High-valent [Sn(Br8TPP)(OTf)2] as a highly efficient and reusable catalyst for selective methoxymethylation of alcohols and phenols: The effect of substituted bromines on the catalytic activity

High-valent tin(IV)octabromotetraphenylporphyrinato trifluoromethanesulfonate, [Sn^IV(Br₈TPP)(OTf)₂], was used for selective methoxymethylation of alcohols and phenols with formaldehyde dimethyl acetal (FDMA) at room temperature. Different primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols as well as phenols were converted to their corresponding methoxymethyl ethers with FMDA in the presence of an electron deficient tin(IV) porphyrin. The catalyst was reused several times without significant loss of its activity.

Time-dependent density functional theory study on electronic excited states of the hydrogen-bonded solute-solvent phenol-(H2O)n (n=3-5) clusters

The solute-solvent interactions of hydrogen-bonded phenol-(H₂O)_n (n=3-5) clusters in electronic excited states were investigated by means of the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method. The geometric structures and IR spectra in ground state, S₁ state, and T₁ state of the clusters, were calculated using the density functional theory (DFT) and TDDFT methods. Only the ring form isomer, the most stable one of the cluster, was considered in this study. Four, five and six intermolecular hydrogen bonds were formed in phenol-(H₂O)₃, phenol-(H₂O)₄, and phenol-(H₂O)₅ clusters, respectively. Based on the analysis of IR spectra, it is revealed that the “window region” between unshifted and shifted absorption bands in both S₁ and T₁ state becomes broader compared with that in ground state for the corresponding clusters. Furthermore, two interesting phenomenon were observed: (1) with the anticlockwise order of the ring formed by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the H-bonded phenol-(H₂O)_n (n=3-5) clusters, the strengths of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds decrease in all the S₀, S₁ and T₁ states; (2) upon electronic excitation, the smaller the distance between phenol and water is, the larger the change of intermolecular hydrogen bonds strength is. Moreover, the intermolecular hydrogen bond (phenolic OH is the H donor) is strengthened in excited state compared with that in ground state. But the intermolecular hydrogen bond (phenolic OH is the H acceptor) is weakened in excited state.     

CPA矩阵分光光度法同时测定三种酚

在无水乙醇介质中，对乙酰胺基酚，对氨基酚、对硝基酚三者的紫外吸收光谱相互严重重叠，用一般的光度分析手段无法同时测定。本文首次采用CPA矩阵法，不经分离直接测定了上述三组分的含量，实验结果表明：当选取216、234、260、292、312nm5个波长点作为CPA矩阵程序的最佳波长点时，该法对样品中各组分的平均回收率在100.2%－103.5%之间，结果较满意，与现行分析方法相比，本方法具有简便、快速的优点。本法已用于扑热息痛合成物中三组分含量的测定。

A NEW MODEL FOR ESTIMATION OF DIFFUSION COEFFICIENT OF PHENOL DESORPTION WITHIN POLYMERIC RESIN UNDER ULTRASOUND

4 new model, phase equilibrium-kinetics model (PEKM), for estimation of diffusioncoefficient was proposed in this paper. Kinetic experiments of phenol desorption on NKAII resin inthe presence and the absence of ultrasound were separately conducted, and diffusion coefficients ofphenol within an adsorbent particle were estimated by means of proposed PEKM and classicsimplified model. Results show that the use of ultrasound not only changes the phase equilibriumstate of NKAll resin/phenol/water system which had been equilibrium at normal condition, but alsoenhances diffusion of phenol within the resin. The diffusion coefficient of phenol in the resin in thefield of ultrasound increases in an order of magnitude in comparison with the diffusion coefficientdetermined under no ultrasound Experimental results also indicated that the diffusion coefficientsestimated by PEKM were more accurate than that estimated by the classic simplified model.

Isolation and bioactivities of organic acids and phenols from walnut shell pyroligneous acid

Based on differences in acidity, organic acids and phenols were enriched by pH gradient extraction method from walnut shell pyroligneous acid. Contents of organic acids and phenols were measured by acid-base titration method and Folin colorimetric assay, respectively to assess the effectiveness of the extraction. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of the organic acids and antioxidant activity of phenols extracted were investigated. Chemical components of the extracts that were from the optimal concentrations of NaHCO₃ and NaOH were measured by GC-MS. The results showed that 5% NaHCO₃ could enrich the highest amount of organic acids, whereas 4% NaOH could enrich the highest amount of phenols. The enriched organic acids exhibited high antimicrobial activity, and the enriched phenols exhibited antioxidant activity under low concentrations, and demonstrated dosage dependency.
