The replacement of a carboxylic acid with a surrogate structure, or (bio)-isostere, is a classical strategy in medicinal chemistry. The general underlying principle is that by maintaining the features of the carboxylic acid critical for biological activity, but appropriately modifying the physicochemical properties, improved analogs may result. In this context, a systematic assessment of the ph...

A new non-fluorinated malonamide-based ionic liquid extractant was synthesized and investigated for the extraction behavior of europium(III) and other trivalent rare-earth ions from nitric acid medium. The extractant was the functionalized ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium N,N,N',N'-tetra(2-ethylhexyl)malonate, [P66614][MA], and it was used in combination with the non-fluorinated ion...

Reaction of aryl methyl ketone with isatin in the presence of a base afforded 2- arylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid (3). Reaction of diazomethane with compound 3 yielded the ester 4. Compound 5 was prepared from the reaction of N, N'-dialkylethyl (or propyl) arnine with 4. Addition of hydrazine hydrate to compound 4a gave 2- (2- pyridyl) quinoline-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide (6). Reaction of l...

The extraction behavior of neodymium and other rare earths from nitric acid media by the functionalized ionic liquid trioctylmethylammonium dioctyl diglycolamate, [A336][DGA], was investigated. The nonfluorinated ionic liquid trioctylmethylammonium nitrate, [A336][NO3], was used as diluent. The extraction behavior of neodymium(III) in this ionic liquid solution was carried out as a function of ...

Carboxylic acid derivatives are the most widely occurring of all molecules, both in laboratory chemistry and in biological pathways. Specifically, acid derivatives are compounds in which the hydroxyl group of the carboxylic acid has been replaced by another acyl substituent that can act as a leaving group in nucleophilic acyl substitutions. These compounds can be acid halides, acid anhydrides, ...

the treatment equimolar quantities of carboxylic acids with acid chlorides in the presence of zno brings abouthighly efficient unsymmetrical anhydrides at room temperature in solvent-free condition. reactivity trendsfavored formation of the product using both electron deficient and rich aryl acids and acid chlorides.

The liquid-liquid extraction of zirconium(IV) from acidic chloride solutions was carried out with Cyanex 272 as an extractant diluted in kerosene. An increase of the acid concentration decreased the percentage extraction of metal, which indicates that the extraction follows ion exchange-type mechanism: MO2+(aq) + 2(HA)2(org) <--> MO (HA2)2(org) + 2H+(aq), where, M = Zr(IV); HA = Cyanex 272. The...

Solvent extraction system is one of the effective techniques used for separation of metal cations from aqueous solutions [1-8]. It is a suitable method for preventing and protecting environment from pollution. The extraction of copper(II) using carboxylic acids has been a subject of much work research [9-13]. Lauric acid was employed as an extractant for the separation of numerous cations, the ...
