Organic Arsenic in the Soil Environment: Speciation, Occurrence, Transformation, and Adsorption Behavior

An attempt is made to describe the fate and behavior of organic arsenic (As) compounds in the soil environment, based on an extensive literature researches. The objective of this review is to provide an overview on the state of knowledge to date about the occurrence and potential transformation of organic As, including methylation, degradation, and hydration, in soils and their uptake and accumulation in plants and animals. Accordingly, the biogeochemical cycle of organic As in the soil environment is propose

3-Phenyl-2-(prop-2-yn­yloxy)-1-benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one

In the title compound, C19H12N2O3, the 1-benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidinone unit is approximately planar, the maximum deviation from the mean plane being 0.045 (1) Å. The attached phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 86.73 (6)° with the fused ring system. The packing of the mol­ecules in the crystal structure is mainly governed by C—H⋯π hydrogen-bonding inter­actions

3,3′-(1,4-Phenyl­ene)bis­[2-(propyl­amino)­benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one] ethanol disolvate

The title compound, C32H28N6O4·2C2H5OH, consists of two 2-(propyl­amino)­benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one units connected, via one of the pyrimidine N atoms, to a bridging benzene ring in the 1,4 positions. Two ethanol solvent mol­ecules are also present. The main mol­ecule lies on a center of symmetry located at the center of the benzene ring. The fused-ring system of the benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine moiety is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.016 Å) and forms a dihedral angle of 78.21 (7)° with the central benzene ring. The crystal structure features O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O inter­actions. The C atoms of the propyl­amino side chain in the main mol­ecule and the ethyl group in the solvent mol­ecule are disordered over two positions, with site-occupancy factors 0.34:0.66 and 0.42:0.58, respectively
