The potentiometric and spectrophotometric determination of dissociation constants for same 2-mercapto-5-R-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives

Electronic absorption study on acid-base equilibria for some keto and thioketo pyrimidine derivatives. Experimental and theoretical evidence of enolization and solute-solvent interactions

The UV-vis spectra of recently synthesized 1-amino-5-benzoyl-4-phenyl-1H-pyrimidine-2-one, (I), and 1-amino-5-benzoyl-4-phenyl-1H-pyrimidine-2-thione (II), were studied in aqueous methanol (5%, v/v, methanol) and pure methanol. The nature of the electronic transitions and the role of carbonyl oxygen of I and thiocarbonyl sulfur of II in the behavior of the observed UV-vis spectra were discussed. The carbonyl group at position 2 of I and the thiocarbonyl group of II were found to be enolized instead of protonation. Quantum chemical calculations showed agreement with the experimental evidence. However, the carbonyl group of the benzoyl moiety at position 5 of both compounds underwent neither enolization nor protonation. Acid-base equilibria of the compounds against varying pH have been examined in detail. The pKa values of all related equilibria were determined at room temperature and an ionic strength of 0.10 M from the pH-dependence of the absorbance values using the Henderson-Haselbalch equation and graphical logarithmic analysis. The mean acidity constants for the protonated forms of the compounds were determined as pKa1=4.214 and pKa2=6.678 for I and pKa1=3.739 and pKa2=6.258 for II. The mean acidity constants (pKa3) for the enol form of I and the thioenol form of II were determined as 11.278 and 11.063, respectively. The preferred dissociation mechanisms were discussed based on the data of UV-vis spectroscopy and a mechanism was proposed for each compound. The formation of intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding were found with I but not with II. The intramolecular bonding stabilizing the enol form was favoured at pH values corresponding to pKa1 and above. On the other hand, the intermolecular hydrogen bonding stabilizing the free form of the carbonyl group was favoured at all pH values.

1H NMR determination of absolute configuration of 1- or 2-aryl-substituted alcohols and amines by means of their diastereomers: novel separation technique of diastereomeric derivatives of pyridyl alcohols by extraction

A convenient method to determine the absolute configuration of trans-2-aryl cyclohexanols, 1-aryl alcohols and amines was achieved. This method takes advantage of the 1H NMR spectroscopic observations of the remarkable high-field shift of C18-CH3 protons caused by the aromatic shielding effect. It is based on a discrimination of the difference of the environments in two diastereomers derived from 3 beta-acetoxy-5-etienic acid. Furthermore, it was observed that the corresponding diastereomeric derivatives of the pyridyl alcohols were simply separated by extraction based on the difference in their basicity.

Determination of cadmium by differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry

A study of the adsorptive stripping voltammetry of cadmium on a mercury drop electrode is reported in which 2-mercapto-5-phenyl-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole (MPATD), synthesized at home has been used as a chelating agent. The most suitable operating conditions and parameters such as buffer, pH, deposition potential, deposition time, ligand concentration, scan rate and others were selected and the determination of cadmium from aqueous solutions using the standard additions method was possible. As validation criteria, the linearity and range, repeatability of the signal, repeatability of the concentration and accuracy were investigated. A limit of detection of 4.67 x 10(-10) M and a limit of quantification of 1.55 x 10(-9) M were achieved. The interference of other metals and organic substances was studied. Concerning a possible catalytic effect, no one was found. The method was designed in order to determine Cd from biological samples.
