Anion exchange acidic compounds

Strong"Base. Strong base anion-exchange resins have quaternary ammonium groups, - NR OH , where R is usually CH, as the functional exchange sites (see Quaternary ammonium compounds). These resins are used most frequentiy in the hydroxide form for acidity reduction. 

These reversible reactions are cataly2ed by bases or acids, such as 2iac chloride and aluminum isopropoxide, or by anion-exchange resias. Ultrasonic vibrations improve the reaction rate and yield. Reaction of aromatic aldehydes or ketones with nitroparaffins yields either the nitro alcohol or the nitro olefin, depending on the catalyst. Conjugated unsaturated aldehydes or ketones and nitroparaffins (Michael addition) yield nitro-substituted carbonyl compounds rather than nitro alcohols. Condensation with keto esters gives the substituted nitro alcohols (37) keto aldehydes react preferentially at the aldehyde function. 

Class (2) reactions are performed in the presence of dilute to concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide, powdered potassium hydroxide, or, at elevated temperatures, soHd potassium carbonate, depending on the acidity of the substrate. Alkylations are possible in the presence of concentrated NaOH and a PT catalyst for substrates with conventional pX values up to - 23. This includes many C—H acidic compounds such as fiuorene, phenylacetylene, simple ketones, phenylacetonittile. Furthermore, alkylations of N—H, O—H, S—H, and P—H bonds, and ambident anions are weU known. Other basic phase-transfer reactions are hydrolyses, saponifications, isomerizations, H/D exchange, Michael-type additions, aldol, Darzens, and similar... 

In another example, a multiresidue method using HPLC/ESI-MS was developed to determine six imidazolinone herbicides in five different soil types. Good recoveries (80-120%) and adequate sensitivity at the 2.0 ngg level were obtained for the compounds investigated. In the method, a 50-g soil sample was extracted for 1 h in 0.5N NaOH solution. A portion of the extract was acidified, to precipitate the humic acids, and the supernatant was then loaded on to a preconditioned trifunctional Cig SPE cartridge and eluted with ethyl acetate. Further cleanup was achieved using a tandem strong anion-exchange (SAX)-SCX SPE combination. Analytes were eluted... 

Figure 11.4 Analysis of in vitro synthesized RNAs. 32P-Radiolabeled RNAs (48 nucleotides) capped with m7Gp3G (A and C) or m27,3 °Gp3G (B and D) were digested with either RNase T2 (A and C) or RNase T2 plus tobacco acid pyrophosphatase (TAP) (B and D) followed by anion-exchange HPLC on a Partisil 10SAX/25 column as described in the text. Fractions of 1 ml were collected, and the Cerenkov radiation was determined. The elution times of the following standard compounds, detected by ultraviolet (UV) absorption, are indicated with arrows 3,-CMP (Cp), S UMP (Up), 37-AMP (Ap), 3 -GMP (Gp), 3, 5 -m7GDP (pm7Gp), 3, 5 -GDP (pGp), 5 -GDP (p2G), 5 -GTP (p3G), and guanosine-SCtetraphosphate (P4G).

Many pesticides degrade to polar products that form organic anions in a water matrix. These are sometimes missed due to the difficulty in extracting trace amounts of the ionic material from a water matrix. A recently developed anion exchange procedure for isolating acidic compounds from dilute aqueous solutions (10-12) was used for recovering the anionic material from liquid samples collected from the two pits. 

Elemental composition P 38.73%, H 1.26%, O 60.01%. The compound may be identified by physical properties alone. It may be distinguished from ortho and pyrophosphates by its reaction with a neutral silver nitrate solution. Metaphosphate forms a white crystalline precipitate with AgNOs, while P04 produces a yellow precipitate and P20 yields a white gelatinous precipitate. Alternatively, metaphosphate solution acidified with acetic acid forms a white precipitate when treated with a solution of albumen. The other two phosphate ions do not respond to this test. A cold dilute aqueous solution may be analyzed for HPO3 by ion chromatography using a styrene divinylbenzene-based low-capacity anion-exchange resin. 

Radioactivity of uranium can be measured by alpha counters. The metal is digested in nitric acid. Alpha activity is measured by a counting instrument, such as an alpha scintillation counter or gas-flow proportional counter. Uranium may be separated from the other radioactive substances by radiochemical methods. The metal or its compound(s) is first dissolved. Uranium is coprecipitated with ferric hydroxide. Precipitate is dissolved in an acid and the solution passed through an anion exchange column. Uranium is eluted with dilute hydrochloric acid. The solution is evaporated to near dryness. Uranium is converted to its nitrate and alpha activity is counted. Alternatively, uranium is separated and electrodeposited onto a stainless steel disk and alpha particles counted by alpha pulse height analysis using a silicon surface barrier detector, a semiconductor particle-type detector.
