SHARMA 3 1 Department of Chemistry, Khalsa College for Women, Ludhiana, Punjab, India 2 3 Department of Chemistry, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India ABSTRACT Eight new quaternary salts of ammonia (1a-d and 2a-d), from different phenols were synthesized and tested as plant growth retardants. The structure of various tertiary amines and esters was established with the help of IR and NMR spectral studies. Biological activity of these compounds was tested using seed germination and seedling growth as bioassay of Oryza sativa . All the compounds showed plant growth retardant activity comparable to cycocel (CCC) at higher concentrations. KEYWORDS: Cycocel, Oryza Sativa, Tertiary Amine, Quaternary Ammonium Salts INTRODUCTION Plant growth retardants have been used for many years to manipulate the size, shape and overall quality of various crops. These compounds have been used to control the lodging, increasing the yield and producing compact plant in different crops. Quaternary ammonium salts have been found to possess plant growth retardant activity. In the present work eight new quaternary salts of ammonia from different phenols have been synthesized and tested as plant growth retardants MATERIAL AND METHODS Purity of analytical samples was checked by TLC. Silica gel G(13% gypsum) was employed for TLC plates of size(7.5 x2.5). The plates were developed in ether, benzene and ethyl acetate solvents of varying proportions. The spots were visualized by placing the plates for some time in chamber saturated with iodine .Drying of all organic extracts was done over anhydrous Na 2SO 4. Preparation of Phenylchloroacetate (7) A mixture of phenol (4.7g, 0.05 mol), chloroacetic acid (4.7g, 0.05 mol) and benzene (30 ml) in the presence of ’ acid catalyst (0.5ml, conc. H 2SO 4) was refluxed with the help of Dean and Stark s apparatus till the separation of water is stopped. The cooled reaction mixture was treated with saturated solution of NaHCO 3 and washed with water and extracted with benzene. Extract was dried over anhydrous Na 2SO 4 and solvent was removed by distillation. The residue was distilled o ,max 3060, 3005, 2959, 1761, 1595, 1494ט .under reduced pressure to give (7).

Sharma BIOLOGICAL TESTING Quaternary salts of ammonia were tested on Oryza sativa (PR 116). To test on rice, twenty seeds in each replication were placed on a filter paper laid on bottom of a petridish of 9cm diameter to which 7ml of test solution of different concentration (25, 50, 100, 200, 400,500 micro g /ml ) of the compounds had been poured. Each dish was kept at 28 + 2oC for 7 days and there after the seed germination (%), root length and shoot length were measured. Separate control treatments with water, cycocel and ABA were also recorded simultaneously. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Plant growth retardants have been used for many years to manipulate the size, shape and overall quality of various crops.

China *Corresponding author: Fax: +86 351 6111178; Tel: +86 351 60105503; E-mail: [email protected] Received: 14 March 2013; Accepted: 17 May 2013; Published online: 15 January 2014; AJC-14570 The process of acetic acid catalysis and chlorination for synthesizing chloroacetic acid can exist in not only gas phase but also liquid phase. In this paper, the gas-phase reaction mechanism of the synthesis of chloroacetic acid was studied. Due to the high concentration of acetic acid and the better reaction mass transfer in the liquid-phase reaction, the generation amount of the dichloroacetic acid was higher than that in the gas-phase reaction. Under the solution distillation, the concentration of acetyl chloride, whose boiling point is very low, was very high in the gas phase, sometimes even up to 99 %, which would cause the acetyl chloride to escape rapidly with the hydrogen chloride exhaust, so that the reaction slowed down. Therefore, series reactions occured easily in the gas-phase reaction causing the amount of the dichloroacetic acid to increase. Keywords: Gas phase, Catalysis, Chlorination, Chloroacetic acid, Acetic acid. INTRODUCTION Martikainen et al.3 summed up the reaction mechanism that was consistent with a mechanism found by Sioli according Chloroacetic acid is not only a fine chemical product but to the system condition experiment and systematic theoretical also an important intermediate in organic synthesis.

  • Chloroacetic Acid
    Chloroacetic Acid 79-11-8 Hazard Summary Exposure to chloroacetic acid is most likely to occur in the workplace. Acute (short-term) inhalation or dermal exposure may irritate or cause severe damage to the skin, eyes, respiratory tract, and mucous membranes and cause depression of the central nervous system in humans. No information is available on the chronic (long-term) effects of chloroacetic acid in humans. Damage to the respiratory tract has been observed in rodents chronically exposed to chloroacetic acid by inhalation, orally, and via gavage (experimentally placing the chemical in the stomach). EPA has not classified chloroacetic acid for potential carcinogenicity. Please Note: The main source of information for this fact sheet is EPA's Health and Environmental Effects Document for Chloroacetic Acid (2). Other secondary sources include the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) (3), a database of summaries of peer-reviewed literature, and the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) (6), a database of toxic effects that are not peer reviewed. Uses Chloroacetic acid is used in the manufacture of cellulose ethers (used mainly for drilling muds, detergents, food, and pharmaceuticals), as a post-emergence contact herbicide and defoliant, and in the manufacture of glycine and thioglycolic acid. (2) Chloroacetic acid is also used in the manufacture of various dyes, synthetic caffeine, and organic chemicals. (1,4) Sources and Potential Exposure Individuals are most likely to be exposed to chloroacetic acid in the workplace. (1) Chloroacetic acid may be released to the environment during its production and use. (2) Assessing Personal Exposure No information was located regarding the measurement of personal exposure to chloroacetic acid.

  • COUMARONE [Benzofuran]
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk. Organic Syntheses, Inc., its Editors, and its Board of Directors do not warrant or guarantee the safety of individuals using these procedures and hereby disclaim any liability for any injuries or damages claimed to have resulted from or related in any way to the procedures herein.
