Use of p-dimethylaminobenzalhyde as a colored reagent for determination of procaine hydrochloride by spectrophotometry

Spectrophotometric determination of procaine hydrochloride is described. The procaine hydrochloride reacts with p-dimethylaminobenzalhyde in glacial acetic acid to form an Schiff base which is a yellow compound, and its maximum absorption wavelength is at 455nm, ₄₅₅=3.46×10⁴. The absorbance for procaine hydrochloride from 0.2 to 15 μg ml⁻¹ obeys Beer's law. The linear regression equation of the calibration graph is C=5.866A−0.02, with a linear regression correlative coefficient is 0.9994 and relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.7%; the detection limit is 0.1 μg ml⁻¹; recovery is from 92.0 to 110.0%. Effects of reaction medium, temperature, gentamycin, beneylpenicillin, kanamycin, streptomycin, foreign ions, and stand for time on the determination of procaine hydrochloride have been examined. The results obtained by this method agreed with those by the official method (dead-stop titration). This method is rapid and simple, and can be used for the determination of procaine hydrochloride in injection solution of procaine hydrochloride.     

Synthesis of quinolines, 2-quinolones, phenanthridines, and 6(5h)-phenanthridinones via palladium[0]-mediated Ullmann cross-coupling of 1-bromo-2-nitroarenes with beta-halo-enals, -enones, or -esters

Palladium[0]-mediated Ullmann cross-coupling of 1-bromo-2-nitrobenzene (1 R = H) and its derivatives with a range of beta-halo-enals, -enones, or -esters readily affords the corresponding beta-aryl derivatives, which are converted into the corresponding quinolines, 2-quinolones, phenanthridines, or 6(5H)-phenanthridinones on reaction with dihydrogen in the presence of Pd on C or with TiCl(3) in aqueous acetone.

Organic synthesis on the microgram scale. V

Summary This paper describes a method for theg synthesis of flavone acetates in a sealed capillary tube. The reaction products are separated and purified on a thin-layer plate. The esters are then hydrolyzed on the plate and the parent flavones regenerated. A simple heating device is used which allows for observation of the reaction.

Study of the Fluorescence System of Europium–Enoxacin and its Applications

 This paper is the study of the fluorescence enhancement of Eu³⁺-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridin-3-carbonic acid (enoxacin, EFLX) system by surfactants. It was found that sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) exhibits great enhancement on the fluorescence of the Eu-EFLX system. The molar ratio is 1:2:1 for Eu:EFLX: SDBS. Under the optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity is a linear function of europium in the range of 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ ∼ 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L, the detection limit is 1.0 × 10⁻⁹ mol/L. The application of the Eu-EFLX-SDBS system for the determination of trace europium in rare earth samples gave satisfactory results. Received October 19, 2000. Revision August 10, 2001.     

Study of the drying zirconia gel-precipitates using thermal analysis

Thermoanalytical techniques (TG, DTG, DTA and EGA) can be helpful in studying gel compositions and relating the chemical history and the role of the precipitant to the chemical properties of gels. The objective of our work was to determine the influence of the initial conditions in the reaction mixture on the product characteristics. Zirconia gels were prepared by the gelprecipitation method by the hydrolysis of zirconium tetrachloride dissolved in methanol. The substitution of water by methanol was chosen in order to obtain a reaction medium in which better control of the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of the zirconium precursor were achieved and thus also better control of the final properties of the dried zirconia gel-precipitates could be obtained. The nature of the hydrated zirconia gels obtained during the gelation process is strongly influenced by the conditions of the reaction mixture, e.g. concentration of the zirconium precursor, the mixing rate and particularly by the amount of water added. To distinguish between various types of water in the gel-precipitates, the furnace atmosphere and the partial water pressure were altered appropriately. It was shown that initial zirconium to water molar ratio has a significant effect on the properties of the final products. It was assumed that, according to the preparation conditions, three different types of water are present in the formed zirconia gel-precipitates. Modification of the dehydration processes of zirconia gel-precipitates enables control of the final microstructural and surface properties of the dried gels which are suitable for further catalysts support as well as mixed oxide preparation.     

Semiclassical approach to collision-induced emission in the presence of intense laser radiation: An aspect in the study of cooperative chemical and optical pumping

Collion-induced emission in molecular systems in an intense laser field is studied using the semiclassical approach, with a view towards cooperative chemical and optical pumping in laser production. The formalism is developed with the electronic-field representation, which treats collision and radiative interaction on the same footing. Electronic-field surfaces can be regarded as forming spectra for spontaneous emission; and particular emission events can be accounted for by propagating classical trajectories on emission electronic-field surfaces. Pre-emission loss from the excited state is dealt with by propagating classical trajectories on a loss surface along a complex contour of emission branch points. This loss surface is derived on the basis of localized radiative couplings between electronic-field states and provides a framework to treat the general problem of discrete state-continuum interactions. The formalism is applied to a two-state, collinear exponential model to compute S-matrix elements and transition probabilities between asymptotic states.     

PA.FPNS: its synthesis and use in spectrophotometric determination of magnesium

A new polymeric chromogenic reagent PA.FPNS has been synthesized by condensing polyallylamine (PA) with 3-(4-formylphenylazo)-4,5-dihydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid (FPNS) and its properties studied. In alkaline media, PA.FPNS reacts with magnesium to form a water-soluble blue complex, whose absorption maximum is at 604 nm. The molar absorptivity (varepsilon) of the complex is 5.2 x 10(4)l mol(-1) cm(-1), which is four times that of the FPNS-Mg complex, and Beer's law is obeyed over the range 0-0.35 mug ml(-1) magnesium. Compared to the corresponding low-molecular-weight FPNS and other chromogenic reagents, PA.FPNS offers considerably improved sensitivity and selectivity for magnesium, which may be attributed to incorporating FPNS into a water-soluble polymer and the effect of the polymeric chain on the reaction microenvironment. Also, a simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of magnesium has been developed and applied to water and human fluid samples with satisfactory results.     

Interaction of tetrandrine with human serum albumin: a fluorescence quenching study.

The interaction of tetrandrine with human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by measuring fluorescence quenching spectra, synchronous fluorescence spectra and ultra-violet spectra. The fluorescence quenching spectra of HSA in the presence of tetrandrine showed that tetrandrine quenched the fluorescence of HSA. The quenching constants of tetrandrine on HSA were determined using the Stern-Volmer equation. Static quenching and non-radiation energy transfer were the two main reasons leading to the fluorescence quenching of HSA by tetrandrine. According to the F?rster theory of non-radiation energy transfer, the binding distances (r) and the binding constants (K(A)) were obtained. The thermodynamic parameters obtained in this study revealed that the interaction between tetrandrine and HSA was mainly driven by a hydrophobic force. The conformational changes of HSA were investigated by synchronous spectrum studies.     

The mechanism of thermal decomposition of Co(NO3)2 · 2H2O

The mechanism of thermal decomposition of Co(NO₃)₂ · 2H₂O was found to involve stages in which Co(NO₃)₃ and Co₂O₃ · H₂O are formed both of which decompose to Co₃O₄. During the process, the total cobalt enters the +3 oxidation state, which is consistent with the results reported by Mehandjiev [2].
