The two new diterpenes, vierol (1) [(?)kaurane-16α,18-diol] and powerol (3) [(?)kaurane-7β,16α-diol] have been isolated from Sideritis canariensis Ait. 1 was obtained by partial synthesis from epicandicandiol (7), and 3 was related with (?)kauranol (6) and (?)kauren-7β-ol acetate (11). Reduction of the acetoxy-aldehyde 14 by the method of Huang-Minlon and posterior acetylation gave 11, (?)isokauren-7β-ol acetate (17) and (?)kauran-7β-ol acetate (18). 相似文献
Several improvements in sample pretreatment for the determination of organic pollutants (i.e. n-alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs) in marine biota (mussels) are presented. The use of liquid nitrogen and
homogenization of the samples are shown to be an alternative to the time consuming liophilization step required for the analysis
of biota samples. Microwave-assisted hydrolysis and extraction are combined to isolate organic pollutants (19 n-alkanes and 27 PAHs) from biota matrices. Experimental design (ED) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) were used to optimize
the experimental conditions. NIST-CRM 2978 was used to test the validity of the developed method which shows a good agreement
with certified values. 相似文献
The liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy residue determination of compounds without any acidic or basic centers such as abamectin has been investigated. Several approaches regarding the interface used and adduct formation have been compared. The low acidity of the hydroxyl groups only made deprotonation feasible using the atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) interface. To obtain sufficient sensitivity for residue analysis, the Ion Sabre APCI interface was necessary. However, the sensitivity attained was lower than for monitoring adducts in positive ion mode. Using electrospray ionization, different adducts with Na+, NH4+, and Li+ were tested and compared. The best results were obtained for the ammoniated adduct in electrospray ionization (ESI) because of its high sensitivity and the presence of several product ions with similar abundance. The highest sensitivity was reached using an in-source fragment as precursor ion, leading to a limit of detection (LOD) of 2 microg/L with low relative standard deviation. The relatively high abundance of other transitions allowed abamectin confirmation at concentrations close to the LOD (6 microg/L). Alkali ions were found to be a suitable alternative to determine and confirm abamectin at residue levels. The [M + Na]+ also presented various product ions with similar abundance, which allowed confirmation at LOD levels. However, this LOD was found to be almost four times higher than with [M + NH4]+ because of the poor sensitivity of the transitions obtained. Although the use of Li+ facilitated the fragmentation of the adduct [M + Li]+, with similar sensitivity to [M + NH4]+, this fragmentation preferentially generated only one product ion, which did not allow confirmation at concentration levels lower than 15 microg/L. The use of APCI for monitoring adducts was also feasible, but with less sensitivity. The sensitivity increased with the Ion Sabre APCI, although it was still five times lower than with ESI. Other adduct formers such as Co2+ and Ni2+ also were tested with unsatisfactory results. 相似文献
In this paper we will show the results of our research on the direct simultaneous determination of multi-class pesticides and transformation products with different polarities and acid-base properties by applying an on-line trace enrichment coupled to the chromatographic system supplied with electrospray interface (SPE-LC-MS/MS method). The specific chromatographic separation allows the correct determination of almost fifty compounds (37 pesticides and 10 transformation products) using very low sample volume and very little sample handling. Recoveries between 70-120% were obtained for all compounds in drinking and groundwater, meanwhile in surface water 44 compounds were correctly quantified. Relative standard deviations lower than 15% were obtained for all compounds. Even at the lowest concentration level tested (25 ng L(-1)) 40 compounds presented satisfactory recoveries and repeatability. The use of methanol as organic modifier and the increase of injection volume are also studied. The applicability of the developed method to a monitoring programme is demonstrated by applying it to the analysis of hundreds of samples. 相似文献
The reaction of 1,3-dicloro-2-butene (1; 5:1 Z:E-mixture) with lithium powder and a catalytic amount of 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (DTBB, 1% molar) in the presence of different electrophiles [EtCHO, PriCHO, ButCHO, c-C6H11CHO, Me2CO, Et2CO, (CH2)4CO, (CH2)5CO, (c-C3H5)2CO, Me3SiCl] in THF at temperatures ranging between −78 and −50°C gives, after hydrolysis with water, the corresponding products 2 in different Z:E-ratios depending on the electrophile used. Treatment of some diols 2 with hydrochloric acid gives dienic alcohols 3 or substituted dihydropyrans 4, depending on the structure of the starting diol. Finally, the same dichlorinated starting material is transformed into the corresponding allylic amines derived from morpholine and benzyl methyl amine and submitted to the same DTBB-catalysed lithiation as above, so after reaction with different electrophiles [ButCHO, c-C6H11CHO, Me2CO, Et2CO, (CH2)4CO, (CH2)5CO, Me3SiCl] and final hydrolysis with water, compounds 7 are isolated having a Z-configuration. A mechanistic explanation for this behaviour is given. 相似文献
This work presents a comparative study between two different methods for the preparation of mediator-modified screen-printed electrodes, to be used as detectors in a reliable flow injection system for the determination of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) coenzyme. The best strategy was selected for the final development of compact biosensors based on dehydrogenase enzymes. For the first immobilisation strategy, different redox mediators were electropolymerised onto the SPE surface. The second immobilisation strategy was carried out using polysulfone–graphite composites, which were deposited by screen-printing technology onto the screen-printed electrode (SPE) surface. Both methods achieved an effective and reliable incorporation of redox mediators to the SPE configuration. Finally, a flow system for ammonium determination was developed using a glutamate dehydrogenase (GlDH)-Meldola's Blue (MB)-polysulfone-composite film-based biosensor.
The stability of the redox mediators inside the composite films as well as the negligible fouling effect observed on the electrode surface improve the repeatability and reproducibility of the sensors, important features for continuous analysis in flow systems. Furthermore, the optimised bio/sensors, incorporated in a flow injection system, showed good sensitivities and short response times. Such a good analytical performance together with the simple and fast sensor construction are interesting characteristics to consider the polysulfone-composite films as attractive electrochemical transducer materials for the development of new dehydrogenase-based SPEs. 相似文献
A PVC/TTF‐TCNQ composite electrode has been employed as detector in a flow injection system. The proposed method allows the simultaneous detection of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) in mixtures by using a FIA system in a simple manner, without pre‐treatment or modified electrode. This method is based on the amperometric determination of (a) ascorbic acid at 0.15 V and (b) both analytes at 0.35 V, being the response linear in the range 1×10?2–4×10?4 M for both analytes with detection limits (S/N=3) of 1.2×10?4 M and 8.1×10?5 M for AA and UA, respectively. 相似文献
The rotational dynamics of HCl in liquid Ar has been studied by means of molecular-dynamics simulations. We calculate the lifetimes of weakly bound HCl-Ar dimers induced by the anisotropic pair interaction. It is shown that, although lifetimes are small with respect to the reorientational decorrelation, the time interval between the breaking down and formation of the next dimer is negligibly small. Thus, with respect to the rotational dynamics of the probe, the effect is similar to that and eventually would cause a time-stable complex. This provokes a peculiar hindered rotation of the diatomic in the liquid which is macroscopically embodied in the infrared spectrum of the solution as a Q-branch nonexistent otherwise. 相似文献
A preconcentration study based on the cloud point phenomenon was carried out for a set of triazine herbicides, three of them chloro-substituted and three of them methylthio-substituted. Concentration factors and recoveries were calculated as function of the percentage of the non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114 employed. From these values, obtained from a cloud point extraction (CPE) procedure, the distribution coefficient between the Triton X-114 micelles and water, Kc, prior to CPE was calculated for each triazine and related to the corresponding octanol-water partition coefficient, Kow. In order to confirm the results obtained with the triazine herbicides, two sets of data from chemically different organic pollutants--organophosporous and chlorophenols--obtained from the literature were assessed, concluding that they display a similar behaviour to that of the triazine herbicides. This can be used to predict the CPE behaviour of other organic pollutants from their octanol-water partition coefficients. The Kc values were compared with the analyte concentration ratio in the surfactant-rich phase and aqueous phase (Ksa) with a view to obtaining a link between the analyte behaviour prior to and after cloud point extraction procedures. 相似文献
Summary. Nitrosation reactions of phenol, o-cresol, 2,6-dimethylphenol, o-tert-butylphenol, 2-hydroxyacetophenone, and 2-allylphenol in water and water/acetonitrile were studied. Kinetic monitoring of
the reactions was accomplished by spectrophotometric analysis of the nitrosated products at 345 nm. The dominant reaction
was C-nitrosation via a mechanism consisting of an attack on the nitrosatable substrate by NO+/NO2H2+ followed by a slow proton transfer. The values of the rate constants of phenolic C-nitrosation were increased by electron
donating substituents, and a good Hammett correlation was observed with ρ = −6.1. The results also revealed the strong effect of pH and the permitivity of the reaction medium on the rate constant, whose maximum values were observed for pH ≈ 3, decreasing strongly for higher pH values. The study in water/acetonitrile with up to 25% acetonitrile showed that it is possible to inhibit the reaction strongly
by increasing the percentage of the organic component. The conclusions drawn show that (i) it is possible to predict the rate of nitrosation of phenolics as a function of the meta-substituents on the phenol ring and (ii) the nitrosation of phenolics can be strongly inhibited by increasing the pH of the reaction medium as well as by lowering its dielectric constant.
