Aromatic-alcohol interaction

The CHARMm force field [20] was developed particularly for biological macromolecules, and has become a main force field for investigating biological systems. Kollman and co-workers [21,22] have fitted the benzene-cation interaction very accurately with fliree-body term force fields by including polarizability. Weaver and Donini [23] have also validated the applicability of CHARMm for benzene-cation interaction. Therefore, this study focuses on the aromatic-aliphatic, aromatic-aromatic, aromatic-amide(S), aromatic-amide(B), aromatic-thiol, aromatic-amine, and aromatic-alcohol interactions. 

As will be shown, the original CHARMm parameters can produce IPESs in good agreement with those calculated by the CP-corrected MP2 method for aromatic-aliphatic, aromatic-amide(S), and aromatic-amide(B) interactions. However, for aromatic-aromatic, aromatic-thiol, aromatic-amine, and aromatic-alcohol interactions, the original parameters cannot reproduce the IPESs which match CP-corrected MP2 results. Therefore, the Lennard-Jones parameters for the important atom pair in these four interactions were selected to be optimized. The original and optimized CHARMm Lennard-Jones parameters for these chosen atom pairs are collected in Table 1 for each of these four interactions. 

From this chromatogram, the nonpolar alkanes (shown as peaks 4,6,9, and 10), which presumably are only able to interact via dispersion interactions, are well separated with high efficiencies. Flowever, solutes such as aromatics, alcohols, and carboxylic acids are also separated with high selectivity but exhibit longer retention times with lower efficiencies. 

An interesting version of the transesterification reactions was reported by Movassaghi et al., with the amidation of unactivated esters with amino alcohols (Scheme 9.27) [73]. The amidation was explained by carbene-alcohol interactions. A nucleophilic activation of the hydroxyl group of the aminoalcohol 90 by the catalyst 11 is followed by transesterification to the ester 91 which is in-situ-converted to the amide 92 through a N —> O acyl transfer. Various aliphatic and aromatic esters with different functionalities, as well as chiral aminoalcohols, are suitable for this reaction. 

The chiral recognition mechanisms that operate on the cellulosic CSPs have been studied by Wainer and co-workers (49,50). In one study, the chiral recognition of amides on the OB CSP was examined (49), The results indicated that the solute/CSP complexes formed between the OB CSP and the amide solutes were based on attractive hydrogen bonding, ti-tt, and dipole-dipole interactions. Chiral recognition within the solute/CSP complex was due to the differential inclusion (or fit) of the solute into a chiral cavity or ravine on the CSP However, studies with aromatic alcohols... 

Davydov et al. [46] used IGC to determine several adsorption thermodynamic properties (equilibrium constants and adsorption heats) for the adsorption of organic compounds on C q crystals, and compared them with those obtained for graphitized carbon black. The adsorption potential of the surface of fiillerene crystals was much lower than that of a carbon black surface. The dispersive interaction of organic molecules with C q is much weaker than with carbon black. The adsorption equilibrium constant for alkanes and aromatic compounds is therefore lower in the case of fullerenes. Aliphatic and aromatic alcohols as well as electron-donor compounds such as ketones, nitriles and amines were adsorbed more efficiently on the surface of fiillerene crystals. This was taken as proof that fiillerene molecules have electron-donor and electron-acceptor properties, which is in agreement with the results of Abraham et al. [44]... 

It is well known that water-mediated interaction stabilizes structure of biomolecules [1, 138, 247-250]. Therefore, several model molecular systems have been chosen to probe the water-mediated interactions in biomolecules and a large amount of experimental and theoretical work has been published over the years on this subject [78, 138, 251-258]. Since phenol is the simplest aromatic alcohol resembling chromophore of an aromatic amino acid, hydration of phenol molecules has been studied to understand H-bonding and solute-solvent interaction in biological systems. Several experimental and theoretical calculations have been made on the phenol-water clusters [259-273]. Recently, we have made a comprehensive analysis on structure, stability, and H-bonding interaction in phenol (P1-4), water (W1-4), and phenol-water (PmW (w = 1-3, n = 1-3, w + n < 4)) clusters using ab initio and DFT methods [245]. In this section, electronic structure calculations combined with AIM analysis on phenol-water clusters are presented.

In CSPs, owing to the nature of the polymer structure, the simultaneous participation of several chiral sites or several polymer chains is conceivable. In CCSPs, the chiral sites are distributed on the surface or in the network of the achiral matrix relatively far away from each other, and only bimolecular interaction is generally possible with the optical antipodes. A survey of the optically active substance classes separated with Chiral plate and HPTLC Chir layers and with microcrystalline cellulose triacetate (MCTA) plates is shown in Fig. 1. Cellulose tribenzoate and tricarbamate have recently been used for the separation of enantiomeric aromatic alcohols, Troger s base, and benzoin ethyl ether.

It was described earlier that the interaction between radical anions and ketones in a partially oxidized, PCB contaminated oil, produces alcohols. It would therefore be expected that the formation of aromatic alcohols in particular would give rise to natural oxidation inhibitors. It is very likely that the effectiveness of the inhibitors formed in this way is small, relative to DBPC but, in any case, the oil should not be deleteriously affected by the treatment provided that the reclaimed oil has DBPC added to it. The oxidation stability of the processed oil should then be as good as, or possibly better than, new oil. Experimental data have shown that the oxidation stability of oils treated by the MOP system are the same as new oil by ASTM D2112.
