  • Amino-Nitrogen Contents of Wool and Collagen
    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS RESEARCH PAPER RP787 Part of Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, Volume 14, May 1935 AMINO-NITROGEN CONTENTS OF WOOL AND COLLAGEN By Joseph R. Kanagy 1 and Milton Harris 2 ABSTRACT When wool, collagen, and arginine were treated with nitrous acid, increasing amounts of nitrogen were evolved with time. The continued evolution of nitro­ gen was due to the action of nitrous acid on the guanidine nuclei of these materials. A new method for the determination of the arginine content of a protein is given. The method is based on the relative rates of evolution of nitrogen from the guanidine nuclei in a protein and in arginine. Evidence is presented t o show that the action of nitrous acid on the guanidine nucleus is different from its action on a free amino group. The free amino-nitro­ gen contents of wool and collagen were calculated by subtracting from the total nitrogen evolved that portion of nitrogen which came from the guanidine nuclei. The values obtained for the percentages of the total nitrogen as amino nitrogen are 2.53 for wool and 2.77 for collagen. CONTENTS Page I.

  • The Sandmeyer Reaction: Substitution for an NH2 on an Aromatic Ring
    Sandmeyer Reaction 59 The Sandmeyer Reaction: Substitution for an NH2 on an Aromatic Ring + General Sandmeier Reaction: Substitution for NH2 Group on a Benzene, via Diazonium ArN2 ArCN CuCN CuBr ArBr NaNO2, HCl HONO + - CuCl ArNH2 ArN2 Cl ArCl diazonium salt + H2O, H , heat ArOH H3PO2 ArH Intro The “Sandmeyer Reaction” is a versatile method for replacing the amine group of a primary aromatic amine with a number of different substitutents. The amine is treated with “nitrous acid” (HNO2) under acidic conditions, which produces the diazonium ion. The diazonium can then undergo substitution reaction with various reactants, particularly copper(I) substrates. Although the substitution can be simplistically viewed as a direct ionic substitution reaction (anion as nucleophile, molecular N2 as a premier leaving group), the actual mechanism is actually more complicated and involves radicals. HONO - Cl + NH2 NaNO2, HCl, H2O N2 Cl + N2 Sodium Nitrite CuCl mw = 69.1 g/mol copper(I) chloride p-chlorotoluene p-toluidine diazonium NaCl mw = 126.6 g/mol mw = 107.2 g/mol salt NaHSO bp = 162ºC mp = 45ºC 3 + NaOH density = 1.07 g/mL H2O, H , heat OH CuSO4-(H2O)5 copper(II) sulfate 249.7 g/mol Phenol Side Product Today’s Reaction: Synthesis of p-Chlorotoluene In today’s experiment, we will use copper(I) chloride (CuCl) as our “nucleophile”, to produce the chloride product. The diazonium ion has limited stability in water; it tends to react to give phenols (ArOH) upon standing or unnecessary warming. The principle organic side product will be the phenol resulting from competing reaction with water.

Essentially , the method was adapted from the earlier Hausmann method (13, pp~l3S-145) as modified by Osborne and Harris (17, pp.,332-353) with his own meth­ od for the determination of amino nitrogen. In his orig­ inal study dealing with the method, Van Slyke (28, pp .l92­ 202) showed that the majority of the naturally occurring amino acids with the exception of glycine and cystine~ when treated with nitrous acid, yield their amino nitro­ gen quantitatively at room temperature.

Hughes b a Division of Life Sciences, King's College, London W8 7AH, UK b Department of Chemistry, King's College, London WC2R 2LS, UK Received 27 August 1998; received in revised form 2 November 1998; accepted 16 December 1998 Abstract Nitrite is consumed in the diet, through vegetables and drinking water. It is also added to meat products as a preservative. The potential risks of this practice are balanced against the unique protective effect against toxin-forming bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum. The chemistry of nitrite, and compounds derived from it, in food systems and bacterial cells are complex. It is known that the bactericidal species is not nitrite itself, but a compound or compounds derived from it during 3 food preparation. Of a range of nitrosyl compounds tested, the anion of Roussin's black salt [Fe4S3(NO)7] was the most inhibitory to C. sporogenes. This compound is active against both anaerobic and aerobic food-spoilage bacteria, while some other compounds are selective, indicating multiple sites of action. There are numerous possible targets for inhibition in the bacterial cells, including respiratory chains, iron^sulfur proteins and other metalloproteins, membranes and the genetic apparatus. ß 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

  • Acids and Bases Acids Release H+(Aq) When Dissolved in Water and Bases Release HO-(Aq)
    Acids and Bases Acids release H+(aq) when dissolved in water and bases release HO-(aq). Strong acids and bases dissociate completely in water. Weak acids and bases are in equilibrium with H+(aq) and HO- (aq), respectively. Acids react with bases to form water in neutralization reactions. Outline • Strong Acids and Bases • Weak Acids • Homework Litmus paper for pH determination Strong Acids and Bases Strong Acids in Water Strong acids are those that completely dissociate in water. You've seen them all in a previous section: HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, HNO3, and HClO4. Chemistry 102 Prof. Shapley page 1 The concentration of solvated protons is equal to the moles of the acid added to each liter of water. When 0.05 mol of HNO3 is added to 50 mL water: [H+] = (0.05 mol)/(50 mL)(1 L/1000 mL) = 1.0 M pH = -log(1.0) = -log(100) = 0 When 0.05 mol of H2SO4 is added to 10 L water: [H+] = (0.05 mol)/(10 L) = 0.005 M = 5 x 10-3 = 100.70 x 10-3 pH = -log(10-2.3) = 2.3 Strong Bases in Water The strongest base that can exist in water is HO-. There are many hydroxide salts that provide HO- when dissolved in water. These include NaOH, KOH, Mg(OH)2, Ca(OH)2, and Al(OH)3. There are other bases that are even stronger than hydroxide but these react with water to make hydroxide. [Li+][NH2-] + H2O NH3 + Li+ + HO- [Na+][H-] + H2O H2(g) + Na+ + HO- Neutralization Reactions The reaction between a strong acid and an equal number of moles of a strong base produces water.
