A strategy for analyzing formaldehyde in beer, wine, spirits, and unrecorded alcohol was developed, and 508 samples from worldwide origin were analyzed. In the first step, samples are qualitatively screened using a simple colorimetric test with the purpald reagent, which is extremely sensitive for formaldehyde (detection limit 0.1 mg/L). 210 samples (41%) gave a positive purpald reaction. In the second step, formaldehyde in positive samples is confirmed by quantitative spectrophotometry of the chromotropic acid-formaldehyde derivative combined with Multivariate Curve Resolution-Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS). Calculation of UV-VIS and13C NMR spectra confirmed the monocationic dibenzoxanthylium structure as the product of the reaction and disproved the widely citedpara,para-quinoidal structure. Method validation for the spectrophotometric procedure showed a detection limit of 0.09 mg/L and a precision of 4.2–8.2% CV. In total, 132 samples (26%) contained formaldehyde with an average of 0.27 mg/L (range 0–14.4 mg/L). The highest incidence occurred in tequila (83%), Asian spirits (59%), grape marc (54%), and brandy (50%). Our survey showed that only 9 samples (1.8%) had formaldehyde levels above the WHO IPCS tolerable concentration of 2.6 mg/L.

Mixture spectra is decomposed into pure spectra without prior knowledge, and the MCR calculation refines the spectra and provides the concentrations.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of chromotropic acid (CTA) (4,5-dihydroxy-2,7-naphthalenedisulphonic acid) have been unambiguously assigned. Proton NOED spectra were used to show the proximity of both H-3 and H-6 and the hydroxyl groups. Two-dimensional 1H–13C NMR correlation spectra of CTA, of its corresponding diacetoxy derivative, and of 3-bromo- and 3,6-dibromo-CTA support the assignments. A regioselective deuterium exchange reaction of the C-3 and C-6 protons of CTA with deuterium oxide was observed during the NMR experiments. This latter finding is strongly indicative of the mode of formation, and of the nature of the chromogen formed in the reaction of CTA with formaldehyde in the well-known CTA-formaldehyde analytical reaction. Key words: chromotropic acid, 3-bromochromotropic acid, 3,6-dibromochromotropic acid.

It was found that three crystalline forms of ethylene glycol dibenzoate can be prepared. Infrared and Raman spectra of these three forms, as well as of the glassy and liquid states, were measured. From 3JHH coupling constants obtained by analysis of the 13C satellite band of the -CH2- group in 1H NMR spectra, and from the 3JCH coupling constants of the -CO.O.CH2- fragment obtained by analysis of the carbonyl band in 13C NMR spectra it was found that in the liquid state the -CH2-CH2- group exists predominantly in the gauche conformational structure, and the bonds C-O-C-C assume predominantly a trans orientation. The results of the analysis of NMR and vibrational spectra were used for the structural interpretation of conformationally sensitive bands in vibrational spectra of ethylene glycol dibenzoate.

13C NMR spectra of 18 ferrocene analogues of trans stilbenes (1-aryl-2-ferrocenylethylenes) were measured. It was found that bridge group weakens the transfer of the substituent electron effects into ferrocene nucleus, especially distinctly into 3',4'positions of cyclopentadienyl ring. The transfer of substituent effects into β-position of the bridge -CH=CH- is greater in derivatives studied by us than in stilbenes. Synthesis of 1-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-ferrocenylethylene is described.

A new stereospecific ligand, ethylenediamine-N,N'-di(S)-α-isocapronic acid, was synthesized by condensation of (S)-leucine with 1,2-dibromoethane in alkaline aqueous medium. It follows from the 1H and 13C NMR spectra that the terminal methyl groups are chemically and magnetically nonequivalent. Of the four theoretically possible isomers of the ternary cobalt (III) complex with ethylenediamine, separation on catex yielded only one, whose absolute configuration was determined by a combination of 1H and 13C NMR, electron absorption spectroscopy and CD and IR spectroscopy.

The 17O and 13C NMR spectra of eight geminal diacetates RCH(O(CO)CH3)2 derived from simple aldehydes have been measured. In contrast to the dicarboxylates R1R2E(O(CO)R3)2, where E = Si, Ge, or Sn, whose 17O NMR spectra only contain a single signal, and, on the other hand, in accordance with organic carboxylic esters, the 17O NMR spectra of the compound group studied always exhibit two well-resolved signals with the chemical shifts δ(17O) in the regions of 183-219 ppm and 369-381 ppm for the oxygen atoms in the groups C-O and C=O, respectively.
