Nitro group, analysis

Benzoic acid derivatives often contain amino, hydroxy, carboxy, and nitro groups. Analysis of substimted benzoic acids by thin layer chromatography was performed on silica gel, polyamide, and cellulose containing UF254 fluorescent indicator. For the mobile phase, different mixtures were used hexane-acetic acid hexane-ethyl acetate-formic acid chloroform-methanol-phosphoric acid cyclohexane-acetic acid benzene-ethanol etc. Because benzoic acid derivatives have similar retention parameters, their separation requires a thorough optimization of conditions (the nature of the stationary phase, the composition of the mobile phase, and the pH of the solutions).

Controlled-potential coulometry also can be applied to the quantitative analysis of organic compounds, although the number of applications is significantly less than that for inorganic analytes. One example is the six-electron reduction of a nitro group, -NO2, to a primary amine, -NH2, at a mercury electrode. Solutions of picric acid, for instance, can be analyzed by reducing to triaminophenol. 

The nitro group is of high importance in organic chemistry, in particular in aromatic compounds because of its strong electron acceptor capacity. In accordance with this property, the nitro group has low-lying occupied and unoccupied orbitals, and the characteristic IPs of nitro compounds are usually found higher than 10 eV, which may lead to problems in the analysis of PE spectra. 

Some further light on the behaviour of the nitro group as an orf/ o-subsliUicnl in affecting the strength of benzoic acid can be obtained by correlation analysis employing the extended Hammett equation (Section n.B) in the form of equation 14 ... 

However, there are some cases when an unpaired electron is localized not on the n, but on the o orbital of an anion-radical. Of course, in such a case, a simple molecular orbital consideration that is based on the n approach does not coincide with experimental data. Chlorobenzothiadiazole may serve as a representative example (Gul maliev et al. 1975). Although the thiadiazole ring is a weaker acceptor than the nitro group, the elimination of the chloride ion from the 5-chlorobenzothiadiazole anion-radical does not take place (Solodovnikov and Todres 1968). At the same time, the anion-radical of 7-chloroquinoline readily loses the chlorine anion (Fujinaga et al. 1968). Notably, 7-chloroquinoline is very close to 5-chlorobenzothiadiazole in the sense of structure and electrophilicity of the heterocycle. To explain the mentioned difference, calculations are needed to clearly take into account the o electron framework of the molecules compared. It would also be interesting to exploit the concept of an increased valency in the consideration of anion-radical electronic structures, especially of those anion-radicals that contain atoms (fragments) with available d orbitals. This concept is traditionally derived from valence-shell expansion through the use of d orbital, but it is also understandable in terms of simple (and cheaper for calculations) MO theory, without t(-orbital participation. For a comparative analysis refer the paper by ElSolhy et al. (2005). Solvation of intermediary states on the way to a final product should be involved in the calculations as well (Parker 1981). 

Bromonitromethanes are substantially increased in formation with the use of pre-ozonation before chlorine or chloramine treatment, and concentrations up to 3 pg/L individually have been reported [11,12]. Laboratory-scale formation studies indicate that nitrite may play a role in the formation of the nitro group in these DBFs [40]. Tribromonitromethane (bromopicrin) and other trihalonitromethanes (which include bromodichloro- and chlorodibromonitromethane) require particular analytical conditions for their analysis. These compounds are thermally unstable and decompose under commonly used injection port temperatures during gas chromatography (GC) or GC/mass spectrometry (MS) analysis [41]. 

A large steric interaction between the bridging methylene and nitro group of the o-complex has been suggested to account for decreased a-reactivity the fused-ortho effect , though analysis of the sterics in bicycloannelated derivatives show this is unlikely (Section 2.1). For discussion of the fused-ort/io effect , see ref. 34a,b. 

The IR spectra are useful for detecting functional groups of Aristolochia alkaloids. Aristolochic acids show two characteristic bands at 1550 and 1350 cm due to the absorption of nitro group, and the carboxy OH group appears at 3000-2500 cm as a broad continuous absorption. Hydroxy derivatives of aristolochic acids or aristolactams show OH and NH absorptions at 3300-3500 and 3200-3400 cm The carboxy or lactam carbonyl is present at 1690 cm i. In general, the aromatic ring system shows stretches at 1625-1575 and 1525-1475 cm 1 as usual, and observation of the 900-700 cm region is often used for analysis of substitution type in aromatic derivatives 28). 

Trudell and co-workers reported the N-arylation with 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine of [l,2,3]triazolines fused onto [4,5-dpyridazine (Scheme 5) and [4,5-,yjpyrimidine (Scheme 6) <2000JHC1597>. Substitution at the 2-position of the pyridine ring was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis of products 8 and 9. Similarly, [l,2,3]triazolo[4,5-,yjpyrimidine gave 10 in low yield, after nucleophilic substitution of the chloro substituent activated by the nitro group in 2-chloronitrobenzene (Scheme 6).
