Article Abstract

This study reports the convenient, low cost, one-step synthesis of labelled analogues of six volatile phenols, guaiacol, 4-methylguaiacol, 4-ethylguaiacol, 4-ethylphenol, eugenol and vanillin, using microwave-assisted deuterium exchange, for use as internal standards for stable isotope dilution analysis. The current method improves on previous strategies in that it enables incorporation of deuterium atoms on the aromatic ring, thereby ensuring retention of the isotope label during mass spectrometry fragmentation. When used as standards for SIDA, these labelled volatile phenols will improve the accuracy and reproducibility of quantitative food and beverage analysis.

Lyophilization is a common unit operation in pharmaceutical manufacturing but is a prolonged vacuum drying process with poor energy utilization. Microwave-assisted vacuum drying has been investigated to accelerate the lyophilization process. However, the literature lacks methodical approaches that consider the lyophilizer, the lyophilizate, the microwave power uniformity, the resulting heat uniformity, and the scalability.

Sigmatropic Rearrangement-Based Synthesis of 4-Alkenyl-1,3-dithiol-2-ones.

Org Lett

May 2019

Laboratoire de Synthèse Organique , Ecole Polytechnique , CNRS UMR 7652, Palaiseau 91128 Cedex , France.

A series of conjugated 4-alkenyl-1,3-dithiol-2-ones have been prepared by microwave-assisted rearrangement of S-(4-acyloxy-2-alkynyl)- O-ethyl xanthates in moderate to good yields. The synthetic approach is based on a combination of [3,3] and [1,5] sigmatropic rearrangements as well as the intermediacy of a reactive betaine that induces the ionic elimination of the acyloxy group. The [1,5] sigmatropic rearrangement was confirmed by a deuterium-labeling experiment.

Fast microwave-assisted green synthesis of xanthan gum grafted acrylic acid for enhanced methylene blue dye removal from aqueous solution.

Carbohydr Polym

November 2017

Department of Applied Chemistry, University of Johannesburg, P.O. Box 17011, Doornfontein 2028, Johannesburg, South Africa; Centre for Nanomaterials Science Research, University of Johannesburg, South Africa.

In the present project, graft polymerization was employed to synthesis a novel adsorbent using acrylic acid (AA) and xanthan gum (XG) for cationic methylene dye (MB) removal from aqueous solution. The XG was rapidly grafted with acrylic acid (CH=CHCOOH) under microwave heating. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Proton Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques were used to verify the adsorbent formed under optimized reaction conditions.
