Extraction of Polonium from Aqueous α-Hydroxyisobutyric Acid Solutions Using Dioctyl Sulphide, Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301 or Cyanex 302 in Toluene

A study of the extraction of polonium from aqueous solutions containing -hydroxyisobutyric acid (-HIBA) was performed with four different extractants, di-n-octyl sulphide (DOS), Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301 and Cyanex 302, dissolved in toluene. The extracted complex for DOS at low -HIBA concentrations is most likely PoO(-HIB)₂·2DOS, while at higher -HIBA concentrations there seems to be a solvating effect implicating an extracted complex of the type PoO(-HIB)₂(-HIBA)₂·2DOS. For the extraction of polonium with Cyanex 272 the results are inconclusive. The extracted complex is either PoOA₂ or PoO(-HIB)₂·2HA. For extraction with Cyanex 301 or Cyanex 302 the major extracted species does not contain any -HIBA molecules. The neutral species in both cases is PoOA₂, extracted at low extractant concentrations, while at higher extractant concentrations a complex of the type PoOA₂·xHA is extracted. The extraction of polonium increases in the order Cyanex 272 < DOS < Cyanex 302 < Cyanex 301.     

Complex polarizability as used to analyze dielectric relaxation measurements

The effect of representing dielectric properties in terms of the complex polarizability ^c = – i is examined. Loss curves ( and tan ) are shifted towards higher frequencies, revealing the existence of new relaxations and allowing the clarifications of ones already known. We have calculated the shift ratios (at maximum or tan )/ (at maximum or tan ) from the more conventional empirical equations representing the dielectric behavior. Some examples are given.     

Thermal Behavior of Cu—Al Alloys Near the α-Cu—Al Solubility Limit

The thermal behavior of Cu—Al alloys with 17, 19 and 21 at.%Al was examined by differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The presence of the gamma phase (Al₄Cu₉)was clearly detected for the Cu—19 at.%Al alloy and caused the ₂ phase disordering process in two stages. The tendency to increase the ₂ dissolution precipitates with the increase in the Al content seems to be reverted for compositions at about 21 at.%Al and the heating/cooling ratio seems to influence the thermal response of this process. The presence of the endothermic peak corresponding to the ₁ transformation depends on an incomplete decomposition reaction. The variation of the heating rate showed that the ₁(+₁) decomposition is the dominant reaction for alloys containing 19 and 21 at.%Al.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Porphyrins. 9. New data on the polyformylation of metal complexes of etioporphyrin I

The structures of the products of the polyformylation of Cu, Ni, and Co complexes of etioporphyrin (EP) as monoformyl-, ,-diformyl-, ,-diformyl-, and ,,-triformyl-EP were established by electronic, IR, and PMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. -Formyl--(N-methylformaldimine)-EP and porphyrins that contain a cyclopentane ring can be formed by alkaline treatment of the Vilsmeier formylation products.See [1] for communication 8.See [2] for our preliminary communication.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 767–775, June, 1979.     

On the preparation of bilirubins of the natural α series substituted with a propionic acid residue and a hydroxypropyl group

Summary The reduction of mesobiliverdin XIII propan-1,3-diyl diester with NaBH₄ affords mesobilirubin XIII propan-1,3-diyl diester. The same reduction of mesobiliverdin XIII methylen diester. The same reduction of mesobiliverdin XIII methylen diester affords 8-(2-carboxyethyl)-3,17-diethyl-12-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2,7,13,17-tetramethylbiladien-ac-1,19-(21H, 24H)-dione (MBR-mc). The UV/Vis and¹H NMR spectra ofMBR-mc show that its structure in solution is similar to that of the natural bilirubins of the series.

Triterpene glycosides from Pulsatilla chinensis

Four triterpene glycosides were isolated from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel (Ranunculaceae). Two new glycosides, chinensiosides A (1a) and B (2), were identified as 3-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranosyl]-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid and 3-O-{-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-[-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)]--L-arabinopyranosyl}-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid. The other two glycosides were identified as previously known hederasaponin C (3) from Hedera helix and glycoside III (4) from Pulsatilla cernua.     

Reaction of arylhydrazines with α-formylbutyrolactam derivatives

The Vilsmeier formylation of butyrolactam and of N-phenylbutyrolactam has given their -dimethylaminomethylene derivatives. The reaction of the latter with -substituted arylhydrazines leads to the formation of 1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro--carbolines. When unsubstituted phenylhydrazine is used, the occurrence of a competing reaction leading to -aminoethyl derivatives of 5-pyrazolone is also possible. It has been established that the direction of the reaction and the ratio of the products are affected by the substituent at the lactam nitrogen atom.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 56–60, January 1984.

Triterpene Glycosides of Astragalus and Their Genins. LXI. Occurrence of Cycloartane 6-O-Monodesmosides

Cyclosiversigenin 6-O--L-rhamnopyranoside and 6-O--D-glucopyranoside were isolated fromAstragalus coluteocarpusBoiss. (Leguminosae) andAstragalus dissectusB. Fedtsch. et N. Ivanova, respectively. Cyclosiversigenin 5-O--L-rhamnopyranoside was shown to be an artifact forAstragalus coluteocarpus.Thus, the cyclosiversigenin 6-O--D-glucopyranoside that was isolated from certainAstragalusspecies is hypothesized also to be an artifact. Glycosylation of the 6 -hydroxyl group of cycloartanes by D-glucose and D-xylose, in contrast with other substituents, does not change the low-field position of the PMR signal of the 4-CH ₃ group (1.65 2.01 ppm) that is caused by the influence of deuteropyridine directly on the 6 -hydroxyl. Obviously one of the hydroxyls of the -D-glucopyranoside or -D-xylopyranoside residues has the same effect in this instance.

Kinetics of the thermal decomposition of α-polynitroalkyl sulfides and α-polynitroalkyl sulfones in the gaseous phase

Conclusions A study has been made of the gas-phase decomposition of eight-polynitroalkyl Sulfides and-polynitroalkyl sulfones. Decomposition parameters have been estimated and a mechanism involving rupture of the C-NO₂ bond has been established. Substitution of a S atom in the position to the NO₂ group lowers the C-NO₂ bond energy by R10 kcal/mole.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 310–312, February, 1977.     

On the fate of biliverdin-IIIα-dimethyl ester formed by scrambling during syntheses of biliverdin-IXα-dimethyl ester from bilirubin

Summary In preparations of biliverdin-IX-dimethyl ester (2 b) from bilirubin-IX (1) the ratio of the XIII- and III-isomers3 b and4 b, formed via intermolecular scrambling, should be unity. However, irrespective of the synthetic variant considered, the amount of4 b obtained usually is exceptionally low. This is partly ascribed to a consecutive reaction of4 b in acidic methanol affording the chiral diastereomeric bridged biliverdins5 (a undb) and6 (a andb), respectively.

Zum Verbleib des durch Scrambling gebildeten Biliverdin-III-dimethylethers bei Synthesen des IX-Isomeren aus Bilirubin

Zusammenfassung Bei der Darstellung von Biliverdin-IX-dimethylester (2 b) aus Bilirubin-IX (1) sollte das Verhältnis der durch intermolekulares Scrambling gebildeten XIII- und III-Isomeren3 b bzw.4 b eins betragen. Tatsächlich aber ist die Ausbeute an4 b, unabhängig von der verwendeten synthetischen Variante, immer sehr klein. Dieser Umstand läßt sich zumindest teilweise auf eine spezifische Reaktion von4 b in saurem Methanol zurückführen, in deren Verlauf die chiralen diastereoisomeren überbrückten Biliverdine5 (a undb) sowie6 (a undb) gebildet werden.

     

Differential thermal analysis studies on the crystallization of strontium tungstate from sodium tungstate melt. Nucleation mechanism and induction periods

The nucleation mechanism, kinetics and induction periods in strontium tungstate crystallization from sodium tungstate melt in platinum crucibles were investigated by differential thermal analysis. Heterogeneous nuclei first formed on the metal platinate particles within the solution during the induction periods (¯t); the main crystal growth started only after ¯t and few new nuclei were then formed. At any crystallization temperature, ¯t varied inversely with the cooling rate (R _T), and with the rate (R_C) of development of excess solute concentration according to the relation ¯t = 1/(k ₁ R _c ), wherek ₁ and are constants. The critical temperature (¯T), critical supersaturation(¯ S), k ₁ and were evaluated.

Temperature programmed desorption of NH3 and H2O from NH4NaX and CoNH4NaX zeolites

A study has been made of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of NH₃ and H₂O from samples of NH₄X and CoNH₄X zeolites of various degree of exchange. NH₃ TPD peaks could be explained by interaction of NH₃ with different Brönsted and Lewis acidic centers. Moreover a water peak at high temperatures allowed interpretations of the dehydroxylation, and by reason of the characteristic desorption temperatures a particular state of the Co²⁺ ions in the CoNH₄X zeolites is postulated.
