Donor-Acceptor Complexes in Copolymerization. XXVI. Effect of Solvent,Temperature, and Complexing Agent on the Polymerization of Comonomer Charge Transfer Complexes

The copolymerization of styrene with methyl methacrylate (S/MMA = 4/1) or acrylonitrile (S/AN = 1/1) in the presence of ethylaluminum sesquichloride (EASC) yields 1/1 copolymer in toluene or chlorobenzene. In chloroform the S-MMA-EASC polymerization yields 60/40 copolymer while the S-AN-EASC polymerization yields 1/1 copolymer. In the presence of EASC, styrene-α-chloroacrylonitrile yields 1/1 copolymer (DMF or DMSO), S-AN yields 1/1 copolymer (DMSO) or radical copolymer (DMF), S-MMA yields radical copolymer (DMF or DMSO), α-methylstyrene-AN yields radical copolymer (DMSO) or traces of copolymer (DMF), and α-MS-methacrylo-nitrile yields traces of copolymer (DMSO) or no copolymer (DMF). When zinc chloride is used as complexing agent in DMF or DMSO, none of the monomer pairs undergoes polymerization. However, radical catalyzed polymerization of isoprene-AN-ZnCl₂ in DMF yields 1/1 alternating copolymer. The copolymerization of S/MMA in the presence of EASC yields 1/1 alternating copolymer up to 100°C, while the copolymerization of S/AN deviates from 1/1 alternating copolymer above 50°C. The copolymerization of S/MMA deviates from 1/1 copolymer at MMA/EASC mole ratios above 20 while the copolymerization of S/AN deviates from 1/1 copolymer at MMA/EASC ratios above 50.     

Effect of pH on H2O2 production in the radiolysis of water

The yields of hydrogen peroxide have been measured in the radiolysis of aqueous solutions of acrylamide, bromide, nitrate, and air in the pH range of 1-13. Hydrogen peroxide is the main stable oxidizing species formed in the radiolysis of water, and its long-term yield is found to be very sensitive to the system used in the measurements. Experiments with γ-irradiation combined with model calculations show that the primary yields of hydrogen peroxide are nearly independent of pH in the range of 2-12. Slightly higher primary yields are suggested at very low pH in particular when O(2) is present, while the yields seem to decrease at very high pH. Irradiations were performed with 5 MeV H ions, 5 MeV He ions, and 10 MeV C ions to evaluate the intratrack and homogeneous kinetic contributions to H(2)O(2) formation with different ions. Many of the trends in hydrogen peroxide yields with pH observed with γ-irradiations are observed with irradiation by the heavy ions. The lower yields of radicals in the homogeneous phase with the heavier ions tend to minimize the effects of radicals on the hydrogen peroxide yields at long times.     

Deselenation of diselenacyclophanes —a new synthetic method of [2.2]cyclophanes—

Several diselena[3.3]cyclophanes were prepared by coupling of bisselenocyanates and bis(bromomethyl)benzenes in good yields. The benzyne Stevens rearrangement-Raney Ni hydrogenolysis method gave good yields of double- and triple-layered cyclophanes from the diselenides, though the flash pyrolysis method gave them in low yields.     

Interaction of beta-lactam carbenes with aryl isonitriles: an unprecedented rearrangement of 2-azetidinonylidene indoles to delta-carbolinones

The reaction of beta-lactam carbenes with aryl isonitriles proceeded in a novel [2 + 2] fashion to give high yields of 2-azetidinonylidene indoles 4, which underwent an unprecedented rearrangement to furnish 4-arylimino-delta-carbolin-2-ones 5 in almost quantitative yields. Acid catalyzed rearrangement and the subsequent hydrolysis of 2-azetidinonylidene indoles 4 produced two types of delta-carbolin-2,4-diones 10 and 11, respectively, in good to excellent yields. The photophysical study showed that both delta-carbolin-2,4-diones 10 and 11 are highly fluorescent with the fluorescent quantum yields being up to 0.43.     

Synthesis of carbazoles via an intramolecular cyclization of 2-(6-substituted 3(Z)-hexen-1,5-diynyl)anilines and their related molecules

Various 2-(6-substituted 3(Z)-hexen-1,5-diynyl)anilines 1a-g were treated with potassium tert-butoxide or potassium 3-ethylpentanoxide in NMP at 60 degrees C for 2 h to give the corresponding 5-substituted carbazoles 2a-g in 36-65% yields together with indoles 9a-g in 21-40% yields, respectively. Exposing the trifluoroacetamide analogues 10h-k under the same reaction conditions gave the carbazoles 2b-e in 37-57% yields and indoles 9b-e in 15-27% yields. Subsequent cyclizations of acetamide analogues 10a-g gave carbazoles 2a-g in 53-86% yields.     

Photochemical reactions of organomercury compounds in organic solvents

The quantum yields of photolysis of organomercury compounds in different organic solvents have been measured. It was shown that the quantum yields of photolysis of nitro derivatives of mercury compounds and the symmetric (methylnaphtyl)mercury compound are equal to unity. The photolysis of halo derivatives of benzylmercury proceeds with lower quantum yields as compared with photolysis of analogous dibenzylmercury derivatives. The quantum yields of photolysis of organomercury compounds are almost independent of the solvent.     

Thermochemical conversion of polysaccharides in concentrated alkali to glycolic acid

Degradation of starch and cellulose in alkaline solutions above 8N NaOH favored the production of glycolic acid. In 16N NaOH, starch and cellulose degraded at 240°C to produce, respectively, 46 and 43% yields of glycolic acid. At these same conditions, 24 and 12% yields of oxalic acid were also produced from starch and cellulose. Raising the amount of starch or cellulose above 10 g in 250 mL 16 N NaOH lowered the percent yields of glycolic and oxalic acids, but increased absolute yields sufficiently to consider larger polysaccharide: 16 N NaOH ratios for commercial use. Substituting KOH for NaOH lowered glycolic and oxalic acid yields, and demonstrated the effect of the alkali cation on the conversion reactions.     

Cooperative effect of factors governing molecular ion yields in desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

Factors governing the molecular ion yields of amino acids and peptides have been studied using fast atom bombardment (FAB) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) in positive-ion mode. The ion yields of protonated amino acids under FAB conditions are dependent on proton affinity (PA), hydrophobicity, and aromaticity of amino acids. Both PA and hydrophobicity contribute to an increase in the ion yields, while aromaticity contributes to a decrease. In MALDI, the ion yields increase linearly with the increase of PA of amino acids with the exception of lysine. In both FAB and MALDI experiments with peptides, the presence of arginine residues is essential for producing abundant protonated peptides. In FAB, the presence of aliphatic and hydrophobic amino acids (leucine and isoleucine) increases the ion yields of protonated peptides, while some hydrophilic amino acids (aspartic acid and asparagines) decrease the ion yields. The presence of two or more arginine residues does not give higher ion yields in FAB. In MALDI, the presence of aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine and tyrosine) enhances the signals for protonated peptides. Thus, physicochemical factors of individual amino acids cooperatively affect the ion yields of protonated amino acids and peptides. These factors governing the ion yields in FAB and MALDI affect two processes, desorption and ionization, that can be considered independently.     

Depolymerization Study of Pakistani Lignite Coal Influence of Pre‐treatments on Product Slate

Influence of pretreatments, i.e., demineralization and pre‐soaking in some solvents on the yields of liquefied products obtained from hydro‐depolymerization of Pakistani coal in a pool of hydrogen has been discussed. Results of hydrogenation experiments demonstrated that demineralizing the coal sample prior to liquefaction caused the yields to decrease compared with the virgin coal samples. The contribution of mineral matter of coal has been evaluated by comparing the yields of liquid products of virgin and leached samples. Increase in the yields obtained from the hydrogenation experiments of swollen coal samples was not satisfactorily significant.     

The direct synthesis of 6-amino-6-deoxyaldonic acids as monomers for the preparation of polyhydroxylated nylon 6

6-Azido-6-deoxy-d-galactitol and d-mannitol were obtained quantitatively via the reduction of the corresponding 6-azido-6-deoxy-d-hexono-1,4-lactones, and 6-azido-6-deoxy-d-glucitol was obtained by the reduction of 6-azido-6-deoxyglucose in good yields. The reduction of monoazidodeoxyhexitols by catalytic hydrogenation gave the monoaminohexitol analogues in 95–98% yields. Oxidation of these afforded the corresponding 6-amino-6-deoxy-d-aldonic acids in moderate yields. Alternatively, saponification of 6-azido-6-deoxy-d-hexonolactones gave 6-azido-6-deoxyaldonic acid salts which, after reduction followed by neutralization, led to the expected compounds in 82–88% overall yields.

Asymmetric synthesis of alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino acids by diastereoselective alkylation of camphor-based tricyclic iminolactone

A novel and convenient route for the preparation of chiral tricyclic iminolactones 9 and 10 from camphorquinone has been developed. Alkylation of iminolactones 9 and 10 provided iminolactones 16 and 17 in high yields which were, in turn, alkylated again to afford the alpha,alpha-disubstituted products in good yields (70-90%) and excellent diastereoselectivities (>98%). Hydrolysis of the alkylated iminolactones furnished the desired alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino acids in good yields and high enantiomeric excesses with good recovery yields of the chiral auxiliary 12 and 13. The extremely high endo-face selectivity for alkylation is discussed using semiempirical (MOPAC 93) calculations.     

污水污泥流化床气化焦油的化学组成分析

以空气为气化剂、并通过GC-MS分析,研究了污水污泥流化床气化时气化温度（650、750和850 ℃）和污泥性质对污泥气化焦油产率及其化学组成的影响。结果表明,污泥气化焦油产率随气化温度的升高而降低,且厌氧消化污泥气化焦油的产率比未消化污泥的低。污泥气化焦油中的化学组成可分为五类：脂肪族化合物、脂环化合物、芳香烃、芳香烃衍生物和杂环化合物。随气化温度的升高,A²/O工艺的未消化污泥气化生成的焦油中脂肪族化合物和脂环化合物的产率均明显降低,芳香烃衍生物的产率则有显著地提高,而芳香烃和杂环化合物的产率均先增加后减少。气化温度为650 ℃时,活性污泥法消化污泥气化焦油中五类有机物的产率均低于未消化污泥的,而A²/O工艺消化污泥气化焦油中芳香烃产率高于未消化污泥的,其他四种有机物的产率则均低于未消化污泥的。     

Critical assessment of two classical synthetic methods for preparation of thiophene-substituted isoxazoles

Formation of thiophene-substituted isoxazoles by reaction of chalcone dibromides and 1,3-diketones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride has been examined under different conditions. Use of KOH as base in the reaction of dibromide chalcone analogs with hydroxylamine hydrochloride yields mixtures of isomeric isoxazoles in modest yields. Replacement of KOH with pyridine affords negligible amounts of isoxazoles only, the intermediate 2-bromoprop-2-en-1-one being isolated from the reaction as the major product. Substitution of the β-bromine atom from a chalcone dibromides with a methoxy group by solvolysis occurred when no base was used. Mixtures of isomeric isoxazoles in which the isoxazole that had a 2-thienyl group at position 5 were always major components, were obtained in good yields from reaction of thiophene-containing 1,3-diketones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, irrespective of reaction pH. At low pH, regioselectivity was poorer than that observed for reaction of chalcone dibromides with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, but yields were substantially better. At high pH, yields were comparable with those at low pH and regioselectivity for 3-aryl-5-(2-thiophenyl)isoxazole was slightly enhanced, but the dioxime corresponding to the initial 1,3-diketone was also produced in low yields as a mixture of stereoisomers.     

Acid-catalyzed cyclization of alkoxyacryloylureas to 2,4(1H,3H)pyrimidinediones

1-Phenylthymine and the carbocyclic analog of thymidine were obtained in yields of 84-87% by cyclizing the appropriate 3-methoxy-2-methylacryloylureas in dilute sulfuric acid. High yields of 1-phenylthymine also resulted when the cyclization was carried out in trifluoroacetic acid, in acetic acid containing toluenesulfonic acid (TSA), or by fusion of the urea with a catalytic amount of TSA. In comparison, the typical aqueous-alkali catalyzed cyclizations gave lower yields of the two thymines, and cleavage of the acryloylureas was shown to occur. However, cyclization in concentrated aqueous ammonia produced high yields of both thymine derivatives.     

Effect of Initial Particle Size and Densification on AFEX-Pretreated Biomass for Ethanol Production

Switchgrass (SG), corn stover (CS), and prairie cordgrass (PCG) pretreated with ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX) were densified using a novel low-temperature, low-pressure densification method. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) and separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) were performed with loose and densified AFEX-treated biomass to determine the effect of post-AFEX densification. Biomass particle size reduction before pretreatment increased 144-h SSF ethanol yields from densified material by 8–9 % although no significant differences were seen in the first 72 h. Grinding material after densification had no impact on final ethanol yields but increased production rates in the first 24–48 h. Low-pressure, post-AFEX densification had no adverse effects on SSF ethanol yields from SG or CS but reduced yields from densified PCG by 16 %. Glucose concentrations after hydrolysis (SHF) showed similar trends. Ethanol yields after SHF, however, showed that densification had no significant impact on CS or PCG but reduced final ethanol yields from SG.     

Cumulative yields of short-lived isotopes of barium in the spontaneous fission of252Cf

Cumulative yields of short-lived/barium isotopes^{139, 141, 142}Ba have been determined in the spontaneous fission of²⁵²Cf, using fast radiochemical separation and gamma-ray spectrometry.¹⁴²Ba yield is reported for the first time. The measured cumulative yields are converted to chain yields, assuming normal charge distribution systematics for comparision with the literature data.     

Photoactivity of kynurenine-derived UV filters

Quantum yields of photodecomposition and triplet state formation under aerobic and anaerobic conditions are determined for kynurenine (KN), 3-hydroxykynurenine (3OHKN), xanthurenic acid (XAN), and kynurenine adducts of glutathione (GSH-KN), cysteine (Cys-KN), histidine (His-KN), and lysine (Lys-KN) in aqueous solutions. The highest yields of anaerobic photodecomposition were obtained for GSH-KN and His-KN adducts, which correlates with the highest triplet yields for these compounds. In aerobic conditions, the photodecomposition yields for all compounds under study increase; the highest decomposition rates were observed for His-KN and 3OHKN. The fast decomposition of the latter is attributed to the dark autoxidation of the starting compound.     

Steam pretreatment of Salix with and without SO2 impregnation for production of bioethanol

In the wood-to-ethanol process, pretreatment of the material is necessary prior to enzymatic hydrolysis to obtain high overall yields of sugar and ethanol. Steam pretreatment of fast-growing Salix either with or without SO₂ impregnation has been investigated by varying different parameters. Overall glucose yields of above 90% and overall xylose yields higher than 80% were obtained both with and without impregnation. However, the most favorable pretreatment conditions for the separate yields of glucose and xylose differed to a lower degree using SO₂-impregnated wood chips, resulting in higher total sugar yield than that obtained with non-impregnated wood chips.
