A proton, carbon-13, and vanadium-51 nuclear magnetic resonance study is reported on the number, stoichiometry, geometry, and relative stability of the complexes that form when vanadate(V) solutions are mixed with each one of the following organic α-hydroxyacids in the pH range ~2.5 – ~7: glycolic, lactic, chloro-3- and phenyl-3-lactic, mandelic, glyceric, and malic acids. The predominant complexes have 1:1 composition (almost certainly in a polymeric structure) in contrast with the 1:2 (metal:ligand) stoichiometry of the corresponding Mo(VI) and W(VI) complexes.

Addition of NH2NH2 or NH2OH to ethyl thioacetoacetate to form the corresponding cyclic product, 3-methylpyrazol-5-one or 3-methylisoxazol-5-one proceeds via cyclization of the carbinolamine formed by addition to the β-keto carbon, i.e., cyclization is faster than dehydration of the carbinolamine to form the imine. In contrast the corresponding carbinolamine derived from ethylacetoacetate undergoes dehydration faster than cyclization. By means of 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, it is possible to detect the cyclic carbinolamine as well as another transient and measure their rates of decay. Based on these results, a mechanism is proposed.

ABSTRACT Chitosan-degrading activities induced by glucosamine (GlcN) orN-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) were found in a culture filtrate of Trichoderma reesei PC-3-7. One of the chitosan-degrading enzymes was purified to homogeneity by precipitation with ammonium sulfate followed by anion-exchange and hydrophobic-interaction chromatographies. The enzyme was monomeric, and its molecular mass was 93 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme were 4.0 and 50°C, respectively. The activity was stable in the pH range 6.0 to 9.0 and at a temperature below 50°C. Reaction product analysis from the viscosimetric assay and thin-layer chromatography and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy clearly indicated that the enzyme was an exo-type chitosanase, exo-β-d-glucosaminidase, that releases GlcN from the nonreducing end of the chitosan chain. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy also showed that the exo-β-d-glucosaminidase produced a β-form of GlcN, demonstrating that the enzyme is a retaining glycanase. Time-dependent liberation of the reducing sugar from partially acetylated chitosan with exo-β-d-glucosaminidase and the partially purified exo-β-d-N-acetylglucosaminidase from T. reesei PC-3-7 suggested that the exo-β-d-glucosaminidase cleaves the glycosidic link of either GlcN-β(1→4)-GlcN or GlcN-β(1→4)-GlcNAc.

A proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance study is reported on the number, stoichiometry, geometry, and stability of the complexes that form when sodium tungstate or sodium molybdate is mixed with each one of the following α-hydroxyacids in aqueous solution at pH values in the range 3–8: glycolic, lactic, chloro-3- andphenyl-3-lactic, mandelic, and glyceric acids. The predominant complexes have 1:2 composition and pK of formation of the order of −5 to −16.

The speciation and equilibria of sodium dodecatungstosilicate has been determined using 183W nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy over the pH range 3-13.5. The use of NMR allowed the direct observation of polytungstate anions in aqueous solution and at high concentration (0.5 mol L-1). Using this technique, the speciation of α-[SiW12O40]4-, α-[SiW11O39]8-, α-[NaSiW11O39]7-, α-[H2W12O40]6-, [H8W11O40]6-, [H7W11O40]7-, [W7O24]6-, [H2W12O42]10-, and WO42- was quantified as a function of pH. This work has allowed stability constants for α-[SiW12O40]4- (log K 46) and α-[SiW11O39]8- (log K 86) to be estimated.
