Reactions of mental chelates. I. The reactions of copper (II) chelates of some beta-diketones and their related compounds with glycine, diglycine and triglycine.
The reactions of copper(II) chelates of β-diketones such as acetylacetone, benzoylacetone, dibenzoylmethane and benzoylacetaldehyde and of chelates of their related compounds such as salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxyacetophenone with glycine or glycylglycine were investigated. Only bis(salicylaldehydato)copper(II) and bis(benzoylacetaldehydato)copper(II) reacted with glycine to form the respective glycinato-Schiff base complexes, whereas the other chelates did not react with glycine under the same condition. On the other hand, all the chelates except bis(dibenzoylmethanato)copper(II) reacted with glycylglycine to form the respective glycylglycinato-Schiff base complexes. The reaction at pH 4.5 between bis(salicylaldehydato)copper(II) and triglycine resulted in the hydrolytic cleavage of peptide bond, producing the salicylideneglycylglycinatocuprate(II) and free glycine. As the results of this investigation, five new copper(II) chelates were synthesized and characterized.
Reactions of Metal Chelates. IV. The Reactions of Bis(salicylaldehydato)-copper(II) with Diethylenetriamine and Triethylenetetramine
The reactions of bis(salicylaldehydato)copper(II) with diethylenetriamine and triethylenetetramine were investigated under several different conditions. In water, in the absence of other reagents, the reactions gave uncharged bis (salicylaldehyde)-diethylenetriamine- and -triethylenetetramine-copper(II), respectively. In the presence of an acid the resulting complexes were the respective cation complexes, in which only one of the two terminal nitrogen atoms was in the form of Schiff base with salicylaldehyde. In the presence of a salt, the resulting complex from diethylenetriamine was a cation complex, and that from triethylenetetramine an uncharged complex. Three new copper(II) chelates were obtained.

(1996), potassium iodide p. 578, sodium iodide p. 630) determine iodide with the ICl-method (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 25 (1903) 756-761; Z. Anorg. Chem. 36 (1903) 76-83; Fresenius Z. Anal.

(1999), K10 p. 2), using chloroform, which is toxic and hazardous to environment. Without the application of chlorinated hydrocarbons USP 2000 (The United State Pharmacopeia, 24th ed. (2000), potassium iodide p. 1368, sodium iodide p. 1535) and Brit 1999 (British Pharmacopoeia London, (1999), Appendix VIII C, p. A162) titrate iodide with the redox indicator amaranth. A titration with potentiometric indication giving two end-points at the step of I(2) and [ICl(2)](-) is described. Due to the high concentration of hydrochloric acid required for the ICl-method, the determination with DBH (1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin; 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethyl-2,4-imidazolidinedione) can be recommended and is performed easily. Similarly, the iodide content of gallamine triethiodide may be analyzed with DBH by application of a visual two-phase titration in water and ethyl acetate or with potentiometric indication in a mixture of 2-propanol and water. During the removal of the excess of DBH 4-bromo-triethylgallamine (2,2',2"-[1-bromo-benzene-2,3,4-triyltris(oxy)]N,N,N-triethylethanium) is formed.
