چکیده

The existence of protonated hydroxymethylamines of sec+ ondary amines, RzNHCHtOH, in equilibrium with hydroxymethylamines and protonated amines, has been demonstrated by titration at equilibrium and by rapid titration of the protonated hydroxymethylamines. Analogous compounds, . R3NCHeOH, are formed from formaldehyde and the sterically favorable tertiary amines: pyridine, iv-methylimidazole, and triethylenediamine. The equilibrium constants for the formation of these cationic hydroxymethylamines are two to three orders of magnitude less favorable than for the formation of neutral hydroxymethylamines; conversely, the basicity of hydroxymethylamines is two to three orders of magnitude less than that of the parent amines. These differences are ascribed primarily to solvation and polar effects. Protonation of the dihydroxymethyl adducts of primary amines was not detected. An analysis of the complex equilibria for the addition of protons and hydroxymethyl groups to imidazole suggests that protonation and hydroxymethylation do not occur on the same nitrogen atom. The equilibrium constant

Thermodynamics of CO2 reaction with methylamine in aqueous solution: A computational study

Separation and capture of carbon dioxide from the flue gas of power plants in order to reduceenvironmental damages has always been of interest to researchers. In this study, aqueous solution ofmethylamine was used as an absorbent for CO2 capture. In order to study this reaction, DensityFunctional Theory (DFT) was employed at the level of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) by using theconductor-like polarizabl...

The effect of formaldehyde on the hydrogen ion dissociation curve of egg albumin.

IT is well known that the cations of many nitrogenous bases which cannot be directly titrated with alkali in aqueous solution submit to titration in the presence ofa suitable concentration offormaldehyde. This is true of certain ofthe cationic groups in the proteins and their hydrolytic products. In the case of the natural amino-acids and their peptides, the various cationic groups which may oc...

Sorption Study of Acid Blue in Aqueous Solution by Synthetic Poly Urea-Formaldehyde

Poly urea-formaldehyde was synthesized simply and rapidly from urea and formaldehyde by condensation polymerization and studied for the sorption of trace acid blue from aqueous solution. The optimum pH value for sorption of the acid blue was 4. Experimental results showed that the sorption capacity of poly urea-formaldehyde for acid blue was determined. The synthetic polymer can be reused for 5...
