Synthesis,characterization, and fluorescence phenomena of 1‐naphthoxy and 1‐naphthylamino substituted cyclotriphosphazenes

The reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene N₃P₃Cl₆ ( 1 ) with 1‐naphthol and 1‐naphthylamine have been examined. The reaction of 1 with sodium 1‐naphthoxy gave the hexakis(1‐naphthoxy)cyclotriphosphazene ( 2 ) in high yield. Geminal 2,2‐di(1‐naphthylamino)‐4,4,6,6‐tetrachlorocyclotriphosphazene ( 3 ) was obtained from the reaction of 1 with 1‐naphthylamine. The structures of phosphazene derivatives were defined by elemental analysis, FTIR, UV‐‐visible, and ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity of the compounds was measured in THF and CH₂Cl₂. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Characterization of Volatile Flavor Compounds in Supercritical Fluid Separated and Identified in Gurum (Citrulluslanatus Var. colocynthoide) Seed Oil Using HSME and GC–MS

In this study, the volatile compound profiles of gurum seed oil were determined using two methods: supercritical CO₂ extraction (SFE) and the screw press process (SPP). For volatile compounds extraction and identification, headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and GC–MS were used, respectively. A total number of 56 volatile compounds were revealed and identified in oil extracted by SFE, while only 40 compounds were detected in extracted oil by SPP. Acids, aldehydes, esters, ketones, furans, and other components were present in the highest ratio in oil extracted by SFE. In contrast, alcohols and alkenes were found in the highest proportion in oil extracted by SPP. In this study, it was observed that SFE showed an increase in the amounts of volatile compounds and favorably impacted the aroma of gurum seed oil. The results reveal that different extraction methods significantly impact the volatile components of gurum seed oil, and this study can help evaluate the quality of the oil extracted from gurum seeds.
