Abstract:
The absolute configuration of strictosidinic acid, (2S,3R,4S)-3-ethenyl-2-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-4-{[(1S)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl]methyl}-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-5-carboxylate, was determined from its sodium chloride trihydrate, poly[[diaqua((2S,3R,4S)-3-ethenyl-2-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-4-{[(1S)-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-2-ium-1-yl]methyl}-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-5-carboxylate)sodium] chloride monohydrate], {[Na(C(26)H(32)N(2)O(9))(H(2)O)(2)]Cl·H(2)O}(n). The strictosidinic acid molecule participates in intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the O-H...O and O-H...Cl types. The solid-state conformation was observed as a zwitterion, based on a charged pyridine N atom and a carboxylate group, the latter mediating the packing through coordination with the sodium cation.

02:28Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:
01:28Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
