Spectral Studies and Cathodic Reduction of some Thiazolylazo Derivatives

The structure of the 2-thiazolylazosalicylic acid molecule, TAS, has been determined by means of quantum SCF-CI calculations. The ionization potential and the electron affinity of TAS molecule were calculated to have the values 9.057 and 2.56 eV respectively. The solvation energies in different solvents, and the bond orders of the TAS molecule were calculated for the neutral state, the oxidized form (the cation) and the reduced form (the anion). Mixed solvent studies were carried out with TAS and 2-benzothiazolylazosalicylic acid (BTAS), using polar solvents (EtOH and MeOH) to confirm the formation of a solvent-solute complex. The azo group in the TAS molecule nas a considerable contribution in the SCFLUMO; thus cathodic reduction has been focused on the azo group and was verified experimentally by cathodic reduction.     

Simultaneous Differential Pulse Voltammetric Determination of Ascorbic Acid and Caffeine in Pharmaceutical Formulations Using a Boron‐Doped Diamond Electrode

A cathodically pretreated boron‐doped diamond electrode was used for the simultaneous anodic determination of ascorbic acid (AA) and caffeine (CAF) by differential pulse voltammetry. Linear calibration curves (r=0.999) were obtained from 1.9×10^?5 to 2.1×10^?4 mol L^?1 for AA and from 9.7×10^?6 to 1.1×10^?4 mol L^?1 for CAF, with detection limits of 19 μmol L^?1 and 7.0 μmol L^?1, respectively. This method was successfully applied for the determination of AA and CAF in pharmaceutical formulations, with results equal to those obtained using a HPLC reference method.

Electroanalytical Detection of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) Ions Using a Novel Microbial Sensor

A microbial sensor, namely carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with Citrobacter freundii (Cf–CPE) has been developed for the detection of hexavalent (Cr(VI)) and trivalent (Cr(III)) chromium present in aqueous samples using voltammetry, an electroanalytical technique. The biosensor developed, demonstrated about a twofold higher performance as compared to the bare CPE for the chosen ions. Using cyclic voltammetry and by employing the fabricated Cf–CPE, the lowest limit of detection (LLOD) of 1x10⁻⁴ M and 5x10⁻⁴ M for Cr(VI) and Cr(III) ions respectively could be achieved. By adopting the Differential Pulse Cathodic Stripping Voltammetric technique, the LLOD could be further improved to 1x10⁻⁹ M and 1x10⁻⁷ M for Cr(VI) and Cr(III) ions respectively using the biomodified electrodes. The reactions occurring at the electrode surface‐chromium solution interface and the mechanisms of biosorption of chromium species onto the biosensor are discussed. The stability and utility of the developed biosensor for the analysis of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) ions in chromite mine water samples has been evaluated.

Theoretical Treatment of a Cathodic Stripping Mechanism of an Insoluble Salt Coupled with a Chemical Reaction in Conditions of Square Wave Voltammetry. Application to 6‐Mercaptopurine‐9‐D‐Riboside in the Presence of Ni(II)

Cathodic stripping mechanism of an insoluble salt coupled with a homogenous chemical reaction is considered both theoretically and experimentally under conditions of square‐wave voltammetry. For the mercury electrode in aqueous solution, the electrode reaction is described as L(aq)+Hg(l)=HgL(s)+2e^?, where L(aq) is the reactive ligand that forms a sparingly soluble compound HgL(s). The electrode reaction is coupled with a homogenous, first‐order chemical reaction, A(aq)=L(aq). Theoretical predictions are confirmed by experiments with 6‐mercaptopurine‐9‐D‐riboside in the presence of nickel(II) ions.     

Electrolytic reduction of azidochalcones

Cathodic reduction of -azidochalcones under slightly protic conditions proves to be an excellent method for a selective conversion of the azido function to an amino group without affecting other reducible parts of the molecules. The amino-propenones retain theZ-configuration about the C=C-bond of the starting material, whereas N-acetyl derivatives, obtained under mildly acetylating conditions, are partially isomerised. The low reduction potential of N,N-diacetyl-enamines of this type prevents their direct one step synthesis by electrolysis of azidochalcones under strongly acetylating conditions. The voltammetric behaviour of the azides and their reduction pathway is discussed.

Elektrolytische Untersuchungen an Vinylaziden, 6. Mitt.Elektrolytische Reduktion von Azidochalkonen

Zusammenfassung Die kathodische Reduktion von -Azidopropenon erweist sich als ausgezeichneter Weg, um selektiv zu Enaminen zu gelangen, ohne (wie chemische Reduktionsmittel) auch andere Gruppierungen anzugreifen. Durch die Kontrolle von Protonierungs- bzw. Acetylierungsschritten lassen sich die stabileren N-Acetylamine erhalten. Das niedrig liegende Reduktionspotential der N,N-Diacetylamino-propenone verhindert, daß sie in einer Einstufensynthese bei der Reduktion der Azidochalkone unter stark acylierenden Bedingungen erhältlich sind. Das voltammetrische Verhalten der Azide und ihr Reaktionsweg bei der kathodischen Reduktion werden diskutiert.

     

Cathodic synthesis of 2-amino-2-propene-1-ones electrolytical studies on vinylazides,VII

The cathodic preparation of enamino ketones from enazidoketones has been generalised to include heteroaromatic and aliphatic derivatives. Mechanistically the role of different sites of protonation, either on N¹ of the N₃-group or on carbonyl depending on electrolysis potential and acid strength, apparent by product distribution, is clarified. Aldehydic groups are preferentially reduced compared to the vinylazide part. Purely aliphatic azidoketones yield conjugated dienes under reductive acetylation, which might be useful for cycloaddition reactions.Die kathodische Synthese von Enaminoketonen aus ungesättigten Azidoketonen wurde auf heteroaromatisch substituierte und auf rein aliphatische Derivate übertragen. Zum Reduktionsmechanismus wurde der Einfluß verschiedener Stellen der Protonierung (am N¹ der N₃-Gruppe bzw. an der Carbonylgruppe), abhängig von Potential und Säurestärke, untersucht. Aldehydische Gruppen als weitere funktionelle Gruppen im Enazid werden leichter als die Vinylazide reduziert. Die rein aliphatischen Enazidoketone ergeben bei reduktiver Acylierung konjugierte Diene.
