Comparison between capillary electrophoresis and ion-chromatography for analysis of inorganic anions

Separation and detection of some selected inorganic anions with capillary electrophoresis are shown. The anions are separated in microbore capillaries (25 m* 0.2 m) and detected with a UV-detector. Results are compared with the method of ion exchange chromatography. In consideration of the most important physical and chemical parameters an easy kind of computer simulation for such electropherograms was developed.To get optimal results of separation and UV-detection in capillary electrophoresis some parameters of the device HPE 100, i.e. loading time in the electrokinetic sample injection mode and the running voltage are varied. The behaviour of absorption in the UV region of the chosen anions as well as the influence of pH values in retention behaviour are investigated. There is a simple way to calculate the electrophoretic mobilities from known retention times. Approximate limits of detection for all anions and for each technique are given.     

Response Characteristics of Arsenic-Sensitive Bioreporters Expressing the gfp Reporter Gene

This paper describes the development of an analytical technique for arsenic analyses that is based on genetically-modified bioreporter bacteria bearing a gene encoding for the production of a green fluorescent protein (gfp). Upon exposure to arsenic (in the aqueous form of arsenite), the bioreporter production of the fluorescent reporter molecule is monitored spectroscopically. We compared the response measured as a function of time and concentration by steady-state fluorimetry (SSF) to that measured by epi-fluorescent microscopy (EFM). SSF is a bulk technique; as such it inherently yields less information, whereas EFM monitors the response of many individual cells simultaneously and data can be processed in terms of population averages or subpopulations. For the bioreporter strain used here, as well as for the literature we cite, the two techniques exhibit similar performance characteristics. The results presented here show that the EFM technique can compete with SSF and shows substantially more promise for future improvement; it is a matter of research interest to develop optimized methods of EFM image analysis and statistical data treatment. EFM is a conduit for understanding the dynamics of individual cell response vs. population response, which is not only a matter of research interest, but is also promising in the practical terms of developing micro-scale analysis.     

1,8-bis(dimethylethyleneguanidino)naphthalene: tailoring the basicity of bisguanidine "proton sponges" by experiment and theory

1,8-bis(dimethylethyleneguanidino)naphthalene (DMEGN), the second example of a peralkyl guanidine "proton sponge" based on the 1,8-naphthalene backbone, was prepared and fully characterized. The crystal structure analysis of monoprotonated DMEGN reveals an unsymmetrical intramolecular hydrogen bridge. A decrease in the basicity with respect to the noncyclic parent 1,8-bis(tetramethylguanidino)naphthalene was found. Nevertheless, a new proton sponge provides a new crossbar in the ladder of highly basic neutral organic compounds. A detailed theoretical study of DMEGN and related cyclic guanidines explains this surprising experimental result. Homodesmotic reactions reveal that the intramolecular hydrogen bond contributes effectively 10 kcal/mol to proton affinity of DMEGN.     

Applications of capillary electrophoresis in element speciation analysis of plant and food extracts

The performance of a new separation technique for metal-speciation — capillary electrophoresis (CE) — is presented. Polyhydroxy compounds such as polyphenols and organic tanning agents can be determined in the g/L range. Certain complexes of these compounds with iron (III) ions may also be directly or indirectly verified. The work has shown that it is possible to determine certain complexes existing in beverages (tea and coffee) by decomplexation with chelating agents (CDTA). The ligands released can be separated by CE and identified by their migration time and UV/VIS absorption spectra.     

Effect of Groundwater Composition on Arsenic Detection by Bacterial Biosensors

A luminescent bacterial biosensor was used to quantify bioavailable arsenic in artificial groundwater. Its light production above the background emission was proportional to the arsenite concentration in the toxicologically relevant range of 0 to 0.5 μM. Effects of the inorganic solutes phosphate, Fe(II) and silicate on the biosensor signal were studied. Phosphate at a concentration of 0.25 g L⁻¹ phosphate slightly stimulated the light emission, but much less than toxicologically relevant concentrations of the much stronger inducer arsenite. No effect of phosphate was oberved in the presence of arsenite. Freshly prepared sodium silicate solution at a concentration of 10 mg L⁻¹ Si reduced the arsenite-induced light production by roughly 37%, which can be explained by transient polymerization leading to sequestration of some arsenic. After three days of incubation, silicate did not have this effect anymore, probably because depolymerization occurred. In the presence of 0.4 mg L⁻¹ Fe(II), the arsenite-induced light emission was reduced by up to 90%, probably due to iron oxidation followed by arsenite adsorption on the less soluble Fe(III) possibly along with some oxidation to the stronger adsorbing As(V). Addition of 100 μM EDTA was capable of releasing all arsenic from the precipitate and to transform it into the biologically measurable, dissolved state. The biosensor also proved valuable for monitoring the effectiveness of an arsenic removal procedure based on water filtration through a mixture of sand and iron granules.     

Intramolecular iron(II)-catalyzed nitrogen transfer reactions of unsaturated alkoxycarbonyl azides: a facile and stereoselective route to 4,5-disubstituted oxazolidinones

Intramolecular FeII-catalyzed reactions of various unsaturated alkoxycarbonyl azides are described. The reactions occur in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of trimethyl silyl chloride employing ethanol as the solvent. The corresponding 2-alkenyloxycarbonyl azides 5, 9, 18, 20, 22, and 24 gave the products 7/8, 10/11, 19, 21, 23, and 25 of an olefin chloroamination in moderate to good yields (47-72%). The facial diastereoselectivity of the ring closing C-N-bond forming step is good both in cyclic (20, 24) and in acyclic substrates (5, 18, 22) (>90% ds). The subsequent chlorine atom transfer occurs selectively in cyclic systems (20, 24) and in systems (9b, 18) which exhibit a conformational bias in the postulated radical intermediate 14. The lifetime tau of this elusive intermediate was estimated from the loss of stereochemical information in conformationally unrestricted systems (9a, 22) and from the data obtained with a radical clock (31-->32). 2-Alkynyloxycarbonyl azides 34 and 36 also yield chloroamination products which are obtained exclusively as the (Z)-isomers 35 and 37 (81-99% yield). The products of the tert-butyl-substituted substrates 38 undergo an immediate rearrangement/solvolysis reaction in the reaction mixture and gave the 5-alkoxyoxazolidinones 39 (93-99% yield).
