Photocatalytic degradation of two azo dyes ABSTRACT Biological and Chemical Degradation of Azo Dyes under Aerobic Conditions By Jack T. Spadaro Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology, 1994 Dr. V. Renganathan, Thesis Advisor Azo dyes represent >SO% of synthetic industrial dyes. Azo dyes are recalcitrant to aerobic bacterial degradation. Reductive cleavage of the azo linkage under anaerobic conditions yields potentially carcinogenic aromatic amines. This thesis examines aerobic azo dye degradation by the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete ch ysosporium, by peroxidases, and by hydroxyl radicals. P. ch ysosporium, a lignin-degrading basidiomycete, extensively mineralized several hydrophobic azo dyes over a 12day period. All dyes were degraded most extensively in ligninolytic cultures. Hydroxyl, acetamido, nitro, and N-alkylamino substituents enhanced dye degradation. Disperse Yellow 3 (DY3, 2-[4'-acetamidophenylazo]-4-methylphenol),a dye mineralized by P. chysosporium, yielded acetanilide as a major metabolite during fungal degradation in cultures that produce lignin and manganese peroxidases (Lip and MnP). Degradation of DY3 by Lip, Mn(III)- malonate (a MnP mimic), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was studied. The major products were acetanilide, 4-methyl-1,2-benzoquinone,and dimerized DY3. A mechanism for DY3 degradation is suggested. Either Mn(III) or the H202-oxidized forms of the peroxidases oxidize the phenolic ring of the dye by two electrons, producing an azo-bearing carbonium ion. Hydrolytic azo cleavage forms the quinone product and an acetamidophenyldiazene intermediate. The acetamidophenyldiazene is oxidized by metal or oxygen to produce an acetamidophenyldiazenyl radical, which cleaves homolytically to acetamidophenyl radical and molecular nitrogen. The acetamidophenyl radical abstracts a hydrogen from the surroundings, yielding acetanilide. Consistent with this mechanism, dyes containing phenylazo substitutions were degraded to quinones and benzenes by HRP. Further support for the mechanism was obtained through deuterium labeling studies. Hydroxyl radicals, produced for 24 h by reaction of ferric nitrate and hydrogen peroxide at pH 2.8, degraded large amounts of hydrophobic azo dyes to CO2 and water-soluble compounds. Products included benzene, formed during degradation of phenylazo-substituted dyes, and aliphatic acids. A mechanism resembling that for the peroxidase-catalyzed degradation of azo dyes is proposed for dye degradation by hydroxyl radical. xii CHAPTER ONE

The present paper describes the synthesis of a new metal complex acid dye obtained from the reaction of acid red 151 2+ 1 with a metallic ion (Co ), and its structure was confirmed by HNMR and IR spectroscopy. The pretreatment of silk and wool fibers by quaternary ammonium salt was carried out by conventional and microwave methods. The absorbance of the original and residual dye in the dye bath calculated from dye exhaustion. The color data of untreated and pretreated silk and wool fibers at different conditions was calculated. The fastness properties of washing, rubbing, perspiration and light to dyed fibers have been measured. KEYWORDS: Synthesis dye, metal complex, wool fiber, silk fiber.

  • Experiment 19: Combinatorial Synthesis of Azo Dyes
    1 Experiment 19: Combinatorial Synthesis of Azo Dyes When a new pharmaceutical is needed to treat a medical condition, modern chemists sometimes utilize a research technique known as combinatorial chemistry to find molecules that have the necessary biological activity. In combinatorial chemistry, a large number of structurally related compounds, called a library, is generated using a single common reaction. The diversity of the compounds in the library can arise from varying the substituents of the molecule, the functional groups or both. For instance, a library of esters can be generated by reacting a variety of different alcohols and carboxylic acids together. Once a library has been generated, the compounds must be screened for the desired activity. An example of a class of drugs that was explored using combinatorial methods are the benzodiazepines, which are used to treat anxiety disorders. Two approaches to combinatorial syntheses are employed. In a parallel synthesis, each compound is prepared individually, and the tests are performed separately on each compound. In a split synthesis, the library of compounds is both prepared and tested in mixtures of the compounds. In the latter case, the results of the tests are complex and usually require deconvolution, although a savings is realized in terms of time and materials. In either case, combinatorial chemistry allows the researcher to draw conclusions about the relationship between structure and function in molecules. The technique has been so successfully exploited that it is now utilized in other areas of chemistry besides pharmaceutical research, including catalysis and materials research. In this experiment, your lab section will generate a library of dye compounds using a parallel synthesis.

Introduction Small molecules and macromolecules containing imide groups exhibit great electrical properties, good solubility in polar media, resistance to hydrolysis and high thermal stability [1-8]. Due to their excellent properties many efforts have been made to produce different compounds containing imide groups consisting of two carbonyl groups bound to nitrogen. The most common unsubstituted cyclic imides were prepared by heating dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides with reactants including ammonia, urea, formamide lithium nitride or primary amines [9-12], but the reaction needs to be carried out at high temperatures for efficient ring closure.

    Chemoselective bioconjugation reactions of tyrosine residues for application in PET radiochemistry by Samantha Leier A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Cancer Sciences Department of Oncology University of Alberta © Samantha Leier, 2018 ABSTRACT Achieving chemoselectivity while maintaining bioorthogonality are among some of the major challenges in bioconjugation chemistry. Bioconjugation chemistry has important applications in PET radiochemistry. While modern bioconjugation techniques rely predominantly on lysine and cysteine residues as targets for bioconjugation, other bioconjugation techniques that selectively target other amino acids would contribute greatly to the development of new PET radiotracers. Although only modestly prevalent and often buried within the protein structure, tyrosine represents an attractive target for bioconjugation. Tyrosine residues can be selectively targeted by both luminol derivatives and aryl diazonium salts. Luminol derivatives react via an ene-like reaction where as diazonium compounds react via electrophilic aromatic substitution to produce a stable conjugate. Recently, luminol derivatives have been reported for the introduction of fluorescent probes into proteins and diazonium salts have been reported for the introduction of radiometals into tyrosinamide-containing polymers. To the best of our knowledge, neither technique has been applied to PET radiotracer synthesis. Therefore, the aim of this project is the chemoselective introduction of radionuclides onto tyrosine residues under mild conditions. Specifically, we describe the preparation of 18F-labeled luminol derivatives as well as 64Cu- and 68Ga-labeled diazonium salts as novel building blocks for subsequent coupling with tyrosine residues under mild conditions. Luminol derivative N-(4-[18F]fluorobenzyl)-2-methyl-1,4-dioxo- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-phthalazine-6-carboxamide (29) was synthesized in 48% radiochemical yield.
