Turkish Journal of Chemistry

New furanoside-based NHC precursor salts (2) were synthesized using amino alcohols from the chloralose derivatives of glucose (a), galactose (b), and mannose (c). The novel compounds were fully characterized by $^{1}$H NMR, $^{13}$C NMR, and elemental analyses. The catalytic activities of these salts were tested in the arylation of aldehydes as catalysts that were generated in situ from [RhCl(COD)]$_{2}$. In addition, 2a was converted to the rhodium complex 3a in order to compare the results obtained in situ. The newly synthesized compounds were very efficient in terms of yield; nevertheless they did not exhibit a chiral induction.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new and appropriate synthesis for hexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione derivatives has been developed starting from 3-sulfolene. The epoxidation of 2-ethyl/phenyl-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-(2H)-dione and then the opening of the epoxide with nucleophiles gave hexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione derivatives. Amino and triazole derivatives of hexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione were synthesized from the formed product by the opening reaction of the epoxide with sodium azide. Hydroxyl analogues were obtained from cis-hydroxylation of 2-ethyl/phenyl-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-(2H)-dione. The hydroxyl groups were converted to acetate.


Chromium Redox Speciation In Food Samples, Krystyna Pyrzynska Jan 2016

Chromium Redox Speciation In Food Samples, Krystyna Pyrzynska

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Chromium is an element with important biological characteristics, depending on its different species. Cr(III) is considered as essential; however, the Cr(VI) form is classified as carcinogenic.~For this reason, speciation analysis in food samples is a very important question. The proposed data procedures for chromium redox speciation in the literature can be divided into those with the use of online hyphenated techniques and those where appropriate sample pretreatment is necessary. The strategies for nonchromatographic speciation are mainly based on selective liquid--liquid extraction procedures, coprecipitation, selective separation of chromium species using a solid phase extraction column, or complexation reactions. In this paper, …
