Abstract Three confirmatory tests have been devised to identify aflatoxin B±. Portions of the isolated toxin are treated with formic acid-thionyl chloride, acetic acid-thionyl chloride, and trifluoroacetic acid, respectively, and aliquots of the three fluorescent reaction products are spotted on thin-layer chromatography plates. Standards treated with each of the three reagents, plus an untreated standard, are spotted on the same plate, and after development the spots are compared under ultraviolet light.

Abstract. A study of the atmospheric heterogeneous reactions of formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid on dust particles (α-Al2O3) was performed at ambient condition by using a diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) reactor. From the analysis of the spectral features, observations of carboxylates formation provide strong evidence for an efficient reactive uptake process. Comparison of the calculated and experimental vibrational frequencies of adsorbed carboxylates establishes the bridging coordinated structures on the surface. The uptake coefficients of formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid on α-Al2O3 particles are (2.07±0.26)×10−3, (5.00±0.69)×10−3, and (3.04±0.63)×10−3, respectively (using geometric area). Besides, the effect of various relative humid (RH) on this heterogeneous reactions was studied. The uptake coefficients of monocarboxylic acids on α-Al2O3 particles increase initially (RH<20%) and then decrease with the increased RH (RH>20%) which was due to the effect of water on carboxylic acids solvation, particles surface hydroxylation, and competition on reactive site. On the basis of the results of experimental simulation, the mechanism of heterogeneous reaction of dust with carboxylic acids at ambient condition was discussed. The loss of atmospheric monocarboxylic acids due to reactive uptake on available mineral dust particles can be competitive with homogeneous loss pathways, especially in dusty urban and desertified environments.

3-amino-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamide (3) and 2-carbonitrile analogue 5 were prepared by reaction of 3-cyano-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethylpyridine-2(1H)-thione (1) with chloroacetamide or chloroacetonitrile respectively. Heating compound 3 with triethyl orthoformate led to the formation of pyridothienopyrimidinone derivative 6. Reaction of 6 with phosphorus oxychloride produced 4-chloropyrimidine derivative 7 which underwent some nucleophilic displacements upon treatment with thiourea, piperidine, morpholine or hydrazine hydrate to give the target 4-substituted pyridothienopyrimidines 8, 10a, 10b and 11 respectively. Reaction of compound 8 with methyl iodide or ethyl chloroacetate gave compounds 9a,b. The condensation of 3-amino-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethyl-thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carbonitrile (5) with triethyl orthoformate led to the formation of methanimidate derivative 21 which upon treatment with hydrazine hydrate gave the target 3-amino-3,4-dihydro-4-imino-7-(2-thienyl)-9-trifluoromethylpyrido[3′,2′:4,5] thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (22). The reactions of compounds 11 and 22 with some reagents namely; triethyl orthoformate, acetic anhydride, formic acid, acetic acid, acetylacetone benzaldehyde and/or diethyl malonate were carried out and their products were identified, in most cases as [1,2,4]triazolopyridothienopyrimidines via Dimroth rearrangement.

Ethyl [3-cyano-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-ylthio]acetate (2) and ethyl 3-amino-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate (3) were prepared by reaction of 3-cyano-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethylpyridine-2(1H)-thione (1) with ethyl chloroacetate. The reaction of both 2 and 3 with hydrazine hydrate under different conditions was studied. The main products were [3-cyano-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridinylthio]acetohydrazide (4) and 3-amino-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide (5). The condensation of acethydrazide 4 with some aromatic or heterocyclic aldehydes yielded the corresponding hydrazones 6a–d which underwent intramolecular Thorpe–Ziegler cyclisation to give the N1-aryl or heteroaryl-methylene-3-amino-6-(2-thienyl)-4-trifluoromethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carbohydrazides (7a–d). Treatment of 7a–d with triethyl orthoformate led to the formation of pyridothienopyrimidine derivatives 8a–d. Heating carbohydrazide 5 with acetic acid gave an unexpected product which was assigned as 3-amino-2-methyl-7-(2-thienyl)-9-trifluoromethylpyrido[3′,2′:4,5] thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-4(3H)-one (12). Moreover, the reaction of 5 with other reagents such as acetic anhydride, formic acid, acetylacetone and/or triethyl orthoformate were carried out and their products were identified. Diazotisation of 5 produced the corresponding acyl azide 18 which underwent Curtius rearrangement to furnish the imidazolone derivative 20. Hydrolysis of the ester 3 gave the aminoacid 21 which in turn was converted into the oxazinone derivatives 22 and 23. Recyclisation of 22 and 23 into some pyrimidinone derivatives (12 and 24–26) was carried out.
