A complete electrochemical study and a novel electroanalytical procedure for bromhexine quantitation are described. Bromhexine in methanol/0.1 mol L−1 Britton–Robinson buffer solution (2.5/97.5) shows an anodic response on glassy carbon electrode between pH 2 and 7.5. By DPV and CV, both peak potential and current peak values were pH-dependent in all the pH range studied. A break at pH 5.5 in EP versus pH plot revealing a protonation–deprotonation (pKa) equilibrium of bromhexine was observed. Spectrophotometrically, an apparent pKa value of 4.3 was also determined.
An electrodic mechanism involving the oxidation of bromhexine via two-electrons and two-protons was proposed. Controlled potential electrolysis followed by HPLC–UV and GC–MS permitted the identification of three oxidation products: N-methylcyclohexanamine, 2-amino-3,5-dibromobenzaldehyde and 2,4,8,10-tetrabromo dibenzo[b,f][1,5] diazocine.
DPV at pH 2 was selected as optimal pH for analytical purposes. Repeatability, reproducibility and selectivity parameters were adequate to quantify bromhexine in pharmaceutical forms. The recovery was 94.50 ± 2.03% and the detection and quantitation limits were 1.4 × 10−5 and 1.6 × 10−5 mol L−1, respectively. Furthermore, the DPV method was applied successfully to individual tablet assay in order to verify the uniformity content of bromhexine. No special treatment of sample were required due to excipients do not interfered with the analytical signal. Finally the method was not time-consuming and less expensive than the HPLC one. 相似文献
The reaction of C2H6with lattice oxygen, O2- (in the absence of gaseous oxygen), or “adsorbedℍ oxygen (in the presence of gaseous oxygen) over NiMoO4 catalysts has been performed and compared to C3H8 activation. The results obtained indicate that adsorbed oxygen exhibits a higher reactivity to C2H6, while lattice oxygen is more reactive relative to C3H8. Kinetic studies of these two reactions in presence of molecular oxygen have indeed shown that the ethane oxidative dehydrogenation
(ODH) is dependent on the oxygen partial pressure, whilst on the contrary propane ODH is not. In order to confirm the presence
of “adsorbed” oxygen for ethane activation, ODH tests have been performed with N2O. On increasing temperature, the O- adsorbed species enhances the mild oxidation of ethane. The activation energy of ethane consumption EC2H6, relative to propane (EC3H8 = 133 kJ/mol) is 145 kJ/mol. A possible mechanism is proposed for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane.

We have studied the rate of 15 reactions of acyl transfer from O-acyl salts of 4-dimethylaminostyryl-4-pyridine N-oxide to 4-morpholinopyridine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine N-oxides in acetonitrile solutions. Analysis of the results based on the Shaik – Pross approach and the Marcus equation shows that if the structure of the acyl group is varied, then the reactivity is determined by such parameters as the resonance interaction in the transition state (B) or the internal barrier (G0) of the reaction. 相似文献
Activation of CO2 at Transition Metal Centres: The Route of the CO2 Reduction at Nikel(0) Moieties A competing reaction in the catalytic cyclooligomerization of hex-3-yne and CO2 at the (TMED)Ni(0)-fragment (TMED = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylendiamine) is the formation of carbon monoxide and (TMED)Ni(CO3). So it is possible to explain the generation of II (TMED)Ni(diethylmalicacidanhydride) and III (a nickel trimer with two (TMED)Ni(CO3) units). Both complexes are characterized by X-ray analysis. The reduction of CO2 to CO most likely proceeds via an intermediate in which two molecules of carbon dioxide are coupled head-to-tail to form a metallacycle. An ab initio scf geometry optimization supports the existence of such an intermediate. 相似文献
The relative rates for the addition reactions of tert-butyl radical to 2-substituted ally chlorides I have een determined. The correlation of log k/k0, vs. σm gives a ρ mvalue of 3.59 with correlation coefficient of 0.930. When the substituent CH2Cl is excluded, correlation coefficient raises to 0.990 and ρ value becomes 3.39. The large p value and the deviation of relative rate of substituent CH2C1 are discussed. 相似文献
Structures and energetics of reactants, transition states and cycloadducts of cycloadditions of nitrone with three-fluorinated dipolarophiles have been investigated with the density functional theory method B3LYP/6-31G*. Analysis of the results on the different reaction pathways shows that the reaction takes place along a concerted mechanism and proceeds more or less synchronously. The FMO analysis shows a strong HOMOdipole-LUMOdipolarophile interaction as the principal reason for the reactivity in these 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Regioselectivity of the products of the reaction is predicted reliably by our calculations, the results provide a good prediction of the relatives rates observed experimentally as the dipolarophiles are varied. 相似文献
