Evaluation of dicationic reagents for their use in detection of anions using positive ion mode ESI-MS via gas phase ion association

Twenty-three different dications were investigated for their effectiveness in pairing with singly charged anions, thereby allowing the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) detection of anions as positively charged complexes. Nitrate, iodide, cyanate, monochloroacetate, benzenesulfonate, and perfluoro-octanoate were chosen as representative test anions as they differ in mass, size-to-charge ratio, chaotropic nature, and overall complexity. Detection limits were found using direct injection of the anion into a carrier liquid containing the dication. Detection limits are given for all six anions with each of the 23 dications. Each anion was easily detected at the ppb (microg/L) and often the ppt (ng/L) levels using certain dicationic reagents. The ability of dicationic reagents to pair with anions and produce ESI-MS signals varied tremendously. Indeed, only a few dications can be considered broadly useful and able to produce sensitive results. Liquid chromatography (LC)-ESI-MS also was investigated and used to show how varying the dicationic reagent produced significantly different peak intensities. Also, the use of tandem mass spectrometry can lead to even greater sensitivity when using imidazolium based dications.     

Some novel reactions of 2-amino-4-methyloxazole with aldehydes: Aryl and alkyl hydoxymethylation at C-5

2-Amino-4-methyloxazole reacts with aldehydes to give products having a hydroxymethyl function at C–5. No Schiff's bases were formed. Reactions seem to be confined to 4-alkyl substituted-2-aminooxazoles as 2-aminooxazole and its 4-phenyl and 2-acetomido derivatives fail to react with aldehydes. The nature of the aldehyde affects the amount of the product formed.     

电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法测定钛酸钡纳米粉体中7种杂质元素

钛酸钡纳米粉体样品用盐酸溶解,在所得样品溶液中用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法测定了以氧化物存在于样品中的7种杂质元素(包括镁、锶、钾、钠、铝、硅及铁),对测定的光谱条件进行了试验并优化达到上述各元素的测定上限为0.1%(质量分数).测得方法的检出限(3S/b)为(单位μg·L-1):2.0(铝),1.0(铁),20.0(钾),0.2(镁),4.0(钠),3.0(硅)及0.5(锶).应用此方法分析了两件实样,所得结果的相对标准偏差(n=6)小于等于2.0%,对其中4种杂质元素(镁、钾、钠和锶)同时用HG/T 3587-1999标准中的方法作分析校核,所得结果与此方法结果一致.     

Electrophilic substitution of diazonium salts in 2-amino-4-(alkyl or aryl)oxazoles

Aryl diazonium fluoborates react readily with 2-amino-4-alkyloxazoles and 2-amino-4-aryloxazoles under mild conditions. The products are the corresponding 5-arylazo derivatives formed, in 44-98% yield free from side products.     

Friedel-crafts reactions of 2-amino-4-(alkyl or aryl)oxazoles with acid chlorides and acid anhydrides: Synthesis of 5-acyl-2-amino-4-alkyloxazoles

Acid chlorides and anhydrides react with 2-amino-4-alkyloxazoles in the presence of aluminum chloride to produce 5-acyl substituted 2-amino-4-alkyloxazoles in modest yields. However, in the absence of the Lewis acid reaction occurs at the amino group to give the corresponding amides. This provides a viable entry for functionalising and making carbon-carbon bond at C-5 of this heterocyclic system.     

Assessing the roles of the constituents of ionic liquids in dynamic solvation: Comparison of an ionic liquid in micellar and bulk form

Dynamic solvation of the dye, coumarin 153, is compared in an ionic liquid that forms micelles in water against the bulk solvent. This provides the unprecedented opportunity of investigating the behavior of the ionic liquid in two globally different configurations. It is proposed that the imidazolium moiety is in both cases responsible for the majority of the solvation, which manifests itself in the first 100 ps. Exploiting the use of ionic liquids capable of accommodating specific structures thus provides a deeper insight into how solutes interact with these fascinating and interesting solvents (at least those that are imidazolium based) that are gaining ever increasing interest in the scientific community.
