    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Fluorescent aminal linked porous organic polymer for reversible iodine capture and sensing Muhammad A. Sabri1, Mohammad H. Al‑Sayah2, Susan Sen2, Taleb H. Ibrahim1 & Oussama M. El‑Kadri2* A novel triazene-anthracene-based fuorescent aminal linked porous organic polymer (TALPOP) was prepared via metal free-Schif base polycondensation reaction of 9,10-bis-(4,6-diamino-S‑triazin‑ 2-yl)anthracene and 2-furaldehyde. The polymer has exceptional chemical and thermal stabilities and exhibit good porosity with Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area of 401 m2g−1. The combination of such porosity along with the highly conjugated heteroatom-rich framework enabled the polymer to exhibit exceptional iodine vapor uptake of up to 314 wt % and reversible iodine adsorption in solution. Because of the inclusion of the anthracene moieties, the TALPOP exhibited excellent 3 −1 detection sensitivity towards iodine via forescence quenching with Ksv value of 2.9 × 10 L mol . The cost efective TALPOP along with its high uptake and sensing of iodine, make it an ideal material for environmental remediation. Nuclear energy is becoming one of the most feasible alternative sources to meet the ever-increasing energy demand and minimize the emission of greenhouse gases because of its high-density energy, minimal carbon footprints, and low operation cost1–4. Despite such advantages, the potential emissions of radioactive material 129 131 3 14 85 (such as I and I, H, CO2, and Kr) from nuclear energy power plants is a major drawback of this tech- nology due to the serious environmental and health efect of these materials4,5.

  • Carbonyl Compounds
    Carbonyl Compounds What are Carbonyl Compounds? Carbonyl compounds are compounds that contain the C=O (carbonyl) group. Preparation of Aldehydes: 1. Preparation from Acid Chloride (Rosenmund Reduction): This reaction was named after Karl Wilhelm Rosenmund, who first reported it in 1918. The reaction is a hydrogenation process in which an acyl chloride is selectively reduced to an aldehyde. The reaction, a hydrogenolysis, is catalysed by palladium on barium sulfate, which is sometimes called the Rosenmund catalyst. 2. Preparation from Nitriles: This reaction involves the preparation of aldehydes (R-CHO) from nitriles (R- CN) using SnCl2 and HCl and quenching the resulting iminium salt ([R- + − CH=NH2] Cl ) with water (H2O). During the synthesis, ammonium chloride is also produced. The reaction is known as Stephen Aldehyde synthesis. Dr. Sumi Ganguly Page 1 3. Preparation from Grignard Reagent: When Grignard Reagent is reacted with HCN followed by hydrolysis aldehyde is produced. Preparation of Ketones: 1. Preparation from Acid Chloride (Friedel-Crafts Acylation): Acid chlorides when reacted with benzene in presence of anhydrous AlCl3, aromatic ketone are produced. However, only aromatic ketones can be prepared by following this method. In order to prepare both aromatic and aliphatic ketones acid chlorides is reacted with lithium dialkylcuprate (Gilman Reagnt). Dr. Sumi Ganguly Page 2 The lithium dialkyl cuprate is produced by the reaction of two equivalents of the organolithium reagent with copper (I) iodide. Example: 3. Preparation from Nitriles and Grignard Reagents: When Grignard Reagent is reacted with RCN followed by hydrolysis aldehyde is produced.

It is worth to investigate the content of 3‑MCPD and GE in fries which also involved high temperature. The content of 3‑MCPD esters and GE were monitored in fries. The factors that been chosen were temperature and duration of frying, and diferent concentration of salt (NaCl). The results in our study showed that the efect was in the order of concentration of sodium chloride < frying duration < frying temperature. The content of 3‑MCPD esters was signifcantly increased whereas GE was signifcantly decreased, when prolong the frying duration. A high temperature results in a high 3‑MCPD ester level but a low GE level in fries. The present of salt had contributed signifcant infuence to the generation of 3‑MCPD. The soaking of potato chips in salt showed no signifcant efect on the level of GE during the frying. The oil oxidation tests showed that all the fries were below the safety limit. Hence, the frying cycle, temperature and the added salt to carbohydrate‑based food during frying should be monitored. Deep-fat frying is commonly being used to process food. During the process, heat transfer between the fried food and oil is occurs.

  • Polycarbodiimides As Classification-Free and Easy to Use Crosslinkers for Water-Based Coatings
    White paper Polycarbodiimides as classification-free and easy to use crosslinkers for water-based coatings By Dr. A.J. Derksen, Stahl International bv, The Netherlands Polycarbodiimides (CDl) selectively react with carboxylic acid (–COOH) groups in polymer chains. This type of crosslinking reaction results in a classic 3D polymer-crosslinker network. Compared to polyisocyanates, polycarbodiimides are much less sensitive to presence of water and able to achieve long pot lives. Due to the high reactivity, curing with CDI type crosslinkers can be done under room temperature or typical oven conditions used for drying of applied coatings. In addition to standard CDI crosslinker chemistry, on offer is also a range of dual reactivity CDI crosslinkers. A second type of reactive groups is attached to the polycarbodiimide in this range. Upon curing, this crosslinker not only reacts with the –COOH groups in the polymer chains, but also two of the reactive groups attached to the separate CDI molecules can couple to form an even denser network structure. Building further on the success of these polycarbodiimide crosslinkers, VOC-free polycarbodiimides, in aqueous delivery form, were introduced, which give extreme long pot lives. 1. Introduction when dealing with flexible substrates. A high level of crosslinking Crosslinking is widely practiced in nearly all the coating may be acceptable for hard coatings on rigid substrates, but industries in order to improve the performance of the coating. low levels may be best for soft coatings on extensible, flexible These improvements include wear, abrasion and chemical substrates such as rubber and leather. An important crosslinking resistances and toughness1. The improved performance originates system for aqueous resins involves the use of water-dispersible from the formation of a continuous three-dimensional network, oligomeric polyisocyanates.

B. Grossman, Professor of Chemistry Lexington, KY 2006 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION STUDIES TOWARD SYNTHESIS OF POLYCYCLIC POLYPRENYLATED ACYLPHLOROGLUCINOLS Polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) are a class of compounds that reveal intriguing biological activities and interesting and challenging chemical structures. These products are claimed to possess antioxidant, antiviral, and antimitotic properties. Increasing interest is related to their function in the CNS as modulators of neurotransmitters associated to neuronal damaging and depression. All these features make PPAPs targets for synthesis. We decided to focus our own initial efforts in this area on the type A PPAP, nemorosone because we thought that its fairly simple structure relative to other PPAPs would present fewer hurdles as we developed our methodology.

  • Cyanide Remediation: Current and Past Technologies C.A
    CYANIDE REMEDIATION: CURRENT AND PAST TECHNOLOGIES C.A. Young§ and T.S. Jordan, Department of Metallurgical Engineering, Montana Tech, Butte, MT 59701 ABSTRACT Cyanide (CN-) is a toxic species that is found predominantly in industrial effluents generated by metallurgical operations. Cyanide's strong affinity for metals makes it favorable as an agent for metal finishing and treatment and as a lixivant for metal leaching, particularly gold. These technologies are environmentally sound but require safeguards to prevent accidental spills from contaminating soils as well as surface and ground waters. Various methods of cyanide remediation by separation and oxidation are therefore reviewed. Reaction mechanisms are given throughout. The methods are compared in regard to their effectiveness in treating various cyanide species: free cyanide, thiocyanate, weak-acid dissociables and strong-acid dissociables.

  • Than Was the Monoleucyl Ester of Cis-Cyclopentane-1,2-Diol
    SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE MECHANISM OF THE ACYLATION PROCESS IN PROTEIN SYNTHESIS* BY BEVERLY E. GRIFFIN AND C. B. REESE UNIVERSITY CHEMICAL LABORATORY, CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND Communicated by Lord Todd, January 2, 1964 During recent years much attention has been given to the mechanism of synthesis of proteins in biological systems.' Although the process is by no means fully understood, some of the steps involved appear to be well established.2-4 Before amino acids can be incorporated into polypeptide chains they must first be "activated." The "activation" process involves ribonucleic acids of comparatively low molecular weight, known as "transfer" or "soluble" ribonucleic acids (sRNA), adenosine-5' triphosphate (ATP) as an energy source, and a specific enzyme for each amino acid. In the first step of the "activation" process, the amino acid reacts with ATP to form a mixed anhydride with adenosine-5' phosphate (AMP) releasing inorganic pyrophosphate; this mixed anhydride then acylates a specific sRNA on its terminal nucleoside (adenosine) residue to yield a 2' (or 3')-aminoacyl ester-the "activated" amino-acid. These processes are reversible. ATP + amino acid aminoacyl-AMP + pyrophosphate (1) sRNA + aminoacyl-AMP aminoacyl-sRNA + AMP (2) Beyond this point our knowledge of the process of polypeptide synthesis is less certain. The "activated" amino acids are believed to be transferred to the ribo- somes-the site of assembly of polypeptide chains-and then the amino acids become linked together in a genetically controlled order to synthesize a specific protein.5 Although there is as yet no definite evidence regarding this final step, it is frequently assumed that it involves a simple acylation as indicated in step (3).

  • Manufacturing of Potassium Permanganate Kmno4  This Is the Most Important and Well Known Salt of Permanganic Acid
    Manufacturing of Potassium Permanganate KMnO4 This is the most important and well known salt of permanganic acid. It is prepared from the pyrolusite ore. It is prepared by fusing pyrolusite ore either with KOH or K2CO3 in presence of atmospheric oxygen or any other oxidising agent such as KNO3. The mass turns green with the formation of potassium manganate, K2MnO4. 2MnO2 + 4KOH + O2 →2K2MnO4 + 2H2O 2MnO2 + 2K2CO3 + O2 →2K2MnO4 + 2CO2 The fused mass is extracted with water. The solution is now treated with a current of chlorine or ozone or carbon dioxide to convert manganate into permanganate. 2K2MnO4 + Cl2 → 2KMnO4 + 2KCl 2K2MnO4 + H2O + O3 → 2KMnO4 + 2KOH + O2 3K2MnO4 + 2CO2 → 2KMnO4 + MnO2 + 2K2CO3 Now-a-days, the conversion is done electrolytically. It is electrolysed between iron cathode and nickel anode. Dilute alkali solution is taken in the cathodic compartment and potassium manganate solution is taken in the anodic compartment. Both the compartments are separated by a diaphragm. On passing current, the oxygen evolved at anode oxidises manganate into permanganate. At anode: 2K2MnO4 + H2O + O → 2KMnO4 + 2KOH 2- - - MnO4 → MnO4 + e + - At cathode: 2H + 2e → H2 Properties: It is purple coloured crystalline compound. It is fairly soluble in water. When heated alone or with an alkali, it decomposes evolving oxygen. 2KMnO4 → K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2 4KMnO4 + 4KOH → 4K2MnO4 + 2H2O + O2 On treatment with conc. H2SO4, it forms manganese heptoxide via permanganyl sulphate which decomposes explosively on heating. 2KMnO4+3H2SO4 → 2KHSO4 + (MnO3)2SO4 + 2H2O (MnO3)2SO4 + H2O → Mn2O7 + H2SO4 Mn2O7 → 2MnO2 + 3/2O2 Potassium permanganate is a powerful oxidising agent. A mixture of sulphur, charcoal and KMnO4 forms an explosive powder.

  • Alcohol Oxidation
    Alcohol oxidation Alcohol oxidation is an important organic reaction. Primary alcohols (R-CH2-OH) can be oxidized either Mechanism of oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids via aldehydes and The indirect oxidation of aldehyde hydrates primary alcohols to carboxylic acids normally proceeds via the corresponding aldehyde, which is transformed via an aldehyde hydrate (R- CH(OH)2) by reaction with water. The oxidation of a primary alcohol at the aldehyde level is possible by performing the reaction in absence of water, so that no aldehyde hydrate can be formed. Contents Oxidation to aldehydes Oxidation to ketones Oxidation to carboxylic acids Diol oxidation References Oxidation to aldehydes Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes is partial oxidation; aldehydes are further oxidized to carboxylic acids. Conditions required for making aldehydes are heat and distillation. In aldehyde formation, the temperature of the reaction should be kept above the boiling point of the aldehyde and below the boiling point of the alcohol. Reagents useful for the transformation of primary alcohols to aldehydes are normally also suitable for the oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones. These include: Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones Chromium-based reagents, such as Collins reagent (CrO3·Py2), PDC or PCC. Sulfonium species known as "activated DMSO" which can result from reaction of DMSO with electrophiles, such as oxalyl chloride (Swern oxidation), a carbodiimide (Pfitzner-Moffatt oxidation) or the complex SO3·Py (Parikh-Doering oxidation). Hypervalent iodine compounds, such as Dess-Martin periodinane or 2-Iodoxybenzoic acid. Catalytic TPAP in presence of excess of NMO (Ley oxidation). Catalytic TEMPO in presence of excess bleach (NaOCl) (Oxoammonium-catalyzed oxidation).
