Photocatalytic N-formylation of amines via a reductive quenching cycle in the presence of air

Photochemical N-formylation of amines was performed under simple and mild reaction conditions. Amines are common electron donors in reductive photocatalysis, which then typically decompose after donating an electron to the photocatalyst. We have found that these oxidized amines can be utilized to give N-formamides in the presence of air without additional formylating agents. The reaction proceeds via the in situ formation of enamines. Oxygen (air) is necessary for the reaction to occur as it regenerates the photocatalyst forming superoxide radical anions as crucial intermediates involved in the reaction.

Gamma-radiolytic stability of new methylated TODGA derivatives for minor actinide recycling

The stability against gamma radiation of MeTODGA (methyl tetraoctyldiglycolamide) and Me2TODGA (dimethyl tetraoctyldiglycolamide), derivatives from the well-known extractant TODGA (N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyldiglycolamide), were studied and compared. Solutions of MeTODGA and Me2TODGA in alkane diluents were subjected to 60Co γ-irradiation in the presence and absence of nitric acid and analyzed using LC-MS to determine their rates of radiolytic concentration decrease, as well as to identify radiolysis products. The results of product identification from three different laboratories are compared and found to be in good agreement. The diglycolamide (DGA) concentrations decreased exponentially with increasing absorbed dose. The MeTODGA degradation rate constants (dose constants) were uninfluenced by the presence of nitric acid, but the acid increased the rate of degradation for Me2TODGA. The degradation products formed by irradiation are also initially produced in greater amounts in acid-contacted solution, but products may also be degraded by continued radiolysis. The identified radiolysis products suggest that the weakest bonds are those in the diglycolamide center of these molecules.
