The convenient route to cd fragment for the synthesis of vitamin D3 relatives

The efficient degradation of $\text{1}$ to the α-methylene ketone $\text{4}$ is described. Compound $\text{4}$ was then converted to the allylic alcohol $\text{8a}$ - the precursor of vitamin D³ relatives.     

Thermogravimetric study of the C + SiO2 reaction

The kinetics of the reaction of one-to-one molar mixtures of crystalline silica and carbon powder were studied using thermogravimetric analysis. The resulting kinetic data was evaluated using simple kinetic and mass transport models. A two-stage reaction mechanism consisting of three stoichiometric reactions can adequately be used to describe the global reaction phenomena. Both the first and second stages of reaction were found to be influenced by diffusion mass transfer within the reacting bed of solids.

Zusammenfassung Mittels Thermogravimetrie wurde die Reaktionskinetik der Reaktion von kristallinem Siliziumdioxid und Kohlenstoffpulver im Molverhältnis 11 untersucht. Die kinetischen Angaben wurden mittels einfachen kinetischen und Stofftransportmodellen ausgewertet. Zu einer adäquaten Beschreibung der gesamten Reaktionserscheinung kann ein Zweischrittereaktionsmechanismus bestehend aus drei stöchiometrischen Reaktionen benutzt werden. Sowohl der erste als auch der zweite Reaktionsschritt wird durch diffusiven Stofftransport innerhalb des Reaktionsbettes beeinflußt.

Effect of solvent upon competitive liquid-liquid extraction of alkali metal cations by isomeric dibenzo-16-crown-5-oxyacetic acids

The selectivity and efficiency of competitive liquid-liquid extraction of alkali metal cations into organic solvents containingsym-(octyl)dibenzo-16-crown-5-oxyacetic acid (2) andsym-bis[4(5)-tert-butylbenzo]-16-crown-5-oxyacetic acid (3) have been determined. Solvents examined include: dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, benzene, toluene,p-xylene, chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene. The Na⁺/K⁺ and Na⁺/Li⁺ extraction ratios are highest in chloroform. The extraction selectivity is found to correlate with the diluent parameter (DP) of the organic solvent.This paper is dedicated to the memory of the late Dr C. J. Pedersen.     

THE STUDY OF 2-CHLORO-5,5-DIMETHYL-2-OXO-1,3,2-DIOXAPHOSPHORINANE IN SOLUTIONS BY MOLECULAR DYNAMICS METHODS USING IR AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY

Abstract

2-Chloro-5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane has been studied in CCl₄, CHCl₃ and CD₃CN solutions by IR and Raman line shape analysis. Equilibrium process of dimerization and ring conversion in CCl₄ solutions have been considered. On the contrary to the commonly expected dominance of the conformer with the equatorial oriented P[dbnd]O bond for 2-halo-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes, it was found that for the 2-chloro derivative both conformers are nearly equally distributed. It has been shown that the interactions induced absorption is an important mechanism of relaxation in the studied compound and this mechanism gives significant contribution to the total IR band broadening, while the interaction induced light scattering is negligible. The obtained results show that the molecular dynamics method can be useful in studying cyclic compounds in solutions.     

From micro-to nanosized particles:Selected characterization methods and measurable parameters

Airborne microand nanoparticles-aerosols-play an important role in many natural phenomena and in a variety of industrial processes,as well as the public health issue. They may be of natural or anthropogenic origin;their presence in an environment might be intentional or due to undesirable release. In any case,merely the particle detection and characterization,ideally in real-time,provide an insight into the potential burden allowing also controlling and abatement measures. Due to the broad size range it is ...     

Anisochronism of large geminal groups in the 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra

The role of steric factors in magnetic non-equivalence anisochronism of complex geminal groups and of their fragments in compounds of the general formula RCH(Ph)CH(COOR′)₂ has been investigated. CMR anisochronism is more sensitive to conformational and other steric changes than is PMR.     

New evidence of the intrinsic chemical shift non-equivalence

Carbinols of the general formulae R·CHOH·C(NO₂)Me₂ exhibit increasing values of chemical shift non-equivalence for the geminal methyl groups with rise of temperature. This phenomenon furnishes indirect evidence for the intrinsic non-equivalence.

Direct mass spectrometric analysis of the 18O/16O ratio in sulfur-containing organophosphorus compounds

High precision measurements of the ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio in bis-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-P-dioxaphosphorinanyl)-sulfide and P¹-oxo-P²-thiono(5,5-dimethl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanyl)oxidee have been carrid out using a Finnigan 4000 mass spectrometer.     

Poisson's effects in electrical field flow fractionation

Recent and earlier models of electrical field flow fractionation (ELFFF) have assumed that the electric field within the fluid domain is governed by Laplace's equation. This assumption results in a linear potential and a spatially constant field across the channel and is generally true for very dilute systems and relatively high effective potentials. Experimental studies show, however, that the effective potential within the channel may be less than 1% of the applied potential; this is apparently due to double layer formation and charge buildup at the poles. In such cases, local analyte concentrations can, nonetheless, be orders of magnitude higher than the bulk mean and the local potential small, both of which can lead to a nonlinear spatial distribution of the field strength. In such cases Poisson's equation must be used rather than Laplace's equation. Steady-state ELFFF simulations were performed using a Poisson's equation-based model. The domain in which Laplace's equation is valid was identified and the effects of concentration and effective field strength on device performance were explored.
