A Grunwald-Winstein treatment of the specific rates of solvolysis of α-bromoisobutyrophenone in 100% methanol and in several aqueous ethanol, methanol, acetone, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) mixtures gives a good logarithmic correlation against a linear combination of (solvent nucleophilicity) and (solvent ionizing power) values. The and sensitivity values are compared to those previously reported for α-bromoacetophenone and to those obtained from parallel treatments of literature specific rate values for the solvolyses of several tertiary mesylates containing a C(=O)R group attached at the α-carbon. Kinetic data obtained earlier by Pasto and Sevenair for the solvolyses of the same substrate in 75% aqueous ethanol (by weight) in the presence of silver perchlorate and perchloric acid are analyzed using multiple regression analysis.

In this work, a plasma-assisted solvolysis method is proposed as an alternative method for the oxidative degradation of carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFRCs). Nitrogen plasma ignition within bubbles in a concentrated nitric acid solution is employed, combining the synergistic effects of traditional nitric acid solvolysis and plasma chemistry. A comprehensive process flowchart, including steps such as composite pretreatment, matrix dissolution, fiber recovery and cleaning, solvent regeneration and reuse, and waste treatment, is also discussed, highlighting their importance in process effectiveness.

Article Synopsis
  • Trifluoroborate boronophenylalanine (BBPA) is a modified version of boronophenylalanine (BPA) used for advanced tumor imaging and therapy.
  • Clinical studies reveal that 18F-labeled BBPA ([18F]BBPA) provides clear images for PET scans and serves as a theranostic agent for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).
  • The research demonstrates that BBPA can increase boron concentration in tumors while maintaining consistent PET imaging across various doses, making it a promising tool for improving the accuracy of BNCT.

Chemically Recyclable and Biodegradable Vulcanized Rubber.

ACS Sustain Chem Eng

April 2024

Chair of Chemical Materials Science, Department of Chemistry, University of Konstanz, Universitätsstraße 10, 78464 Konstanz, Germany.

The cross-linked nature of vulcanized rubbers as used in tire and many other applications prohibits an effective closed-loop mechanical or chemical recycling. Moreover, vulcanization significantly retards the material's biodegradation. Here, we report a recyclable and biodegradable rubber that is generated by the vulcanization of amorphous, unsaturated polyesters.

Solvolysis of 2'-deoxyribonucleosides and oligo-2'-deoxyribonucleotides in aqueous pyrrolidine or ammonia solutions.

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids

Centro de Investigación en Ciencia Aplicada y Tecnología Avanzada, Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Querétaro, Mexico.

To assess the feasibility of high-temperature aminolysis of deoxyribooligonucleotides containing rare bases as a method to determine their base sequence, the 2'-βD-deoxyribosides of 5-bromouracil, 2-aminopurine, uracil, adenine, cytosine, 5-methylcytosine, hypoxanthine, N-methyladenine, N-ethylcytosine, and guanine were compared as to their rate of degradation in 0.5 M aqueous pyrrolidine at 110 °C, conditions used earlier in the analysis of oligonucleotides containing only the canonical bases. The reaction mixtures were analyzed by chromatography on Zorbax XDB-CN and UV absorption spectroscopy.

Strong light-matter coupling offers a unique way to control chemical reactions at the molecular level. Here, we compare the solvent effect on an ester solvolysis process under cooperative vibrational strong coupling (VSC). Three reactants, para-nitrophenylacetate, 3-methyl-para-nitrophenylbenzoate, and bis-(2, 4-dinitrophenyl) oxalate are chosen to study the effect of VSC on the solvolysis reaction rates.
