Role of Carbonyl Compounds for N-Nitrosamine Formation during Nitrosation: Kinetics and Mechanisms

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Yishuai Pan

N-Nitrosamines are potential human carcinogens frequently detected in natural and engineered aquatic systems. This study sheds light on the role of carbonyl compounds in the formation of N-nitrosamines by nitrosation of five secondary amines via different ...

Synthesis of 3-Acyloxyindolenines by TiCl3-Mediated Reductive Cyclization of 2-(ortho-Nitroaryl)-Substituted Enol Esters

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Cyril Piemontesi, Dina Boyarskaya, Alberto Ongaro

In the presence of TiCl3, the reductive cyclization of tetrasubstituted enol esters bearing a 2-(ortho-nitroaryl) substituent affords 3-acyloxy-2,3-disubstituted indolenines in good yields. A domino process involving the partial reduction of nitro to a nit ...

Re-assessing the Formation of N-nitrosamines during Chloramination of Various Nitrogenous Compounds using Specific and Total N-nitrosamines Analysis

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Andrea Piazzoli

N-nitrosamines (NOAs) are potent carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds that can be present in water, biological fluids, food, consumer products and cigarette smoke. Several studies have shown that the formation of NOAs in water can arise from the reactions ...

Formation of N-nitrosamines by micelle-catalysed nitrosation of aliphatic secondary amines

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Isuf Salihu

N-Nitrosamines are an important class of potent human carcinogens and mutagens that can be present in water and wastewater. For instance, N-nitrosamines can be formed by reaction of nitrosating agents such as NO+ or N2O3 formed from nitrite under acidic co ...
