Green Oxidations. Manganese(II) Sulfate Aided Oxidations of Organic Compounds by Potassium Permanganate

Summary. The oxidation of arenes and sulfides by potassium permanganate was accomplished in good yields under solvent free and heterogeneous conditions when manganese(II) sulfate is used as a solid support. After extraction of the organic products, the inorganic products can be reoxidized to permanganate. This result is important because it provides an approach to oxidation reactions that is, in theory, infinitely sustainable.     

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of nitroarenes with alkyl- or arylthio groups in dimethyl sulfoxide by means of cesium carbonate

Treatment of nitroarenes having electron-withdrawing groups at the ortho or para position with alkanethiol in the presence of cesium carbonate in dimethyl sulfoxide at 25 °C leads to nucleophilic displacement of the nitro group with the alkylthio group. Cesium carbonate is superior to other bases such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, and triethylamine. The cesium-mediated nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction provides a mild yet powerful and user-friendly protocol for the synthesis of aryl sulfides.

Molecular modeling and docking of new 2-acetamidothiazole-based compounds as antioxidant agents

The highly versatile, 2-chloroacetamido-5-(4-chlorophenylazo)thiazole (2) was synthesized and used as a precursor for the production of five 2-(2-substitutedacetamido)thiazole compounds by its reaction with different types of nucleophiles such as piperidine, morpholine, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, 4,6-dimethyl-2-mercaptonicotinonitrile and 6-amino-2-mercapto pyrimidin-4-ol. DFT/B3LYP calculations of the isolated derivatives showed that their HOMO consisted mainly of the non-bonding lone pairs of heteroatoms while LUMO were π*-orbitals of the 2-acetamido-5-(4-chlorophenylazo)thiazole moiety. Despite the close energy gap values (ΔE_H-L) of the investigated compounds, the data showed that thiazole-pyrimidine derivative 8 has the highest energy gap while the thiazole-piperidine derivative 3a was the lowest. The DPPH antioxidant activity examination results, in comparison to BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene) and Ascorbic acid as controls, showed that sulfide compounds 4, 6, and 8 had more respectable inhibitions (IC₅₀ = 24.17–32.26 µg/mL). Moreover, the molecular docking studies of the synthesized derivatives using protein (PDB Code-2Y9X) indicated that the sulfide compounds 4, 6, and 8 had a superior binding score, ?6.3934, ?6.5735, and ?7.2835 kcal/mol, respectively. The docking results were satisfactory, and they matched the antioxidant investigation's conclusions.     

Voltammetric Determination of Low‐Molecular‐Weight Sulfur Compounds in Hydrothermal Vent Fluids – Studies with Hydrogen Sulfide,Methanethiol, Ethanethiol and Propanethiol

Determination of sulfide compounds in hydrothermal vent fluid samples was performed by DPCSV. The methodology was applied to speciate sulfides via primitive and first‐derivative curve interpretation. Hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, and propanethiol were simultaneously assayed in samples containing no ethanethiol. In the presence of ethanethiol, the organic sulfides were determined without speciation. Sulfides were determined in an acidic electrolyte, and detection limits ranging from 0.1 to 1.1 μmol L^?1 were calculated. The method was tested in real hydrothermal vent fluid samples, with recoveries ranging from 86.9% (R–SH) to 115.3% (H₂S). Interference of the metallic species present in seawater was investigated.

Improvements of reliability for methylmercury determination in environmental samples

The determination of methylmercury (MeHg) in environmental samples by ethylation derivation-gas chromatography-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (ED-GC-AFS) is associated with an intimate problem of water moisture accumulation introduced in the ethylation step, which enters the detection system and cause a spectroscopic interference. With a simple modification on the GC-AFS system, this problem was eliminated and the analytical quality of the measurements was significantly improved. The presence of dissolved sulfide in samples can also cause serious chemical interference in the ethylation step resulting in lower or total loss of the MeHg signal. It was found that a masking system of CuSO₄-Na₂C₂O₄ was able to eliminate this interference. With this system, the accurate determination of trace amount of MeHg in high dissolved sulfide containing samples was achieved. Satisfactory analytical results were obtained with the certified reference sediment IAEA405, sulfate reducing bacteria culture and sulfide containing water samples. The limit of detection and quantitation of this masking system is 0.01 and 0.04 ng L⁻¹ respectively. Other factors affecting ethylation are also discussed.
