifteen constituents from Baidianling Capsule were accurately identified by comparing the retention times with those of reference compounds, others were identified by comparing the retention times and mass spectrometry data, as well as retrieving the reference literature. This study provides a practical strategy for rapidly screening and identifying the multiple constituents of a complex traditional Chinese medicine.     

Solvent‐Free Photooxidation of Alkanes by Dioxygen with 2,3‐Dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐p‐benzoquinone via Photoinduced Electron Transfer

Photooxidation of alkanes by dioxygen occurred under visible light irradiation of 2,3‐dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐p‐benzoquinone (DDQ) which acts as a super photooxidant. Solvent‐free hydroxylation of cyclohexane and alkanes is initiated by electron transfer from alkanes to the singlet and triplet excited states of DDQ to afford the corresponding radical cations and DDQ^??, as revealed by femtosecond laser‐induced transient absorption measurements. Alkane radical cations readily deprotonate to produce alkyl radicals, which react with dioxygen to afford alkylperoxyl radicals. Alkylperoxyl radicals abstract hydrogen atoms from alkanes to yield alkyl hydroperoxides, accompanied by regeneration of alkyl radicals to constitute the radical chain reactions, so called autoxidation. The radical chain is terminated in the bimolecular reactions of alkylperoxyl radicals to yield the corresponding alcohols and ketones. DDQ^??, produced by the photoinduced electron transfer from alkanes to the excited state of DDQ, disproportionates with protons to yield DDQH₂.     

Headspace gas chromatographic separation of toxic organic impurities from air

Summary To determine toxic organic compounds (methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone) in air a method was developed for their headspace gas chromatographic analysis with preconcentration in n-butanol (alcohols) and in n-pentanol (ketones). The distribution coefficients of analytes in the air-absorbent system have been measured: 1051 (MeOH), 5630 (EtOH), 6773 (n-PrOH), 307 (Me₂CO), 580 (MeCOEt), 1035 (MeCOBu-i). The minimum detectable level (mg m⁻³) was determined as low as 0.9 (MeOH), 4.0 (EtOH), 0.9 (n-PrOH), 0.2 (Me₂CO), 0.1 (MeCOEt), 0.4 (MeCOBu-i). The method was effectively used for gas effluent air control in the workplace and in the atmosphere. Presented at the 21^st ISC held in Stuttgart, Germany, 15^th–20^th September, 1996
