Cation distribution and interatomic interactions in oxides with heterovalent isomorphism: XI. (La1−xHox)2SrAl2O7 solid solutions

Interatomic distances and distributions of rare-earth and strontium cations over two sites in the structure of (La_1?x Ho_x)₂SrAl₂O₇ solid solutions were determined by means of full-profile X-ray structural analysis. Introduction of holmium cations into the La₂SrAl₂O₇ oxide results in ordered distribution of Ln³⁺ cations and stabilization of the perovskite-like structure.     

Synthesis of o-carborane-C-carboxylates of certain natural terpene alcohols, sterols, phenols, and camphar oxime

Previously unreported esters 1b–20b were synthesized from natural terpene alcohols, sterols, plant phenols, and camphar oxime (1a–20a) by reaction with o-carborane-C-carboxylic acid chloride. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 434–436, September–October, 2006.     

Novel synthesis of Planococcus citri pheromone

An effective method was proposed for synthesizing (+)-cis-1R-acetoxymethyl-3-isopropenyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutane, a pheromone of the citrus mealybug, based on ozonolysis of verbenone that led in one step to the key synthon 1R,3S-3-acetyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutanecarboxylic acid. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 179–180, March–April, 2006.     

Esters of isoxazole- and isothiazolecarboxylic acids and oximes of β-isatin, isoxazole- and ferrocene-containing ketones and carborane alcohols

Oximes of β-isatin, isoxazole- and ferrocene-containing ketones, o- and m-carborane alcohols react with isoxazol- and isothiazolecarboxylic acid chlorides in the presence of triethylamine to afford the corresponding esters.     

Environmental assessment of coal ash ponds of thermal power plants in the south of the Russian Far East

The results of environmental assessment of ash ponds of thermal power plants in Vladivostok and Khabarovsk are given. High radioactivity of coal in the Russian Far East is responsible for the accumulation of radionuclides in the fly and bottom ashes, which leads to pollution of atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere with toxic and radioactive elements. Runoff carries these elements to the Ussuri Bay of the Sea of Japan. Harmful effect of these wastes on human health is noted, and possible ways of their utilization have been recommended.     

Synthesis of 2-R-1,3-dioxanes, derivatives of functionally substituted aldehydes of vanillin series

By the condensation of substituted aldehydes of vanillin series with 1,3-propanediol in boiling benzene in the presence of sulfo cation exchanger FIBAN K-1 as catalyst functionally 2-R-substituted 1,3-dioxanes were synthesized.
