Steroid compounds from the Pacific starfishesLuidia quinaria andDistolasterias elegans

One new and four previously known steroid compounds were identified from the Pacific starfishesLuidia quinaria andDistolasterias elegans. The structure of the new steroid was established from spectral data and chemical correlations with other steroids such as 5-cholestane-3,5,6,15,16,26-hexaol 3-sulfate (1). The previously known compounds were identified as 5-cholestane-3,5,6,15,26-pentaol 15-sulfate (2) fromLuidia quinaria and sodium (24S)-O-(-d-giucopyranosyll-5-cholestane-3,6,8,15,24-pentaol 6-sulfate (3), sodium (24S)-5-cholestane-3,6,8,15,24-pentaol 24-sulfate (4), and sodium tornasterol A sulfate (5).Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Characterization of Ni supported on alumina by hydrogen-oxygen titration

Hydrogen-oxygen titration was performed on Ni/-Al₂O₃ supported catalysts. Hydrogen chemisorption is used to determine the surface area. An excess in oxygen consumption was observed and related to NiO formed in the bulk. A model is proposed which takes into account the formation of an oxide in the subsurface layers of the metal.

Mechanism of o-xylene conversion on magnesium modifications of Y zeolite

o-Xylene conversions has been investigated in the presence of MgNaY zeolites with different Si/Al ratios and degrees of exchange. Disproportionation proceeds to a higher degree than does isomerization. The distribution of reaction products is attributed to geometric factors. The results are in agreement with a monomolecular mechanism of isomerization.

Conclusions For the first time in the isoflavone series, a compound which has the structure of 5,7-dihydroxy-3,4-methylenedioxyisoflavone (3,4-methylenedioxyorobol) and two of its glucosides — 3,4-methylenedioxyorobol 7-O--D-glucoside and 3,4-methylenedioxyorobol 7-O--D-glucosylglucoside — and also a genistein C-monoglucoside, have been described. The isoflavones were isolated from the roots ofLupinus luteus L. by preparative chromatography on paper and on columns of polyamide. In addition, the previously known genistein, genistein 7-O--D-glucoside (genistin), and genistein 7-O--D-glucosylglucoside have been obtained.V. F.

Preparation and stereochemical characterization of some N-acyl-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrazole derivatives from rotenoids

Summary Several new N-acyl derivatives of 1-(4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-7,8-di methoxy-1,9 b,2,3,3 a,4-hexahydro-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrazole-1-ene have been prepared by appropriate chemical transformation of isohydrazones of rotenone and amorphigenin. A study of their¹H- and¹³C-NMR spectra confirmed the presence of the twocis 3a, 9b, 2 and 3a, 9b, 2 diastereomers in the parent isohydrazones and revealed the strong predominance of the conformers withendo orientation of the 3-NAc group. The conformations due to rotation about the 1,5-bond between rings C and D in the 4-OH and 4-O-substituted compounds were also determined by taking into account the anisotropic effect of aromatic rings A and D, and the hydrogen bond between 4-OH and the 2-N atom, as well as by inspecting the Dreiding models.

Why do ternary compounds exist? — Thermoanalytical investigations on binary systems of metal chlorides

Ternary chlorides are stable if they can be formed from each pair of the other compounds in a system with a gain in energy. Especially, the energy of formation from the two adjacent compounds, the energy of synproportionation must be negative. At 0 K this condition is fulfilled, if (lattice) enthalpy is won. At higher temperature also theT·S-term of the Gibbs-Helmholtz-equation can be of significance: a loss in H must be compensated by a gain inT·S, if a (high-temperature) compound shall exist.This conception was proved experimentally on systems ACl/MCl₂ and ACl/LnCl₃(Ln=Lanthanides). By DTA and X-ray powder patterns the phase diagrams of the pseudobinary systems were elucidated, to yield the stoichiometry and structures of the existing compounds. By solution calorimetry the formation enthalpies at room temperature from the binary parent-compounds were determined. Measurements with a galvanic cell for solid electrolytes at temperatures higher than 300 °C yield the free enthalpies and entropies of synproportionation.The main result of these measurements is, that compounds with isolated coordination polyhedra (K₂CoCl₄=tetrahedra; Rb₃LaCl₆=octahedra) can have a sufficiently high gain in entropy to be stable at temperatures > 0 K.

Zusammenfassung Ternäre Chloride sind stabil, wenn sie sich aus allen Paaren der restlichen in einem System existierenden Verbindungen unter Energiegewinn darstellen lassen. Insbesondere muß die Bildungsenergie aus den beiden Nachbarverbindungen, die Synproportionierungsenergie, netativ sein. Bei 0 K ist diese Bedingung erfüllt, wenn dabei (Gitter-) Enthalpie gewonnen wird. Bei höheren Temperaturen kann auch derT·S-Term der Gibbs-Helmholtz-Gleichung ausschlaggebend werden: ein Verlust an H muß durch einen genügend großen Gewinn anT·S kompensiert werden, damit eine (Hochtemperatur-) Verbindung existieren kann.Dieses Konzept wurde experimentell an Systemen ACl/MCl₂ und ACl/LnCl₃ (Ln=Lanthanoid) bewiesen. Durch DTA und Röntgenpulveraufnahmen wurden die Phasendiagramme der pseudobinären Systeme erstellt, um Zusammensetzung und Strukturen der existierenden Verbindungen zu ermitteln. Mittels Lösungskalorimetrie wurden die Bildungsenthalpien bei Raumtemperaturen aus den binären Ausgangsverbindungen gemessen. Messungen mit einer galvanischen Zelle für Festelektrolyte bei Temperaturen >300 °C lieferten die freien Enthalpien und Entropien für die Synproportionierungsreak-tionen. Als wichtigstes Resultat ergab sich, daß Verbindungen mit isolierten Koordinationspolyedern (K₂CoCl₄=Tetraeder; Rb₃LaCl₆=Oktaeder) einen so großen Entropiegewinn aufweisen, daß sie bei hohen Temperaturen stabil sein können.

On acrylonitrile polymerization in the presence of zinc salts

Acrylonitrile polymerization photoinitiated at 365 nm by pyrene and/or azobisisobutyronitrile in the presence of zinc salts in N,N-dimethylformamide solution has been studied by the rotating sector method. It was found that the ratio of the rate constants for propagation and termination (k_p/k_t) increases on addition of zinc salts (chloride, nitrate, acetate). This increase was more pronounced for the azobisisobutyronitrile photoinitiated polymerization of acrylonitrile then for its pyrene photoinitiated polymerization. The results confirm the previously expressed view concerning the dual role of zinc chloride in initiation as well as in propagation steps of acrylonitrile polymerization photoinitiated by aromatic hydrocarbons.

Reaction mechanism for selective oxidation of organic compounds at C–H bonds is discussed. The criteria of selecting catalysts for these reactions have been formulated; 1) fast heterolytic activation of C–H bonds; 2) relatively slow primary activation of oxygen; 3) fast diffusion of oxygen vacancies; 4) fast electron transfer from the adsorbed substrate to catalyst.

Study of the evolution of a MoO3+Bi2MoO6 mixture in air and in the conditions of mild propene oxidation

MoO₃ can react with the gamma phase of bismuth molybdate (Bi₂MoO₆) in the conditions of propene oxidation to form the alpha phase (Bi₂Mo₃O₁₂) resulting in a more selective catalyst for propene oxidation to acrolein. Intimate contact between MoO₃ and the gamma phase is an important factor favoring the formation of the alpha phase.
