Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to polymer membrane chronopotential analysis technology, specifically a macrocyclic thiourea compound, its preparation method, and its application in the detection of nitrate ions. Background Technology

[0002] Nitrates are widely present in environmental water bodies, soil, and food. Excessive accumulation can lead to eutrophication, food safety risks, and health hazards (such as methemoglobinemia and potential carcinogenicity). Therefore, establishing rapid, accurate, and low-cost nitrate detection methods is of great significance. Ion-selective electrode methods have become an important technology for nitrate detection due to their advantages such as simple operation, fast response speed, ease of miniaturization, and on-site detection. Among them, polymer-sensitive membrane-based ion-selective electrodes achieve specific recognition and response to nitrate ions through doping with ion carriers. Currently, the carriers used in polymer-sensitive membrane nitrate ion-selective electrodes are mainly quaternary ammonium salt ion exchangers and metal complexes. However, these carriers have limited selectivity for nitrate ions and are easily interfered with by strongly lipophilic anions such as perchlorate, thiocyanate, and iodide ions. Furthermore, these carriers have poor stability in polymer membranes and are prone to loss after long-term use or immersion, leading to decreased electrode sensitivity and shortened lifespan. In addition, the response performance of existing carriers in the detection of low-concentration nitrates still falls short of the requirements for practical sample detection. Therefore, developing novel ion carriers with higher selectivity, stronger anti-interference ability and better membrane phase stability is of great research significance and practical value for improving the performance of polymer sensitive membrane nitrate ion selective electrodes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to develop a macrocyclic thiourea compound, its preparation method, and its application in the detection of nitrate ions.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A macrocyclic thiourea compound, the compound being 1,3,7,9,13,15-hexaazacycloeicosane-2,8,14-trithione as shown in Formula 1;

[0005] Formula 1.

[0006] The method for preparing the compound, specifically the synthesis of 1,3,7,9,13,15-hexaazacycloeicosano-2,8,14-trithione, involves reacting N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1,3-propanediamine with carbon disulfide to obtain N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-aminopropyl isothiocyanate; reacting the obtained product with 1,5-pentanediamine to obtain N,N'-bis[3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)propyl]-1,5-pentanediamine dithiourea; reducing the obtained product with trifluoroacetic acid to remove the tert-butoxycarbonyl protecting group to obtain N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,5-pentanediamine dithiourea; and finally, reacting this product with N,N-diisopropylethylamine to undergo a cyclization reaction to obtain the target product.

[0007] The N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-aminopropyl isothiocyanate is prepared by dissolving N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1,3-propanediamine, triethylamine, and carbon disulfide in tetrahydrofuran, reacting at 0 °C under nitrogen protection for 0.5–1.5 hours, followed by the addition of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, and reacting at 20–30 °C. The reaction was carried out at ℃ for 8-16 hours. After the reaction, the residue was concentrated and dissolved in ethyl acetate. The residue was washed successively with hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and saturated brine. The residue was then dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate to obtain a crude product. The crude product was washed with a mixture of petroleum ether / methyl tert-butyl ether, filtered, and the filter cake was thoroughly washed with petroleum ether. The collected filter cake was concentrated to obtain N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-aminopropyl isothiocyanate. The amount of triethylamine added was 3-3.5 times the amount of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1,3-propanediamine, the amount of carbon disulfide added was 1.5-2.5 times the amount of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1,3-propanediamine, and the amount of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride added was 1-1.5 times the amount of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1,3-propanediamine.

After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain N,N'-bis[3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)propyl]-1,5-pentanediamine dithiourea.

[0009] The N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,5-pentanediamine dithiourea is prepared by dissolving N,N'-bis[3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)propyl]-1,5-pentanediamine dithiourea and trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane and reacting at 25 °C for 4-6 hours. After the reaction is completed, the reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,5-pentanediamine dithiourea. The amount of trifluoroacetic acid added is 14-15 times the molar amount of N,N'-bis[3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)propyl]-1,5-pentanediamine dithiourea.

[0010] The 1,3,7,9,13,15-hexaazacycloeicosano-2,8,14-trithione is prepared by dissolving N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,5-pentanediamine dithiourea, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, and carbon disulfide in ethanol and reacting at 80 °C for 14-16 hours. After the reaction is completed, the reaction mixture is successively concentrated under reduced pressure, purified by high performance liquid chromatography, and freeze-dried to obtain 1,3,7,9,13,15-hexaazacycloeicosano-2,8,14-trithione. The amount of N,N-diisopropylethylamine added is 0.5-1.5 times the molar amount of N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,5-pentanediamine dithiourea, and the amount of carbon disulfide added is 1.5-2.5 times the molar amount of N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,5-pentanediamine dithiourea.

Example 2 Preparation of a liquid-contact nitrate ion-selective electrode containing an internal filling solution: The polymer-sensitive membrane components, by weight percentage: 1 wt% 1,3,7,9,13,15-hexaazacycloeicosano-2,8,14-trithione, 0.15 wt% tris(dodecyl)methylammonium chloride, 32.95 wt% polyvinyl chloride, and 65.9 wt% 2-nitrobenzeneoctyl ether. A total of 360 mg of the above components was dissolved in 3.6 mL of tetrahydrofuran. After thorough mixing, the membrane solution was cast into a 36 mm diameter glass ring fixed to a glass plate. The sensitive membrane was obtained after the tetrahydrofuran had completely evaporated at room temperature. A sensitive membrane with a diameter of approximately 5 mm was cut from the mother membrane using a punch and then adhered to the top of the electrode cavity using tetrahydrofuran. 10 -3 A mol / L sodium nitrate solution was used as the internal filling solution, and a silver / silver chloride electrode was used as the internal reference electrode.

[0030] Example 3 Preparation of an all-solid-state nitrate ion-selective electrode based on an ion-electron transduction layer: A 3 mm diameter glassy carbon electrode was first polished with 0.05 mm alumina slurry, and then ultrasonically cleaned in deionized water and ethanol. 5 mg of ordered mesoporous carbon material was weighed and dispersed in 1 mL of tetrahydrofuran, and a homogeneous suspension was prepared by ultrasonic treatment. 6 μL of this suspension was drop-coated onto the surface of the pretreated glassy carbon electrode and dried at room temperature.

A total of 360 mg of the above membrane component was dissolved in 3.6 mL of tetrahydrofuran and stirred to form a homogeneous solution. Subsequently, 80 μL of the membrane solution was dropped onto the glassy carbon electrode modified with ordered mesoporous carbon, and after drying at room temperature, the nitrate ion selective electrode was obtained.

[0031] Example 4 Sensitivity and selectivity testing of nitrate ion selective electrodes: The nitrate ion-selective electrode prepared in Example 3 was used to form a two-electrode system with a reference electrode (a silver / silver chloride / 3 mol / L potassium chloride electrode as the reference electrode), and the potential was measured using a Chenhua 660E electrochemical workstation. The nitrate ion-selective electrode prepared in Example 3 was tested at 10... -3 In a background solution of 10 mol / L NaCl -8 ~10 -2 The potential response of nitrate ions in different concentration ranges of mol / L is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the electrode is at 10 -5.5~10 -2 It exhibits a linear response to nitrate ions within the concentration range of mol / L, with a Nernst slope of -58.5 mV / dec and a detection limit of 2.2 × 10⁻⁶. -6 mol / L ( Figure 5 ).

[0032] Using the separate solution method, the electrode obtained in Example 3 above was tested for its reaction with ClO4. - SCN - I - ,Br - Cl - NO2 - SO4 2- HPO4 2- The selectivity was calculated, with selectivity coefficients of 1.5, 0.7, 0.1, -1.4, -3.1, -2.3, -4.3, and -4.7, respectively. A nitrate ion-selective electrode without an ion support (i.e., a membrane formulation of 0.46 wt% tris(dodecyl)methylammonium chloride, 32.85 wt% polyvinyl chloride, and 65.69 wt% 2-nitrobenzeneoctyl ether) was used for ClO4. - SCN - I - ,Br - Cl - NO2 - SO4 2- HPO4 2- The selectivity coefficients were 3.1, 2.1, 1.4, -0.5, -1.9, -0.9, -3.2, and -3.4, respectively. These results demonstrate that the polymer-sensitive membrane nitrate ion selective electrode based on a novel macrocyclic thiourea support developed in this invention exhibits good sensitivity and detection limit for nitrate ions.

[0033] Example 5 Applications of nitrate ion selective electrodes: Using the electrode obtained in Example 3 above, the concentration of nitrate ions in natural freshwater samples (lake water, river water, and snowmelt) was determined by the standard addition method, and the results were compared with those obtained by the continuous flow method. As shown in Table 1, the detection results of the ion-selective electrode are highly consistent with those of the continuous flow method, indicating that the polymer-sensitive membrane ion-selective electrode based on the novel macrocyclic thiourea carrier can serve as an effective analytical method for directly detecting the concentration of nitrate ions in natural freshwater, with good accuracy and reliability.
