Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Kinetic studies of the oxidation of L-isoleucine (ISL) and L-ornithine hydrochloride (ORH) by sodium N-bromobenzenesulphonamide (bromamine-B or BAB) were studied in aqueous perchloric acid medium. The rate shows first-order dependence on both [BAB]_0 and [amino acid]_0 and inverse first-order dependence on [H^+] for ISL and first-order dependence on [H^+] for ORH. The rate of reaction decreased with decreases in the dielectric constant of the medium. The addition of benzenesulphonamide (BSA), which is one of the reaction products, had no significant effect on the reaction rate. The rate remained unchanged with the variation in the ionic strength of the medium for …

Isolation And Characterization Of A Smectite As A Micro-Mesoporous Material From A Bentonite, Müşerref Önal, Yüksel Sarikaya, Tülay Alemdaroğlu, İhsan Bozdoğan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A procedure was assessed for obtaining an optimum amount of a micro-mesoporous material known as smectite from Reşadiye (Tokat/Turkey) bentonite. The procedure, which will permit a better economic evaluation of the Reşadiye reserves, is based on successive settlements of bentonite suspensions during various time intervals. To characterize the original bentonite, its fractions and the high purity smectite product, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption techniques were used. The original bentonite contained 50% by mass sodium-rich smectite (NaS) and 10% by mass NaCa-smectite (NaCaS). It also contained illite, clinoptilolite, analcime, feldspar, calcite, dolomite, quartz …

Application Of Ibx Method For The Synthesis Of Ketones From Carboxylic Acids, H. R. Ferhat Karabulut, Mesut Kaçan, Hasan Özyildirim

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Methoxy phenyl propionic acid and some derivatives are converted to ketones using a new method. All classical methods to obtain ketones from carboxylic acids via acid halide consistently gave very low yields and regularly generated intermolecular cyclisation products or polymeric materials. However, high ketones yields are obtained by using the new IBX method.

Application Of Potassium Chromate-Diphenylcarbazide In The Quantitative Determination Of Ascorbic Acid By Spectrophotometry, Meissam Noroozifar, M. Khorasani Motlagh

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of ascorbic acid in pure form and in a number of pharmaceutical preparations and real samples has been developed that offers the advantages of simplicity, accuracy, precision and sensitivity over many other methods. The method is based on the oxidation of ascorbic acid by a known excess amount of potassium chromate followed by the estimation of the unreacted amount of chromate by reactions with sym-diphenylcarbazide. The reacted oxidant corresponds to the ascorbic content. At the maximum absorption of 548 nm, Beer's law is obeyed up to 5 \mu g/mL of ascorbic acid. Statistical treatment …


Photochemical Reactions Of \Alpha-Terpinene And Acenaphthene Under Concentrated Sunlight, Nesi̇be Avcibaşi, Siddik İçli̇, Andrew Gilbert Jan 2003

Photochemical Reactions Of \Alpha-Terpinene And Acenaphthene Under Concentrated Sunlight, Nesi̇be Avcibaşi, Siddik İçli̇, Andrew Gilbert

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

\alpha-Terpinene was successfully dehydrogenated to p-cymene in photocatalytic reaction with benzophenone and cupric ions under 40 suns concentrated sunlight irradiation, proving that photodehydrogenation reactions may be employed for the synthesis of fine chemicals under sunlight. Acenaphthene dehydrogenation under concentrated sunlight resulted in the minor formation of acenaphthylene and the quantitative formation of acenaphthenone when the solution was aerated. Stable benzylic-type radical intermediates are thought to lower the yield of dehydrogenation reactions.

A GC-MS combined system was used to identify the products during pyrolytic decomposition. The pyrolytic end products were identified by x-ray powder diffraction. The orders, n, the activation energies, E^*, the pre-exponential factors, A, and the entropies, \Delta S^*, of thermal decomposition reactions were derived from thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric curves. The kinetic analysis …

Conductimetric And Potentiometric Investigation Of Effects Of Solvents And Titrant On Formation Of Homoconjugates, Esi̇n Canel, Mustafa Taşteki̇n, Orhan Atakol, Esma Kiliç

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Trichloro-, tribromo- and trifluoro- acetic acids were both conductimetrically and potentiometrically titrated in acetonitrile and 2-propanol media. The titrations were carried out at 25°C under nitrogen atmosphere and titrants used were the solutions of triethyl, di-n-butyl and n-butyl amines prepared in the same solvents. Whether these acids gave a homoconjugation reaction during titration was investigated by the use of conductimetric and potentiometric titration curves. In acetonitrile media trichloro- and tribromo-acetic acids decomposed to give chloroform and carbon dioxide, and bromoform and carbon dioxide respectively. It was observed that the acid concentration and the type of titrant used had no effect …

Kinetics Of Polymerization Of 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylate Initiated By A Titanium(Iii)-Dimethylglyoxime Redox System, Kalappa Prashantha, K. V. Kumar Pai, M. Puttegowda Yashoda, B. Sheena Sherigara

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The polymerization of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) initiated by the redox system titanium(III)-dimethyl glyoxime (DMG) was studied in dimethyl formamide (DMF)-water (80:20 v/v) medium in the temperature range 290-310 K. The rate of polymerization (R_{p}) was investigated at various concentrations of reductant, oxidant, sulfuric acid, and monomer. Cyclic voltametric sensing of dimethylglyoxime under the kinetic conditions demonstrated its reduction behavior. From the obtained results, it was inferred that the polymerization reaction was initiated by an organic free radical arising from the titanium(III)-dimethylglyoxime redox system. Chain termination of the polymer took place predominantly by mutual coupling and small fraction by chain transfer mechanism …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The synthesis of a range of 3-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2- carboxamide with antimicrobial activity is described. Amide derivatives of pyranone were synthesised using TBTU [2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate] as a coupling agent and NMM (N-methylmorpholine) as a base. Antimicrobial activities were determined as MIC values using the microdilution broth method against Staphylococcus aureus, Entrococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa for bacteria and Candida albicans, C. krusei and C. parapsilosis for fungi. 3-Hydroxy-6-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-[N-(4'-methylcoumarin-7-yl) carboxamide] (8c) exhibited higher antibacterial activity against S. aureus, E. faecalis and E. coli than the other compounds.
