Nitroxyl (Hno) and Carbonylnitrenes INVESTIGATION OF REACTIVE INTERMEDIATES: NITROXYL (HNO) AND CARBONYLNITRENES by Tyler A. Chavez A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland February 2016 © 2016 Tyler A. Chavez All rights reserved Abstract Membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) is a well-established method used to detect gases dissolved in solution through the use of a semipermeable hydrophobic membrane that allows the dissolved gases, but not the liquid phase, to enter a mass spectrometer. Interest in the unique biological activity of azanone (nitroxyl, HNO) has highlighted the need for new sensitive and direct detection methods. Recently, MIMS has been shown to be a viable method for HNO detection with nanomolar sensitivity under physiologically relevant conditions (Chapter 2). In addition, this technique has been used to explore potential biological pathways to HNO production (Chapter 3). Nitrenes are reactive intermediates containing neutral, monovalent nitrogen atoms. In contrast to alky- and arylnitrenes, carbonylnitrenes are typically ground state singlets. In joint synthesis, anion photoelectron spectroscopic, and computational work we studied the three nitrenes, benzoylnitrene, acetylnitrene, and trifluoroacetylnitrene, with the purpose of determining the singlet-triplet splitting (ΔEST = ES – ET) in each case (Chapter 7). Further, triplet ethoxycarbonylnitrene and triplet t-butyloxycarbonylnitrene have been observed following photolysis of sulfilimine precursors by time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy (Chapter 6). The observed growth kinetics of nitrene products suggest a contribution from both the triplet and singlet nitrene, with the contribution from the singlet becoming more prevalent in polar solvents.

  • The Effect of Calcium Carbonate and Sodium Bicarbonate on the Toxicity of Gossypol»
    THE EFFECT OF CALCIUM CARBONATE AND SODIUM BICARBONATE ON THE TOXICITY OF GOSSYPOL» By WILLIS D. GALLUP, assistant chemist, and RUTH REDER, associate chemist, Department of Agricultural Chemistry Research, Oklahoma Agricultural Experi- ment Station INTRODUCTION In a previous study of the influence of certain dietary constituents on the response of rats to gossypol ingestion {2) ^ the authors showed that the toxicity of diets containing known amounts of gossypol was materially reduced when the diets were made basic by the addition of calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. When the diets were made acidic by the addition of calcium chloride, only indirect evidence of a slight decrease in toxicity was obtained. Decreased toxicity was observed also when the protein content of the diet was increased from 13 percent to 35 percent. The conclusion was drawn that diets of high protein content and basic diets of high calcium content are favorable to the detoxication of gossypol. Considerable importance is attached to the results since calcium and protein are variable ingredients in diets used for the bio-assay of gossypol. The importance of these constituents in feeding cottonseed products to livestock has not been fully determined, although the value of supplementary protein in cottonseed-meal rations for pigs has recently been pointed out by Robison (5). In view of the favorable results obtained with sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, it was deemed desirable to determine the pro- portion of these salts which would offer the greatest degree of pro- tection against gossypol injury and to determine the value of each salt in the presence of moderate amounts of thç other, as the principal elements of both are requisite for a normal nutritive condition.

Fossil fuel power plants, especially coal-fired thermal power plants, are a major source of carbon dioxide emission. In this work, carbon capture and utilization using sodium hydroxide was studied experimentally. Application for flue gas of a coal-fired power plant is considered. Carbon dioxide, reacting with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, could be converted to sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). A bench-scale unit of a reactor system was designed for this experiment. The capture scale of the reactor system was 2 kg of carbon dioxide per day. The detailed operational condition could be determined. The purity of produced sodium bicarbonate was above 97% and the absorption rate of CO2 was above 95% through the experiment using this reactor system. The results obtained in this experiment contain useful information for the construction and operation of a commercial-scale plant. Through this experiment, the possibility of carbon capture for coal power plants using sodium hydroxide could be confirmed. Keywords: Carbon Capture, Carbon Utilization, Sodium Bicarbonate 1.

  • Hidden Complexities in the Reaction of H2O2 and HNO Revealed by Ab Initio Quantum Chemical Cite This: Phys
    PCCP PAPER Hidden complexities in the reaction of H2O2 and HNO revealed by ab initio quantum chemical Cite this: Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2017, 19, 29549 investigations† Daniel Beckett, Marc Edelmann, Jonathan D. Raff and Krishnan Raghavachari* Nitroxyl (HNO) and hydrogen peroxide have both been implicated in a variety of reactions relevant to environmental and physiological processes and may contribute to a unique, unexplored, pathway for the production of nitrous acid (HONO) in soil. To investigate the potential for this reaction, we report an in-depth investigation of the reaction pathway of H2O2 and HNO forming HONO and water. We find the breaking of the peroxide bond and a coupled proton transfer in the first step leads to hydrogen nitryl (HNO2) and an endogenous water, with an extrapolated NEVPT2 (multireference perturbation theory) barrier of 29.3 kcal molÀ1. The first transition state is shown to possess diradical character linking the far peroxide oxygen to the bridging, reacting, peroxide oxygen. The energy of this first step, when calculated using hybrid density functional theory, is shown to depend heavily on the amount of Hartree–Fock exchange in the functional, with higher amounts leading to a higher barrier and more diradical character. Additionally, high amounts of spin contamination cause CCSD(T) to significantly overestimate the TS1 barrier with a value of 36.2 kcal molÀ1 when using the stable UHF wavefunction as the reference wavefunction. However, when using the restricted Hartree–Fock reference wavefunction, the TS1 CCSD(T) energy is lowered to yield a barrier of 31.2 kcal molÀ1, in much better agreement with the Received 29th August 2017, NEVPT2 result.

  • On the Distinction Between Nitroxyl and Nitric Oxide Using Nitronyl Nitroxides
    Published on Web 05/26/2010 On the Distinction between Nitroxyl and Nitric Oxide Using Nitronyl Nitroxides Uri Samuni,† Yuval Samuni,‡ and Sara Goldstein*,§ Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Queens College, City UniVersity of New York, Flushing, New York 11367, and Department of Prosthodontics, School of Dental Medicine, and Institute of Chemistry, The Accelerator Laboratory, The Hebrew UniVersity of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 91904, Israel Received March 8, 2010; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A better understanding of the origins of NO and HNO and their activities and biological functions requires accurate methods for their detection and quantification. The unique reaction of NO with nitronyl nitroxides such as 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide (C-PTIO), which yields the corresponding imino nitroxides, is widely used for NO detection (mainly by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy) and for modulation of NO-induced physiological functions. The present study demonstrates that HNO readily reacts with nitronyl nitroxides, leading to the formation of the respective imino nitroxides and hydroxylamines via a complex mechanism. Through the use of the HNO donor Angeli’s salt (AS) with metmyoglobin as a competing agent, the rate constant for C-PTIO reduction by HNO has been determined to be (1.4 ( 0.2) × 105 M-1 s-1 at pH 7.0. This reaction yields the corresponding nitronyl • hydroxylamine C-PTIO-H and NO, which is trapped by C-PTIO to form NO2 and the corresponding imino • nitroxide, C-PTI. NO2 oxidizes the nitronyl and imino nitroxides to their respective oxoammonium cations, which decay mainly via comproportionation with the nitronyl and imino hydroxylamines.
