Acids in buffers

Reduction Experiments. NEO (100-1000 pmole) was reacted with an excess (10-1000 equivalents) of sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride or Zn/acid in buffer at pH 8-10, 3-7 or 2-5 respectively. The borohydride and cyanoborohydride reductions were performed with and without added diglyme for 2-40 hours. The Zn was used with hydrochloric, acetic, phthalic or citric acid with...

A3 -Butenolides.1 5-Alkyl-2-trimethylsilylfuranes (1), readily obtained as shown,2 are oxidized in moderate to high yield to /l3-butenolides by 40% peracetic acid in buffered CH2C12. The oxidation probably proceeds through a and b. The trimethylsilyl group is essential for this oxidation.

According to the structure of the rest R, one distinguishes between acidic , neutral , and basic amino acids. In buffer solutions of low pH the equilibrium is shifted to the right-hand side. 

The possibility of nonenzymatic esterification of free fatty acid by the hydroxylated metabolite was ruled out by two experiments (a) hydroxylated metabolites were Incubated with washed microsomes with no added cofactors, and (b) hydroxylated metabolites were Incubated with different concentrations of fatty acid in buffer without microsomes. In both cases, no detectable fatty acid conjugated metabolites were found by TLC analyses ( 6).

In the aforementioned work, ligands are attached covalently to a polymer. An interesting non-covalent attachment was reported early on by Wilson and Whitesides [15]. An achiral phosphine ligand linked to a biotin unit (Structure 6) interacted specifically with the protein avidin in aqueous solution to impose stereoselectivity in catalytic hydrogenation. In the rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation of a-acetamidoacrylic acid in buffered aqueous solution, ee values of up to 40% were observed at TONs of 500 in a 48 h mn. Catalyst recovery was not a motivation for this work, but during workup the catalyst was separated from the low molecular weight products by ultrafiltration.

As can easily be seen, the a values are indeed suitable for this. If, nevertheless, one wants to use k values, then problematical compounds are best suited for this, e.g., polar analytes in tmbuffered eluents (e.g., k Cos, caffeine) or strong acids in buffered eluents (k Phs, phthalic add and k Tes, terephthalic acid).

So far only diffusion waves for the reduction of undissociated molecules or anions have been observed on polarograms for o/-halo-gen-substituted carboxylic acids, and it has not been possible to observe a kinetic wave limited by the protonation rate of the anions [63, 64]. With o -bromopalmitic acid in buffered aqueous ethanolic solutions, however, there is a kinetic wave with a clearly defined surface character [44], and its height falls with increase in the pH value of the medium (Fig. 10).
