Energetics and Kinetics of Syntrophic Aromatic Degradation (Final Technical Report)

This DOE Basic Energy Physical Biosciences project spanned a 28-year period and two project investigators. Numerous significant research discoveries have occurred over this time frame. Much of this work has been reported in peer-reviewed literature, with the publication of results from the last four years forthcoming. The overarching project themes have focused on probing the metabolism of syntrophic bacteria and their environments. Research supported by this project has been central to ten doctoral dissertations and one master’s thesis at the University of Oklahoma. The project has also supported numerous undergraduate research projects throughout the years. Additionally, several microbial genomes were sequenced and annotated in association with this work 12-16. Key findings and publications from this work are highlighted. More detailed results are provided for unpublished and embargoed work. A complete list of publications and research products associated with this project is at the report's end.

Process produces chlorinated aromatic isocyanate in high yield

Tetrachloreterephthaloyl chloride reacts with sodium azide in an atmosphere of nitrogen to form a high yield of tetrachloro-p-phenylene diisocyanate. The chlorinated diisocyanate should have application as an intermediate in the preparation of polyurethane foams. The high halogen content would impart added flame resistance to these foams.

Chemical treatment makes aromatic polyamide fabric fireproof in oxygen atmosphere

Organic fabric is reacted first with vapors of a phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus oxybromide solution and then with bromine vapor, after neutralization it is flameproof in pure oxygen atmosphere. Soaking the fabric with mixture of ammonium polyphosphates increases flame resistance, but the polyphosphates are leached out during laundering.

Condensation cyclization reactions of electron deficient aromatics. 4: Tricyclic nitropropene nitronates from the reaction of phloroglucinol and cycloalkanones with sym-trinitrobenzene

Interesting similarities have been shown between the reactions of sym-trinitrobenzene with cycloalkanones, and with phloroglucinol. Previously unsuspected common intermediates have been shown to intervene. The structurally similar products in each case are tricyclic nitropropene nitronates. Protonation of these yields the corresponding nitronic acids in certain instances.
