The photooxygenation of nitrobenzyl derivatives 1–10 has been studied in aqueous solution as a function of pH. For m-nitrobenzyl ethers 2–4 and 9, stable α-hydroperoxy ethers (11–13) are the primary photochemical products. Acid hydrolysis of 11–13 gives m-nitrobenzaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide. Quantum yields for photooxygenation are reported for a number of derivatives as a function of pH. Acid and base catalyses of photooxygenation are observed for several compounds. A mechanism involving photogenerated nitrobenzyl carbanion intermediates is proposed.

Bleach Activators

Abstract:: Activated peroxide systems are formed by adding so-called bleach activators to aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, developed in the seventies of the last century for use in domestic laundry for their high energy efficiency and introduced at the beginning of the 21st century to the textile industry as an approach toward overcoming the extensive energy consumption in bleaching. In activated peroxide systems, bleach activators undergo perhydrolysis to generate more kinetically active peracids that enable bleaching under milder conditions while hydrolysis of bleach activators and decomposition of peracids may occur as side reactions to weaken the bleaching efficiency. This mini-review aims to summarize these competitive reactions in activated peroxide systems and their influence on bleaching performance.

Abstract A procedure for the enzymatic determination of lecithin and sphingomyelin in aqueous solution is described. The phospholipids are first dissolved in chloroform:methanol (2:1 by vol), the solvent is evaporated, and the residue is redissolved in an aqueous zwitterionic detergent solution. The enzymatic reaction sequences of both assays involve hydrolysis of the phospholipids to produce choline, which is then oxidized to betaine, thus generating hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide is subsequently utilized in the enzymatic coupling of 4-aminoantipyrine and sodium 2-hydroxy-3,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonate, an intensely red color being formed. The presence of a non-reacting phospholipid enhances the hydrolysis of the reacting phospholipid. Thus we added lecithin to the sphingomyelin standards and sphingomyelin to the lecithin standards. This precise procedure may be applicable to determination of lecithin and sphingomyelin in amniotic fluid.

Treatment of cyclododecane-r-1,c-5,c-9-triyl tris(p-toluenesulphonate) with sodium azide in dimethyl-formamide at 100� for 6 h gave the corresponding cis,cis-triazide which upon hydrogenation or reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gave cyclododecane-r-1,c-5,c-9-triamine, isolated as the tris-salicylidene derivative. Acid hydrolysis of this, removal of the salicylaldehyde, and treatment of the aqueous solution with sodium carbonate and 2,3-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride gave r-1,c-5,c- 9-tris(2,3-dimethoxybenzamido)cyclododecane. ��� Treatment of (E,E,E)-cyclododeca-1,5,9-triene with an excess of acetonitrile and sulphuric acid at room temperature for three days gave 18% of (E,E)-1-acetamidocyclododeca-4,8-diene; no di- or tri-amides were isolated.

Photolysis Of Phenol

AbstractA broadband method has been applied to determine the quantum yields for the photochemical removal of three common pollutants: phenol, 4-chlorophenol and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in dilute aqueous solution. Flash photolysis (xenon flash lamps) was used to cause a significant amount of photolysis without photolyzing intermediates. The analysis of reactant depletion following a single flash was carried out by high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or UV/visible absorption spectroscopy. The method for determining quantum-yields employed p-benzoquinone as an actinometer and was validated by determining the average (200-400 nm) quantum yield for the generation of hydroxyl radicals from the photolysis of hydrogen peroxide (0.90 ± 0.10) and the quantum yields for the photolysis of phenol (0.13 ± 0.02) and 4-chlorophenol (0.24 ± 0.04). The values determined agree very well with the literature ones obtained with monochromatic radiation. The quantum yield for the direct photolysis of NDMA was found to be 0.11 ± 0.03 at neutral pH and 0.27 ± 0.02 at pH 2-4. Under conditions where hydrogen peroxide is the principal absorber, the NDMA quantum yield is 0.32 ± 0.04, independent of pH in the range 2-8.

Nitro substituent exhibits a meta-activating effect on the course of photochemical hydrolysis of phenyl acetates since UV photolysis of isomeric 4- and 3-nitrophenyl acetates in neutral aqueous solution leads to the formation of the corresponding phenols with quantum yields 0.002 and 0.006, respectively; 2-methoxy-4-nitro- and 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl acetates showed still greater difference in their photochemical reactivity (Φr 0.002 and 0.129, respectively). Quenching of the photohydrolysis of the latter compound with 2,4-hexadienoic acid indicates the participation of a triplet state with the effective lifetime of 0.15 μs. The photoreaction is accelerated in acidic media which means that one of the early photochemical steps is the protonation of the excited state. No incorporation of 18O into the product molecule was observed after the photolysis of 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl acetate in H218O, which is an unambiguous evidence that the photoreaction proceeds as a light-induced hydrolysis of the ester bond.

Brief acid hydrolysis of 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3,4-di-O-methylsulfonyl-D-mannitol (1a), removes the isopropylidene groups giving the disulfonated hexitol, 2a. Upon continued acid hydrolysis of 2a, one sulfonate group is lost with formation of a sulfonated monoanhydro hexitol, 5a, then the second ester group is lost to give 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-iditol (D-isoidide, 3a). If the disulfonate, 2a, is treated with base, an isomeric dianhydro hexitol, the bisoxirane 4, is formed. Under similar basic conditions, the monoanhydro hexitol, 5a, is stable. On acid hydrolysis, the bisoxirane, 4, gives hexitols and only 20% of D-isoidide, which indicates that 4 cannot be an intermediate in the conversion of 2a to 3a. These results indicate that, in 2a at least, five-membered anhydro rings are formed preferentially in acid hydrolyses and three-membered rings in saponification.The stage and course of hydrolysis of 2a are readily monitored by observing the τ 4–6 region in the n.m.r. spectra of D2O samples of the hydrolysate.

This paper describes the results of experiments on the decomposition of selected nonylphenols (NPs) in aqueous solutions using the UV, UV/H2O2, O3 and UV/O3 processes. The goal of the research was to determine the kinetic parameters of the above-mentioned processes, and to estimate their effectiveness. These substances were selected because of their ubiquitous occurrence in the aquatic environment, resistance to biodegradation and environmental significance. As a result of the experiments, the quantum yields of the 4-n-nonylphenol (4NP) and NP (technical mixture) photodegradation in aqueous solution were calculated to be 0.15 and 0.17, respectively. The values of the second-order rate constants of the investigated compounds with hydroxyl radical and NP with ozone were also determined. The estimated second-order rate constants of 4NP and NP with hydroxyl radicals were equal to 7.6 × 108–1.3 × 109 mol−1 L s−1. For NP, the determined rate constant with ozone was equal to 2.01 × 106 mol−1 L s−1. The performed experiments showed that NP was slightly more susceptible to degradation by the UV radiation and hydroxyl radicals than 4NP. The study demonstrated also that the polychromatic UV-light alone and also in combination with selected oxidizers (i.e. hydrogen peroxide, ozone) may be successfully used for the removal of selected NPs from the aqueous medium.

Solvent Isotope Effects

The photochemistry of several m- and p-nitrobenzyl alcohols (1–5) has been studied in aqueous solution. These compounds react via an intramolecular photoredox pathway to give reduced and oxidized moieties of the substituent groups. The reaction is an example of a new type of photoreaction of nitro-substituted aromatic derivatives that is not observed in organic solvents, the presence of water being essential. This effect is exemplified by measuring the quantum efficiency as a function of mol% water in aqueous acetonitrile, methanol, and formamide: the reaction efficiency decreases rapidly as water is depleted in the mixture. Catalytic effects due to the hydronium and hydroxide ions were studied: the para derivatives exhibited hydroxide ion catalysis; the meta derivatives exhibited hydronium ion catalysis. Quantum yields, solvent isotope effects, and α-deuterium isotope effects are reported for the parent derivatives.
