Keto-enol tautomerization rates of acetylacetone in mixed aqueous media

TL;DR: In this paper, the kinetics of keto-enol tautomerization of acetylacetone were studied in mixed aqueous media by u.v. and NMR spectrometries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Keto-enol tautomerization rates of acetylacetone in water-acetonitrile and water-dimethyl sulfoxide mixtures: Rate-partition relationship

TL;DR: In this paper, the rate of the keto-enol tautomerization of acetylacetone was studied in water-acetonitrile (AN) and water-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flow fluorimetry of trace amounts of uranium(VI) after preconcentration on a tri-n-octylphosphine oxide/polyethylene column and elution with hydrogenphosphate solution

TL;DR: In this article, a simple flow fluorimetric method was applied to the determination of uranium in a spinel, which provided a limit of detection of 0.04 μg for uranium and the calibration graph was linear for the range 0.08-0.8 μg of uranium when 4−15 ml of sample solution was passed through the column.
Journal ArticleDOI

Partition kinetic studies of n-alkyl substituted β-diketones

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of substituent effect on the partition mechanism of β-diketone was discussed and it was proved that the partition rate constant of the β-DIKetone is governed by the partition coefficients of keto and enol forms which increase in proportion to the total carbon numbers of the substituents and the tautomerization rate constant in aqueous phase which decrease with decreasing of the inductive substituaent constant (Taft's σ ∗ ) of n -alkyl group.
