Solvent-Free One-Pot Synthesis of Sulfonephthaleins from Saccharin and Phenols

Sulfonephthaleins can be synthesized in a single pot from saccharin and phenol via the in situ formation of 2-sulfobenzoic anhydride, followed by its reaction with phenol using H₂SO₄ as the condensing agent, in the absence of any solvent. This solvent-free synthesis is more economical and environmentally benign.     

Studies on the Electrochemistry of Dopamine at a Pyrocatechol Sulfonephthalein Modified Glassy Carbon electrode

IntroductionThere has been a considerable interest in developing the methods to measure the secretionneurotransmitters. Electrochemical teChniques have proven to be significantly advantageous tothe biosciencesLlj. The application of ultramicroelectrodes to neuroscien.ce, which has been pioneered by Adams[2], to monitor the concentration of neurotransmitters in the central nervesystem has had a special impact. Several neurotransmitters, e. g., dopamine(DA) are electroactlve and therefore can …     

Electrochemical Characterization of Pyrocatechol Sulfonephthalein-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode and Separation of Electrocatalytic Responses for Ascorbic Acid and Dopamine Oxidation

A pyrocatechol sulfonephthalein- (PS-) modified glassy carbon (PS/GC) electrode has been prepared by adsorption of PS on a glassy carbon electrode surface. Cyclic voltammograms of the PS/GC electrode indicate the presence of a couple of well-defined redox peaks, and the formal potential shifts in the negative direction with increasing solution pH. The relation between formal potential,E^0′, and solution pH can be fit to the equationE^0′(mV) = −51.4 pH + 538.7. The PS/GC electrode shows high electrocatalytic activity toward ascorbic acid oxidation, with an overpotential ca. 380 mV less than that of the bare electrode and a drastic enhancement of the anodic currents. The electrocatalytic reaction rate constant (k), which was decreased with increasing concentration of H₂A, was determined using rotating disk electrode measurements. The values ofkwas also affected by the solution pH. The electrode can also separate the electrochemical responses of ascorbic acid and dopamine. The separation between the anodic peak potentials of ascorbic acid and dopamine is more than 50 mV by the differential pulse voltammetry.
