  • Why Ammonium Detection Is Particularly Challenging But

Fernández-Pérez and Gastón A. Crespo * The monitoring of ammonium ion concentration has gained the attention of researchers from multiple fields since it is a crucial parameter with respect to environmental and biomedical applications. For example, ammonium is considered to be a quality indicator of natural waters as well as a potential bio- marker of an enzymatic byproduct in key physiological reactions. Among the classical analytical methods used for the detection of ammonium ions, potentiometric ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) have attracted Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. special attention in the scientific community because of their advantages such as cost-effectiveness, user-friendly features, and miniaturization ability, which facilitate easy portable measurements. Regarding the analytical performance, the key component of ISEs is the selective receptor, labelled as an ionophore in ISE jargon. Indeed, the preference of an ionophore for ammonium amongst other ions (i.e., selectivity) is a factor that primarily dictates the limit of detection of the electrode when performing measurements in real samples. A careful assessment of the literature for the last 20 years reveals that nonactin is by far the most employed ammonium ionophore to date. Despite the remarkable cross-interference of potass- ium over the ammonium response of nonactin-based ISEs, analytical applications comprising water quality assessment, clinical tests in biological fluids, and sweat monitoring during sports practice have This article is licensed under a been successfully researched.

    STEREOCONTROL IN THE SYNTHESIS OF NONACTIN A thesis presented by Hiten Sheth in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London Department of Chemistry, Imperial College, London SW7 2AY October 1982 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank Dr A.G.M. Barrett for his advice, guidance and friendship during this project. I am grateful to Ashley Fenwick, Barrett Kalindjian and Mark Russell for friendship and help. A special thanks to Mrs Denise Elliott for typing this thesis and to Tara, Gunvant, Bharat and Sonal for encouragement and support. Thanks are also due to the SERC for a studentship, and to W.R. Grace and Co., Research Division, Columbia, Maryland for support. A special thanks to Mrs. Maria Serrano-Widdowson for helping out at times of crises. ABSTRACT The racemic and chiral syntheses, of nonactic acid, in the literature are reviewed. Our approaches to the synthesis of racemic nonactic acid utilized activated derivatives of pentane-1, 2R(S), 4S(R) triol (101); 2R(S), 4S(R) dihydroxypentanoic acid (133) and 2R(S), 4S(R) dihydroxypentanal (119). The key intermediate, 3R(S) acetoxy-5S(R)-methyltetra- hydrofuran-2-one (99), was prepared from the double elimination of 2,3,5-tri-0-acetyl-D-ribonolactone to give the desired 3-acetoxy- 5-methylene-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-one. Steric-approach controlled hydrogenation yielded the tetrahydrofuran-2-one (99). The lactol (119), derived from the di-isobutylaluminiumhydride reduction of the tetrahydrofuran-2-one (99) was condensed with the ylide, ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane, the resultant enoate being hydrogenated and acidified to yield the lactone, 5S(R) - [2S(R) hydroxypropyl ] tetrahydrofuran-2-one (120).

Academic Editor: Johannes F. Imhoff Received: 2 June 2015 / Accepted: 14 July 2015 / Published: 23 July 2015 Abstract: Deep-sea fungi, the fungi that inhabit the sea and the sediment at depths of over 1000 m below the surface, have become an important source of industrial, agricultural, and nutraceutical compounds based on their diversities in both structure and function. Since the first study of deep-sea fungi in the Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 4450 m was conducted approximately 50 years ago, hundreds of isolates of deep-sea fungi have been reported based on culture-dependent methods. To date more than 180 bioactive secondary metabolites derived from deep-sea fungi have been documented in the literature. These include compounds with anticancer, antimicrobial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, and antiviral activities. In this review, we summarize the structures and bioactivities of these metabolites to provide help for novel drug development. Keywords: deep-sea fungi; bioactive compounds; anticancer; antimicrobial; antiviral; antifungal 1. Introduction Fungi are well known for their vast diversity of secondary metabolites, which include many life-saving drugs and highly toxic mycotoxins [1].

  • The Rational Design and Synthesis of Ionophores and Fluoroionophores for the Selective Detection of Monovalent Cations
    The Rational Design and Synthesis of Ionophores and Fluoroionophores for the Selective Detection of Monovalent Cations By John S. Benco A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry by ________________________________ April 7, 2003 APPROVED: ________________________________ ________________________________ Dr. W. Grant McGimpsey, Major Advisor Dr. James W. Pavlik, Committee Member ________________________________ ________________________________ Dr. Robert E. Connors, Committee Member Dr. Joseph S. Foos, Outside Reviewer ________________________________ Dr. James P. Dittami, Head of Department Abstract The rational design, synthesis and complexation characteristics of several monovalent cation-selective ligands are described. Molecular modeling employing a combination of dynamics, mechanics (AMBER94) and electrostatics was used to design ligands for the complexation of ammonium, potassium, sodium and lithium ions. A modular technique was used to synthesize an ammonium selective ionophore based on a cyclic depsipeptide structure (8). The ionophore was incorporated into a planar ion selective electrode (ISE) sensor format and the selectivity tested versus a range of metal cations. It was found that the membrane containing the polar plasticizer NPOE (nitrophenyloctylether) in the absence of ionic additive exhibited near-Nernstian behavior (slope = 60.1 mV/dec @ 37˚C) and possessed high selectivity for ammonium ion over lithium and the divalent POT cations, calcium and magnesium (log K + = -7.3, -4.4, -7.1 for lithium, calcium and NH 4 j magnesium ions, respectively). The same membrane also exhibited sodium and POT potassium selectivity that was comparable to that reported for nonactin (log K + = - NH 4 j 2.1, -0.6 for sodium and potassium, respectively, compared to -2.4, -0.9 in the case of nonactin).

    NH4 -ISEs Based on THF-Containing Crown Ethers Bull. Korean Chem. Soc. 2004, Vol. 25, No. 1 59 Tetrahydrofuran-Containing Crown Ethers as Ionophores for NH+-Selective Electrodes Hua Yan Jin, Tae Ho Kim, Jineun Kim, Shim Sung Lee, and Jae Sang Kim* Department of Chemistry and Research Institute of Natural Sciences, Gyeongsang National University, Chinju 660-701, Korea Received September 29, 2003 The ammonium ion-selective electrodes (NHj-ISEs) based on the tetrahydrofuran(THF)-containing-16- crown-4 derivatives, 1,4,6,9,11,14,16,19-tetraoxocycloeicosane (L1) and 5,10,15,20,-tetramethyl-1,4,6,9,11, 14,16,tetraoxocycloeicosane19- (L2), were prepared and the electrode characteristics were tested. The conditioned NH4+-ISEs (E1) based on L1 with TEHP as a plasticising solvent mediator gave best results with near-Nernstian slope of 53.9 mV/decade of activity, detection limit of 10-4,9 M, and enhanced selectivity coefficients for the NH4+ ion with respect to an interfering K+ ion (log KpotNH4+,K+ = -1.84). This result was compared to other ammonium ionophores reported previously, for example, that of nonactin (log KpotNH4+,K+ = -0.92). The proposed electrode showed no significant potential changes in the range of 3.0 < pH < 9.0.
