Phenolics Analysis

In this protocol, polyphenolics are fractionated into neutral and acidic fractions to prevent interference among polyphenolics in HPLC analysis. Phenolic acids are completely ionized at pH 7.0 and un-ionized at pH 2.0. This property allows for fractionation of neutral polyphenolics at pH 7.0 and acidic polyphenolics at pH 2.0. Two individually preconditioned Cl8 cartridges, one for neutral polyphenolics and the other for acidic polyphenolics, are used for this separation (Figure 11.2.2). 

Microspectrofluorometry was employed for mapping the location of phenolic substances in maize kernels. Autofluorescence due to phenolic acids was detected mainly in the embryo, aleurone and pericarp of maize kernel cross sections. Boric acid (H3BO3) reagent enhanced the fluorescence due to flavonoids in the aleurone layer. The amides of phenolic acids required derivatization with Ehrlich s reagent (168) to reveal fluorescence in the embryo and aleurone. The localization of phenolic amines was conflrmed by HPLC analysis. Phenolic compounds are important in the resistance of maize kernels to pests. Resistant maize types showed higher intensities of phenolic fluorescence but no unusual distributions of these compounds. ...

This is an analysis frequently conducted on oil lubricants. Generally, the additive is known and its concentration can be followed by direct comparison of the oil with additive and the base stock. For example, concentrations of a few ppm of dithiophosphates or phenols are obtained with an interferometer. However, additive oils today contain a large number of products their identification or their analysis by IR spectrometry most often requires preliminary separation, either by dialysis or by liquid phase chromatography. 

Krypton clathrates have been prepared with hydroquinone and phenol. 85Kr has found recent application in chemical analysis. By imbedding the isotope in various solids, kryptonates are formed. The activity of these kryptonates is sensitive to chemical reactions at the surface. Estimates of the concentration of reactants are therefore made possible. Krypton is used in certain photographic flash lamps for high-speed photography. Uses thus far have been limited because of its high cost. Krypton gas presently costs about 30/1. 

Analysis Another lactone FGl reveals the true TM (A). Our normal discormection a of an a,p-unsaturated carbonyl compound gives us the 1,5-dicarbonyl compound (B) and the ketone (C) clearly derived from phenol.

More recently, studies of wine and beer have initiated techniques of statistically vaUd sensory analysis. Scientific studies involving wine continue in these areas, building on past discoveries. Natural phenols as desirable dietary components and monitors of storage and aging reactions are currently active fields. Viticultural research, as well as enological, continues to improve grapes and the wines made from them (11). 

Although acetyl chloride is a convenient reagent for deterrnination of hydroxyl groups, spectroscopic methods have largely replaced this appHcation in organic chemical analysis. Acetyl chloride does form derivatives of phenols, uncompHcated by the presence of strong acid catalysts, however, and it finds some use in acetylating primary and secondary amines. 

Gas chromatography (gc) has been used extensively to analyze phenoHc resins for unreacted phenol monomer as weU as certain two- and three-ring constituents in both novolak and resole resins (61). It is also used in monitoring the production processes of the monomers, eg, when phenol is alkylated with isobutylene to produce butylphenol. Usually, the phenoHc hydroxyl must be derivatized before analysis to provide a more volatile compound. The gc analysis of complex systems, such as resoles, provides distinct resolution of over 20 one- and two-ring compounds having various degrees of methylolation. In some cases, hemiformals may be detected if they have been properly capped (53). 

Bromine is used as an analytical reagent to determine the amount of unsaturation in organic compounds because carbon—carbon double bonds add bromine quantitatively, and for phenols which add bromine in the ortho and para positions. Standard bromine is added in excess and the amount unreacted is deterrnined by an indirect iodine titration. Bromine is also used to oxidize several elements, such as T1(I) to T1(III). Excess bromine is removed by adding phenol. Bromine plus an acid, such as nitric and/or hydrochloric, provides an oxidizing acid mixture usefiil in dissolving metal or mineral samples prior to analysis for sulfur. 

An azo coupling reaction of monatomic phenols with diazotized 4-nitroaniline has been investigated. By HPLC, NMR, elemental analysis, UV and IR spectroscopy it has been shown that the azo derivatives of o-guaiacol, o- and m-cresols interact with an excess of diazonium in pH interval of 4,5-9,5 and form corresponding 4,4-di(4-nitrophenylazo)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1 -ones. 

The procedure of simultaneous extracting-spectrophotometric determination of nitrophenols in wastewater is proposed on the example of the analysis of mixtures of mono-, di-, and trinitrophenols. The procedure consists of extraction concentrating in an acid medium, and sequential back-extractions under various pH. Such procedures give possibility for isolation o-, m-, p-nitrophenols, a-, P-, y-dinitrophenols and trinitrophenol in separate groups. Simultaneous determination is carried out by summary light-absorption of nitrophenol-ions. The error of determination concentrations on maximum contaminant level in natural waters doesn t exceed 10%. The peculiarities of application of the sequential extractions under fixed pH were studied on the example of mixture of simplest phenols (phenol, o-, m-, />-cresols). The procedure of their determination is based on the extraction to carbon tetrachloride, subsequent back-extraction and spectrophotometric measurement of interaction products with diazo-p-nitroaniline.

Phenols hold an important place among organic pollutants, which need to be constantly monitored in waters and in places of militai y activities. Sampling of phenol matrix is conducted with solid face extragents (SPE) with further HPLC or GC analysis. Application of the known SPE usually is ineffective as it doesn t give the possibility to provide full extraction of the analyt (microcontents) in the matrix media. Therefore SPE application needs further progress in their selectivity. 

Eor the selective pre-concentration of deactivated phenols a new silica-based material with the grafted 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazole was proposed. This method is based on the formation of molecular chai ge-transfer comlexes of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazole (7t-acceptor) with picric acid (7t-donor) in the phase of the sorbent. Proposed SPE is suitable for HPEC analysis of nitrophenols after their desorption by acetonitrile. Test-system for visual monitoring of polynitrophenols under their maximum concentration limits was developed using the proposed adsorbent. 

The express method of phenolic compounds determination was designed. It is based on heterogeneous azo-coupling reaction of phenols, which different extracts of fresh raw material contain, with aryldiazonium salts grafted on the silica surface. We can carry out phenols analysis on-site, as formation of immobilized azocompounds leads to a drastic change in the sorbent s color. Thus, we pui pose a new method, that allows to indicate herb phenols in aqueous and non-aqueous medias and to compare it with a well-known Folin-Ciocalteau method.

Interaction of formaldehyde with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in acid media causes 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (DNPhydrazone) formaldehyde formation. Gas-chromatographic analysis of 2,4-DNP-hydrazone formaldehyde toluene extract with an electron holding detector makes it possible to detect it at the level of 0,001 mg/dm. Phenol is detected in the form of tribromphenol yield, the hexane extract of which undergoes chromatography with an electron holding detector which provides the level of phenol detection of 0.001 mg/dm (the limit of quantitative detection). 

Whereas Freeman and Lewis reported the first comprehensive analysis of hydroxymethylation of phenol, they were not the last to study this system. A number of reports issued since their work have confirmed the general trends that they discovered while differing in some of the relative rates observed [80,84-99], Gardziella et al. have summarized a number of these reports ([18], pp. 29-35). In addition to providing new data under a variety of conditions, the other studies have improved on the accuracy of Freeman and Lewis, provided activation parameters, and added new methodologies for measuring product development [97-99],...
