Voltammetry in Undiluted Acetic Acid. In Situ Determination of Water

Water present in undiluted acetic acid can be monitored in situ with Pt and Au microelectrodes using differential pulse and square‐wave voltammetries. Both reduction and oxidation peaks can be obtained. The best quantitative analytical results were obtained for the anodic peak, the Pt microelectrode, and differential pulse voltammetry. The anodic water peak is located at +1.55 V vs. the quasi reference Pt electrode. The voltammetric peak obtained at Pt electrode is apparently not a diffusional one, however, the calibration plot obtained by employing this peak is linear over a wide concentration range, up to 4 mol dm^?3. The detection limit has been estimated as 2.3 mM or 0.0043 v/v%. The developed method may be particularly useful, since the Karl Fischer method can not be used to determine water in glacial acetic acid due to the estrification reaction of acetic acid with methanol. A voltammetric wave of undiluted acetic acid could not be obtained in the positive and negative ranges of potential.

Apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous solutions of acetic,propanoic and succinic acids,sodium acetate and sodium propanoate from 300 to 525 K and a pressure of 28 MPa

The apparent molar heat capacities of dilute aqueous solutions of acetic, propanoic and succinic acid and sodium salts of the two monofunctional acids were measured at 300 Kp,2 ^o . After subtracting the heat capacity of a point mass, the remaining heat capacity was successfully decomposed into functional group contributions at all temperatures. Together with the results of our previous paper on alcohols and diols the heat capacity contributions of the CH₂, CH₃, OH, COOH, (COOH)₂, and COONa groups are now available and these allow reasonably accurate predictions of the heat capacities of all compounds composed of these groups in this temperature range.     

3-(4-Hydroxymethylphenylsulfanyl)propanoic acid (HMPPA) as a new safety catch linker in solid phase peptide synthesis

A new safety catch linker, 3-(4-hydroxymethylphenylsulfanyl)propanoic acid (HMPPA), is described for use in solid phase peptide synthesis. The linker is readily synthesized from commercially available chemicals in a more cost efficient way compared to similar reported linkers. The HMPPA linker is easily attached to an amino derivatized solid support followed by on-resin oxidation of the thioether to sulfoxide, thereby making the linker very stable towards strong acid treatment. Final resin cleavage is performed by reductive acidolysis.

Optically active camphordihydro-2,3-pyrazine and camphorquinoxaline were prepared from camphoroquinone enantiomers. It was shown that (1S,4R)-(+)-camphoroquinone was formed by oxidation of (1S,3R, 4R)-(−)-3-bromocamphor and (1R,4S)-(−)-camphoroquinone from (1R,3S, 4S)-(+)-3-bromocamphor, respectively. Camphor anhydride was a side product (6–10%) of the reaction. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 50–52, January–February, 2007.     

Intramolecular Nonbonded Interactions Between Oxygen and Group VIA Elements: An Ab Initio Molecular Orbital and Density Functional Theory Investigation of the Structures of HX—CH2—COOH (X=S,Se, and Te)

Ab initio molecular orbital and density functional methods have been used to study the potential energy surfaces of the substituted acetic acids HX—CH₂—COOH, where X is one of the Group VIA Chalcophiles S, Se, or Te. The various conformers adopted by these compounds provide information regarding the energetic importance of nonbonded and hydrogen bonding interactions involving oxygen atoms with different hybridizations. Density functional and ab initio molecular orbital methods yield similar structural and energetic trends for these compounds. Calculations show that the structure of the lowest-energy conformer of each of these acids has the X—C—C—O backbone substantially twisted from planarity, similar to that previously observed for the corresponding aldehydes, HX—CH₂—CHO. In the twisted acid structures the shortest distance is within about 0.1 Å of the sum of the X and O van der Waals radii, which reduces overcrowding of the lone pairs of electrons on these atoms. In conformers where the heavy atom backbone is planar, one of the distances is significantly shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii, and the total molecular energy of these conformers is higher than that of the twisted forms. The variation of X—H vibrational frequencies among conformers reflects the extent of X—H hydrogen bonding, and indicates that formation of this hydrogen bond is not the dominant factor in determining the lowest-energy conformation. When X is oxygen (HO—CH₂—COOH), the lowest-energy conformer is also nonplanar, whereas for the corresponding aldehyde, HO—CH₂—CHO, the lowest-energy conformer is a planar structure with C_S symmetry. The conformational preferences of these simple species provide reference points for inter- and intramolecular interactions in more complex systems of biological interest.     

二聚体有机锡配合物{[n-Bu2Sn(O2CCH2CS2NC4H8)]2O}2的合成，表征及晶体结构(英)

The title compound, {[n-Bu₂Sn(O₂CCH₂CS₂NC₄H₈)]₂O}₂, has been synthesized by the reaction of (tetrahydro-pyrrodithiolocarbamoylthio)acetic acid with the di-n-bubyltin oxide in 1∶1 molar ratio. The complex has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR. The crystal structure of it has been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. And the results showed that the crystal belongs to triclinic system with space group P1 and some crystal parameters: a=1.220 2(9) nm, b=1.315 8(10) nm, c=1.380 4(10) nm, α=111.215(9)°， β=99.357(9)°， γ=96.075(10)°, V=2.006(2) nm³, Z=1, F(000)=908, μ=1.489 mm^-1, D_c=1.474 g·cm^-3, R₁=0.037 5, wR₂=0.0839. The complex has a centrosymmetric dimer structure mode with a four-membered central endo-cyclic Sn₂O₂ unit in which two bridged oxygen atoms both connect with an exo-cyclic tin atom which has a distorted octahedron. Each of the endo-cyclic tin atoms exhibits a distorted trigonal bipyramid coordination geometry with an additional weak coordination carboxylate oxygen. Four carboxylate ligands are divided into two types. And two of them are bidentate and connecting to each of exo-cyclic tin atoms by using both oxygen atoms, whereas the others bridge to each pair of exo-and endo-cyclic tin atoms utilizing one oxygen atom only.

Selective Detection of Dopamine and Its Metabolite,DOPAC, in the Presence of Ascorbic Acid Using Diamond Electrode Modified by the Polymer Film

The surface of boron‐doped diamond (BDD) electrode is modified by the polymer film for the first time. The cationic polymer film of N,N‐dimethylaniline (DMA) is electrochemically deposited on BDD electrode surface. This polymer (PDMA) film‐coated BDD electrode is used as a sensor which selectively detect dopamine (DA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA). This electrode also can detect both DA and its metabolite, 3,4‐dihydroxy phenyl acetic acid (DOPAC) in the presence of AA in the range of the physiological concentrations of these species. Favorable ionic interaction (i.e., electrostatic attraction) between the PDMA film and AA or DOPAC lowers their oxidation potentials and enhances the current response for AA and DOPAC compared to that at the bare electrode. The PDMA film also shows a hydrophobic interaction with DA and DOPAC. In cyclic voltammetric measurements, the PDMA film‐coated electrode can successfully separate the oxidation potentials for AA and DA coexisting in the same solution and the separation is about 200 mV. AA oxidizes at more negative potential than DA. In square‐wave voltammetry, the sensitivity of the PDMA film‐coated BDD electrode for DA in the presence of higher concentration of AA is higher than that of the PDMA film‐coated glassy carbon electrode. The hydrodynamic amperometric experiments confirm that the oxidation of AA is not affected by the oxidized product of DA and vice versa. So, unlike the bare electrode the catalytic oxidation of AA by the oxidized DA is eliminated at the PDMA film‐coated BDD electrode. The sensitivities of the modified electrode for AA, DA and DOPAC, which are present in the same solution with their physiological concentration ratios, are calculated to be 0.070, 0.363 and 0.084 μA μM^?1, respectively. The modified electrode exhibits a stable and sensitive response to DA.
