Analysis Of Organic N-Chloramines In Chlorinated Drinking Water, John Po Wen Yang
Analysis Of Organic N-Chloramines In Chlorinated Drinking Water, John Po Wen Yang
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
This thesis describes the development of a sensitive method for the separation and quantitation of organic N-chloramines in chlorinated tap water. 5-Dimethylaminonaphthalene- l-sulfinic acid has been synthesized and characterized. It yields highly fluorescent dansyl derivatives on reaction with N-chloramines. Conditions of the derivatization were optimized for the detection of N-chloropiperidine at concentrations in aqueous solution of 10-7 M. The technique gives a quantity of derivative which is proportional to the concentration of chloramine present over the range examined (10-7 M to 10-4 M). High pressure liquid chromatographic separation of dansyl derivatives of amines and amino acids has …
Ortho Cyclization Reactions Of Catecholamines, Robert Lee Hudkins
Ortho Cyclization Reactions Of Catecholamines, Robert Lee Hudkins
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
A study was undertaken to examine the potential for ortho cyclization associated with the synthesis of 1,2,3,4,-tetrahydroisoquinolines using the Pictet-Spengler reaction. Specif1cally, the condensation of the biogenic amines, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine were carefully examined in light of current literature and the facility and extent of ortho cyclization in each case. The para isomers of these three biogenic amine condensation products were isolated and characterized, while only the ortho isomer derived from dopamine was found stable and could be isolated, and structurally identified. These studies demonstrate that a second cyclization product does, in fact, form in each instance and that …
The Regioselective 3-Alkylation Of Piperidine, Richard Dunn Todd
The Regioselective 3-Alkylation Of Piperidine, Richard Dunn Todd
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
The compounds: 3-allylpiperidine, 3-ethylpiperidine and 3-n-butylpiperidine have been synthesized by regioselectively alkylating the three position of piperidine. Piperidine was converted to N-chloropiperidine and then dehydrohalogenated to produce Δ1-piperideine. The enamide anion was generated by adding solutions of Δ1-piperideine to ethylmagnesium bromide or lithium diisopropylamide. Addition of alkylhalides produced 3-alkyl- Δ1-piperideine which could be reduced or alkyllithiated to give 3-alkylpiperidines or 2,3-dialkylpiperidines respectively.
The yields of products were low and the reaction generated a continuum of mono- and di-alkylpiperidines and there was evidence that several dimeric piperideines were formed. The low yields were discussed in …

Chemistry Of Organic N-Chloramines, Formation Of Arenesulfonamides By Derivatization Of Organic N-Chloramine With Sodium Arenesulfinate, Katherine F. Bowdring
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Organic N-chloramines are recognized by-products of chlorinated water systems. Because of their chemistry, none have been isolated or identified.
This paper discusses a method for the derivatization of the organic N-chloramines based on a nucleophillic substitution mechanism. N-Chloro derivatives of amines of various structures were studied including primary and secondary aliphatic amines, as well as amino acids. The effect of the presence of other functional groups including aromatic and unsaturated systems was investigated.
Derivatization was done by three different methods, one involving derivatization of the pure N-chloramine, and two involving derivatizations of the N-chloramine generated in situ. Seventeen arenesulfonamides have …
A Technique For The Isolation And Identification Of Aliphatic Amines In Water, Peter Alan Drew
A Technique For The Isolation And Identification Of Aliphatic Amines In Water, Peter Alan Drew
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Small, aliphatic amines added to a basic, aqueous solution (16.2 L) at a concentration of 100 parts per billion were isolated by sorption on a small column of macroreticular resin. The amines were eluted with diethyl ether; the eluate concentrated, and the compounds separated and identified by gas chromatography. The efficiency of the recovery of a-nines ranged from 5 to 28%.
A protocol for derivatizing pyrrolidine and n-pentylamine in ether with fluorinated acylating agents was developed. The method was found to be adequate for the detection of approximately 13 micrograms of &-nines in concentrated ether extract.

The Association Of 5.8 S With 28s Ribosomal Rna, Nandita Banerjee
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
5.8S rRNA is a low molecular weight ribosomal RNA which is noncovalently bonded to the larger ribosomal subunit 28S rRNA; through its 3' end and through its 5' end. This interaction is an integral part of the ribosome, and plays an important role in the ribosome structure and function.
There is a high degree of homology between the 5.8S rRNA primary structures of rat, turtle and chicken. The base sequence of rat 5.8S rRNA differs only in one position from that of turtle and in three positions fr.om that of cl1.icken. Tl1ere is a single purine substitution at the 5' …
A Study Of The Gas-Solid Reaction Between Hydrogen Sulfide And Mercury(I) Chloride; Development Of A Method For Determination Of Atmospheric Hydrogen Sulfide, Eric H. De Carlo
A Study Of The Gas-Solid Reaction Between Hydrogen Sulfide And Mercury(I) Chloride; Development Of A Method For Determination Of Atmospheric Hydrogen Sulfide, Eric H. De Carlo
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
The possibility of measuring hydrogen sulfide indirectly by measuring the mercury evolved from the gas-solid reaction between hydrogen sulfide and mercury(I) chloride was studied. DMCS treated glass wool was coated with mercurous chloride and used as a conversion material. The response to hydrogen sulfide was studied as a function of concentration and temperature. The possible interference of other sulfur gases and water was examined.
The studies indicated that hydrogen sulfide could be determined at concentrations as low as 15 ppb. It was found that mercaptans would actively interfere with the hydrogen sulfide to mercury conversion, but that sulfur dioxide would …
The Synthesis Of New Maleimide Addition Polymer Precursors, Richard B. Brown
The Synthesis Of New Maleimide Addition Polymer Precursors, Richard B. Brown
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
1H-2,3-dimethylpyrrolo(1,2-a) benzimidazol-l-one (27) and 1H,9H- 2,3,7,8-tetramethyl-bispyrrolo(1,2-a:6,7-a')benzodiimidazo1-1,9-dione (32) have been synthesized from dimethylmaleic anhydride and o-phenylenediamine and 1,2,4,5-tetraaminobenzene, respectively. The presence of reactive olefinic double bonds in the synthesized compounds was of interest as a site for possible addition polymerization.
The synthetic route involved, in both cases, a simple nucleophilic substitution reaction between the diamine(or tetraamine) and the anhydride to form an intermediate amide-acid-amine which rapidly cyclized to the imide amine. The final ring closure required more rigorous conditions and occurred at melt reaction temperatures.
The Thermal And Photolytic Rearrangements Of Isatoic Acid Diazide, Ana Alejandre Ciereszko
The Thermal And Photolytic Rearrangements Of Isatoic Acid Diazide, Ana Alejandre Ciereszko
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
The primary objective of this research has been the thermolysis and photolysis of isatoic acid diazide 1. Thermolysis in low boiling solvents produced the acylazido benzimidazolone 10, while refluxing in high boiling solvents gave rise to the imidazoindazoline 31, presumably via Curtius rearrangements.
Photolysis of the diazide in methylene chloride gave rise to two photo products, 10 and 31, while photolysis in tetrahydrofuran produced only 31.
A study of the spectral and chemical characteristics of these products have been carried out.

The Synthesis And Characterization Of The 2,2'-Bisacylazide Of 3,3'-Bipyridine, Magdy Adly Guirguis El-Fayoumy
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
The primary objective of this research has been the synthesis and characterization of a new heterocyclic diacylazide, the 2,2'-bisacylazide of 3,3'-bipyridine 19. This heterocyclic diacylazide has been successfully synthesized from the phenanthrolin-5,6-dione 14, and examined with regard to its.thermal and photolytic decomposition.
Thermal decomposition of this disacylazide seems to go by a double-barreled Curtius rearrangement leading to a series of pyridonaphthyridinone (20) compounds such as 22 and 29.
An initial study of the photolysis of this bisacylazide has been initiated to examine the possible formation of nitrene-type intermediates.
