A convergent synthesis of octadeca-2E, 13Z-dienyl acetate, a pheromone component ofSynanthedon tipuliformis C.

A convergent synthesis of octadeca-2E, 13Z-dienyl acetate, a pheromone component ofSynanthedon tipuliformis C., has been developed. The synthesis is based on cross-coupling of 8-iodooct-2E-en-I-ol THP ether with dec-5Z-enyl bromide catalyzed by CuBr. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and characterization of sulfone-containing polyesters derived from 4,4′-dicarboxydiphenyl sulfone by direct polycondensation

Several sulfone-containing polyesters having inherent viscosities 0.43-0.19 dL g^?1 were prepared by direct polycondensation of 4,4′-dicarboxydiphenyl sulfone (DCDPS) with various aromatic and aliphatic diols, by p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and N,N′-dimethylformamide in pyridine solution. The polyesters were examined by elementary analysis, IR spectra, inherent viscosity, x-ray diffraction, solubility, DSC, and TGA. The diffraction diagram showed that all polyesters were crystalline except that obtained from bisphenol-A. All polymers were soluble in sulfonic acid (18M), phenol and p-chlorophenol, but not in acetone and toluene. These polymers obtained from aromatic bisphenols lost no mass below 325°C, but 10% loss of mass was recorded above 396°C in nitrogen. DCDPS copolymerized with isophthalic acid (IPA) and bisphenol-A had inherent viscosity up to 0.49 dL g^?1, with relatively narrow distribution of molar mass . © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

DFT investigation of sites of protonation of antitumor of 2‐(4‐aminophenyl)benzazoles in the gas phase and in solution

The proton affinity on each of the possible sites in the antitumor 2‐(4‐aminophenyl)benzazoles has been calculated at the B3LYP/6‐311G** level of theory in the gas phase and in solution. The N₃‐site of protonation is found to be strongly favored over the NH₂‐site for the studied compounds both in gas phase and in solution. The stability of N₃‐protonated species is explained by the resonance interaction of the NH₂‐group with the heterocyclic ring. The potential energy surface (PES) for the protonation process was studied at the density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP/6‐311++G** level of theory. Solvent effects on the PES were also examined using two models: Onsager self‐consistent field and polarizable continuum model (PCM). © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2005     

Phenol methylation over CrPO4 and CrPO4?AlPO4 catalysts

The vapor-phase catalytic alkylation of phenol with methanol and dimethyl carbonate on a series of differently prepared CrPO₄ (Cr/P=1) and CrPO₄-AlPO₄ (CrAIP) catalysts, has been studied at different temperatures (473–673 K). The reaction is first order in phenol, giving a mixture of O- and C-alkylated products (C-alkylation taking place preferentially at theortho-position). Moreover, dimethyl carbonate is a better methylating agent than methanol.

Successive substitution titration of calcium and magnesium with EGTA using thallium oxide electrode for indication

Summary It is demonstrated that magnesium can be titrated with EGTA in the presence of CaEDTA complex. On the basis of this substitution reaction, calcium and magnesium are successively titrated with EGTA, if an appropriate amount of CaEDTA is added after having reached the end point for calcium. Both end points are indicated amperometrically using a thallium oxide anode. The method has been tested for analysis of tap and mineral water. Larger amounts of manganese(II) render the calcium result too high. Moreover, the indication of both end points is affected by the electrode position of an inactive MnO₂-layer onto the Tl₂O₃-layer. Reducing agents destroy the Tl₂O₃-layer. These interferences can be overcome by addition of an appropriate amount of manganate(VII) to the sample.

Sukzessive Substitutionstitration von Calcium und Magnesium mit ÄGTA, indiziert mit der Thalliumoxidelektrode

Zusammenfassung Magnesium kann mit ÄGTA in Gegenwart des CaÄDTA-Komplexes titriert werden. Auf der Grundlage dieser Substitutionstitration können Calcium und Magnesium nacheinander mit ÄGTA titriert werden, wenn nach dem Endpunkt für Calcium eine ausreichende Menge CaÄDTA zugesetzt wird. Beide Endpunkte werden amperometrisch mit Hilfe einer Thalliumoxidelektrode angezeigt. Die Methode wurde an Leitungswasser und Mineralwasser geprüft. Größere Mengen Mangan(II) bewirken zu hohe Calciumwerte. Darüber hinaus wird die Indikation beider Endpunkte dadurch beeinträchtigt, daß sich eine inaktive MnO₂-Schicht auf der Tl₂O₃-Schicht elektrolytisch abscheidet. Reduzierende Stoffe zerstören die Tl₂O₃-Schicht. Diese Störungen können durch Zugabe von Permanganat vermieden werden.

     

Preparation and structural characterization of a hexanuclear molybdenum (II) cluster containing carboxylate ligands (Bu4N)2[Mo6(μ3-Cl)8(O2CMe)6]

The hexamolybdenum cluster complex [Mo₆(₃-Cl)₈(O₂CMe)₆]^2–, 1 was isolated as the Bu₄N⁺ salt in 71% yield from the reaction of (Bu₄N)₂[Mo₆(₃-Cl)₈Cl₆] with AgO₂CMe in CH₂Cl₂ solvent. The compound was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The cluster contains an octahedral arrangement of six molybdenum atoms with eight chloride ligands bridging the eight trianglar faces and six carboxylate ligands terminally coordinated through one oxygen atom to each of the six molybdenum atoms. Crystal data: space group =P2₁/n,a=10.713(3)Å,b=14.43(1)Å,c=21.919(4)Å, =94.37(2)°,Z=2, 1965 reflections,R=0.036.     

Fluorinated monomer–styrene copolymer latex particles: I. kinetic studies in a soap-free aqueous medium

Soap-free emulsion copolymerization of 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl acrylate (3FEA) with styrene was carried out by using potassium persulfate as an initiator, and the effects of the weight fraction of 3FEA in the monomer feed on the kinetics and the particle size were investigated. Monomer conversions were followed by a gravimetric method, revealing that the overall polymerization rate increased exponentially with an increase in the weight fraction of 3FEA. According to dynamic light scattering measurement, the final particle size was found to decrease with an increase in the weight fraction of 3FEA. The number of particles for 3FEA homopolymerization was roughly twice as large as that at the fraction of 0.9, although both fractions had the almost same polymerization rates. These results indicate that soap-free emulsion homopolymerization of 3FEA would proceed not only inside the polymer particles but also in the aqueous phase throughout the polymerization.     

Chemische Ionisations-Massenspektrometrie von Organophosphors?ureinsecticiden mit verschiedenen Reaktantgasen

Zusammenfassung Chemische Ionisations-Massen-spektren (CI-MS) wurden mit einer Kopplung Dünnfilmcapillar-Gas-Chromatographie-Massenspektrometrie von 23 Organophosphorsäurepesticiden mit Isobutan als Reaktantgas gemessen. Alle Substanzen zeigten im CI-MS ein intensives Ion bei M + 1. Die CI-MS der einzelnen Substanzen werden diskutiert und mit Elektronenstoß-MS und CI-MS, die mit Methan oder Methanol als Reaktantgas erhalten wurden, verglichen. Die MS werden beim Übergang von Elektronenstoßionisation zu CI mit den Reaktantgasen Methan, Isobutan und Methanol in dieser Reihenfolge einfacher. Mit Methanol wird nur noch das M + 1-Ion gefunden. Für die praktische Rückstandsanalyse wird Isobutan als Reaktantgas vorgeschlagen.

Chemical ionization mass spectrometry of organophosphorus pesticides with various reagent gases

Summary Chemical ionization mass spectra (CI-MS) of 23 organophosphorus pesticides with isobutane as reagent gas were obtained by a combination of open tubular column gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. All substances show intense M + 1 ions in the CI-MS. The CI-MS of the individual substances obtained with isobutane were discussed and compared with their electron impact mass spectra (EI-MS) and CI-MS obtained with methane or methanol as reagent gases. The spectra became simpler applying CI-MS instead of EI-MS. In CI-MS the extent of fragmentation decreased changing the reagent gas from methane to isobutane and methanol. With methanol, usually only the M + 1 ion was observed in the spectra. For routine residue analysis, isobutane as reagent gas is recommended.
