Abstract We have developed and validated a simple detection system with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with positive ion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) for determining cimetropium levels in human plasma using scopolamine butyl bromide as an internal standard (I.S.). The acquisition was performed in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, by monitoring the transitions: m/z 357.9 > 103.1 for cimetropium and m/z 359.9 > 103.1 for butyl-scopolamine. The method involves a simple single-step liquid,liquid extraction with dichloromethane. The analyte was chromatographed on an YMC C18 reversed-phase chromatographic column by isocratic elution with 10 mM ammonium formate buffer,methanol (19 : 81, v/v; adjusted to pH 4.0 with formic acid). The results were linear over the studied range (0.2,100 ng ml,1), with r2 = 1.0000, and the total analysis time for each run was 2 min. Intra- and interassay precisions were 0.70,8.54% and 1.08,4.85%, respectively, and intra- and interassay accuracies were 97.56,108.23% and 97.48,103.91%, respectively. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 0.2 ng ml,1. At this concentration, mean intra- and interassay precisions were 8.54% and 4.85%, respectively, and mean intra- and interassay accuracies were 97.56% and 98.91%, respectively. The mean recovery ranged from 62.71 ± 4.06 to 64.23 ± 2.32%. Cimetropium was found to be stable in plasma samples under typical storage and processing conditions. The devised assay was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of cimetropium bromide administered as a single oral dose (150 mg) to healthy volunteers.

Anionic living polymerization of tert -Aminostyrenes and application of the polymers,

POLYMERS FOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, Issue 3-5 2003

Abstract Anionic living polymerization of tertiary aminostyrenes (tAS) that serve as chemical links between two polymers are studied and the applications of the polymers to reversible recording materials are summarized in this paper. For preparing well-defined polymers that have desired molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions by anionic living mechanism, three conditions are satisfied and the corresponding five experimental proofs are discussed using tAS as an example. The three poly(tertiary aminostyrene)s (PtAS) were prepared. The degree of quaternization of PtAS with n -butyl bromide could be controlled from 0 to 100%. The amino groups of PtAS were quaternized by p, p,-bis(chloromethyl)azobenzene (CAB) to prepare the cross-linked film and the network concentration was characterized by an equilibrium-swelling test. Photochemical isomerization of CAB incorporated in PtAS was investigated in order to prepare the reversible recording materials. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Cyclic Carbonate Synthesis Catalysed by Bimetallic Aluminium,Salen Complexes

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 23 2010

Abstract The development of bimetallic aluminium,salen complexes [{Al(salen)}2O] as catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates (including the commercially important ethylene and propylene carbonates) from a wide range of terminal epoxides in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a cocatalyst is reported. The bimetallic structure of one complex was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The bimetallic complexes displayed exceptionally high catalytic activity and in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide could catalyse cyclic carbonate synthesis at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Catalyst-reuse experiments demonstrated that one bimetallic complex was stable for over 60 reactions, though the tetrabutylammonium bromide decomposed in situ by a retro-Menschutkin reaction to form tributylamine and had to be regularly replaced. The mild reaction conditions allowed a full analysis of the reaction kinetics to be carried out and this showed that the reaction was first order in aluminium complex concentration, first order in epoxide concentration, first order in carbon dioxide concentration (except when used in excess) and unexpectedly second order in tetrabutylammonium bromide concentration. Further kinetic experiments demonstrated that the tributylamine formed in situ was involved in the catalysis and that addition of butyl bromide to reconvert the tributylamine into tetrabutylammonium bromide resulted in inhibition of the reaction. The reaction kinetics also indicated that no kinetic resolution of racemic epoxides was possible with this class of catalysts, even when the catalyst was derived from a chiral salen ligand. However, it was shown that if enantiomerically pure styrene oxide was used as substrate, then enantiomerically pure styrene carbonate was formed. On the basis of the kinetic and other experimental data, a catalytic cycle that explains why the bimetallic complexes display such high catalytic activity has been developed. [source]


One-Pot Thioetherification of Aryl Halides Using Thiourea and Alkyl Bromides Catalyzed by Copper(I) Iodide Free from Foul-Smelling Thiols in Wet Polyethylene Glycol (PEG 200)

Abstract In this article, we have developed a new protocol for the thioarylation of structurally diverse alkyl bromides such as benzyl, cinnamyl, n -octyl, cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl, and tert -butyl bromides with aryl iodides, bromides and an activated chloride using thiourea catalyzed by copper(I) iodide in wet polyethylene glycol (PEG 200) as an eco-friendly medium in the presence of potassium carbonate at 80 and 100,°C under an inert atmosphere. The process is free from foul-smelling thiols which makes this method more practical for the thioetherification of aryl halides. Another important feature of this method is the variety of alkyl bromides which are commercially available for the in situ generation of thiolate ions with respect to the existing protocols in which the less commercially available thiols are directly used for the preparation of arylthio ethers.
