Abstract:Abstract: Gallic acid was modified to synthesize tribenzyl gallic acid and its acyl chloride, and then reacted with D-arabinose, glucose and heptaazinose. After catalytic hydrogenation debenzyl, three new gallic saccharide tannins, gallioyl-arabinose (Ⅴ), gallioyl-glucose (Ⅶ) and gallioyl-heptaazinose (Ⅸ), were obtained respectively. The structures of the synthesized intermediates and target compounds were confirmed by 1HNMR, 13CNMR and HRMS. The tannic acid was complexed with germanium (Ge4+) solution, and the complex was obtained by centrifugation and freeze-drying. The content of germanium in the supernatant and the complex were analyzed. The results showed that the concentration of Ge4+ in the supernatant was lower than that in the standard solution (10 mmol/L), indicating that the three newly synthesized tannic acid compounds could complexate with Ge4+ and form stable complexes. Based on the Ge4+ adsorption capacity, the Ge4+ complexation ability of newly synthesized gallic glucose was similar to that of natural gallic tannic acid, while the Ge4+ complexation ability of gallic arabinose and gallic heptaazinose was better than that of natural gallic tannic acid. The optimal conditions for the complexation of gallic saccharides and Ge4+ were adjusting the solution pH to 2, temperature to 50 ℃, and shaking for 2 h. The selectivity experiments showed that the priority order of complexation of Ge4+, Fe3+ and Zn2+ by gallic saccharides was: Fe3+ > Ge4+ > Zn2+.
