Role of Carbonyl Compounds for N-Nitrosamine Formation during Nitrosation: Kinetics and Mechanisms

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Yishuai Pan

N-Nitrosamines are potential human carcinogens frequently detected in natural and engineered aquatic systems. This study sheds light on the role of carbonyl compounds in the formation of N-nitrosamines by nitrosation of five secondary amines via different ...

Synthesis of 3-Acyloxyindolenines by TiCl3-Mediated Reductive Cyclization of 2-(ortho-Nitroaryl)-Substituted Enol Esters

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Cyril Piemontesi, Dina Boyarskaya

In the presence of TiCl3, the reductive cyclization of tetrasubstituted enol esters bearing a 2-(ortho-nitroaryl) substituent affords 3-acyloxy-2,3-disubstituted indolenines in good yields. A domino process involving the partial reduction of nitro to a nit ...

Light-Responsive Oligothiophenes Incorporating Photochromic Torsional Switches

Kevin Sivula, Muhammad Aiman Bin Rahmanudin Hamdan, Giuseppe Sforazzini, Emilie Baudat

We present a quaterthiophene and sexithiophene that can reversibly change their effective pi-conjugation length through photoexcitation. The reported compounds make use of light-responsive molecular actuators consisting of an azobenzene attached to a bithi ...

Formation of N-nitrosamines by micelle-catalysed nitrosation of aliphatic secondary amines

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider

N-Nitrosamines are an important class of potent human carcinogens and mutagens that can be present in water and wastewater. For instance, N-nitrosamines can be formed by reaction of nitrosating agents such as NO+ or N2O3 formed from nitrite under acidic co ...

Switchable [3+2] and [4+2] Heteroannulation of Primary Propargylamines with Isonitriles to Imidazoles and 1,6-Dihydropyrimidines: Catalyst Loading Enabled Reaction Divergence

Jieping Zhu, Qian Wang, Shuo Tong

Isonitrile 1 due to its carbene-like reactivity serves generally as a one-carbon synthon in a diverse set of organic transformations. We report in this article that the isocyano group can also act as a polarized triple bond to undergo, as a two-atom syntho ...

Analysis of N-nitrosamines and other nitro(so) compounds in water by high-performance liquid chromatography with post-column UV photolysis/Griess reaction

Urs von Gunten, Minju Lee

Despite their potential carcinogenicity and probable formation during water disinfection processes, little is known about the occurrence of other nitro(so) compounds than a few specific N-nitroso compounds such as N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). An analytic ...

Insertion of Zerovalent Nickel into the N–N Bond of N-Heterocyclic-Carbene-Activated N2O

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Euro Solari, Alexander Tskhovrebov

Metal-mediated cleavage of the N–N bond is a rarely observed phenomenon in the chemistry of nitrous oxide (N2O). We demonstrate that, upon activation of N2O with N-heterocyclic carbenes, zerovalent nickel is able to insert into the N–N bond to give nitrosy ...

Enhanced N-nitrosamine formation in pool water by UV irradiation of chlorinated secondary amines in the presence of monochloramine

Urs von Gunten, Minju Lee

N-Nitrosamines, in particular N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), are carcinogens, which occur as chlorine disinfection by-products (DBPs) in swimming pools and hot tubs. UV treatment is a commonly used technique in swimming pools for disinfection and DBP atten ...

Synthetic studies toward the CD spiroketal of spongistatins

Pierre Vogel, Sandrine Gerber, Sylvain Favre

Starting from the readily available meso-methylenedi(8-oxa-3-oxobicyclo[3.2.1]hept-6-en-1-yl) (1), meso-1,1'-methylidene [(4R,4'S,6R,6'S)-4,6-dioxycyclohept-1-en-1-yl]tetrasilylethers (7, 8) were obtained and transformed into all-syn 1,3,5,11,13,15-hexahyd ...

Water-Exchange Study Revealed Unexpected Substitution Behavior of [(CO)2(NO)Re(H2O)3]2+ in Aqueous Media

André Merbach, Lothar Helm, Pascal Grundler, Marie-Line Lehaire

The pH-dependent water-exchange rates of [(CO)2(NO)Re(H2Ocis)2(H2Otrans)]2+ (1) in aq. media were investigated by means of 17O NMR spectroscopy at 298 K. Because of the low pKa value found for 1 (pKa = 1.4 ± 0.3), the water-exchange rate const. kobsH2Otran ...
