Development of instrumental techniques for coal surface analysis: Functional group analysis in coal by /sup 31/P NMR spectroscopy: Quarterly report, January 1, 1988--March 31, 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6641340
Five phosphorus-containing compounds, desirable as potential reagents for derivatizing labile hydrogen functional groups in coal, on coal surfaces, and in coal-derived materials have been synthesized. These compounds include 2-chloro-1,3-dioxaphospholane (1), 2-chloro-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1-1,3-dioxaphospholane (2), 2-chloro-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3-dioxaphospholane (3), 2-chloro-3-methyl-4-methyl-5-phenyl-1-oxa-3-azaphospholane (4), and 2-chloro-1,3-dithiaphospholane (5). Reagents 1 through 5 have been tested on numerous model compounds including phenols, alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines and thiols to produce /sup 31/P nmr spectra useful for identification and eventual possible quantitation. Reagent 5 has been found to greatly exceed our expectations for resolving the individual /sup 31/P absorption peaks and for separating the peak ranges for the various classes of derivatized model compounds. 7 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
