Decomposition mechanisms of trinitroalkyl compounds: a theoretical study from aliphatic to aromatic nitro compounds.
The chemical mechanisms involved in the decomposition of trinitroethyl compounds were studied for both aliphatic and aromatic derivatives using density functional theory calculations. At first, in the case of 1,1,1-trinitrobutane, used as a reference molecule, two primary channels were highlighted among the five investigated ones: the breaking of the C-N bond and the HONO elimination. Then, the...
متن کاملPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitro-PAHs and related environmental compounds: biological markers of exposure and effects.
Lung cancer caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitro-PAHs and related environmental agents is a major problem in industrialized nations. The high case-fatality rate of the disease, even with the best supportive treatment, underscores the importance of primary lung cancer prevention. Development of biomarkers of exposure and effects to PAHs and related compounds is now underway a...
متن کاملOne-pot efficient reductive acetylation of aromatic nitro compounds
An efficient one-pot reductive acetylation of aromatic nitro compounds is developed without isolating the intermediate amine. The nitro compound is efficiently reduced by sodium borohydride and catalytic amount of Pd-C in MeOH-water media in presence / absence of alkali, and the amine thus generated is acetylated by acetic anhydride in situ in excellent yields through easy work-up. The techniqu...
متن کاملBiotransformation of Nitro Aromatic Compounds by Flavin-Free NADH-Azoreductase
Nitro aromatic compounds are the potential toxic organic pollutant released into the environment and are often resistant to degradation under normal environmental conditions. The biotransformation and/or detoxification of these compounds can be possible by microbial azoreductase enzyme. Azoreductase enzyme has an ability to reduce the toxic nitro group to corresponding amino group. In present r...
متن کامل[Reduction of aromatic nitro compounds in the intestine].
An ortho-nitrophenol solution was injected into the intestine which had been removed from an anesthetized mouse by placing a ligature at the duodenum and at the rectum. The intestine was then incubated in Ringer's solution at 37•Ž and the ortho-nitrophenol was found to be reduced to ortho aminophenol. At the same time, it was found that ortho-nitrophenol which was incubated with the intestinal ...
