Kinetics and Mechanism of Monomolecular Heterolysis of Commercial Organohalogen Compounds: XXXV.1 Solvation Effects on the Activation Parameters of Heterolysis of 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclopentane and 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane. Correlation Analysis of Solvation Effects

Kinetics of heterolysis of 1-bromo-1-methylcyclopentane and -cyclohexane in protic and aprotic solvents were studied. Correlation analysis of the effect of solvent parameters on G , H , and S was performed.     

Effects of pressure and solvent on the diffusion of aromatic compounds through polymers

The diffusion of six azo and five anthraquinone derivatives through nylon 6, poly(ethylene terephthalate) and secondary cellulose acetate films were studied under high hydrostatic pressures of up to 3000 bar and at temperatures 80–130 °C, by analyzing the diffusion profiles yielded in a stacked multiple film, placed in the solution of the diffusant. It was found that the diffusion coefficient,D, of the diffusant decreased with increasing pressure, giving a linear relationship between InD and the pressure, the slope of which gave the activation volume for the diffusion,V . It was revealedV increased linearly with increasing intrinsic molecular volume of the diffusant,V _w , the slopes being different between the azo and the anthraquinone derivatives. The ratio ofV toV _w (V /V _w ) ranged from 0.13 to 0.93, depending in a sensitive manner on the degree of swelling of the polymer matrix which in turn was varied by the solvent. The overall results could be explained in accordance with the formulation,V _{f, local} +V =V _w , whereV _{f, local} represents the free volume contribution. It was proposed thatV _w is increased by solvation when the solvent is good for the diffusant.     

NMR Study of Non-freezing Water in Protein-Modified Carbon Adsorbents

Temperature dependences of ¹H NMR spin–spin relaxation were studied for the non-freezing water at the surface of carbon matrices modified with proteins (human serum albumin (HSA) and mouse immunoglobulin (MIG)) in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide. The entropy, S , and enthalpy, H , values characterizing molecular mobility in non-freezing water were estimated. The compensation effect was observed for all modified samples, which is well approximated by the linear dependence of the type H = T ₀S + H ₀. The compensation temperature T ₀ = 231 ± 33 corresponds to such a state of non-freezing water, when the effect of modifying additives on the isobaric potential of molecular mobility activation in the non-freezing water, G , is minimal. The G has approximately constant value equal to H ₀ = 24.2 ± 0.5 kJ/mol. Modification of the base carbon matrix with MIG protein results in higher structurization of the non-freezing water, whereas HSA reduces this structurization. The observed effects are explained in terms of the hydration of modifying agents and also by the peculiarities of their location on the surface of carbon adsorbent.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Monomolecular Heterolysis of Commercial Organohalogen Compounds: XXXVI.1 Solvent Effect on the Activation Parameters of Heterolysis of 1-Methyl-1-chlorocyclohexane. Correlation Analysis of Solvation Effects in Heterolysis of 1-Methyl-1-chlorocyclohexane and 1-Methyl-1-chlorocyclopentane

The kinetics of heterolysis of 1-methyl-1-chlorocyclohexane in six protic and eight aprotic solvents at 25-50°C was studied by the verdazyl method; v = k[RCl], E1 mechanism. The correlation analysis of the solvent effects on the activation free energy G , enthalpy H , and entropy S of heterolysis of 1-methyl-1-chlorocyclohexane and 1-methyl-1-chlorocyclopentane was performed for the same sets of solvents.     

Band structure of even and ions of odd polyenes

The analysis of experimental data for singlet transitions (E _n) of even polyenes (I), cations (II) and anions (III) of odd polyenes show that for infinite chains E (I)/E (II)=E (I)/E (III) = 2:1. It is shown that the energy gap is equal for the three systems. In cases (II) and (III) there is a level (NBMO) in the gap which is vacant in (II) and occupied in (III). That is why the first optical transition in (II) and (III) depends on the semiwidth of the gap.     

Atropisomerism of phosphorus-containing N-aryl carbamates. Experimental and computational data

Studies by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis revealed hindered rotation of the aromatic substituent about the C_Ar—N bond in ortho-substituted (except for o-fluorine-substituted) phosphorus-containing carbamates. The energy barriers to rotation (G _c ) and coalescence temperatures (T _c) determined by the coalescence method increase with increasing volume of the ortho substituent. Conformations resulting from rotation of the ortho-substituted aryl group about the C_Ar—N bond were analyzed by quantum-chemical methods, potential curves were constructed, and differences between the conformational energies and the heights of rotation barriers were estimated. The theoretical rotation barriers change in parallel with the experimental values of G _c ; however, the theoretical values are much smaller in magnitude.     

The complexation of 2,3-anthracenedicarboxylate by β- and γ-cyclodextrins in mixed solvent systems as studied by induced circular dichroism. The role of cosolvent hydrophobicity

The complexation of 2,3-anthracenedicarboxylate (ADC) by- and-cyclodextrins in water containing an organic solvent has been studied by induced circular dichroism. It has been shown that an increase of organic solvent ratio causes the degradation of the 1:1 ADC:-CD complex and the liberation of one guest molecule from the 2:1 ADC:-CD complex in water. The higher the hydrophobicity of the cosolvent, the weaker the complexation of ADC by-CD.     

Die Ringinversions-Barriere in [2.2]Metacyclophan

From racemization studies on optically active [2.2]metacyclophanes substituted in position 4, the parameters of activation for the inversion of the tenmembered ring were found to be: G ₄₂₃ =31.5 kcal/mole, H =27.5 kcal/mole and S =–10 Cl/mole.Racemization does not occurvia bond forming or breaking; the value for the inversion barrier is not affected by substituents in position 4 and therefore corresponds to the value of unsubstituted [2.2]metacyclophane, whereas substituents in the bridge exert a distinct influence. These results can easily be explained on the basis of the isoconformational concept.

Nucleation of the β-modification of isotactic polypropylene

The effects of the organic pigments C.I.P. RED 177 and C.I.P. Yellow 83 as nucleating agents on the crystallization of polypropylene were studied by DSC. The anthraquinone pigment exerted a significant effect, resulting in structural modifications with lower melting point, and particularly the -modification. The DSC curves exhibit four transition regions, with the following temperature intervals: I. 415–417 K, II. 423–425 K, III. 430–432 K and IV. 438–439 K. For evaluation of the -nucleation effect of pigments, the ratio (H ₁+H ₂)/(H ₃+H ₄) was suggested.     

Correlated rotation of aryl substituents in diarylmethyl-, diarylphosphine- and related fragments. An empirical force field study

Summary Ground state structures and conformational interconversion mechanisms of 25 diaryl compoundsAr ₂ Z (Z=CH₂, CHR, CH(OH), P-CH₃) were analyzed. For tetra(ortho-alkyl)substituted diaryls the cogwheeling mechanism was found as the threshold mechanism. A shift from the cogwheeling mechanism to interconversions via 2-ring flips is found in di(ortho-alkyl)substituted compounds. The ground state structures and interconversion mechanisms of diarylmethylphosphines are very similar to those of the related 1,1-diarylethanes. The interconversion barrier for correlated conrotation of the aryl rings in di(tert-butylphenyl)methanol (20) was measured by low temperature NMR and is in excellent agreement with the calculated value for the 2-ring flipT₂ (G (exp.)=48 kJ mol^–1; G (calc.)=54 kJ mol^–1).

Korrelierte Rotation von Arylringen in Diarylmethyl-, Diarylphosphin- und verwandten Fragmenten. Eine Untersuchung mit Hilfe der empirischen Kraftfeldmethode

Zusammenfassung Die Grundzustandskonformationen und die konformativen Interkonversions-mechanismen von 25 DiarylverbindungenAr ₂ Z (Z=CH₂, CHR, CH(OH), P-CH₃) wurden analysiert. Für tetra(ortho-alkyl)substituierte Diaryle wurde der cogwheeling-Mechanismus als der Interkonversionsmechanismus niedrigster Energie ermittelt. In di(ortho-alkyl)substituierten Verbindungen werden nicht der cogwheeling-Mechanismus sondern 2-ring flips als Interkonversionsmechanismen gefunden. Die Grundzustände und Interkonversionsmechanismen für Diarylmethylphosphine sind sehr ähnlich jenen der verwandten 1,1-Diarylethane. Die Interkonversionsbarriere für die korrelierte Bewegung der Arylringe von Di(tert-butylphenyl)methanol (20) wurde mittels Tieftemperatur-NMR-Spektroskopie ermittelt und ist in sehr guter Übereinstimmung mit dem berechneten Wert für den 2-Ring flipT₂ (G (exp.)=48 kJ mol^–1; G (calc.)=54 kJ mol^–1).

Solubility Study of Nimodipine Inclusion Complexation with α- and β-Cyclodextrin and some Substituted Cyclodextrins

The solubility of nimodipine was measured in aqueous solutions of the following cyclodextrins: -cyclodextrin (-CD), hydroxypropyl--CD (HP--CD), -cyclodextrin (-CD), random substituted methyl--CD (M--CD), three hydroxypropyl--CDs (HP--CD) with mutually different average degree of substitution, and hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HP--CD). From the determined linear solubility diagrams the values of the binding constant K₁₁ of the inclusion complexes of nimodipine with the respective CDs were evaluated. The -CDs efficiently solubilized sparingly soluble nimodipine, the highest value of K₁₁ was found for M--CD (1680 M^-1), followed by -CD (550 M^-1) and HP--CDs, where the higher degree of substitution lowered K₁₁. Only slight solubilization of nimodipine was observed in the solutions of the -CDs and HP--CD.     

Solid-Phase Extraction and Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Amounts of Mercury in Natural Samples

A sensitive and selective solid phase spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of inorganic mercury is described. Hg²⁺ was sorbed on a silica gel-packed column as an Hg²⁺–N,N-bis(2-mercaptophenyl)ethanediamide (H₂L) complex. The Hg²⁺ complex was eluted from the column using 7mL of acetone. Various parameters including pH, column flow rate, and ligand concentration were optimized. The complex was found to obey Beers law from 2.3 to 73.7µgmL^–1 within the optimum range when the preconcentration factor was two. The effective molar absorption coefficient at 523nm was 1.17×10³Lmol^–1cm^–1 at 523nm. The concentration limits in Beers law dropped from 0.09 to 2.95µgmL^–1 within the optimum range when the preconcentration factor was 50. The relative standard deviation at a concentration level of 5µgmL^–1 Hg²⁺ (9 repetitive determinations) was 1.6%. The detection limits are 0.34µgmL^–1 and 0.015µgmL^–1 when the preconcentration factors are 2 and 50, respectively. The method has been used for routine determination of trace levels of Hg²⁺ in natural waters. The potential application of this method for the removal of Hg²⁺ from natural samples (sea water and lake water) spiked with 100ngmL^–1 of Hg²⁺ was studied. In order to validate the proposed method, LGC 6156 (harbour sediment – extractable metals) was analysed by this method. The results proved that excellent extraction of Hg²⁺ from both natural water samples was obtained by solid phase extraction using N,N-bis(2-mercaptophenyl) ethanediamide.

A thermodynamic and structural study of the interactions of pyridino- and diketopyridino-18-crown-6 ligands with some primary organic ammonium cations

Equilibrium constant (K), enthalpy change (H), and entropy change (S) values have been determined calorimetrically at 25°C in 90%MeOH 10%H₂O (v/v) for the interactions of pyridino-18-crown-6 (P18C6) and diketopyridino-18-crown-6 (K₂P18C6) with perchlorate salts of ammonium, benzylammonium,-phenylethylammonium,-phenylethylammonium, and-(1-naphthyl)ethyl-ammonium cations. The crystal structure of the complex of P18C6 with benzylammonium perchlorate was determined by X-ray crystallography. The¹H 1D and 2D NMR spectra of some of these complexes were used to elucidate their structural features in solution. The logK values for the interaction of the ammonium cations with P18C6 are larger than those with K₂P18C6, probably due to the higher degree of structural flexibility of P18C6. Ligand K₂P18C6 displays appreciable - interaction with the-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium cation, but not with the-phenylethylammonium cation.- interaction between ligand and cationSupplementary Data relating to this article are deposited with the British Library as Supplementary Publication No SUP 00000 (22 pages)     

Transformed steroids

A preparative method for 9a-hydroxylation of ⁵-3-hydroxysteroids using the fungi ofCircinella sp. 10Kh-1220 not capable of modifying theA ring has been developed. It is established that the yields of the main and the side products greatly depend on the transformation conditions, mycelium age, and the structure of the steroid substrate. Under the optimal transformation conditions novel 9-hydroxysubstituted derivatives of androstenolone, pregnenolone, 16-dehydro-16,17-epoxy-, and-16-methoxypregnenolone have been obtained in 36–80 % yields.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of allyl alcohol byN-bromosuccinimide

The kinetics of oxidation of allyl alcohol byN-bromosuccinimide (NBS) has been studied at 35 °C in aqueous medium. The reaction shows first order dependence on bothNBS and allyl alcohol. In fairly high acid concentration, there is no change in the rate of the reaction but at low acid concentration, the rate is considerably enhanced. There is no primary salt effect. At varying mercuric acetate concentrations, the rate constant remains the same. But in the absence of mercuric acetate, the rate is enhanced. The kinetic parameters,E _a,Arrhenius factorA, H, G and S have been calculated. A rate law in agreement with experimental results has been derived. A mechanism is proposed.

Kinetik und Mechanismus der Oxidation von Allylalkohol mixN-Bromsuccinimid

Zusammenfassung Die Kinetik der Oxidation von Allylalkohol mitN-Bromsuccinimid (NBS) wurde bei 35 °C in wäßrigem Medium untersucht. Die Reaktion zeigt erste Ordnung gegenüberNBS und Allylalkohol. Bei relativ hoher Säurekonzentration zeigt sich keine Änderung der Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit, bei niedriger Säurekonzentration wird die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit beträchtlich erhöht. Es wurde kein primärer Salzeffekt festgestellt. Bei varriierender Quecksilberacetatkonzentration bleibt die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit gleich, bei Abwesenheit von Quecksilberacetat wird jedoch die Geschwindigkeitskonstante erhöht. Die kinetischen Parameter,E _a, derArrheniusfaktorA, H , G und S wurden bestimmt. Ein Geschwindigkeitsgesetz in Übereinstimmung mit den experimentellen Befunden wurde abgeleitet und ein Mechanismus vorgeschlagen.

     

Trans-cis Photoisomerization of 1-Methyl-4-(4′-hydroxystyryl)pyridinium in inclusion complexes ofβ-cyclodextrin and its derivatives

The effects of -cyclodextrin (-CyD), heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (DMCyD) and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (TMCyD) ontrans-cis photoisomerization of 1-ethyl-4-(4-hydroxystyryl)pyridinium (POH) have been studied in aqueous solutions. The ratio of [cis]/[trans] for POH in the photostationary state at pH 8.54 was remarkably reduced by the presence of CyD or DMCyD. The reduction of the [cis]/[trans] ratio in the photostationary state was explained in terms of the shift of the equilibrium of POH ₊ ^trans PO _trans + H^– toward PO _trans formation. The binding constants of CyD and DMCyD for PO _trans were 2.00- and 1.36-fold larger than those for POH ₊ ^trans , respectively. The binding constants of TMCyD for both species are much smaller than those of CyD and DMCyD. This result indicates that PO _trans , which has a betain structure, forms stable complexes with CyD and DMCyD with its hydrophobic parts inside and the charged parts outside the CyD cavities.     

Enhanced dissolution and oral bioavailability of α-tocopheryl esters by dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin complexation

Inclusion complexation of heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (DM--CyD) with -tocopheryl acetate and -tocopheryl nicotinate in aqueous solution was studied by the solubility method. The aqueous solubilities of the esters were about 10⁵ times increased by DM--CyD complexation. The phase-solubility diagram of the tocopheryl ester-DM--CyD systems showed a typicalA _p type, and the stability constants (K) of high-order complexes were estimated by analyzing the upward curvature of the diagrams. The solid complex of -tocopheryl nicotinate with DM--CyD in a molar ratio of 12 was prepared by the kneading method. The dissolution rate of the solid complex was much greater than that of the drug itself, and the rapidly dissolving form of -tocopheryl nicotinate, as an example, showed a markedly increased bioavailability (about 70-fold) after oral administration to fasted dogs.
