Methyl 4-O-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl) and methyl 4-O-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside and their 6-O-isomers were prepared as model substances for the ether lignin-saccharide bond by reductive cleavage of corresponding 4,6-O-benzylidene derivatives. Kinetic study of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the compounds prepared was carried out by spectrophotometric determination of the benzyl alcoholic groups set free, after their reaction with quinonemonochloroimide, and it showed the low stability of the p-hydroxybenzyl ether bond.

Abstract Polarographic and spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the determination of ampicillin in capsules. Acidic hydrolysis of ampicillin with 1% HCHO in 0.3N HCl yields a degradation product identified as 2-hydroxy-3-phenyl-6-methylpyrazine. This compound has a well defined UV absorption band at 380 nm and a polarographic wave at –0.55 V vs SCE, which can be used for analytical purposes. Individual capsule assays, composite assays, and recovery studies are described. The average recovery values and standard deviations (SD) for UV and polarographic determinations were 99.20% (SD 0.95) and 100.85% (SD 1.09), respectively

Abstract A method has been developed for determining carbaryl (1-naphthyl N-methyl carbamate) in grains, based on hydrolysis of carbaryl with methanolic potassium hydroxide to 1-naphthol, reaction with 4-aminophenazone in the presence of alkaline oxidizing agent, and spectrophotometric measurement at the absorption maximum at 475 nm. The relationship between absorbance and concentration is linear in the range of 0.5-20 μg/mL. The method can be applied to levels as low as 0.3 ppm carbaryl in grains.

Biotransformation of monocillin I (1) by Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159 was investigated. Two new derivatives 2 and 3 were isolated and identified on the basis of the spectroscopic data. Compounds 2 and 3 are synthesized by hydration at 10,11-double bond and hydrolysis of 14,15-epoxide, respectively. The R configuration of 11-OH in 2 was established by the modified 2-methoxy-2-trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid (MTPA) method. The conversion of 1 to 2 and 3 was reconstituted in an acid solution, indicating that the formation of 2 and 3 is an acid-catalyzed instead of an enzymatic process.

3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)propyl D-glucuronate, 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propyl methyl 4-O-methyl-α-Dglucopyranosiduronate, 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propyl 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranuronate and 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propyl 1,2-(S):3,5-di-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucofuranuronate were prepared as a model substances for the ester lignin-saccharide bonds. Rates of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the prepared compounds in 1 M HCl in acetonitrile-water 3 : 1 at 20 °C have been measured by LC-DAD analysis and it showed the low stability of the ester bonds towards acid hydrolysis.

Abstract Three spectrophotometric methods were developed for the microdetermination of decamethrin in insecticidal formulations and in water. The methods are based on the hydrolysis of decamethrin with methanolic KOH to 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde; condensation of the hydrolysis product with 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH), 4-nitrophenylhydrazine (4-NPH), or 2,4,6-trinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4,6-TNPH) under alkaline conditions; and measurement of the condensates at the absorption maxima of 444,535, and 480 nm, respectively. The relationship between absorbance and concentration was linear in the ranges of 0.1–5.0 μg/mL, 0.5–7.0 μg/mL and 0.1–5.5 μg/mL for 2,4-DNPH, 4-NPH, and 2,4,6-TNPH, respectively. The methods are sufficiently sensitive and can be used to detect decamethrin at concentrations as low as 0.1 μg/mL.
