Convenient Preparation of 2,7,8‐Trimethyl‐6‐hydroxychroman‐2‐carboxylic Acid (γ‐Trolox)

The title chroman is useful in synthesis and as a water‐soluble analog of γ‐tocopherol, a member of the vitamin E family. This new synthesis of γ‐trolox proceeds via selective aromatic demethylation of Trolox, the more easily available 2,5,7,8‐tetramethyl homolog compound. This route is shorter than the previous synthesis, avoids the use of cyanide and methoxybutadiene, and requires no chromatography.     

Synthesis,characterization and antioxidant,antibacterial activity Zn2+, Cu2+, Ni2+ and Co2+, complexes of ligand [2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole]

New metal complexes of (Zn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)) based on the ligand 2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole] were synthesized, whose structures were determined with the different spectroscopic techniques ¹H NMR,¹³C NMR, FT-IR, UV–Visible and by mass spectrometry. The thermal analysis was performed by TG-DTA. The antioxidant activity of the ligand and its complexes was evaluated by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method, in comparison with the synthetic antioxidant, ascorbic acid. The results obtained showed that the antioxidant activity of the ligand and its complexes is moderate and that the copper complex has a high activity that exceeds that of ascorbic acid. Antimicrobial activity of the ligand and its metal complexes was studied against two Gram-positive bacteria: Bacillus subtilis ILP1428B, Staphylococcus aureus CIP543154 and two Gram-negative bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27653, Escherichia coli CIP5412 (American Type Culture Collection)the activity data show that the metal complexes are more potent than the free ligand.     

固相萃取-毛细管柱气相色谱-质谱测定土壤和蔬菜中三唑酮残留量

提出固相萃取分离,毛细管柱气相色谱和质谱联用法测定土壤及蔬菜中三唑酮的残留量.试样用乙腈提取,所得提取液在80℃吹氮至近干,并加正己烷2 mL溶解残渣.此溶液流经填充酸性氧化铝的固相萃取小柱,用正己烷-丙酮(2+1)混合溶剂淋洗小柱,使土壤样品中存在的硫磺与需测定的三唑酮分离.用正己烷一丙酮(1+3)混合溶剂将三唑酮从小柱上解吸洗下,所得洗出液蒸发浓缩,用正己烷定容为5.0 mL供GC-MS分析用.测定中用三唑酮标准溶液制备浓度范围在0.006～1.44 mg·L-1之间的标准曲线.方法的检出限(3S/N)为0.001 mg·kg-1.在3个浓度水平上对方法的回收及精密度作了试验,测得其回收率及相对标准偏差(n=5)依次在84%～92 9,5及1.93%～4.04%之间.
