Mechanism of reactions of photocatalytic synthesis of chlorohydrins

A mechanism of photocatalytic synthesis of chlorohydrins from olefins and peroxo complexes of titanium (IV) is proposed. It consists of formation of radical-containing complexes, their reactions with olefins, and decomposition of the α-oxides obtained by hydrogen chlorides. L. V.

Calculation of enthalpies of hydrogenation of hydrocarbons

Sets of hydrogen molecule equivalents have been developed which permit the calculation of hydrogenation of different types of carbon-carbon bonds from ab initio total energies (3-21G and 6-31G* basis sets, and, to a more limited extent, for MP2/6-31G* data) of reactants and products. The calculated enthalpies of hydrogenation are in good agreement with experiment for unstrained molecules, with average errors on the order of 2 kcal/mol. The 6-31G* equivalents allow the enthalpies for strained molecules to be calculated accurately, but the 3-21G equivalents do not. The equivalents for both basis sets have been tested by calculating the enthalpies of hydrogenation of carbon-carbon bonds in nitrogen- and oxygen-containing organic molecules, free radicals, and classical carbocations. The results are in good agreement with experiment in most cases.

Influence of viscosity of medium on processes of oxygen quenching of excited states of mesoporphyrin

The oxygen quenching rate constants for singlet and triplet excited states of the dimethyl ester of mesoporphyrin IX increase with decreasing viscosity of the medium and reach a maximum at a viscosity of approximately 0.4 mPa·sec, after which the rate constants begin to decrease. The drop in rate constant with increasing fluidity of the medium may be related to a nonequilibrium character of the elementary act in the interaction of the reactants in the solvent cage. In viscous media such as isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, and isoamyl alcohol, the reaction radius is greater than the sum of the radii of the reacting particles. The long-range character of these processes is due to the relatively weak dependence of the quenching probability on distance.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 25, No. 2, pp. 161–167, March–April, 1989.

Heats of formation and kinetics of decomposition of nitroalkanes

Heats of formation of solid, liquid, and gaseous nitroalkanes have been shown mostly to obey group additivity. Group values have been obtained for carbon atoms attached to one, two, and three nitro groups. The heat of formation of 1,1,1,3,5,5,5,-heptanitropentane, either solid or liquid, cannot be fitted to the scheme, even allowing for gauche effects. The differences between observed and estimated values for 1,1,1-fluorodinitroalkanes and 1,2-dinitroethane are larger than expected and should be further investigated. Activation energies have been calculated for decomposition by five-center elimination of HONO from mononitro- and dinitroalkanes using thermochemistry and estimated activation energies for the reverse reactions. The key data for these estimates were previously reported activation energies for the decomposition of nitroethane and 1,2-dinitropropane. The calculations also gave values for the heats of formation (in kcal/mole) of nitroethylene 12.4, and 1-nitropropylene 5.6, and 2-nitropropylene 1.6. Activation energies were calculated for the competing unimolecular reaction, C? N bond fission, from thermochemistry and previously reported activation energies for the decomposition of 1,1- and 2,2-dinitropropane. Comparison of Arrhenius parameters for the two competing processes, namely, HONO and C? N bond fission, shows that, for the geminate dinitroethanes and dinitropropanes, C? N bond fission is faster about 370°K and, for the mononitroalkanes and for all the mononitroalkanes and dinitroalkanes, C? N bond fission is faster above 770°K.     

Effect of composition of coordination sphere on value of constant of additional hyperfine structure of EPR spectra

Conclusions Replacing the oxygen atoms by sulfur atoms in the coordination sphere of nitrogen-containing copper complexes leads to a substantial increase in the constant of the additional hyperfine structure from the nitrogen atoms, and consequently also to an increase in the degree of covalency of the Cu-N bonds.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 704–706, March, 1974.The authors thank V.

Gas-chromatographic determination of the composition of the volatile components of the oleoresins of some species of conifers

Using the method of analytical GLC in a glass capillary column, the compositions have been studied of the volatile fractions of the oleoresins of five species of conifers:Larix decidua,Pinus strobus,Pinus mugo,Picea excelsa, andPinus abies. In the oleoresins 21 monoterpene and 22 sesquiterpene compounds were identified from their relative retention times and with the aid of additives. The main components of the volatile fractions of the oleoresins were - and -pinenes and 3-carene among the monoterpenes, and longifolene caryophyllene, - and -cadinenes and -murolene among the sesquiterpene compounds. The quantitative analysis of the fractions was carried out by the method of internal normalization from averaged correlation coefficients.Institute of Organic Chemistry, Siberian Branch, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Novosibirsk.

Dichroism of absorption and polarization of phosphorescence of molecules of the closed form of nitrobenzospirothiopyran

The spectral-polarization characteristics of absorption and phosphorescence of molecules of the initial form of nitro-substituted indolinospirobenzothiopyran were studied in oriented polyethylene films and in solutions with different polarity. An oscillator model of the electron transitions responsible for the formation of absorption and luminescence spectra was suggested. It was established that the principal differences in the spectral and photophysical properties of the compound studied and its oxygen-containing analog are associated with the fact that the electronegativity of the S atom is lower than that of the O atom.

Neutral diterpenoids of oleoresins of five species of conifers of Transcarpathia

The compositions of the neutral diterpenoids of the oleoresins of five species of conifers growing in the Transcarpathia have been studied. It has been found that the oleoresins ofAbies alba M.,Larix decidua M., andPicea excelsa L. contain more than 50% of neutral diterpenoids. The group and qualitative compositions of the oxygen-containing diterpenoids have been determined. In the oleoresins ofAbies alba,Picea excelsa, andPicea abies tertiary alcohols — cis-abienol and isocembrol — predominate, while inLarix decidua the main component is the hydroxy ester larixyl acetate. Primary alcohols related to the resin acids have been found in all the oleoresins investigated. Features of the distribution of diterpenoids according to the species of conifers have been revealed. The results obtained are necessary for the chemotaxonomy of conifers of the family Pinceae.Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry, Siberian Branch, Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

Mononitration of derivatives of benzisatins

The mononitration of benz[e]-, benz[f]-, and benz[g]isatins and their tetrahydro derivatives was realized. It was established on the basis of an analysis of the ¹H NMR and mass spectra that substitution takes place at position 5 in the derivatives of the [g] series and at the position adjacent to the NH group in derivatives of the [f] series and in the case of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrobenz [e]isatin. This reaction path corresponds to the maximum electron density in the HOMO, calculated by the CNDO method. In benz[e]isatin, contrary to the general relationship and to the quantum-chemical prediction, the nitro group initially enters the ring annellated with the indole ring.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 60–65, January, 1989.

Determination of heats of detonation and influence of components of composite explosives on heats of detonation of high explosives

The heats of detonation of 20 simple high explosives and explosive mixtures were determined by means of an adiabatic detonation calorimeter designed by the authors. The results indicated that the performance of the instrument was reliable and the experimental data were very accurate. For explosive mixtures, there was a linear accumulative relationship between the heats of detonation of the explosive mixture and its components. Accordingly, the heats of detonation of explosive mixtures could be calculated directly from the heats of detonation of simple explosives and the characteristic heats of other components. The experiments showed that the gold or brass shell of the cylindrical charge could be substituted by a thick-walled porcelain shell, which had the advantage of cheapness.

     

NiY分子筛表面酸性影响其选择性吸附脱硫性能的机理研究

采用原位红外光谱技术,以噻吩、环己烯和苯为模型探针分子,分别考察单一烃分子在NiY分子筛上的吸附与反应行为以及噻吩与烯烃、芳烃间的竞争吸附和催化反应行为。单一探针分子吸附研究发现,NiY分子筛中与Ni物种相关的Lewis(L)酸位是噻吩的选择性吸附活性位;噻吩和环己烯在NiY分子筛中Brnsted(B)酸位上发生的质子化和低聚反应明显弱于HY分子筛。双探针分子竞争吸附研究发现,环己烯二聚体在NiY中强B酸位上的强化学吸附与噻吩存在显著的竞争吸附行为。另外,苯和噻吩在NiY上的竞争吸附现象在373K时明显减弱。由此,在选择性吸附脱硫过程中,减少吸附剂表面B酸中心可降低烯烃对噻吩的竞争吸附,另外适当提高吸附体系的温度可以有效避免芳烃对噻吩的竞争吸附。
