    Free radicals, antioxidants, and soil organic matter recalcitrance

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE, Issue 2 2006
    D. L. Rimmer
    Summary Highly reactive, and potentially damaging, free radicals are readily generated in our oxygen-rich environment, and are ubiquitous in biological systems. However, plants and animals have evolved protection against them with a range of antioxidant molecules, such as vitamins C and E, many of which are phenolic compounds. These stop the destructive chain reaction of free radical formation by being transformed into unreactive, stable free radicals. The biodegradation of food involves oxidation by free radicals, and is retarded by antioxidants. Similarly, the biodegradation of plant residues in soils involves free radicals; so the questions arise: (i) do soils have antioxidants, and (ii) what function might they have? The evidence suggests that they probably do have antioxidants. First, plant and animal remains added to soils will contain antioxidants. These are likely to persist for a time, particularly tannins, which are polyphenolic compounds with known antioxidant properties and which are relatively resistant to degradation. Second, studies using electron spin resonance spectroscopy have shown that humic materials contain stable semiquinone free radicals, and that their concentration increases as humification progresses. These semiquinone species are most likely to be derived from the reaction of phenolic compounds with reactive radicals. If this is the case, the phenolics are acting as antioxidants, because they are scavenging the reactive free radicals and terminating the oxidative chain reaction responsible for soil organic matter (SOM) degradation. Thus the soil's antioxidant capacity could control the rate of breakdown of organic matter in the more labile pools and could provide a chemical mechanism for the recalcitrance of SOM. Current available evidence for the nature of the recalcitrant pool in SOM is discussed in the light of this hypothesis, and the experimental approaches necessary for testing it are outlined.

    Development of Pharmaceutical Drugs, Drug Intermediates and Ingredients by Using Direct Organo-Click Reactions

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 6 2008
    Dhevalapally B. Ramachary
    Abstract Here we report on our studies of the use of combinations of amino acids, amines, K2CO3 or Cs2CO3 and CuSO4/Cu for catalysing green cascade reactions. We aimed to prepare the highly reactive and substituted olefin species 7 and 8, under very mild and environmentally friendly conditions, thus giving the hydrogenated products 10 and 12 through the action of Hantzsch ester (4) by self-catalysis through decreasing the HOMO,LUMO energy gaps between olefins 7/8 and Hantzsch ester (4) through biomimetic reductions. Highly useful compounds 10 to 14 were assembled from simple substrates such as aldehydes 1, ketones 2, CH acids 3, Hantzsch ester (4) and alkyl halides 5 by diversity-oriented green synthesis involving cascade olefination/hydrogenation (O/H), olefination/hydrogenation/alkylation (O/H/A) and hydrogenation/olefination/hydrogenation (H/O/H) reaction sequences in one-pot fashion with stereospecific organo- and organo-/metal-carbonate catalysis. Highly functionalized diverse compounds such as 10 to 14 are biologically active products and have found wide applications as pharmaceutical drugs, drug intermediates and drug ingredients. For the first time in organocatalysis, we report the O/H/A/TE reaction to furnish high yields of transesterification products 11 by simply mixing the reactants under proline/K2CO3 catalysis conditions. Additionally, a novel organocatalytic H/O/H reaction sequence for the synthesis of alkyl-substituted aromatics has been developed. Furthermore, for the first time we have developed organocatalysed cascade olefination/hydrogenation/hydrolysis (O/H/H) reactions to furnish highly useful materials such as 2-oxochroman-3-carboxylic acid (14kc) and 2-amino-4H -chromene-3-carbonitrile (14kj) in good yields. Experimentally simple and environmentally friendly organocatalytic two-carbon homologation through cascade O/H/H reactions of aldehydes 1, Meldrum's acid (3c), Hantzsch ester (4) and acetic acid/triethylamine in ethanol has been demonstrated. Additionally, we have developed a green synthesis of the highly substituted 1,2,3-triazole 17 from simple substrates through a two-step combination of olefination/hydrogenation/alkylation and Huisgen cycloaddition reaction sequences under stereospecific organocopper catalysis conditions. In this paper we have found strong support for our hypothesis that, "decreasing the HOMO,LUMO energy gap between olefins 7/8 and Hantzsch ester (4) will drive the biomimetic hydrogenation reaction by self-catalysis". This self-catalysis was further confirmed with many varieties of examples.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008) [source]


    Organic and aqueous compatible polystyrene,maleic anhydride copolymer ultra-fine fibrous membranes

    JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 2 2009
    Corine Cécile
    Abstract Polystyrene,maleic anhydride copolymer (PSMA, Mv= 700 kDa) was synthesized and efficiently processed into 400 to 600 nm diameter fibers via electrospinning from either 20 wt % dimethylformamide or 25 wt % dimethylsulfoxide solution. Crosslinking of PSMA was effective by adding glycerol and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) (Mw = 31,50 kDa) in the dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide solutions, respectively. The PSMA fibers containing glycerol at 29.4 mol% were auto-crosslinked whereas those with 12.9 mol% (2 wt %) glycerol and 15.4 mol% (0.75 wt %) PVA required heating to induce intermolecular esterification. Heat-induced crosslinking with glycerol was more effective in rendering the PSMA fibrous membranes insoluble in all solvents whereas that with PVA remained soluble in most solvents except for acetone and tetrahydrofuran. The crosslinked fibrous membranes had improved thermally stability and retained physical integrity upon exposure (2 hr at 40°C) to carbon disulfide, the solvent for Friedel-Craft reactions of the styrene moiety. Hydrolysis (0.01N NaOH) of the auto-crosslinked fibrous membrane significantly improved its hydrophilicity by reducing the water contact angles from 90.6° to 62.5° in a matter of seconds. These ultra-high specific surface PSMA fibrous membranes have shown superior organic and aqueous solvent compatibility to be used as highly reactive and easily retrievable supports for solid-phase synthesis. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Painting and Printing Living Bacteria: Engineering Nanoporous Biocatalytic Coatings to Preserve Microbial Viability and Intensify Reactivity

    BIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRESS, Issue 1 2007
    Michael C. Flickinger
    Latex biocatalytic coatings containing ,50% by volume of microorganisms stabilize, concentrate and preserve cell viability on surfaces at ambient temperature. Coatings can be formed on a variety of surfaces, delaminated to generate stand-alone membranes or formulated as reactive inks for piezoelectric deposition of viable microbes. As the latex emulsion dries, cell preservation by partial desiccation occurs simultaneously with the formation of pores and adhesion to the substrate. The result is living cells permanently entrapped, surrounded by nanopores generated by partially coalesced polymer particles. Nanoporosity is essential for preserving microbial viability and coating reactivity. Cryo-SEM methods have been developed to visualize hydrated coating microstructure, confocal microscopy and dispersible coating methods have been developed to quantify the activity of the entrapped cells, and FTIR methods are being developed to determine the structure of vitrified biomolecules within and surrounding the cells in dry coatings. Coating microstructure, stability and reactivity are investigated using small patch or strip coatings where bacteria are concentrated 102 - to 103 -fold in 5,75 ,m thick layers with pores formed by carbohydrate porogens. The carbohydrate porogens also function as osmoprotectants and are postulated to preserve microbial viability by formation of glasses inside the microbes during coat drying; however, the molecular mechanism of cell preservation by latex coatings is not known. Emerging applications include coatings for multistep oxidations, photoreactive coatings, stabilization of hyperthermophiles, environmental biosensors, microbial fuel cells, as reaction zones in microfluidic devices, or as very high intensity (>100 g·L -1 coating volume·h -1) industrial or environmental biocatalysts. We anticipate expanded use of nanoporous adhesive coatings for prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell preservation at ambient temperature and the design of highly reactive "living" paints and inks.

    Chemistry and Reaction of Singlet Oxygen in Foods

    COMPREHENSIVE REVIEWS IN FOOD SCIENCE AND FOOD SAFETY, Issue 2 2002
    D. B. Min
    ABSTRACT Singlet oxygen is a highly reactive, electrophilic, and nonradical molecule. It is different from diradical triplet oxygen in its electron arrangement. Photosensitizers can form singlet oxygen from triplet oxygen in the presence of light. The reaction rate of singlet oxygen with foods is much greater than that of triplet oxygen due to the low activation energy. Singlet oxygen oxidation produces undesirable compounds in foods during processing and storage. However, carotenoids and tocopherols in foods can minimize singlet oxygen oxidation. The in-depth scientific knowledge on the formation, reactions, quenching mechanisms, and kinetics of singlet oxygen can greatly improve the quality of foods by minimizing the oxidation during processing and storage. The single oxygen oxidation of foods has contributed to the explanation of several important chemical reactions in the reversion flavor in soybean oil, sunlight flavor in milk products, and the rapid losses of vitamin D, riboflavin, and ascorbic acid in milk under light storage.
