Rearrangement ofα -trifluoromethyl-β-dialkylamino-β-fluoroacrylic acid N.N-dialkylamides

Conclusions When heated in the presence of a catalytic amount of BF₃ etherate,-trifluoromethyl--diethylamino--fluoroacrylic acid N, N-dimethylamide is reversibly isomerized to-trifluoromethyl--dimethylamino--fluoroacrylic acid N, N-diethylamide. The methyl esters of-trifluoromethyl--diethylammo--fluoroacrylic acid and-trifluoromethyl--phenoxy--fluoroacrylic acid N,N-dimethylamide are not isomerized under the same conditions.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No.1, pp.137–141, January, 1976.

Ein Ger?t zur h?chstempfindlichen Differentialspektrophotometrie mit dem Rapidspektroskop

Zusammenfassung Eine Methode zur Differentialspektrophotometrie durch Modulation eines Monochromators wird beschrieben. Der Monochromator oscilliert mit variabler Bandbreite zwischen ₁ und ( ₁+). Wenn ( ₁+) die Wellenlänge des Absorptionsmaximums ist, erscheint am Photo multiplierausgang einer Sinuswelle, deren Amplitude der Extinktions differenz zwischen ¹ und ( ₁+) proportional ist. Die Schaltung zur ultralinearen Messung dieser Amplitude ist angegeben und ihre Anwendung mit dem Zweistrahlphotometer Rapidspektroskop gezeigt. Die Empfindlichkeit wird durch die Kombination um den Faktor 10 bis 100 gesteigert. Der Rauschpegel ist bei der Monochromator-Modulationstechnik etwa 10^–4 E.Das Differentialspektrum stellt die erste Ableitung eines Spektrums dar und gestattet die genauere Lokalisation von Schultern in steilen Flanken eines Spektrums. Die Kombination der beschriebenen Methode mit der Technik des Rapidspektroskops erlaubt es, dasselbe mit gleichem Erfolg wie ein Dual-Wavelength-Gerät einzusetzen.

Summary A method for differential spectrophotometry by modulation of a single monochromator is described. A single monochromator oscillates with variable bandwidth between ₁ and ( ₁+ ). If ( ₁ + ) is the wavelength at maximal optical density, the photomultiplier output gives a sinus-wave, the amplitude of which is proportional to the optical density difference between ₁ and ( ₁+). The circuit for ultralinear measurement of this amplitude is described and details of its application with the split-beam spectrophotometer Rapidspektroskop are given. The sensitivity of the entire assembly is increased by a factor of between ten and one hundred. The noise level of the monochromator-modulated technique is about 10^–4 optical density units. The differential spectrum represents the first derivative of a spectrum and allows one to determine more exactly the location of shoulders in the slope of a spectrum.The combination of the described method with the techniques of the Rapid spektroskop thus provides facilities which equal those of a dual-wavelength apparatus.

The effects of cyclodextrin inclusion of the ferrocenemonocarboxylate anion on the kinetics of its oxidation by bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)cobaltate(III) in aqueous solution

The effects of -, -, dm-(heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--) and -cyclodextrins (CD) on the kinetics of the electron-transfer reaction of the ferrocenemonocarboxylate anion (FCA^–) with bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)cobaltate(III) have been investigated in aqueous solution (0.20 M Na₂HPO₄, pH 9.2) at 25.0°C. Substantial decreases in the rate constants for the electron-transfer reactions were observed upon cyclodextrin inclusion of the reductant, due to an increase in the FCA^0/– reduction potential and to the insulation of the reductant from oxidant. The inclusion stability constants for {FCA·CD}^– were evaluated from the¹H NMR and kinetic data, and the order of the stability constants was found to be -CDdm-CD-CD>-CD.

Vibrational isotope effect of linear and planar molecules: Deuterated bromoethenes

Linear (planar) molecules A and B which are identical except for isotopic substitutions at the atomic sites are considered. Stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies _k and normal modes _k of the isotopically perturbed molecule B are expressed in terms of stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies _i and the corresponding normal modes _i of the unperturbed molecule A. Complete specification of the unperturbed normal modes is not required. All that is needed are stretching (bending, out-of-plane) amplitudes | _i of the normal modes _i at those sites that are affected by isotopic substitution. The rule which interlaces frequencies _k of molecule A with frequencies _i of molecule B is derived. Given two isotopic molecules A and B that differ by a single isotopic substitution at site , the inversion relation is derived. This relation expresses unperturbed stretching (bending, out-of-plane) amplitudes at the site in terms of stretching (bending, out-of-plane) frequencies of molecules A and B . As an example, out-of-plane vibrations of deuterated bromoethene were considered. In the simplest method 12 out-of-plane frequencies of four polydeuterated bromoethenes were calculated from 12 out-of-plane frequencies of bromoethene and three monodeuterated bromoethenes. Standard deviation of thus calculated frequencies from experimental frequencies is =2.74 cm^–1. In another method, 15 out-of-plane frequencies of four polydeuterated bromoethenes and selected monodeuterated bromoethene are calculated from 9 out-of-plane frequencies of bromoethene and the remaining two monodeuterated bromoethenes. Depending on which monodeuterated bromoethene is selected (1-, cis- or trans-), standard deviation of thus obtained frequencies from experimental frequencies is 1=2.84 cm^–1, c=2.96 cm^–1 and t=2.72 cm^–1.     

Reaction of the Hexa-1,3,5-triyne Me3SiC≡CC≡CC≡CSiMe3 with Ru4(CO)13(μ 3-PPh): Parallels with the Chemistry of Alkynes and Diynes

Reaction of Ru₄(CO)₁₃(₃-PPh) (1) with the 1,3,5-hexatriyne Me₃SiCCCCC CSiMe₃ under mild thermal conditions affords initially Ru₄(CO)₁₀(-CO)₂{₄-¹,¹,²-P(Ph)C(CCSiMe₃)C(CCSiMe₃) (2), via the facile formation of a P–C bond in a manner similar to that demonstrated previously with alkynes and diynes. The 62-CVE cluster 2 readily decarbonylates to give crystallographically characterised Ru₄(CO)₁₀(-CO)(₄-PPh){₄-¹,¹,²,²-Me₃SiCCC₂CCSiMe₃} (3). Attempts to further incorporate the pendant alkyne moieties in 3 into the Ru₄ coordination environment were partially successful with Ru₄(CO)₁₀(₄-PPh)(₄-¹,¹,³,³-RC₄R') (4, R/R'=SiMe₃/CCSiMe₃) being formed as a minor product together with the unusual toluene coordinated species Ru₄(CO)₇(⁶-C₆H₅Me)(₄-PPh)(₄-¹,¹,³,³-Me₃SiC₄CCSiMe₄) (5). Cluster 3 reacts with an excess of Me₃SiCCCCCCSiMe₃ to give the open chain cluster Ru₄(CO)₉(₃-PPh){₄-²,²,⁴,⁴,-C₄(CCSiMe₃)(SiMe₃)C₄(CCSiMe₃)₃} (6).     

Principal vectors of crystallographic groups and applications

For a crystallographic group acting on ann-dimensional Euclidean space we consider the -invariant linear elliptic differential operatorP with constant coefficients and to it the -automorphic eigenvalue problemP [] + = 0. N() is the number of all eigenvalues smaller than or equal to the frequency bound ^q (q: order ofP). Earlier we found the asymptotic estimationN() c₀ · ⁿ + c₁ · ^n–1 (c ₀,c ₁: certain volumina). Furthermore,N() was interpreted as the number of so-called principal classes of principal lattice vectors within a convex domain. In this paper we demonstrate these results for the casen = 2 for two representative crystallographic groups and the assigned lattices. Above all we demonstrate a counting method for an exact estimation ofN() if a is not too big. In an analogous way we can treat all the 230 space groups of crystallography. It will be seen that these applications are brought about by the so-called principal vectors of these lattices.

Dehydration-dehydrogenation of 1- and 2-butanols on lanthanide oxide catalysts

Catalytic decomposition of 1- and 2-butanols on the rare earth oxides CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁, and Me₂O₃ (Me=La, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho and Yb) has been studied. Dehydration-dehydrogenation selectivity of these oxides was analyzed from the point of view of the fractional selectivity (S_F). For the decomposition of 2-butanol and the product distribution on the lanthanide oxides, preferential orientation to Hofmann olefin as well as a cis/trans ratio slightly higher than that of the equilibrium value is observed.

The predictive accuracy for estimating infinite dilution activity coefficients by γ∞-based UNIFAC

The predictive accuracy for estimating infinite dilution activity coefficients by a modification of the UNIFAC method wherein the group interaction parameters were based on only data (referred to as -based UNIFAC) has been studied. Estimates and measured values were compared for six prototypical solutes in a series of homologous n-alkanes, l-alcohols and alkanenitrile solvents. Despite the fact that the interaction parameters were derived using only data, this approach still gave serious errors due to several inherent problems in the original UNIFAC model. Its performance is sometimes even poorer than that of the original UNIFAC method. For example for nitromethane in alcohols and p-dioxane in nitriles values predicted by the -based UNIFAC are essentially zero. The large errors for these systems are most likely due to inaccurate interaction parameters in the -based UNIFAC method.

Diastereoselectivity in theLewis acid mediated aldol reaction of chiral α, β-epoxyaldehydes with a ketene silyl acetal

Summary The Lewis acid mediated aldol reaction of chiral , -cis andtrans epoxyaldehydes1 and2 withtert-butyl ketene silyl acetal proceeds mainly withanti diastereofacial preference. The best results were obtained forcis epoxyaldehyde1 in the presence of catalytic amounts of BiCl₃·1.5 eq. ZnI₂ (anti:syn 13:1), whereas the poorest stereoselectivity was observed when an excess of LiClO₄ was used (anti:syn 1:1). The more stable epoxyaldehyde conformers were determined and the diastereofacial preference was found to be in agreement with a nucleophilic attack on the energetically more favoured conformers.

Chemistry on the rhomboidal Ru4 faces of the clusters RU4(CO)13(μ-PR2)2: Novel small molecule,ligand, and skeletal transformations

Tetrametal clusters such as Ru₄(CO)₁₃(-PPh₂)₂ and Ru₄(CO)₁₀(-PPh₂)₄ are 64-electron systems and, with five metal-metal interactions, are formally electron rich. In fact these clusters have unusual rhomboidal (or flat butterfly) structures with three or four elongated Ru-Ru bonds. With molecular orbitals antibonding with respect to metal metal interactions occupied in such clusters, facile two electron oxidation or ligand dissociation processes should occur, giving electron precise molecules. The molecule Ru₄(CO)₁₃(-PPh₂)₂ 1a undergoes a remarkable, reversible transformation upon loss of CO affording (-H)Ru₄(CO)₁₀(-PPh₂)[₄-¹(P),¹(P),¹(P),¹,²-{C₆H₄}PPh]3 a cluster which contains a five coordinate phosphido bridge and an orthometallated ² arene ring. This conversion is reversible under CO. These and other results which will be discussed confirm that M₄ clusters with electrons in excess of the expected EAN rule count may exhibit unusual reactivity. The solid-state CP/MAS and static powder³¹P NMR spectra of some of these clusters exhibit^99/101Ru-³¹P couplings, values of which have been measured for the first time.
