A nucleophilic substitution reaction between 4-tert-butylbenzyl bromide and a series of iodide salts has been performed in oil-in-water microemulsions based on either a fatty alcohol ethoxylate or a sugar surfactant. The reaction kinetics was compared with the kinetics of the same reaction performed in a microhomogeneous reaction medium, d-MeOH. Previous results showing a particularly high reactivity in the microemulsion based on the fatty alcohol ethoxylate was confirmed. It was shown that in both microemulsions the reaction rate was almost independent of the choice of counterion to iodide. This indicates that complexation of the cation with the surfactant headgroup, which, in particular, could have taken place with surfactants containing oligooxyethylene chains (a “crown ether effect”), seems not to be of importance.
127I NMR studies, as well as quadrupole splitting experiments performed by 2H NMR, indicate that there is a certain accumulation of iodide at the oil–water interface of the microemulsions. It is difficult to draw any quantitative conclusions in this respect, however.
The results obtained in this study, combined with results from previous investigations of the same reaction, indicate that the unexpectedly high reactivity obtained in the microemulsion based on a surfactant containing an oligooxyethylene headgroup is most probably due to the nucleophile being poorly solvated when present in the headgroup layer of such a microemulsion. Poorly solvated anions are known to be highly reactive nucleophiles. 相似文献
The principles for the determination of conditional association constants of enantiomers by capillary zone electrophoresis employing a partial filling technique (PFT) using methyl-beta-cyclodextrin as chiral selector is presented. Orciprenaline was used as a model compound. Partial filling is a separation technique, where different lengths of the chiral selector solution are introduced into the capillary to a final zone length shorter than the effective length of the capillary, prior to application of the solutes. Lengthening of the separation zone results in improving enantioresolution in addition to decreasing electrophoretic mobility of the enantiomers, because of longer interaction time between the solute and chiral selector. The degree of the reduction in electromobility depends on the affinity of the solute to the chiral selector, i.e. strength of the complex formed between the solute and cyclodextrin. The decrease in the electrophoretic mobility with increasing length of the separation zone is used for determination of the association constant. The association constants of the enantiomers of orciprenaline and the chiral selector were evaluated from the slope of the plot, observed electrophoretic mobility versus the ratio between the length of the separation zone and the effective length of the capillary. It was found that the association constants were independent of the chiral selector concentration. The mean values were 110 M(-1) and 160 M(-1) for respective enantiomer. Constants obtained by a conventional CE technique were in good agreement with those from the PFT experiments. The highest enantioselectivityy was obtained when about 50% of the solute was distributed to the selector phase. 相似文献
Rapid addition of Grignard reagents to pyridine N-oxides under mild conditions gave stereodefined dienal oximes in good to excellent yields. This reaction provides an efficient access to substituted olefins with defined stereochemistry that are potentially of interest as bioactives themselves or as versatile synthetic intermediates. 相似文献

Water samples from the Arctic Sea were analyzed by the potentiometric stripping technique. Lead(II) and cadmium(II) were determined after pre-electrolysis for 32 min at—1.1 V vs. Ag/AgCl, the detection limits being 0.06 and 0.04 nM, respectively. Zinc(II) was determined after the addition of gallium(III) by pre-electrolysis for 16 min at —1.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl, the detection limit being 0.25 nM. Problems in the determination of copper(II) at the very low concentrations found in oceanic waters are outlined. The average zinc(II), cadmium(II) and lead(II) concentrations in eight different samples were 2.5, 0.16 and 0.10 nM as determined by potentiometric stripping analysis and 1.9, 0.16 and 0.09 nM as determined by solvent extraction/atomic absorption spectrometry. The advantages of this computerized technique for the analysis of sea water are discussed. 相似文献
Polyurethane foams treated in an electrical discharge with hydrogen sulfide to incorporate sulfhydryl groups in the foam were examined for their ability to adsorb mercury(II) chloride and methylmercury(II) chloride from aqueous solutions. The concentration ranges studied were 4.0–0.0004 p.p.m. for mercury(II) and 2.0–0.0004 p.p.m. for methylmercury. Analysis showed that the adsorption of the mercury approached 100% in many cases. 相似文献
Quantitative methods for determination of amoxicillin in body fluids are described. They comprise separation by reversed-phase chromatography (LiChrosorb RP-8, 5 micron) of the aqueous supernatants obtained from plasma or urine after purification steps involving protein precipitation followed by extraction in the case of plasma, or a double extraction procedure in the case of urine, post-column derivatization with air segmentation, and finally measurement of the UV absorbance at 310 nm. The derivatization involves formation of the mercuric mercaptide of penicillenic acid and is specific for compounds with an intact penicillanic acid ring system. Detection limits achieved on injecting 200 microliter of plasma and 20 microliter of urine are about 25 ng/ml and 200 ng/ml, respectively, but it is possible to improve the sensitivity further by injecting larger volumes. Precisions (srel) obtained for determination of 0.10 and 0.45 migrogram/ml in plasma were 3.72 and 1.40%, respectively. Some problems regarding column stability originating from the injection of biological samples are discussed. 相似文献
We here report a remarkably slow rearrangement of binding modes for a binuclear ruthenium(II) complex upon interaction with DNA. It has been previously shown that Delta,Delta-[mu-(11,11'-bidppz)(phen)4Ru2]4+ binds to DNA in one of the grooves. However, we find that this is only an initial, metastable, binding mode, which is extremely slowly reorganized into an intercalative binding geometry. The slow rearrangement and dissociation, revealed by flow linear dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy, are concluded to be a result from the complex being threaded through the DNA, with one of the bridging aromatic dppz ligands intercalated between the base pairs of the DNA, placing one metal center in the minor groove and one in the major groove. A negative LD, a high luminescence quantum yield, and long luminescence lifetimes, similar to the intercalating complex Delta-[Ru(phen)2dppz]2+, indicate intercalation of the bidppz moiety. The unique slow dissociation of the complex in its final DNA-binding mode suggests that this class of threading, partially intercalated binuclear complexes may be interesting in the context of cancer therapy. Also, their unique optical and photophysical properties could make such complexes, either alone or scaffolded by DNA structures, of interest for the development of nanometer-sized molecular optoelectronic devices. 相似文献
Summary Retention models for ionic compounds in reversed-phase ion-pair chromatographic systems have been developed on the basis of
the capacity ratios of solutes and ionic mobile phase components using indirect detection. The binding to the adsorbent, μBondapak
Phenyl, has been expressed by ion-pair distribution constants and tested in the retention models by non-linear regression.
All the ionic compounds followed adsorption models of the Langmuir type comprising two kinds of binding sites with widely
different adsorption capacities and binding constants. The results indicate certain differences between the two sites regarding
the binding of cationic and anionic components, respectively. 相似文献
