Polarographic determination of the protonation rate constants of pyridine and some of its homologs as affected by water

Summary The heights of the catalytic waves in nonbuffer solutions (0.5 M KC1) at 25° have been used to find the rate constants for protonation by water, using the following compounds: Pyridine (5.5 liter/M-sec),-picoline (10.1),-picoline (8.0),-p+icoline (12.5), and ,-lutidine (26). A discussion is given of the effect of steric factors on the protonation rate of these compounds.     

Steroid compounds of marine sponges. VII. Preparation of derivatives of sokotrasterol and halistanol sulfates and structure-activity interrelationships among these compounds

Five new sulfated derivatives of sokotrasterol and halistanol have been obtained: 24-nor-5-cholane-2,3,6,23-tetraol 2,3,6-tri(sodium sulfate); 24-nor-5-cholane-2,3,6,23-tetraol 2,3,6-tri(sodium sulfate) 23-palmitate; 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 3-(sodium sulfate); 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 6-(sodium sulfate); and 24,25-dimethyl-5-cholestane-2,3,6-triol 2,6-di(sodium sulfate). The inhibiting and membranolytic properties of the polysulfated steroids from sponges and their derivatives have been studied. It has been shown that physiological activity in this series of compounds depends on biphilicity.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Scientific Center, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

Complex polarizability as used to analyze dielectric relaxation measurements

The effect of representing dielectric properties in terms of the complex polarizability ^c = – i is examined. Loss curves ( and tan ) are shifted towards higher frequencies, revealing the existence of new relaxations and allowing the clarifications of ones already known. We have calculated the shift ratios (at maximum or tan )/ (at maximum or tan ) from the more conventional empirical equations representing the dielectric behavior. Some examples are given.

Photoluminescence Spectra and Crystallization of θ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 from AlOOH-Fe(NO3)3 Gels

Diphasic boehmite derived unseeded and seeded (by either -Al₂O₃, -Fe₂O₃, or Fe(NO₃)₃) alumina gel planar monoliths were examined by DTA, XRD and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Luminescence spectra enable sensitive monitoring of the - and -Al₂O₃ crystallization in heat-treated gels due to Cr³⁺ impurity traces. Fe(NO₃)₃ unlike other seeds effectively influences crystallization of both - and -Al₂O₃. The present results are interpreted as prevailing solution or Fe³⁺ ion effect on the crystallization process.     

Energy shift of vanadium Kα X-rays accompanying EC decay in51Cr-labeled compounds

The VK X-rays induced by the electron capture decay of⁵¹Cr-labeled compounds and the fluorescent X-rays of the vanadium compounds have been measured with a Bragg spectrometer. The evident chemical shifts of the K₁ and K₂ lines were observed for the oxidation state both by electron capture and photoionization. The differences of the K peak energy (K₁ and K₂ peaks) with the modes of the excitation were also obtained. The K peaks of⁵¹Cr shift to lower energy by ca. 0.5 eV than those of vanadium at the same oxidation state. This is because the probability of the electron shake up (and shake off) during the electron capture decay is extremely small, as compared to photoionization.     

Synthesis of α-alkyl- and α,α-dialkyl-β-phenyltryptamines

Transformed steroids. 121. Synthesis of the δ-lactone of 3β-acetoxy-16α-hydroxy-6-oxo-24-nor-5α-chol-17(20)-en-23-oic acid

The synthesis of the ¹⁷⁽²⁰⁾-16 analog of natural chiogralactone is described. Attempts to introduce a 6-oxo group directly into the -lactone proved unsuccessful, since the first stage — saponification — took place with the formation of three products: the 3-hydroxy--lactone, the 3-hydroxy-²⁰⁽²²⁾-lactone, and the 15,17(20)-dienoic acid. The synthesis of the desired compound was effected from the ethyl ester of the 5,16-dienoic acid by the scheme 3-acetate3-tosylate6-hydroxy-3,5-cyclosteroid6-oxo-3,5-cyclosteroid6-oxo-5H--lactone. It has been shown that the cyclopropane ring in the 3,5-cyclosteroid -lactone is extremely stable under the conditions of acid treatments.N. D.

Extraction of Polonium from Aqueous α-Hydroxyisobutyric Acid Solutions Using Dioctyl Sulphide, Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301 or Cyanex 302 in Toluene

A study of the extraction of polonium from aqueous solutions containing -hydroxyisobutyric acid (-HIBA) was performed with four different extractants, di-n-octyl sulphide (DOS), Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301 and Cyanex 302, dissolved in toluene. The extracted complex for DOS at low -HIBA concentrations is most likely PoO(-HIB)₂·2DOS, while at higher -HIBA concentrations there seems to be a solvating effect implicating an extracted complex of the type PoO(-HIB)₂(-HIBA)₂·2DOS. For the extraction of polonium with Cyanex 272 the results are inconclusive. The extracted complex is either PoOA₂ or PoO(-HIB)₂·2HA. For extraction with Cyanex 301 or Cyanex 302 the major extracted species does not contain any -HIBA molecules. The neutral species in both cases is PoOA₂, extracted at low extractant concentrations, while at higher extractant concentrations a complex of the type PoOA₂·xHA is extracted. The extraction of polonium increases in the order Cyanex 272 < DOS < Cyanex 302 < Cyanex 301.     

Circular Dichroism Spectra of 5- and 7-Bromo-6-ketosteroids

Circulardichroismspectra of 5- and 7-bromo-6-ketosteroidsof the cholestane and stigmastane serieswere studied. A negative Cotton effect corresponding to the n-* -transition of the ketone was observed in the CD spectra of 5-bromo-6-ketosteroids at 300 nm. The analogous Cotton effect was positive in CD spectra of 7-bromo-6-ketosteroids.     

α-hydroaxyalkyl(benzyl)furozans and α-hydroxyalkyl(benzyl)furoxans synthesis and reactivity

A general and simple preparative method for the synthesis of -hydroxyalky(benzyl)furazan and -furoxan derivatives is proposed, The method involves reduction of acyl or ethoxycarbonyl substituents in these heterocyclic compounds with NaBH₄ in ethanol. Based on the alcohols thus prepared, a number of previously unknown functional derivatives (-nitroxyalkyl--haloalkyl-, and -azidoalkylfurazans and -furoxans) have been synthesized.Translated fromInvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Localization of Iα and Iβ phases in algal cellulose revealed by acid treatments

Highly crystalline I-rich type Cladophora cellulose, which had been kept in never-dried condition, was treated in 60wt% sulfuric acid at 100°C, for 1–48h. The cellulose microcrystals thus obtained were analysed by X-ray diffractometry, FT-IR, and transmission electron microscopy. The I component was found to be more degraded than the I component. The cellulose I/I ratios of the samples acid-treated for 0, 24, and 48 h were about 8:2, 6:4, and 4:6, respectively. After the acid treatment, the microcrystals became narrower in width, and very sharp at their ends. These results indicate that the I phase is mostly located at the surface of the microcrystals, which is morphologically more susceptible to the acid treatment.

Chiral complex-forming and trans-phase transfer agents. 6.1E and13C NMR study of complex-forming ability of homotopic 18-crown-6-ethers based on D-sorbitol and D-mannitol with chiral ammonium salts

It was found using the¹H and¹³C NMR methods that (2R, 12R)-disubstituted derivatives of 18-crown-6-ether containing the residues of l,32,4-di-O-ethylidene(Ia) and 1,32,4-di-O-benzylidene-D-sorbitol (IIa) as substituents and 1,43,6dianhydro-D-mannito-18-crown-6 (III) form stable 11 complexes with -phenylethylammonium, O-methyl--phenylglycinium, O-methylalaninium, O-methyl--phenylalaninium, O-methylglycinium hexafluorophosphates, and display an enantiodifferentiating ability with respect to racemates of these salts. In the extraction of the chiral ammonium salts, coronand (Ia) exhibits a low (DCE 1.091.10) enantioselectivity with respect to (R)-enantiomers of -phenylethyl ammonium and O-methyl--phenylglycinium hexafluorophosphates, while coronand (IIa) displays enantioselectivity with respect to (S)-enantiomer of the latter (DCE 0.82). Coronand (III) does not display enantioselectivity in complexes with racemates of these salts.For previous communication, see [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2492–2500, November, 1989.     

Thermodynamics of Binding of α:-Cyclodextrin to Straight-Chain Alkyl Derivatives in Aqueous Solution

Apparent standard Gibbs energy, enthalpy, entropy, and heatcapacity data of the interactions of -cyclodextrin (CD) to some n-carboxylatesH(CH₂)_nCOO^- (n = 4–6), are determined by isothermal titration microcalorimetryat different temperatures in phosphate buffer, pH 9.0, assuming a 1 : 1 model indilute solution. Modelling of contributions of the thermodynamic properties of the solutionindicates that CD undergoes conformational change upon binding to homologousseries of n-carboxylates, n-alcohols, ,-alkane dicarboxylates and ,-alkane diols.
