The Difference

The condensation of lignin with phenol by treatment of spruce wood meal with this solvent, using hydrogen chloride as catalyst, yields two chemically different phenol lignins, namely, an ether-insoluble and an ether-dioxane–soluble phenol lignin, in a ratio of approximately 3 to 1. Duplicate preparations gave the same yields of these two fractions, analyses of which gave concordant results, indicating homogeneity and constancy of composition.The analytical results of the ether-insoluble phenol lignin, and of its methylated and acetylated derivatives, can be interpreted on the basis of the Brauns–Hibbert formula for the "native" lignin unit. It is found, in this way, that the ether-insoluble phenol lignin contains three new free phenolic hydroxyl groups capable of methylation with diazomethane, while one phenol group has reacted with one hydroxyl group in the lignin unit with formation of a phenyl-oxygen ether linkage.The analytical results of the ether-dioxane–soluble phenol lignin indicate that a much larger quantity of phenol has condensed with the "native" lignin building unit than in the case of the ether-insoluble fraction. The exact number of phenol molecules reacting to form this condensation product has not been determined experimentally although calculations based on analytical data point to a number as large as 15 or 21.The phenol condensation products were obtained from Freudenberg and Willstätter lignins in nearly quantitative yield and found to differ from the directly extracted phenol lignin in that neither of them could be resolved into two fractions, thus indicating that some change had taken place in the native lignin during the isolation process. The Brauns-Hibbert formula can also be applied to interpret the experimental data in both cases. These lignins appear to contain the same fundamental building unit as the ether-insoluble phenol lignin fraction isolated directly from spruce wood, with the difference that the former probably have one additional hydroxyl group capable of acetylation and diazomethane-methylation.The correlation found to exist in the present investigation between the phenol condensation products from native spruce lignin, isolated Freudenberg lignin and Willstätter lignin is regarded as providing definite experimental evidence indicating the presence of a chemical unit common to various lignins. The phenol condensation products, it is considered, may serve as valuable reference compounds for proving the identity of lignins obtained from different sources and by use of different chemical reagents.

Spruce sawdust was chlorinated under various conditions in an attempt to procure a homogeneous lignin chloride. Success finally attended the use of methyl alcohol as a medium for chlorination. The lignin chloride, which was dissolved by the alcohol during the chlorination and subsequently precipitated by the addition of water, was cream white in color, and analysis showed it to be an alcohol lignin.A homogeneous fraction (No. 2) was obtained from the re-chlorinated product, and it proved to be a chlorinated analogue of Hibbert's monomethylated methyl alcohol lignin, the formulas of the two products being C42H22O6Cl13(OH)2(OCH3)7, and C42H32O6(OH)3(OCH3)7. The molecular weight and the presence of the two hydroxyl groups were confirmed by acetylation, when 2.0 acetyl groups entered the molecule. Eleven of the chlorine atoms in Fraction 2 have evidently replaced ten hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl group by simple substitution in methyl alcohol lignin, leaving two chlorine atoms which have apparently entered to saturate a double bond. Seven of these chlorine atoms have been shown to be readily removable either by an alkali or by acid reduction. The other six, because of their stable union with the molecule, are surmised to be joined to an aromatic nucleus or at least to some type of ring structure. The product has been shown to react stoichiometrically within limits as narrow as could be expected for such a large molecule.

Phenol condensation products of glycol lignin, of a premethylated and a fully methylated glycol lignin have been prepared. In each case it has been found that, on the basis of the five methoxyl groups present in the original glycol lignin, three molecules of phenol react with one lignin unit by nuclear condensation, and when the product is worked up immediately no loss of methoxyl groups occurs. With the fully methylated glycol lignin in one experiment, some of the methoxyl groups were removed but the hydroxyl groups thus formed could not be remethylated with diazomethane, thus indicating their probable aliphatic character. Quercetin does not give a phenol condensation product under the same conditions.

The Difference

Summary Two independent spectroscopic methods are presented and compared for the quantitation of the phenolic hydroxyl groups in lignins. The combined information is used to further elucidate the character of the lignin samples examined. The UV method is based on the difference of the spectroscopic properties of the ionised and the nonionised phenol. The method using 1H NMR spectroscopy is based on the exchange of phenolic protons in D2O. The difference in integrated proton intensities in the sample dissolved in DMSO and the sample with additional 20% D2O is proportional to the phenolic protons. The method based on UV spectroscopy uses differences in the maxima close to 300 nm and 350 nm of the sample dissolved in alkali and the neutral sample. The results using the two independent methods are in agreement for milled wood lignin, for kraft lignin and for model compounds carrying one aromatic hydroxyl group. For modified lignins and for model compounds with more than one aromatic hydroxyl group, the UV method gives too low values for phenolic hydroxyl groups. The combined results obtained by the two methods however provide information of the total amount of the phenolic groups and of the nature of the phenolic structure formed by the lignin refining.

Structural Aspects

We developed non-toxic, harmless adhesives composed of all-natural and renewable resources, of which one was composed of tannin and gelatin, which unfortunately was lacking water resistance, and the other of tannin and ε-poly-l-lysine. In this study, we analyzed the chemical structures of these adhesives by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D-NMR) to explain the difference in water-resistance of the two glues. The results showed that only one proton was left in the benzene ring of tannin after mixing. This suggests that the amino group of the protein was directly attached to the benzene ring by a Michael addition-type reaction, and not to the hydroxyl group. In addition, the heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectrum of the tannin-poly-l-lysine compound indicated that the hydroxyl groups of the tannin oxidized, suggesting the improvement of its water resistance.

The Difference

The ring-proton spectrum at 60 MHz of mevalonolactone (3-hydroxy-3- methylvalerolactone) has been examined in a range of solvents and that of 3,3- dimethylvalerolactone in deuterochloroform a t 30°. All the spectra are complicated by long-range coupling between the 2- and 4-methylene protons, but a complete set of magnetic parameters, for the MM'XX' spectrum of the 4- and 5-methylene groups of 3,3-dimethylvalerolactone may be extracted from the spectrum of the 5-methylene (XX') protons alone. Such parameters as can be extracted for mevalonolactone suggest there is little dependence of conformation on solvent. At 100 MHz in hexa- deuteroacetone alone, or in mixtures with benzene, the 2-methylene protons show only a small internal chemical shift and are readily completely decoupled; the residual 4,5-methylene-proton four-spin spectrum gave a set of parameters used as the starting point for iterative analysis of the complete six-spin ring-proton spectrum. I t is proposed that mevalonolactone in solution is a rapidly inverting equilibrium mixture of half-chair conformers in which the conformer having the hydroxyl group axial is favoured c. 4.5 : 1 at 30°. The corresponding free-energy difference (c. 750 cal mol-1) is close to the difference of conformational free-energies of methyl and hydroxyl groups in cyclohexane systems, which suggests that no special polar factor is operating in the mevalonolactone equilibrium.

Several efforts have been dedicated to the development of lignin-based polyurethanes (PU) in recent years. The low and heterogeneous reactivity of lignin hydroxyl groups towards diisocyanates, arising from their highly complex chemical structure, limits the application of this biopolymer in PU synthesis. Besides the well-known differences in the reactivity of aliphatic and aromatic hydroxyl groups, experimental work in which the reactivity of both types of hydroxyl, especially the aromatic ones present in syringyl (S-unit), guaiacyl (G-unit), and p-hydroxyphenyl (H-unit) building units are considered and compared, is still lacking in the literature. In this work, the hydroxyl reactivity of two kraft lignin grades towards 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) was investigated. 31P NMR allowed the monitoring of the reactivity of each hydroxyl group in the lignin structure. FTIR spectra revealed the evolution of peaks related to hydroxyl consumption and urethane formation. These results might support new PU developments, including the use of unmodified lignin and the synthesis of MDI-functionalized biopolymers or prepolymers.

The preparation of bioactive polymeric molecules requires the attention of scientists as it has a potential function in biomedical applications. In the current study, functional substitution of alginate with a benzoyl group was prepared via coupling its hydroxyl group with benzoyl chloride. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated the characteristic peaks of aromatic C=C in alginate derivative at 1431 cm−1. HNMR analysis demonstrated the aromatic protons at 7.5 ppm assigned to benzoyl groups attached to alginate hydroxyl groups. Wetting analysis showed a decrease in hydrophilicity in the new alginate derivative. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric analysis showed that the designed aromatic alginate derivative demonstrated higher thermo-stability than alginates. The aromatic alginate derivative displayed high anti-inflammatory properties compared to alginate. Finally, the in vitro antioxidant evaluation of the aromatic alginate derivative showed a significant increase in free radical scavenging activity compared to neat alginate against DPPH (2,2-diphenyll-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS free radicals. The obtained results proposed that the new alginate derivative could be employed for gene and drug delivery applications.

The preparation of 3α,12α-bisdimethylamino-5β-cholane dimethiodide, 3α,12α-bisdimethylamino-5β-cholane dimethiodide, 3α,12α- bisdimethylamino-24-nor-5β-cholanedimethiodide, and 3α,12α- bisdimethylamino-24-nor-5β-cholanediethiodide, from deoxycholic acid are described. During this work it was found that attempted copper- quinoline decarboxylation of dehydrocholic acid gives rise to lactol formation, and that what had previously been considered to be 3α,12α- dihydroxy-5β-cholane is a mixture of this compound and 12α,24- dihydroxy-5β-cholane. Comparable selectivity of attack by methanesulphonyl chloride and toluene-p-sulphonyl chloride occurs with various polyhydric alcohols derived from bile acids, as evidenced from the products of reduction of the sulphonates with lithium aluminium hydride. With both 5α- and 5β-cholane derivatives, a C 3 equatorial hydroxyl group exhibits comparable reactivity to the terminal primary hydroxyl group, generated from the bile acid carboxylic group, towards both sulphonyl chlorides. With axial hydroxyl groups at C 7 and C 12, toluene-p-sulphonate formation is much more difficult than methane- sulphonate formation. Reduction by means of lithium aluminium hydride of equatorial sulphonate esters at C 7 and C 12 gives rise to a methylene group, but the axial sulphonates under the same conditions give the axial alcohol. The same clear distinction between equatorial and axial sulphonate esters is not observed at C 3 and C 6, but 17α- methanesulphonyloxy-5α-androstane gives 5α-androstane and the 17β- ester gives 17β-hydroxy-5α-androstane. Reduction of 12-oximino groups in both 5α- and 5β-cholanes with sodium and ethanol, hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, or lithium aluminium hydride gives solely the 12α-amino compound.

The possibility of using N-allylcarbothioamide derivatives as well as products of their iodine- and proton-initiated electrophilic heterocyclizations as chelating agents in complexation reactions with Zn(II) and Ag(I) ions is shown. Processing of the obtained experimental data showed that N-allythioamides of pyrimidinyl (cyclohexenyl) carboxylic acids H2L1 – H2L3 and their proton- and iodo-cyclization products HL4, HL5 containing four nucleophilic reaction centers (two oxygen atoms of the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups and N-, S-carbothioamide groups or N-atoms of the dihydrothiazole moiety) are polydentate ligands capable of coordinating with metal ions to form stable six-membered chelate metallocycles. A series of new chelating mono-, bi- and polynuclear complexes Zn(II) and Ag (I) of the composition [Zn2L1,32]n, [Zn2(HL1-3)2(CH3COO)2], [Ag2(HL1,3)2]n, [Zn(HL1-3)2], [Ag(H2L3)2NO3], [Zn(HL4,5)2], K[Ag(HL4,5)2] were synthesized and isolated in solid state. Their molecular structure was established by methods of elemental chemical analysis, NMR 1H, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. At a ratio of M:L 1:2, complexes were isolated in which two ligand molecules H2L1 − H2L3 are coordinated to the metal ion by the sulfur atoms of the carbothioamide group and the oxygen of the mono-deprotonated hydroxyl group. It was established that the products of the proton-/iodocyclization HL4, HL5 in the complex formation pass into the thione tautomeric form with coordination through the oxygen atoms of the deprotonated hydroxyl group and nitrogen atoms of the dihydrothiazole heterocycle. At M:L 1:1, binuclear or polynuclear coordination compounds are formed. It was shown that polymerisation in complexes [Zn2L1,32]n and [Ag2(HL1,3)2]n is due to the formation of Zn−(O2SN)−Zn and Ag−O−Ag polymer chains. Investigation of the solubility of the resulting complexes showed that the polymer complexes are weakly soluble or insoluble in DMSO, DMF, while the mononuclear are soluble in methanol, as well as in water.

Bacterial cellulose obtained by culturing Gluconacetobacter sucrofermentans in HS environment was converted to sulfonate derivatives using methane-, toluene- and 2-phthalimidoethanesulfonic acids in pyridine. When the ratio of the starting reagents is 1 : 1, the modification of bacterial cellulose according to the primary hydroxyl group of glucopyranose fragments is most likely. The formation of 6-substituted bacterial cellulose derivatives was observed in the reaction mixture. The IR spectra of the reaction products contain absorption bands, which are specific for (O–SO2) group in the region 1377-1338 cm−1 (as), 1178-1154 cm−1 (s), fragments of the corresponding sulfonic acids, as well as free hydroxyl groups of glucopyranose in the region 3495-3382 cm−1. Bacterial cellulose 2-phthalimidoethanesulfonate was dissolved in pyridine. After drying with a desiccant in a desiccator, it turned into a dense transparent film of brown color. The increased molecular film allows to explain the side reaction occurring between the oxo group and fragments of one of the chains of modified cellulose and the non-substituted hydroxymethyl group. The IR spectrum of bacterial cellulose 6-(2-phthalimidoethanesulfonate) contains absorption bands in the region 1711 cm−1, which are specific for (Ar–CO–O) group, and absorption bands in the region 1618 cm−1, which prove the presence of (CO–NH) group. In order to impart antibiotic properties to the bacterial cellulose 6-(2-phthalimido-ethanesulfonate) film, it was physically modified with clotrimazole. The obtained experimental data showed that the films subjected to treatment with a 1% solution of clotrimazole have antibacterial and antifungal effects and prevent the growth of pathogenic microbiota on the wound surface. The exit rates of clotrimazole from the bacterial cellulose 6-(2-phthalimidoethanesulfonate) film and from the pure bacterial cellulose film differed, but only slightly. 2-Phthalimidoethanesulfonate bacterial cellulose films can be used to form composites of effective wound covering, since in addition to the unique properties of bacterial cellulose itself (low allergenicity and adhesion to the wound surface, high hygroscopicity) they will have a regenerating effect.
