Partition Behavior of Anilines in Bulk‐Phase and High‐Performance Liquid Chromatographic Systems: Influence on Correlation with Biological Constants

1992

Abstract The partition behavior of a mixed series of ring‐substituted anilines in reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatographic systems is substantially different from that observed in a classical bulk‐phase partition system with n ‐heptane as the aprotic reference solvent. On the basis of the equivalence of each ring substituent in the p ‐straight‐chain methylene groups (ν value) as a function of the fraction of organic solvent (acetonitrile or methanol) in the mobile phase, the biased partition behavior for imperfect homologues and heterologues is verified relative to that of perfect homologues. This behavior was tentatively attributed, mainly, to differences in the hydrogen bond…

Ionic liquids as solvents for the Knoevenagel condensation: understanding the role of solvent–solute interactions

2015

The Knoevenagel condensation in ionic liquids has been demonstrated as a strongly solvent-dependent process. The objective of this study was to establish a simple and descriptive trend of solvent–solute interactions that favour the Knoevenagel condensation in ionic liquid media. The reaction between 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate in several imidazolium- and pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquids and one ionic liquid mixture was studied. The rate constants were rationalised by studying the change in the 1H NMR chemical shift of representative starting materials in the ionic liquids and the measurement and consideration of the Kamlet–Taft descriptors for each solvent. The hyd…

Equilibrium and kinetic studies on complex formation and decomposition and the movement of Cu2+metal ions within polytopic receptors

2013

Potentiometric studies carried out on the interaction of two tritopic double-scorpiand receptors in which two equivalent 5-(2-aminoethyl)-2,5,8-triaza[9]-(2,6)-pyridinophane moieties are linked with 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline (L1) and 2,6-dimethylpyridine (L2) establish the formation of mono-, bi- and trinuclear Cu(2+) complexes. The values of the stability constants and paramagnetic (1)H NMR studies permit one to infer the most likely coordination modes of the various complexes formed. Kinetic studies on complex formation and decomposition have also been carried out. Complex formation occurs with polyphasic kinetics for both receptors, although a significant difference is found between bot…

Metallic lead recovery from lead-acid battery paste by urea acetate dissolution and cementation on iron

2009

Abstract A suitable hydrometallurgical and environmentally friendly process was studied to replace the currently used practices for recycling lead-acid batteries via smelting. Metallic lead was recovered by cementation from industrial lead sludge solutions of urea acetate (200 to 500 g/L) using different types of metallic iron substrates (nails, shaving or powder) as reducing agents. Under specific operating conditions, up to 99.7% of lead acid battery paste, mainly composed of PbSO4, PbO2 and PbO·PbSO4 species, was converted to metallic lead.. The conversion of the metallic lead and rate of the cementation reaction were strictly dependent on the type of iron substrate used as the reductant…

Entropy-controlled diastereoselectivity in the photocyclization of rigid derivatives of o-allylaniline.

2002

Two rigid derivatives of o-allylaniline, namely 8-allyl-2-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (1b) and 7-(trans-2-cinnamyl)-2-methylindoline (1c), have been chosen as suitable systems to study the potential stereoselectivity of the photocyclization process. Photolysis of 1b leads to a mixture of diastereomeric lilolidines 4 (trans/cis), while 1cproduces a mixture of 4 (trans/cis) and the tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2,1-hi]indole derivatives 5 (trans/cis). To disclose whether the diastereoselectivity could be entropy dependent, photolysis of 1b and 1c has been performed at several temperatures. In both cases, linear relationships have been observed when ln(k(t)/k(c)) (the relative reaction rate const…

Synthesis and structure of the incomplete cuboidal clusters [W3Se4H3(dmpe)3]+, [W3Se4H3−x(OH)x(dmpe)3]+and [W3Se4(OH)3(dmpe)3]+, and the mechanism of…

2004

The novel incomplete cuboidal cluster [W3Se4H3(dmpe)3](PF6), [1](PF6), has been prepared by reduction of [W3Se4Br3(dmpe)3](PF6) with LiBH4 in THF solution. The trihydroxo complex [W3Se4(OH)3(dmpe)3](PF6), [2](PF6), was obtained by reacting [W3Se4Br3(dmpe)3](PF6) with NaOH in MeCN–H2O solution. The complexes [1](PF6) and [2](PF6) were converted to their BPh4− salts by treatment with NaBPh4. Recrystallisation of [1](BPh4) in the presence of traces of water affords the mixed dihydride hydroxo complex [W3Se4H2(OH)(dmpe)3](BPh4). The crystal structures of [1](BPh4), [2](BPh4) and [W3Se4H2(OH)(dmpe)3](BPh4) have been resolved. Although the [1]+ trihydride does not react with an excess of halide s…

Dinuclear Zn II Complexes of Polydentate Polyamines as Minimalist Models of Hydrolytic Reactions

2004

The synthesis of the novel macrocycle 2,6,9,12,16-pentaaza[17](2,9)(1,10)phenanthrolinophane (L3) is reported. Speciation studies on the systems ZnII−L3 and ZnII−L2 (L2 =2,6,10,13,17,21-hexaaza[22]metacyclophane) performed in aqueous solution show the formation of mono- and dinuclear ZnII complexes. In the two systems, the dinuclear complexes readily hydroxylate, with the hydroxo species being the main ones in solution at relatively low pH values. This feature makes these complexes promising hydrolytic agents for carboxy and phosphate esters. The hydrolytic ability of the L1−L3 dinuclear complexes toward the carboxy and phosphate ester bond was tested by addition of p-nitrophenyl acetate (N…

Electrochemical and Electronic Structure Investigations of the [S3N3]• Radical and Kinetic Modeling of the [S4N4]n/[S3N3]n (n = 0, −1) Interconversion

2009

Voltammetric studies of S4N4 employing both cyclic (CV) and rotating disk (RDE) methods in CH2Cl2 at a glassy carbon electrode reveal a one-electron reduction at −1.00 V (versus ferrocene/ferrocenium), which produces a second redox couple at −0.33 V, confirmed to be the electrochemically generated [S3N3]− by CV studies on its salts. Diffusion coefficients (CH2Cl2/0.4 M [nBu4N][PF6]) estimated by RDE methods: S4N4, 1.17 × 10−5 cm2 s−1; [S3N3]−, 4.00 × 10−6 cm2 s−1. Digital simulations of the CVs detected slow rates of electron transfer for both couples and allowed for a determination of rate constants for homogeneous chemical reaction steps subsequent to electron transfer. The common paramet…
