Based on pulse radiolysis of aqueous solutions of two salicylic acid derivatives including ethyl salicylate and benzylsalicylate the transient absorption spectra and the rate constants of hydroxyl radical with salicylic acid derivatives were determined for the first time. The results indicated that ethyl salicylate and benzylsalicylate have efficient activities to scavenge hydroxyl radical.     

Mechanism of formation of Cu(II) carboxylates in the solid state 1. Kinetics of reactions between benzoic acid, salicylic acid and CuCO3 Cu(OH)2

The kinetic data for reactions between aromatic acids, i.e. benzoic acid, salicylic acid and basic copper carbonate in the solid state have been recorded. The measurements have been made at various temperatures for fixed sizes of the particles at constant compression. The products are characterised by infrared and reflectance spectra. The reactions are diffusion-controlled with activation energy of 71.8 and 115.0±5 kJ mol⁻¹ for the formation of Cu(II) benzoate and Cu(II) salicylate respectively.     

A novel oxamide rearrangement

An efficient, base-induced rearrangement of 2-[(1,2-dioxo-2-(methylamino)ethyl)phenylamino]benzoic acid methyl ester ( 7a ) to the isomeric 2-[(1,2-dioxo-2-(phenylamino)ethyl)methylamino]benzoic acid methyl ester ( 27a ) is described. This novel rearrangement must proceed through a spiro intermediate wherein benzoate is acting as a Michael receptor. When 2-[(1,2-dioxo-2-(methylamino)ethyl)methylamino]benzoic acid methyl ester ( 28 )-an oxamide which would produce a degenerate spiro intermediate — was subjected to rearrangement conditions, the product obtained was 1,3-dimethyl-2,4-(1H,3H)quinazolinedione ( 29 ). This latter transformation may have proceeded via a benzodiazepinetrione intermediate.

FT-i.r. and Raman spectra of ethyl benzoate. Assignment based on differences between phases,complexation to titanium tetrachloride,isotopic shifts and normal coordinate analysis

Vibrational spectra are given for ethyl benzoate (EB) as liquid, gas and amorphous solid. Assignation is made for the vibrational spectra of the three phases of EB, with the help of data for crystalline EB given in the literature and the crystalline equimolar ethyl benzoate—titanium tetrachloride complex, and assisted with force field calculations.All fundamental vibrations in EB between 100 and 1800 cm⁻¹ are found. The observed frequencies fit a valence force field, developed for five isotopic congeners of EB, with an average deviation of less than 5 cm⁻¹.     

Regio-selective hydroxysubstitution of fluorobenzoic acid derivatives: facile synthesis of fluorosalicylic acid derivatives

Several multi-fluoro-substituted benzoic acid derivatives were effectively transformed to the corresponding salicylic acid derivatives under the similar conditions.     

Supramolecular compounds of azo dyes derived from 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol and their nickel and copper complexes

In this study, experimental techniques including Raman, infrared and X-ray crystal diffraction, as well as quantum chemistry calculations, are used to investigate two new azo dyes supramolecular complexes: 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol (Sudan I) with nickel(II) ion and 1-(2,4-xylylazo)-2-naphthol (Sudan II) with copper(II) ion. The crystallographic structures have been solved for bis-1-(pheny-l-azo)-2-naphtholatenickel(II) and bis-1-(2,4-xylylazo)-2-naphtholatecopper(II) complexes, revealing the presence of supramolecular interactions, such as the centroid–centroid π-stacking interactions and CH…π hydrogen interactions. These weak intermolecular interactions appear to play an important role on the crystal structure stability for both compounds. Density functional theory calculations at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level were performed in order to help understanding such molecular interactions and to assign the vibrational spectra. The experimental and theoretical data have allowed the analysis of the packing forces, revealing charge accumulation at key molecular regions.     

Capillary electrophoretic analysis of the derivatives and isomers of benzoate and phthalate

A capillary electrophoretic method for the analysis of 12 commonly found derivatives and isomers of benzoate and phthalate, including p-toluic acid, p-acetamido and p-hydroxy derivatives of benzoic acid, salicylic acid and its acetyl ester, 2- and 4-isomers of carboxybenzaldehyde, meta-, para-, and ortho-isomers of phthalic acid, and monomethyl terephthalic acid was developed. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was performed in the free zone electrophoresis mode. Performing CE in 10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 could separate most of the benzoic acid derivatives except the structural or positional isomers. The positional isomers of phthalic acids could be completely separated with co-addition of alpha- and beta-cyclodextrins. Addition of poly(ethylene glycol) 600 (4%) could further resolve some structural isomers. The CE method developed here is rapid, i.e. complete separation could be achieved in less than 8 min for the nine monoanionic benzoate derivatives and in less than 14 min for the three dianionic phthalate isomers. The new method has good precision and linearity and can be readily applied to real samples for quantitative analysis. It is sensitive and can detect sub-ppm (w/w) level of impurity in real terephthalic samples.     

DFT analysis of co-alkyl and co-adenosyl vibrational modes in B12-cofactors

Density functional theory (DFT)-based normal mode calculations have been carried out on models for B12-cofactors to assign reported isotope-edited resonance Raman spectra, which isolate vibrations of the organo-Co group. Interpretation is straightforward for alkyl-Co derivatives, which display prominent Co-C stretching vibrational bands. DFT correctly reproduces Co-C distances and frequencies for the methyl and ethyl derivatives. However, spectra are complex for adenosyl derivatives, due to mixing of Co-C stretching with a ribose deformation coordinate and to activation of modes involving Co-C-C bending and Co-adenosyl torsion. Despite this complexity, the computed spectra provide a satisfactory re-assignment of the experimental data. Reported trends in adenosyl-cobalamin spectra upon binding to the methylmalonyl CoA mutase enzyme, as well as on subsequent binding of substrates and inhibitors, provide support for an activation mechanism involving substrate-induced deformation of the adenosyl ligand.

Correlation of observed and model vibrational frequencies for aqueous organic acids: UV resonance Raman spectra and molecular orbital calculations of benzoic, salicylic, and phthalic acids

The aromatic carboxylic acids benzoic, salicylic and phthalic acid were used to study the interaction of soluble organics compounds with metal cations. To accomplish this, we have developed methods for studying the carboxylic acids using UV resonance Raman (UVRR) combined with molecular orbital density functional theory calculations. The pH values of the acid solutions were based on the pK(a)'s for the different acids to examine the neutral and charged species. Deprotonation of the organic acids was detectable down to 10(-4)M using UVRR (two orders of magnitude lower than previous vibrational spectroscopy studies). Limitations to decreasing the concentration lower using the current UVRR facilities are discussed. Two methods were used to calculate the optimized geometry and frequencies of the acids: explicit and continuum solvation. The frequencies from the experimental spectra were then compared to the theoretical results obtained from the two methods.     

Determination of hydroxyl radical by capillary electrophoresis and studies on hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of Chinese herbs

High-performance capillary electrophoresis (CE) with electrochemical detection (ED) was employed to determine hydroxyl radicals in the Fenton reaction. Hydroxyl radicals can react with salicylic acid to produce 2,3-dihydroxy benzoic acid and 2,5-dihydroxy benzoic acid, which can be analyzed by CE-ED. Based on this principle, hydroxyl radicals were determined indirectly. In a 20 mmol/L phosphate running buffer (pH 7.4), 2,3-dihydroxy benzoic acid and 2,5-dihydroxy benzoic acid would elute simultaneously from the capillary within 6 min. As the working electrode, a 300 m diameter carbon-disk electrode exhibits good responses at +0.60 V (vs. SCE) for the two analytes. Peak currents of the two analytes are additive. Excellent linearity was obtained in the concentration range from 1.0×10^-3 mol/L to 5.0×10^-6 mol/L for 2,3-dihydroxy benzoic acid. The detection limit (S/N=3) was 2.0×10^-6 mol/L. This method was successfully applied for studying hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of Chinese herbs. It is testified that Apocynum Venetum L., Jinkgo bibola L., Morus alba L. and Rhododendron dauricum L. have strong hydroxyl radical scavenging activities.

Synthesis of azo derivatives of 4-aminosalicylic acid

For searching a better 4-aminosalicylic acid derivative with higher activity and less side effects against the inflammatory bowel disease, 4-aminosalicylic acid (4-ASA) was protected by benzyloxycarbonyl and acetyl, respectively. The resultant was hydrogenized to remove protective group of amino group, then the product was reacted with NaNO2 to give diazonium salt, which was conjugated with salicylic acid, hydroxybenzene, TV-salicyloyl glycine acid to get azo derivatives of 4-ASA. The azo derivatives were hydrolyzed under the alkaline condition to get the target products. All compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra in details. New derivatives of 4-ASA were characterized. The synthetic route was reasonable and feasible.     

Experimental and computational studies of structure and bonding in parent and reduced forms of the azo dye Orange II

The structure and bonding of the azo dye Orange II (Acid Orange 7) in parent and reduced forms have been studied using NMR, infrared, Raman, UV-visible, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, allied with density functional theory (DFT) calculations on three hydrazone models (no sulfonate, anionic sulfonate, and protonated sulfonate) and one azo model (protonated sulfonate). The calculated structures of the three hydrazone models are similar to each other and that of the model without a sulfonate group (Solvent Yellow 14) closely matches its reported crystal structure. The 1H and 13C NMR resonances of Orange II, assigned directly from 1D and 2D experimental data, indicate that it is present as > or = 95% hydrazone in aqueous solution, and as a ca. 70:30 hydrazone:azo mixture in dimethyl sulfoxide at 300 K. Overall, the experimental data from Orange II are matched well by calculations on the hydrazone model with a protonated sulfonate group; the IR, Raman, and UV-visible spectra of Orange II are assigned to specific vibrational modes and electronic transitions calculated for this model. The EPR spectrum obtained on one-electron reduction of Orange II by the 2-hydroxy-2-propyl radical (*CMe2OH) at pH 4 is attributed to the hydrazyl radical produced on protonation of the radical anion. Calculations on reduced forms of the model dyes support this assignment, with electron spin density on the two nitrogen atoms and the naphthyl ring; in addition, they provide estimates of the structures, vibrational spectra, and electronic transitions of the radicals.

Functional Polymers. XXV. Fluorescence Spectra of Derivatives of Methyl Salicylate and Copolymers of Methyl Vinylsalicylates

Ultraviolet absorption and fluorescence spectra of methyl salicylate, isomers of methyl salicylate derivatives, and polymers with units of isomers of methyl salicylate have been investigated. The λ_max of methyl salicylate and its derivatives is centered around 310 nm. When the phenolic hydroxyl group is acetylated, the maximum is at 285 nm. Fluorescent emission maxima depend on the excitation wavelength. Two groups of maxima centered at 350 and 460 nm indicate that two molecular species (already present in the ground state) of the methyl salicylate moiety, probably tautomers, play essential parts as photoexcited states in the photophysics of methyl salicylate derivatives.     

Highly stable rigid main‐chain nonlinear optical polymers with nematic phase: Effect of liquid‐crystalline phase on nonlinear optical response

Nonlinear optical (NLO) rigid main‐chain polyesters containing azobenzene mesogens with high thermal and temporal stabilities were synthesized from derivatives of hydroxyphenylazobenzoic acid. The NLO properties of the homopolymer, poly[4‐(4‐hydroxy‐3‐methyl phenyl)azo]benzoic acid, and copolymers of 4‐[(4‐hydroxy‐3‐methylphenyl)azo]benzoic acid, 4‐[(4‐hydroxy‐2‐methylphenyl)azo]benzoic acid, and 4‐[(4‐hydroxy‐2‐pentadecyl phenyl)azo]benzoic acid (PSCpHBA) with p‐HBA were measured by the Maker fringe technique. The thermal and liquid‐crystalline (LC) phase behaviors of the polymers were examined by differential scanning calorimetry, a thermal‐stimulated polarization current, and polarized light microscopy. The polymers except PSCpHBA exhibited nematic‐threaded and Schlieren textures. The LC orientations give rise to an enhanced NLO response. The polymers had high thermal and temporal stabilities for second‐harmonic generation activity because of their rigid aromatic backbone. This study suggests that the rigid aromatic main chain exhibiting an LC phase is a promising simple method to synthesize highly stable NLO polymers. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Degradation of benzoic acid and its derivatives in subcritical water

In this research, the stability of benzoic acid and three of its derivatives (anthranilic acid, salicylic acid, and syringic acid) under subcritical water conditions was investigated. The stability studies were carried out at temperatures ranging from 50 to 350 °C with heating times of 10–630 min. The degradation of the benzoic acid derivatives increased with rising temperature and the acids became less stable with longer heating time. The three benzoic acid derivatives showed very mild degradation at 150 °C. Severe degradation of benzoic acid derivatives was observed at 200 °C while their complete degradation occurred at 250 °C. However, benzoic acid remained stable at temperatures up to 300 °C. The degradation products of benzoic acid and the three derivatives were identified and quantified by HPLC and confirmed by GC/MS. Anthranilic acid, salicylic acid, syringic acid, and benzoic acid in high-temperature water underwent decarboxylation to form aniline, phenol, syringol, and benzene, respectively.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Theoretical Calculation of New Azo Dyes Derived from [1,5‐a]Pyrimidine‐5‐one Having Solvatochromic Properties

7‐Amino‐3‐phenylazo‐2‐methyl‐4H‐pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine‐5‐one ( 3 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 5‐amino‐3‐methyl‐4‐phenylazo‐1H‐pyrazole and 2‐aminobenzothiazole with ethyl cyanoacetate in acetic acid at 150°C. Four novel heterocyclic azo disperse dyes were obtained by the coupling of heterocyclic amines‐based diazonium chloride with compound 3 . They were purified and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, and ¹H NMR. Furthermore, solvatochromic behaviors of related dyes were studied in detail by using ultraviolet–visible absorption spectrometer. The experimental data were supported by density functional theory using b3lyp/cc‐pvtz level calculations, and a detailed analysis of predicted tautomeric structures was made.
