Stopped-flow determination of 2-mercaptopyrimidines as inductors of the iodine-azide reaction

A stopped-flow method for the determination of 2-mercaptopyrimidine and its 14 derivatives by the iodine-azide has been elaborated. Spectrophotometric detection was applied and the decrease in the absorbance of the iodine-starch complex was monitored at 595 nm within 5 s. The effect of the concentration of the reagents on the rate of the reaction was investigated and a kinetic method for determination of compounds is proposed. 2-Mercaptopyrimidines can be determined at 10⁻⁶ to 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ level and the relative standard deviation is below 1%. The elaborated method has been applied to the determination of 6-methyl- and 6-propyl-2-thiouracil in drugs.     

Determination of lead and silver in copper blister by isotope excited X-ray fluorescence

The energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence method of Pb and Ag determination in metallic copper is described. Radioisotopic sources of⁵⁷Co and²⁴¹Am/target have been used for excitation and Si(Li) and hyperpure Ge spectrometers for spectra analysis. The standard deviation of Pb and Ag determination for a single measurement is 0.015 and 0.012%, respectively.     

Intramolecular hydrogen bonds in crystals of thiophosphorylbenzopyrane derivatives – X-ray and FT-IR studies

The crystal structures of two new benzopyrane derivatives are analyzed and compared with previous X-ray investigations on related compounds. A particular attention is focused on intramolecular interactions. For the chromone derivatives (1 and 3) only one kind of interaction is possible, i.e., N–HO, whereas for the coumarine derivatives (2 and 4) two types of intramolecular hydrogen bonding are observed – N–HO and O–HN. Two types of H-bond for coumarine derivatives are the result of the existence of two tautomeric forms – enamine and iminoenol. Combined spectroscopic, NMR and IR measurements confirm such tautomeric equilibrium in solution. The influence of the additional intermolecular hydrogen bonds on the stabilization of tautomeric forms in crystals is also discussed here.     

Complexes of bivalent metal cations in electrospray mass spectra of common organic compounds

In the standard electrospray ionization mass spectra of many common, low molecular mass organic compounds dissolved in methanol, peaks corresponding to ions with formula [3M + Met](2+) (M = organic molecule, Met = bivalent metal cation) are observed, sometimes with significant abundances. The most common are ions containing Mg(2+), Ca(2+) and Fe(2+). Their presence can be easily rationalized on the basis of typical organic reaction work-up procedures. The formation of [3M + Met](2+) ions has been studied using N-FMOC-proline methyl ester as a model organic ligand and Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Sr(2+), Ba(2+), Fe(2+), Ni(2+), Mn(2+), Co(2+) and Zn(2+) chlorides or acetates as the sources of bivalent cation. It was found that all ions studied form [3M + Met](2+) complexes with N-FMOC-proline methyl ester, some of them at very low concentrations. Transition metal cations generally show higher complexation activity in comparison with alkaline earth metal cations. They are also more specific in the formation of [3M + Met](2+) complexes. In the case of alkaline earth metal cations [2M + Met](2+) and [4M + Met](2+) complex ions are also observed. It has been found that [3M + Met](2+) complex ions undergo specific fragmentation at relatively low energy, yielding fluorenylmethyl cation as a major product. [M + Na](+) ions are much more stable and their fragmentation is not as specific.     

Does a fluorinated Lewis acid catalyst change the molecular mechanism of the decomposition process of nitroethyl carboxylates?

The molecular mechanism of the decomposition reaction of nitroethyl benzoates catalyzed by Lewis acids based on boron element—BH₃ and BF₃—was studied using density functional theory methods. These reactions take place much faster than the uncatalyzed process. However, the presence of fluorinated Lewis acids has a unique influence on the molecular mechanism. In the case of BF₃, a change from a one-step mechanism to a two-step one involving a zwitterionic intermediate is observed.     

Electrochemical properties of positive electrode in lead-acid battery modified by ammonium-based ionic liquids

The influence of selected types of ammonium ionic liquid (AIL) additives on corrosion and functional parameters of lead-acid battery positive electrode was examined. AILs with a bisulfate anion used in the experiments were classified as protic, aprotic, monomeric, and polymeric, based on the structure of their cation. Working electrodes consisted of a lead-calcium-tin alloy utilized in the industry for manufacturing current collectors of positive electrodes in lead-acid batteries (LABs). This alloy was used in the first part of the study for the evaluation of corrosion intensity and stability of electrolyte with AIL additives. In the second part, the grid made of the examined alloy was covered with positive active mass, the composition of which was modified by selected AIL. The selection of an appropriate substance was made based on parameters such as corrosion potential, corrosion current, polarization resistance, and hydrogen and oxygen evolution potentials. Techniques such as linear sweep voltammetry, corrosimetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used. The conducted measurements revealed that polymeric AIL additive had an exceptionally positive influence on the inhibition of the corrosion process in LAB and electrochemical window of the electrolyte. The influence of this compound on the specific capacity and resistance of the active mass was also discussed.

Discovery and Enumeration of Organic‐Chemical and Biomimetic Reaction Cycles within the Network of Chemistry

Analysis of the chemical‐organic knowledge represented as a giant network reveals that it contains millions of reaction sequences closing into cycles. Without realizing it, independent chemists working at different times have jointly created examples of cyclic sequences that allow for the recovery of useful reagents and for the autoamplification of synthetically important molecules, those that mimic biological cycles, and those that can be operated one‐pot.     

Synthesis of a cisplatin derivative from lithocholic acid

A new steroidal-platinum(II) hybrid compound was synthesized using a simple and efficient methodology. The synthesis was performed by a convergent approach with cross metathesis (CM) as a key step. An olefin derived from lithocholic acid and a vinyl substituted ethylenediamine derived from l-serine were used as chiral building blocks, which were combined in the CM step. The most important advantage of this method was the utilization of l-serine as a cheap, stereoisomerically pure substrate. A steroid with a diamino system in the side chain was subjected to reaction with potassium tetrachloroplatinate to obtain the target platinum(II) complex. Attempts to synthesize similar diamine systems using the asymmetric Strecker reaction were unsuccessful.
