The kinetics and mechanisms of the degradation of carboquone (CQ) in aqueous solution were studied and compared with those of 2, 5-bis (1-aziridinyl)-3, 6-dialkyl-1, 4-benzoquinones [EBs : R=-H (EB); -CH3 (MEB); -CH (CH3)2 (IPEB)] determined previously. The degradation of CQ was essentially similar to those of EBs : it followed pseudo first-order kinetics (specific acid-base catalysis), and involved the hydrolytic cleavage of aziridine rings in acidic solutions, the substitution of aziridine rings by hydroxyl ion (radical) in basic solutions and a combination of these two mechanisms in solutions of neutral pH. High performance liquid chromatography patterns of CQ solutions at acidic pH gave two peaks corresponding to two intermediate compounds with one aziridine ring and one hydroxyethylamino group (due to the asymmetrical structure of CQ). However, we could not identify each peak component, or estimate which aziridine ring (at the 2 or 5 position of CQ) was unreacted. This was also the case for the two intermediate compounds with one aziridine ring and one hydroxyl group observed in CQ solutions at basic pH. Kinetic studies of MEB and the two intermediate compounds obtained in acidic solutions by thin-layer chromatography separation made it possible to estimate the chemical structures of these four intermediate compounds.
卡波醌(
CQ)在
水溶液中的降解动力学和机理被研究,并与之前测定的2,5-双(1-
氮丙啶基)-3,6-二烷基-1,4-苯醌[EBs:R=-H(EB);-
CH3(MEB);-CH( )2(IPEB)]进行了比较。
CQ的降解基本上与EBs相似:它遵循伪一级动力学(特定酸碱催化),并且在酸性溶液中涉及
氮丙啶环的
水解断裂,在碱性溶液中涉及羟基离子(自由基)对
氮丙啶环的取代,以及在中性pH溶液中这两种机制的结合。酸性pH下
CQ溶液的高性能
液相色谱图给出了两个峰,对应于两个具有一个
氮丙啶环和一个羟乙
氨基的中间化合物(由于
CQ的不对称结构)。然而,我们无法识别每个峰的组分,也无法估计哪个
氮丙啶环(在
CQ的2或5位)未反应。在碱性pH下
CQ溶液中观察到的具有一个
氮丙啶环和一个羟基的两个中间化合物也是如此。通过薄层色谱分离对MEB和在酸性溶液中得到的两个中间化合物进行的动力学研究,可以估计这四个中间化合物的
化学结构。
