The hydroquinone-dimethyl sulfoxide-toluene system was investigated by thermal and X-ray diffraction analyses. The crystal structure of the 1:1 complex of hydroquinone with dimethyl sulfoxide was determined. Crystal data: C₈H₁₂O₃S, M = 188.24, triclinic system, space group P1¯, unit cell parameters: a = 7.4202(2) Å, b = 8.4046(3) Å, c = 8.7340(3) Å; α = 100.830(1)°, β = 99.794(1)°, γ = 114.129(1)°; V = 469.35(4) ų, Z = 2, d _calc = 1.332 g/cm³, R1 = 0.028, T = 100 K. The molecules are linked in a supramolecular assembly via D-H...A hydrogen bonds (D = O, C; A = O, π).     

Elucidating the Stereochemistry of Enzymatic Benzylsuccinate Synthesis with Chirally Labeled Toluene

Benzylsuccinate synthase is a glycyl radical enzyme that initiates anaerobic toluene metabolism by adding fumarate to the methyl group of toluene to yield (R)‐benzylsuccinate. To investigate whether the reaction occurs with retention or inversion of configuration at the methyl group of toluene, we synthesized both enantiomers of chiral toluene with all three H isotopes in their methyl groups. The chiral toluenes were converted into benzylsuccinates preferentially containing ²H and ³H at their benzylic C atoms, owing to a kinetic isotope effect favoring hydrogen abstraction from the methyl groups. The configuration of the products was analyzed by enzymatic CoA‐thioester synthesis and stereospecific oxidation using enzymes involved in benzylsuccinate degradation. Assessment of the configurations of the benzylsuccinate isomers based on loss or retention of tritium showed that inversion of configuration at the methyl group occurs when the chiral toluenes react with fumarate.

Solubilities of benzene, toluene and diphenyl in the t-butyl alcohol+water mixtures and hydrophobic interaction

The solubilitices of benzene, toluene and diphenyl in mixed solvents of t-butyl alcohol (TBA) and water at 283.15, 288.15, 293.15 and 298.15 K have been determined by spectrophotometry. The mole fraction of TBA [x (TBA)] in the mixed solvent are 0.000, 0.010, 0.020, 0.030, 0.040, 0.045, 0.050, 0.060, 0.080 and 0.100, respectively. The standard Gibbs energies of solution of benzene, toluene and diphenyl in the mixed solvent have also been calculated based on the solubility data. The hydrophobic interactions (HI) for the pairs of benzene-benzene, methane-benzene and methane-methane in the mixed solvent were calculated and discussed.     

Study of complexation between difluorostannylene and aromatics by matrix IR spectroscopy

Complexes (1:1) between difluorostannylene and benzene, chlorobenzene, and toluene as well as the (PhH)₂·SnF₂ complex were obtained and characterized by matrix IR spectroscopy. The capability of carbene analogs to form labile complexes with aromatics was demonstrated for the first time taking SnF₂ as an example. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Determination of 1,4-Dioxane in Toluene by Gas Chromatography

A gas chromatographic method is presented for determining from 1 to 100 μg/mL of 1,4-dioxane in toluene with purities ranging from commercial to high-purity grades. This method relies on extracting 1,4-dioxane from toluene into water. The water extract is analyzed for 1,4-dioxane content by gas chromatography/flame ionization detection and a capillary column coated with a bonded polyethylene glycol stationary phase. Splitless injection is used to achieve a 1 μg/mL detection limit. Purging extracts with nitrogen after an initial analysis is suggested as an extract clean-up procedure and as a means to confirm the identification of 1,4-dioxane. However, for absolute identification of dioxane, gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy should be considered.     

Chemical composition and antioxidant activity of Borago officinalis L. leaf extract growing in Algeria

The aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts of borage (Borago officinalis) leaves from Annaba region (Algeria) were preliminary analyzed for their phenolic profile (total phenolics, total flavonoids, total flavonols, total tannins and total anthocyanins). These extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant properties by different methods such as DPPH radical scavenging, test NBT and total antioxidant activity. The two extracts have exhibited a high antiradical capacity. Indeed, the ethanolic extract showed the lower IC50 values and the highest amount of phenolics (94.09 ± 1.72 mg gallic acid/g dry extract). Using LC-MS/MS analysis, it was possible to identify phenolic acids, flavonoids, sterol and for the first time oleuropein was identified in the aqueous extract of the plant. The obtained results have demonstrated that phenolic compounds are the major contributor to the antioxidant activity of plants.
