Amino acids produced in the γ-radiation-initiated carboxylation of ethylamine, propylamine, isopropylamine, butane-1,4-diamine and pyrrolidine have been characterized. Isomeric distributions of amino acids from each amine have been determined. These distributions reflect the isomeric distribution of amine radicals present, and hence yield information on the initial site of hydrogen abstraction by radiolytically generated hydroxyl radicals. Factors influencing the sites of abstraction are discussed.

Amino acids produced in the γ-radiation-induced carboxylation of pyrrolidine and formate in neutral aqueous solution have been studied. Two products only were found in the ratio 1 : 5.5. The minor product, proline, and the major product, pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid, have been characterized. Their presence indicates that the predominant site of hydrogen abstraction from pyrrolidine by radiation-generated hydroxyl radicals is β to the amino group.

Polycrystalline amino acids, when irradiated with 2537 Å light, afford a variety of electron spin resonance signals. These signals are generally stable at room temperature for relatively long periods of time. For a number of the spectra obtained, there is evidence that more than one radical species contributes to the observed spectra. The signals obtained frequently differ from those obtained on exposure to ionizing radiation. The postulated species formed can often be visualized as being formed by effective hydrogen abstraction from the alkyl-substituted tertiary carbon atom or from the —OH, —SH or —NH group contained in the side chain. For L-phenylalanine a secondary radical is obtained, which is ascribed to a cyclohexadienyl radical.

AbstractAn interesting observation was made when studying the SNAr reaction between several 4-aryloxy-7-nitrobenzofurazans (2) and several amino acids leading to the apparition of detectable fluorescence from the substitution products3. Acidic amino acids reacted very slowly=while basic amino acids react fastest with2 having an unsubstituted phenyl or a 4-formyl-phenyl Ar group. Amongst neutral amino acids, proline reacts fastest at room temperature after 100 min. With2 having a methoxy-subtituted Ar group.

Saturated aqueous chloroform solutions (0.07 M) with pH ranging from 0.8 to 12.6 have been irradiated with 60Co γ-radiation in the presence and absence of air. G(Cl− + ClO−) increases with increasing pH in the pH range 1–3 (aerated solutions) or 3–6 (deaerated solutions) and again at pH greater than 10.5. The variation in yield from aerated solutions in the region pH 1–3 is attributed to competition between chloroform and hydrogen ions for hydrated electrons. However, such competition cannot account for the pH effect observed in deaerated solutions between pH 3 and 6. Increased yields from both aerated and deaerated solutions at high pH are attributed to the formation of O− by reaction of hydroxyl radicals and hydroxide ions. Formic acid and oxalic acid have been identified as minor products when aerated chloroform solutions are irradiated.
