Continuous flow photo-thiol-ene reactions on cinchona alkaloids with a variety of organic thiols have been developed to deliver a series of unprecedented architectures. A self-optimizing flow photochemical reactor was deployed...
H3PO4 activated corncob carbon was used for removal of methyl orange. Characterization of the prepared carbon showed that it has many pores with a specific surface area equal to 714 m2 g-1. During this study, the concentration of methyl orange was monitored using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. The kinetic study of the adsorption of methyl orange on activated carbon was performed and the adsorption rate was found to be consistent with pseudo-second order kinetics with 240 min as the equilibrium time. The equilibrium adsorption revealed that the experimental data better fit the Langmuir isotherm model for methyl orange removal. It is noted that for optimal removal of 10 mg L-1 methyl orange in a 25 mL volume, 0.3 g of activated carbon and a pH equal to 2.04 are required. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity for methyl orange removal was found to be 107.527 mg g-1. Analysis of thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption process of methyl orange on activated carbon is physisorption, spontaneous and endothermic.
In this work, we describe ultra-fast continuous flow photo-thiolene reactions on cinchona alkaloids derivatives through a control of the reactive conformation in solution. Flow thiol-ene reactions proceed at 32 °C under light irradiation at 365 nm and require only 2.5 minutes of residence time to reach completion. The short path length of the tubular flow photochemical reactor, which maximizes and homogenizes the photon flux, associated to the fine tuning of the reactive conformation of cinchona alkaloids in solution are the main reasons for the high rates observed. The predominant conformation in solution of cinchona alkaloids was adjusted through the substitution of the hydroxyl group at C9 by a phenyl carbamate function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
