Schmidt *efg and Urs von Gunten*bc Five-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds (azoles) belong to potential moieties in com- plex structures where transformations during ozonation can occur. This study focused on the azole–ozone chemistry of pyrrole, imidazole, and pyrazole as model compounds. Reaction kinetics and ozonation products were determined by kinetic and analytical methods including NMR, LC-HRMS/MS, HPLC-UV, and IC-MS. 1 Analyses of reactive oxygen species ( O2, ˙OH, H2O2), quantum chemical computations (Gibbs energies), and kinetic simulations were used to further support the proposed reaction mechanisms.

Pyrazole reacted more slowly with ozone at pH 7 (kapp =(5.6± 0.9) × 101 M−1 s−1). Maleimide was an identified product of pyrrole with a 34% yield.

Imidazole reacted with ozone to cyanate, formamide, and formate (∼100% yields per transformed imidazole, respectively) with a closed mass balance. For pyrazole, a high ozone : pyrazole molar stoichiometry of 4.6 was found, suggesting Received 4th December 2019, that the transformation products contributed to the over-stoichiometric consumption of ozone (e.g., Accepted 22nd January 2020 hydroxypyrazoles).

Amines are classified in to primary, secondary and tertiary amines depending upon the number of Hydrogen atoms in ammonia replaced by alkyl or aryl group. If one of hydrogen atom in NH3 is replaced by alkyl or aryl group, the derivative of ammonia so obtained is known as primary amine, if two hydrogen atoms in ammonia are replaced by alkyl, aryl or ar-alkyl groups, the derivative obtained is known as secondary amine, while as if all H atoms in ammonia are replaced by alkyl aryl or aralkyl groups, a tertiaty amine is obtained as shown below: The R groups can be alkyl, aryl or aralkyl groups.

  • Strecker Degradation Products of Aspartic and Glutamic Acids and Their Amides
    Czech J. Food Sci. Vol. 19, No. 2: 41–45 Strecker Degradation Products of Aspartic and Glutamic Acids and their Amides JAN RÖSSNER, JAN VELÍEK, FRANTIEK PUDIL and JIØÍ DAVÍDEK Institute of Chemical Technology Department of Food Chemistry and Analysis, Prague, Czech Republic Abstract RÖSSNER J., VELÍEK J., PUDIL F., DAVÍDEK J. (2001): Strecker degradation products of aspartic and glutamic acids and their amides. Czech J. Food Sci., 19: 4145. Aspartic and glutamic acids, asparagine and glutamine were oxidised with either potassium peroxodisulphate or glyoxal. Non- volatile products were derivatised and analysed by GC/FID and GC/MS. Volatile reaction products were isolated and analysed by the same methods. It was found that the degradation reactions of amino acids are complex. Amino acids are principally degraded via the corresponding α-keto acids to Strecker aldehydes (aspartic acid to oxalacetic and 3-oxopropionic acids and glutamic acid to α-ketoglutaric and 4-oxobutyric acids), which are unstable and decomposed by decarboxylation to the corresponding alde- hydes. Aspartic acid also eliminates ammonia and yields fumaric acid whereas glutamic acid gives rise to an imine, pyroglutamic acid. A recombination of free radicals leads to dicarboxylic acids (succinic acid from aspartic acid, succinic, glutaric and adipic acids from glutamic acid). The major volatile products (besides the aldehydes) are lower carboxylic acids (acetic acid from aspartic acid and propionic acid acid from glutamic acid) that can at least partly arise by radical reactions. In both quality and quantity terms, a higher amount of degradation products arises by oxidation of amino acids by peroxodisulphate. Keywords: Strecker degradation; Strecker aldehydes; amino acids; glyoxal; sodium peroxodisulphate; aspartic acid; glutamic acid; asparagine; glutamine; radicals The reaction of an α-amino acid with an oxidation re- asparagine (Asn) and glutamine (Gln).

Theoretical parameters such as aromaticity indices (HOMA and SA), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and atomic charges have been calculated using B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Calculated pKa values indicate that there is generally good agreement with experimental data, with all deviations being less than the acceptable error for a directly calculated pKa values.

    H ANS F I S C H E R On haemin and the relationships between haemin and chlorophyll Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1930 The Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded to me the Nobel Prize for my investigations into blood and leaf pigments and for the synthetic prepa- ration of haemin, and I therefore wish to report my results, in so far as this can be done in a brief lecture. The blood pigment haemoglobin is a compound which can be split by diverse methods into its constituents, pigment and protein. Teichmann was the first to observe this cleavage under the microscope when he subjected blood to the effect of glacial acetic acid - common salt; Schalfejeff, Nencki, Piloty, Willstätter and others have used the method on a large scale, so that Teichmann’s crystals are available by the kg. The Swedish scientist Mörner has also developed a method for effecting separation with the aid of alcohol - sulphuric acid, by means of which esters of haemin are obtained. Haemin has the formula C 34 H 32 O 4N 4FeCl. Countless variations of this atomic arrangement are possible. By analytical methods of Nencki, Küster, Piloty, Willstätter, H. Fischer and their pupils, the pyrrole nature of the hae- min was demonstrated, and much information was obtained about its con- stitution. When haemin is deprived of its iron, porphyrins are formed, which are substances having a sensitizing effect, as Hausmann has shown. These porphyrins are widely distributed in Nature, and it was possible to assume as a working hypothesis from the start that there existed a relationship with the porphyrins of blood pigment; it was moreover to be expected that the determination of their constitution would also provide information about the constitution of haemin itself, just as the results of distintegration of bili- rubin which is formed from blood pigment by biological means had stimul- ated determination of the constitution of blood pigment itself.
