Recently, deep eutectic systems (DESs) as extraction techniques for bioactive compounds have surfaced as a greener alternative to common organic solvents. In order to study the effect of these systems on the extraction of phenolic compounds from different natural sources, a comprehensive review of the state of the art was carried out. In a first approach, the addition of water to these systems and its effect on DES physicochemical properties such as polarity, viscosity, and acidity was investigated. This review studied the effect of the hydrogen bond donor (HBD) on the nature of the extracted phenolics. The effects of the nature of the HBD, namely carbon chain length as well as the number of hydroxyl, methyl, and carbonyl groups, have shown to play a critical role in the extraction of different phenolic compounds. This review highlights the differences between DES systems and systematizes the results published in the literature, so that a more comprehensive evaluation of the systems can be carried out before any experimental trial.

The compounds analysed are the O,O′-dibenzoyl derivatives of (R,R)-tartaric acid, asymmetrically substituted by ester, amide and nitrile groups. Benzoylation does not introduce drastic changes to the molecular conformation. All investigated molecules adopt the planar T conformation of the four-carbon chain with noticeably smaller departures from the ideal conformation than observed in the nonbenzoylated analogs. Primary and secondary amides always orient the C=O bond antiperiplanar (a) with respect to the nearest C*—O bond, while methylester groups adjust their conformation to that adopted by the amide substituent situated at the other end of the molecule. Tertiary amides and carboxyl groups place their carbonyls at the same side as the nearest C*—O bond (the s form), but often deviations from coplanarity of the two bonds are significant and higher than those observed in the nonbenzoylated series. The results presented demonstrate the importance of dipole/dipole interactions between CO and βC*H groups in stabilizing the molecular conformation, and between carbonyl groups in stabilizing crystal packing of the molecules that lack classical hydrogen-bond donor groups. An illustration is provided as to how a small change in mutual orientation of molecules arranged in a close-packed fashion causes a change in the character of intermolecular interactions from van der Waals to sandwich stacking between the benzoyloxy phenyls, and to dipolar between the benzoyloxy carbonyls. Hydrogen-bonded molecules tend to orient in a head-to-tail mode; the head-to-head arrangement being limited to cases in which terminal carbonyl groups are situated at one side of the molecule. The orientation of the benzoyloxy substituents with respect to the carbon main chain is such that the (O=)C—O—C—H bond system often deviates significantly from planarity.

Fluorination turns a prototypical diphenol into an effective hydrogen-bond-donating building block for the formation of 2D phenol–pyridine cocrystals.


Studies have been made of the quantitative rôle of pent-1-ene and pent-2-ene in the combustion of pentane at temperatures below 400°C. The present results show that, under these conditions, pentenes are initial and direct products of pentane combustion and pent-2-ene is the principal conjugate alkene formed [1- 14 C]Pent-1-ene and [2- 14 C]pent-2-ene have been synthesized and the combustion of pentane has also been investigated in the presence of small concentrations of these specifically labelled com­pounds; control experiments have shown that the pentenes, in the amounts added, do not interfere appreciably with the kinetics of pentane combustion. Measurements of the variation with time of the specific activities and concentrations of the pentenes enable the separate rates of formation and destruction of the conjugate alkenes to be determined. Hence it is possible to calculate the total quantities of these compounds formed at different stages of reaction and to show to what extent these are greater than the net amounts revealed by conventional analytical measurements; the differences are found to be most marked at small conversions. The reactivity ratios of pentane and the pentenes have also been determined. The rates of destruction of both pentenes are much greater than that of pentane; pent-2-ene is removed from the system roughly twice as fast as pent-1-ene. An important contrast between the behaviour of pentane and butane is that, between 300 and 400°C, but-1-ene is a much more abundant product than but-2-ene. However, with both alkanes, the relative amounts of the alk-1-enes formed become greater as the temperature is increased; indeed, the rate of formation of pent-1-ene considerably exceeds that of pent-2-ene at the instant of the passage of a strong cool flame. Comparison of the total amounts of conjugate alkenes formed from the two alkanes at 315°C shows that only ca . 30% of the pentane consumed is converted to pentenes, whereas nearly 75% of the butane which has reacted is converted to butenes. Thus there is clearly a sharp decrease in the quantitative importance of conjugate alkenes as the carbon chain length is increased from C 4 to C 5 . This suggests that the predominant reaction of pentyl radicals, under the conditions used, is to add on oxygen to form pentylperoxy radicals.

AbstractThe role of the molecular structure - different functional groups, the length of the carbon chain and the relative positions of different functional groups – of several complexing/chelating agents (acetic acid, glycine, ethylene diamine, succinic acid, alanine and amino butyric acid (ABA)) in controlling copper (Cu) removal rates was investigated. The results are consistent with the known activity of –COOH groups at acidic conditions and that of –NH2 groups in an alkaline environment. In comparison with glycine, it was also observed that an increase in the carbon chain length increased the removal rates at acidic pH values and decreased the removal rates at alkaline pH values. Also, Cu removal rates decreased with an increase in the distance between the –NH2 and –COOH groups in an amino acid at all pH values except at 4.
