Boundary-layer averaging for standard systems with lag

Thekth-order asymptotic solution of a standard system with lag is constructed along trajectories calculated according to the averaging scheme of A. N. Filatov. If the perturbation parameter 1, then the use of the step method for finding the solution is connected with cumbersome calculations because the number of required steps is inversely proportional to . We suggest another approach in which the step method is used onlyk times fort [0,k] and justify the asymptotic method.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 46, No. 10 pp. 1362–1368, October, 1994.     

Hydropolymerization of ethylene,initiated by carbon monoxide,on Co-zeolite catalysts at temperatures below 100°C

Conclusions Both the extent of C₂H₄ hydropolymerization, initiated by 0.01% CO, on Co zeolites at a temperature below 100°C, and the initiating effect increase symbatically with increase in the ratio of SiO₂/Al₂O₃ in the zeolite in the investigated limits (from 2 to 10).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 894–896, April, 1974.     

Synthetic analogs of active centers of iron-sulfur proteins: Reactions with phosphates

The interaction of synthetic analogs of active centers of iron-sulfur proteins with phosphates of different structures was studied. It was shown that the process involves ligand exchange and obeys the first-order reaction kinetic equation. The most rapid exchange occurred with the most acidic compound diphenyl phosphate.A. E.

Reactions of 10-telluroniaanthracene perchlorates with nucleophiles

10-Telluroniaanthracene perchlorates react with nucleophiles (X^–=halide, hydroxide, methoxide) via intermediate free telluroxanthyl radicals. With 9-aryl-10-telluroniaanthracene perchlorates, high yields of 9-aryl-9-X-telluroxanthenes are obtained, but with 10-telluroniaanthracene the principal product is 9,9-bis(telluroxathenyl) as a result of rapid competitive dimerization.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 691–695, May, 1989.     

Mass-spectrometric behavior of some cyano-substituted 4-(β-chloroethylmercapto)-sym-triazines

Intense [M-Cl]⁺ and [M-CT₂=CCNCl]⁺ ion peaks are characteristic for the mass spectra of 4-(-chloro--cyanoethylmercapto)-sym-triazines. The introduction of monoalkylamino groups into the 2 and 6 positions of the heteroring does not lead to the development of [M-HCl]⁺ ion peaks in the mass spectra or to a change in the characteristic fragmentation pathways.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1268–1270, September, 1982.     

Peculiarities of the chemical properties of vicinally disubstituted veratrole and synthesis of 1-methyl-4,5-dimethoxybenzimidazole derivatives

Various paths for the synthesis of 4-methylamino-3-aminoveratrole (I) from 4-amino-3-nitroveratrole (II) were investigated, and it was found that I can be obtained in a high overall yield of 65% through the tosyl derivative of II. 1-Methyl-4,5-dimethoxybenzimidazolone, 1-methyl-4,5-dimethoxybenzimidazole and its 2-phenyl-, 2-chloro-, and 2-dimethylamino derivatives were synthesized on the basis of I in order to investigate their biological activity. It was established that the chemical properties of vicinally disubstituted veratrole, particularly the increased basicity of II, are determined to a significant degree by steric strains caused by bulky substituents. It is shown that 85% formic acid can be successfully used in place of 98–100% formic acid for the N-formylation of aromatic amines with a mixture of formic acid and acetic anhydride.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1387–1392, October, 1970.     

Partial purification and some properties of a hemolymph lectin from panstrongylus megistus (Hemiptera,Reduviidae)

Hemagglutinating activity was studied in homogenates of three embryonic stages, and in the hemolymph of most instar larvae and in adult insects of Panstrongylus megistus, an important Chagas' disease vector in Brazil. A hemolymph lectin from the 5th instar larvae of P. megistus was purified through a biospecific adsorption by using formaldehyde-treated erythrocytes. The lectin fraction was desorbed with 0.2M D-galactose in 0.15M NaCl. The lectin fraction activity was inhibited by L-rhamnose, D-lactose, raffinose, D-galactose, and D-fucose. The electrophoretic pattern to native and acidic proteins resolved lectin fraction in two main bands with lectin activity. These bands were considered as multiple molecular forms or isoforms of P. megistus lectin. Under denaturating conditions, isoform 1 showed one band with apparent mol wt (MW) of 64 kDa while isoform 2 was resolved in two bands with MW of 64 and 33 kDa.
