The Reaction of Peroxynitrite with Morpholine (Secondary Amines) Revisited: The Overlooked Hydroxylamine Formation

The reaction of peroxynitrite/peroxynitrous acid with morpholine as a model compound for secondary amines is reinvestigated in the absence and presence of carbon dioxide. The concentration‐ and pH‐dependent formation of N‐nitrosomorpholine and N‐nitromorpholine as reported in three previous papers ([25] [26] [14]) is basically confirmed. However, ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopic product analysis shows that, in the absence of CO₂, N‐hydroxymorpholine is, at pH ≥ 7, the major product of this reaction, even under anaerobic conditions. The formation of N‐hydroxymorpholine has been overlooked in the three cited papers. Additional (ring‐opened) oxidation products of morpholine are also detected. The data account for radical pathways for the formation of these products via intermediate morpholine‐derived aminyl and α‐aminoalkyl radicals. This is further supported by EPR‐spectrometric detection of morpholine‐derived nitroxide radicals, i.e., morpholin‐4‐yloxy radicals. N‐Nitrosomorpholine, however, is very likely formed by electrophilic attack of peroxynitrite‐derived N₂O₄. ¹⁵N‐CIDNP Experiments establish that, in the presence of CO₂, N‐nitro‐ and C‐nitromorpholine are generated by radical recombination. The present results are in full accord with a fractional (28 ± 2%) homolytic decay of peroxynitrite/peroxynitrous acid with release of free hydroxyl and nitrogen dioxide radicals.

Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric determination of trace elements in sediments after sequential selective extraction: effects of reagents and major elements on the analytical signal

The interfering effects due to the reagents and matrix elements associated with a four step sequential extraction procedure on ICPOES determination of trace elements were investigated in a systematic way. The emission lines were selected in order to include the most interesting elements for environmental studies (Zn, Pb, Ni, Cr, V and Cu) and the concentrations ranged according with the values occurring in the real samples. In order to distinguish between chemical and physical interfering effects, the Mg 280.270–Mg 285.213 line intensity ratio was measured, in each condition. Both pneumatic and ultrasonic nebulization were considered for comparison. It was found that both the elements which constitute the sample and the reagents which are added during the sample preparation steps significantly influence the emission intensity of all the analytes, depending on the analytical concentration and the nebulization system. Generally, the signal variations were higher with ultrasonic nebulization. Concerning the interference mechanism, it was found that the effect of the major elements (Na, K, Mg, Ca, Al and Fe) is essentially related to a change of the aerosol generation and transport processes. Differently, acetic acid, ammonium acetate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride significantly improved the plasma excitation conditions, depending on their concentration. A change of the sample introduction efficiency due to the presence of these reagents was also evident. On the contrary, the effect of hydrochloric and nitric acid emerged to be related only to the processes occurring in the sample introduction system.

用滴体积法通过表面张力的测定, 系统地研究了十六烷基二苯醚二磺酸钠(C₁₆-MADS)在不同温度(298.0～318.0 K)和不同NaCl浓度(0～0.50 mol•L^-1)下的表面活性. 结果表明, 温度升高使C₁₆-MADS溶液的临界胶束浓度(cmc)略有增大, 表面极限吸附量(Γ_∞)降低. cmc随NaCl浓度的增大从1.45×10^-4 mol•L^-1降至4.10×10^-5 mol•L^-1, 但最低表面张力(γ_cmc)基本不受影响. 在298.0 K与303.0 K时, NaCl浓度的增大, Γ_∞增大; 在308.0、313.0与318.0 K时, NaCl浓度的增大, 出现了Γ_∞从2.27 μmol•m^-2降低至1.41 μmol•m^-2的“反常”现象. 胶团形成自由能(ΔG_m⁰)随温度和NaCl浓度增加负值增大(－63.98～－76.20 kJ•mol^-1), 胶团的形成主要是熵驱动过程.

In addition to the stepwise deprotection conditions including desilylation and the subsequent acidic hydrolysis of the p-hydroxybenzylidene group in AcOH-THF-H₂O, we have established the one-pot deprotection under basic conditions [K₂CO₃ (5 equiv), NH₂OH·HCl (5 equiv), and CsF (1 equiv) in MeOH-H₂O].     

Electrocatalytic Characteristics of Hydrazine and Hydroxylamine Oxidation at Coumestan Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

A coumestan derivative modified carbon paste electrode (CMCPE) was used as a sensitive electrochemical sensor for determination of electrocatalytic of hydrazine and hydroxylamine. The mechanism of electrocatalytic oxidation of both hydrazine and hydroxylamine using CMCPE was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and polarization studies. The kinetic parameters such as the electron transfer coefficient, α, heterogeneous rate constant, k′, and exchange current density, j₀, for oxidation of hydrazine and hydroxylamine at the CMCPE surface were determined using cyclic voltammetry. Further more, the linear dynamic range, sensitivity and limit of detection for hydrazine and hydroxylamine detections were evaluated using differential pulse voltammetry.     

Reactions of 3-(polyfluoroacyl)chromones with hydroxylamine: synthesis of novel R-containing isoxazole and chromone derivatives

Reaction of 3-(polyfluoroacyl)chromones with hydroxylamine free base proceeds via nucleophilic 1,4-addition followed by opening of the pyrone ring and subsequent cyclization to 4-(polyfluoroalkyl)-4H-chromeno[3,4-d]isoxazol-4-ols in good yields. On treatment with trifluoroacetic acid, the isoxazole ring of this annulated heterocyclic system opens to give 3-cyano-2-(polyfluoroalkyl)chromones, which were successfully hydrolyzed with concentrated H₂SO₄ to afford 3-carbamoyl-2-(polyfluoroalkyl)chromones. On the other hand, oximation of 3-(polyfluoroacyl)chromones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride occurs either at the carbonyl carbon atom connected to the R^F group or at the C-2 atom to give 3-R^FC(NOH)-chromones and 5-R^F-4-salicyloylisoxazole oximes, respectively. The former were easily converted to 3-R^F-4-salicyloylisoxazoles by simple heating in dimethyl sulfoxide.

Highly sensitive determination of hydroxylamine using fused gold nanoparticles immobilized on sol-gel film modified gold electrode

We are reporting the highly sensitive determination of hydroxylamine (HA) using 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5-thiazoleacetic acid (TAA) capped fused spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified Au electrode. The fused TAA-AuNPs were immobilized on (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane (MPTS) sol-gel film, which was pre-assembled on Au electrode. The immobilization of fused TAA-AuNPs on MPTS sol-gel film was confirmed by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The AFM image showed that the AuNPs retained the fused spherical morphology after immobilized on sol-gel film. The fused TAA-AuNPs on MPTS modified Au electrode were used for the determination of HA in phosphate buffer (PB) solution (pH = 7.2). When compared to bare Au electrode, the fused AuNPs modified electrode not only shifted the oxidation potential of HA towards less positive potential but also enhanced its oxidation peak current. Further, the oxidation of HA was highly stable at fused AuNPs modified electrode. Using amperometric method, determination of 17.5 nM HA was achieved for the first time. Further, the current response of HA increases linearly while increasing its concentration from 17.5 nM to 22 mM and a detection limit was found to be 0.39 nM (S/N = 3). The present modified electrode was also successfully used for the determination of 17.5 nM HA in the presence of 200-fold excess of common interferents such as urea, NO₂⁻, NH₄⁺, oxalate, Mn²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺ and Cu²⁺. The practical application of the present modified electrode was demonstrated by measuring the concentration of HA in ground water samples.
