MNDO calculations have been employed to study the effect of some substituents of the acetaldemine-vinylamine tautomeric system at the imine-carbon position of CH3CXNH, where X = H, F, CN, NH2, NO2, BH2, CH3 and CF3. It is found that the substitutents F, NH2 and NO2 encourage the formation of the enamine tautomer. The substitutents CN, CH3, CF3 and BH2 encourage the formation of the imine tautomer. Isodesmic reactions, free energy change (ΔG), charge distribution and energy gap (Eg) between HOMO and LUMO were used to prove these findings. Resonance stabilization was a major factor in the determination of the most stable tautomer. These results were compared with previous work on the substitution at the σ -carbon position.

Water-soluble fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method using citric acid as the carbon source and ethylenediamine as the nitrogen source. The repeated and scale-up synthetic experiments were carried out to explore the feasibility of macroscopic preparation of CDs. The CDs/Fe3+ composite was prepared by the interaction of the CDs solution and Fe3+ solution. The optical properties, pH dependence and stability behavior of CDs or the CDs/Fe3+ composite were studied by ultraviolet spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Following the principles of fluorescence quenching after the addition of Fe3+ and then the fluorescence recovery after the addition of asorbic acid, the fluorescence intensity of the carbon dots was measured at λex = 360 nm, λem = 460 nm. The content of ascorbic acid was calculated by quantitative analysis of the changing fluorescence intensity. The CDs/Fe3+ composite was applied to the determination of different active molecules, and it was found that the composite had specific recognition of ascorbic acid and showed an excellent linear relationship in 5.0–350.0 μmol·L−1. Moreover, the detection limit was 3.11 μmol·L−1. Satisfactory results were achieved when the method was applied to the ascorbic acid determination in jujube fruit. The fluorescent carbon dots composites prepared in this study may have broad application prospects in a rapid, sensitive and trace determination of ascorbic acid content during food processing.
