Synthesis and characterization of azoxy based mesogenic diols

Azoxy based rigid mesogenic diols have been synthesized using two steps. Phenol/cresol is used as starting material. Synthesized diols are characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR, and mass spectroscopic methods. Thermal properties have been determined by thermo gravimetric analysis method and crystallinity patterns have been obtained by wide angle X-ray diffractogram. Substituted phenol (methyl) is used to study the effect of substitution on physical and thermal properties of rigid azoxy mesogenic diol. The detailed characterization of azoxy based rigid diols is reported in this communication, which is highly useful for fundamental and applied research, particularly in liquid crystals and liquid crystalline polymers. The experimental results reveal that phenol based rigid mesogenic diols have high thermal stability and degree of crystallinity than methyl substituted rigid mesogenic diols.

Nitrosation kinetics of phenolic components of foods and beverages

The kinetics of the reactions between sodium nitrite and phenol or m-, o-, or p-cresol in potassium hydrogen phthalate buffers of pH 2.5-5.7 were determined by integration of the monitored absorbance of the C-nitroso reaction products. At pH > 3, the dominant reaction was C-nitrosation through a mechanism that appears to consist of a diffusion-controlled attack on the nitrosatable substrate by NO+/NO2H2+ ions followed by a slow proton transfer step; the latter step is supported by the observation of basic catalysis by the buffer which does not form alternative nitrosating agents as nitrosyl compounds. The catalytic coefficients of both anionic forms of the buffer have been determined. The observed order of substrate reactivities (o-cresol ≈ m-cresol > phenol ? p-cresol) is explained by the hyperconjugative effect of the methyl group in o- and m-cresol, and by its blocking the para position in p-cresol. Analysis of a plot of ΔH# against ΔS# shows that the reaction with p-cresol differs from those with o- and m-cresol as regards the formation and decomposition of the transition state. The genotoxicity of nitrosatable phenols is compared with their reactivity with NO+/NO2H2+.
