Preparação de N-alquil derivados do 1-bromo-2,4-dinitrobenzeno e do 1-cloro-2-nitrobenzeno: Uma alternativa às aulas práticas de substituição nucleofílica aromática

Preparation of the title compounds are described as an alternative nucleophilic aromatic substitution for practices in the graduate laboratory. The low toxicity and disponibility of the reagents make a suitable procedure approach to experiments regarding this aromatic reaction.

Influência de efluentes têxteis e alimentícios sobre o metabolismo e propriedades físicas e químicas do rio Piauitinga (Sergipe)

Metabolic rates were determined by dissolved oxigen changes in light and dark bottles, filled with river water and after input of mixed effluent concentrations. In another experiment, dissolved inorganic nutrients, chlorophyll-alpha and other physico-chemical parameters were analyzed. Water column showed higher decomposition than production rates. Waste inputs increased primary production rates, but in higher concentrations forced the system to heterotrophy. The natural richness of macrophytes and macroalgae could be limiting the phytoplanktonic production by phosphorus assimilation. Observation of the nitrogenated inorganic nutrients suggest that the natural pelagic system is directed to nitrification. Mixed waste input inverted this trend, toward denitrification.

Coiodação de alquenos com nucleófilos oxigenados: reações intermoleculares

A review on the electrophilic addition of iodine to alkenes in the presence of oxygen containing nucleophiles (cohalogenation reaction) is presented. The intermolecular reactions are discussed with emphasis in methods of reaction and synthetic applications of the resulting vicinal iodo-functionalized products (iodohydrins, beta-iodoethers and beta-iodocarboxylates).

Câncer e agentes antineoplásicos ciclo-celular específicos e ciclo-celular não específicos que interagem com o DNA: uma introdução

The chemotherapy agents against cancer may be classified as "cell cycle-specific" or "cell cycle-nonspecific". Nevertheless, several of them have their biological activity related to any kind of action on DNA such as: antimetabolic agents (DNA synthesis inhibition), inherently reactive agents (DNA alkylating electrophilic traps for macromolecular nucleophiles from DNA through inter-strand cross-linking - ISC - alkylation) and intercalating agents (drug-DNA interactions inherent to the binding made due to the agent penetration in to the minor groove of the double helix). The earliest and perhaps most extensively studied and most heavily employed clinical anticancer agents in use today are the DNA inter-strand cross-linking agents.

A relevante potencialidade dos centros básicos nitrogenados disponíveis em polímeros inorgânicos e biopolímeros na remoção catiônica

This review reports the application of inorganic and organic polymeric materials for cation removal by using nitrogenated basic centers. The data demonstrate the importance of the desired groups when free or immobilized on natural or synthesized inorganic polymers through silanol groups. Thus, the most studied silica gel is followed by natural crysotile and talc polymers, and the synthesized mesopore silicas, talc-like, silicic acids, phosphates and phyllosilicates. The organic natural biopolymeric chitin and cellulose were chemically modified to improve the availability of the amine groups or the reactivity with desirable molecules to enlarge the content of basic centers. The cation removal takes place at the solid/liquid interface and some interactive effects have their thermodynamic data determined.

Reatividade de ciclopropenonas frente a nucleófilos e sua correlação com potenciais de redução em meio aprótico

In this work we studied the reactivity of isopropylphenylcyclopropenone towards some nitrogen nucleophiles whose reactions with methylphenylcyclopropenone and diphenylcyclopropenone were previously studied. The electrochemical behavior of these cyclopropenones was evaluated for the first time, and a correlation between electrochemical parameters and reactivity of this class of compounds was done.

Aplicações sintéticas do ácido mucobrômico e da 3,4-dibromofuran-2(5H)-ona

This review describes the use of two biomass-derivate butenolides as intermediates in organic synthesis, mucobromic acid and its reduced derivative 3,4-dibromofuran-2(5H)-one. The ambiphilic and ambident character of such butenolides make them versatile starting materials in the synthesis of natural and/or bioactive compounds. Thus, the reactions of mucobromic acid with C-nucleophiles and heteronucleophiles are described, as well as the nucleophilic addition to carbonyl reactions of 3,4-dibromofuran-2(5H)-one. Besides, both compounds are active in diverse metal cross-coupling reactions, manly with palladium in Suzuki and Sonogashira reactions.

Kinetic behavior of nitrification in the post-treatment of poultry wastewater in a sequential batch reactor

A sequential batch reactor with suspended biomass and useful volume of 5 L was used in the removal of nutrients and organic matter in workbench scale under optimal conditions obtained by central composite rotational design (CCRD), with cycle time (CT) of 16 h (10.15 h, aerobic phase, and 4.35 h, anoxic phase) and carbon: nitrogen ratio (COD/NO2--N+NO3--N) equal to 6. Complete cycles (20), nitrification followed by denitrification, were evaluated to investigate the kinetic behavior of degradation of organic (COD) and nitrogenated (NH4+-N, NO2--N and NO3--N) matter present in the effluent from a bird slaughterhouse and industrial processing facility, as well as to evaluate the stability of the reactor using Shewhart control charts of individual measures. The results indicate means total inorganic nitrogen (NH4+-N+NO2- -N+NO3--N) removal of 84.32±1.59% and organic matter (COD) of 53.65±8.48% in the complete process (nitrification-denitrification) with the process under statistical control. The nitrifying activity during the aerobic phase estimated from the determination of the kinetic parameters had mean K1 and K2 values of 0.00381±0.00043 min-1 and 0.00381±0.00043 min-1, respectively. The evaluation of the kinetic behavior of the conversion of nitrogen indicated a possible reduction of CT in the anoxic phase, since removals of NO2--N and NO3--N higher than 90% were obtained with only 1 h of denitrification.
