Isobaric Vapor−Liquid and Liquid−Liquid Equilibria for Chloroform + Methanol + 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Trifluoromethanesulfonate at 100 kPa
2009
Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria for the binary system chloroform + methanol as well as the vapor−liquid equilibria for the chloroform + methanol + [emim][triflate] ternary system have been obtained at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The ternary ionic liquid (IL) system presents an immiscibility zone at high chloroform composition, which increases with the temperature. Liquid−liquid equilibria for this system have also been determined. The measured ternary vapor−liquid equilibrium data were correlated using the Mock’s electrolyte nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model which reproduces reasonably well the experimental values and predicts the total disappearance of the azeotrope when the mole…
Separation of the enantiomers of primary and secondary amphetamines by liquid chromatography after derivatization with (−)-1-(9-fluorenyl)ethyl chlor…
2003
The chiral reagent (−)-1-(9-fluorenyl)ethyl chloroformate (FLEC) has been evaluated for the enantioselective analysis of amphetamines by liquid chromatography. For separation of the FLEC diastereomers conventional reversed-phase conditions were used. The conditions affording the best enantiomeric resolution and sensitivity were determined for amphetamine, methamphetamine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), and 3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDE). All the amphetamines assayed could be separated with resolution factors ranging from 0.91 to 1.92. Although FLEC is typically used as a fluorogenic reagent, it was shown t…
Secondary structure conformation of hydroperoxide lyase from green bell pepper, cloned in Yarrowia lipolytica, and its activity in selected media
2008
International audience; Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy of secondary structure conformation of the purified green bell pepper hydroperoxide lyase (HPL), cloned in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, was investigated. The CD spectra of HPL in iso-octane, obtained at 60 °C, in the presence of the reducing agent dithiothreitol showed dramatic increase in α-helix content. The enzyme conformation remained unchanged over a range of pH values of 5.0–7.0. Using 13-hydroperoxide of linoleic acid (13-HPOD) as substrate, the biocatalysis of HPL in organic solvent media, including chloroform, dichloromethane, hexane, iso-octane, octane and toluene, was investigated. The results indicated an increase in…
Reversible Dimerization of Tetraureas Derived from Calix[4]Arenes
1999
Calix[4]arene derivatives, substituted at the wider rim by four urea functions are easily available in great variety. In apolar solvents like benzene or chloroform they dimerize via NH…O=C hydrogen bonds encapsulating a single solvent molecule as guest. The exclusive formation of dimers has been proved in solution by NMR, while their shape has been characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. The kinetic stability and the rate of the guest exchange have been studied by NOESY experiments using a derivative with lower symmetry.
Tin(IV) and organotin(IV) complexes containing mono or bidentate N-donor ligands
1998
Abstract A series of adducts of the type [(L # ) y R n SnX 4− n ]· z H 2 O (L # =1-methylimidazole, y =1 or 2, R=Me, Et, Bu n or Ph, n =1, 2 or 3, X=Cl, Br or I, z =0, 1/2 or 1) has been characterized in the solid state and in solution by analyses, spectral (IR, 119 Sn Mossbauer, and 1 H, 13 C and 119 Sn NMR) data and conductivity measurements. The molecular weight determinations and the NMR data indicate that these organotin(IV) complexes partly dissociate in chloroform and acetone solution. The donor L # interacts with [(CH 3 ) 3 SnNO 3 ], yielding the 2:1 ionic complex [(L # ) 2 (CH 3 ) 3 Sn]NO 3 . The derivative [(L # ) 2 (CH 3 ) 2 SnCl 2 ] reacts with NaClO 4 , AgNO 3 , NaBPh 4 and KSC…
Intra- and intermolecular forces dependent main chain conformations of esters of α,β-dehydroamino acids
2013
Abstract Esters of dehydroamino acids occur in nature. To investigate their conformational properties, the low-temperature structures of Ac-ΔAla-OMe, Ac-ΔVal-OMe, Z-(Z)-ΔAbu-OMe, and Z-(Z)-ΔAbu-NHMe were studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The ΔAla ester prefers the fully extended conformation C5. Both the ΔVal and (Z)-ΔAbu esters assume the conformation β, whereas the amide analogue of the latter prefers the conformation α. For the conformations found, DFT calculations using B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) with the SCRF-PCM and M062X/6-311++G(d,p) with the SCRF-SMD method were applied to mimicking chloroform and water environment. The tendency of the ΔVal and (Z)-ΔAbu esters towards the confo…
Flow injection near-infrared determination of ethanol in chloroform
1995
A simple and direct flow injection (FIA) procedure has been developed for the determination of the stabilizing agent ethanol in chloroform samples. The procedure is based on the use of the absorbance band of ethanol in the near-infrared (NIR) region at 2272 nm, measured in front of a reference sample of chloroform stabilized with amylene. The method developed provides a limit of detection of 0.0045% (v/v) and a dynamic range until 10% (v/v) with a typical variation coefficient of 0.4% for six independent analysis of a real sample containing approximately 1% (v/v) of ethanol. The sample injection frequency allowed by the method is 78 h−1.
Analysis of drugs including illicit and new psychoactive substances in oral fluids by gas chromatography-drift tube ion mobility spectrometry
2021
Abstract In this study, a gas chromatograph (GC) has been coupled to a drift tube ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) in order to develop an analytical procedure for the determination of psychoactive substances in oral fluids. Working parameters, including the GC-IMS interface ones, were adjusted in order to obtain sensitive and robust signals. A volume of 500 μL of oral fluid was extracted with 250 μL chloroform and, after centrifugation, were injected into the GC-IMS system. Amphetamine, methylone, α-PVP, ketamine, lidocaine, MPHP, cocaine, THJ-2201, and 5F-ADB were employed as model compounds, providing limits of detection from 6 to 15 μg L−1 and recoveries from 70 to 115% for field oral flu…
Analysis of methylamine by solid-phase microextraction and HPLC after on-fibre derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate
2004
Abstract A method for the determination of methylamine (MA) in aqueous matrices is reported which uses solid-phase microextraction (SPME) for enrichment and derivatization of the analyte, and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The fluorogenic reagent 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) has been used for derivatization. The SPME fibres were successively immersed in the samples and in the derivatization solutions to extract MA and FMOC, respectively. After a defined time of reaction, the derivatized analyte was desorbed into the chromatographic system, and chromatographed in a LiChrosphere 100 RP18, 125 mm ×4 mm i.d., 5 μm, column under gradient elution. In order to improve the…
A new selective method for dimethylamine in water analysis by liquid chromatography using solid-phase microextraction and two-stage derivatization wi…
2005
Abstract A new method is presented for the determination of DMA in water as its 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) derivative using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and liquid chromatography. The method is based on the employment of SPME fibres coated with carbowax-templated resin (CW-TR) for analyte extraction and derivatization. The fibres were successively immersed in the samples, in a solution of o -phthalaldialdehyde and N -acethyl- l -cysteine (OPA–NAC) and finally, in a solution of FMOC. OPA–NAC reacted on the fibre with possible primary aliphatic amines present in the samples, particularly with PA which is a direct interferent in the determination of DMA with FMOC. In such a w…
