Product Analyses of Ozone Mediated Nitration of Benzimidazole Derivatives with Nitrogen Dioxide: Formation of 1-Nitrobenzimidazoles and Conversion to Benzotriazoles
benzimidazole derivatives having electron-withdrawing or -donating substituent(s) at the benzene moiety were used as models of the imidazole moiety of purine bases and their nitration with nitrogendioxide and ozone (so-called Kyodai nitration) were examined. Products were extracted from the reaction mixture with AcOEt and their structures were analyzed. 1-Nitrobenzimidazole derivatives and unexpected
The present invention relates to sensitive SE(R)RS based methods for detecting analytes such as explosives and drugs, which may be present in a sample at extremely low levels. The methods may be generally carried out in situ employing novel chemistry which is compatible with flow-cell technology and with time-scales and concentrations required for rapid and informative screening of large numbers of samples. The present invention also relates to novel compounds e.g. synthons and apparatus for use with the methods disclosed.
