Study of the rotational isomerism about the C-O bond in six-membered secondary-tertiary diols

We have determined the spectroscopic characteristics, the dipole moments, and the Kerr constants of the stereoisomers of the secondary-tertiary diols of the cyclohexane and bicyclo [4.1.0]pentane series: 3,4-dihydroxy-3-carane (I), 3,4-dihydroxy-3-methylnorcarane (II), 3,4-dihydroxy-3-methylnorcarane (III), 4, 5-dihydroxy-3-methylcyclohexene (IV), 3,4-dihydroxy-3-carane (V), 3,4-dihydroxy-3-methylnorcarane (VI), 3, 4-dihydroxy-3-carane (VII), and 3,4-dihydroxy-4-methyl-3-carane (VIII). It was found that the cis diols are more polar than their trans isomers. It was shown by electrical and electrooptical methods that rotamers with a gauche orientation with respect to the tertiary C-O are stable relative to those containing the diol at the ordinary C-C bond of the ring.Deceased.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 619–625, March, 1991.     

Reaction of Β-arylacryloxiranes with phenyl azide. Synthesis and chemical transformations of Β-phenylamino-Β-arylacrylyloxiranes

The reaction of -arylacrylyloxiranes with phenyl azide by refluxing in dioxane or toluene leads to -phenylamino--aryl-acrylyloxiranes. Epoxypropionyl- and -hydroxypropionyltriazoles are also isolated when the reaction is carried out in the dark without heating. It is shown that -phenylamino--arylacrylyloxiranes undergo cyclization to 3(2H)-furanones in an acidic medium, whereas they are converted to 2,3-dihydro-4-pyridones under basic-catalysis conditions.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedineii, No. 8, pp. 1022–1027, August, 1988.     

Fluorinated Β-hydroxy-Β-carbomethoxy acids and photoreduction of their copper salts

Conclusions The methyl esters of fluorinated -keto acids enter into the Knoevenagel condensation with malonic acid and give fluorinated -hydroxy--carbomethoxy acids, which form copper salts with a ligand:copper composition=1:1. The Cu salts of fluorinated -hydroxy--carbomethoxy acids are photoreduced by alcohols in the presence of UV light to give -hydroxy--carbomethoxy acids and metallic Cu.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1896–1900, August, 1982.

Conclusion The action of the hexaethyltriamide of phosphorous acid on disulfides containing an ,-dichloro-,,-trifluoroisopropyl group gives the dimer of trifluoromethylthiirene, namely, 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)p-dithiine. Oxidation of this dimer by the action of sulfuric acid gives a stable radical-cation.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1160–1162, May, 1987.     

Crystallization,melting and spherulitic structure of Β-nucleated random propylene copolymers

The characteristics of crystallization, melting and spherulitic growth of a random propylene copolymer (PRC) containing small amount of ethylene were studied in the presence of a selective -nucleating agent (calcium pimelate). It was established that the products of isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization are very rich in -modification but have mixed polymorphic composition. The formation of -modification may be attributed to -transition on the surface of growing -spherulites resulting in -twin-spherulites. During melting of PRC of -modification, the characteristics observed with -nucleated propylene homopolymers, namely, a -recrystallization of recooled samples and separated melting of non-recooled samples (i.e. the melting memory effect), as well as a -recrystallization leading to a perfection of the structure within the -modification, are also demonstrated. The disturbance of regularity of the polymer chain highly reduces the tendency to -crystallization. In contrast to the observations with propylene homopolymers, the growth rate of -modification (G ) is higher than that of -modification (G ) and no critical crossover temperature can be found (T()=413 K) below whichG >G . The experimental results show that a partial disturbance of chain regularity by incorporation of comonomer units considerably reduces the tendency to -crystallization.This research was supported by the National Scientific Research Fund (OTKA), the author is grateful for it.

Synthesis of Β-hydroxyalkylpyrazoles by reaction of Β-arylacryloyloxiranes with hydrazine

Effects of medium and chemical modification on thermal characteristics of Β-lactoglobulin

The thermal properties of -lactoglobulin (-LG) were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under different medium conditions.pH, neutral salts, protein perturbants, and polyols all affected the DSC characteristics of -LG. Acylation with fatty acids also changed the thermal properties, particularly peak width at half-height. The results suggest that the structural stability of -LG is controlled by non-covalent forces, particularly electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Disulfide bonds did not contribute to the thermal response of -LG. Fatty N-acyl-amino acids caused marked increases in thermal stability and decreases in denaturation enthalpy, and additional peaks were observed in the presence of some palmitoyl derivatives.Contribution No. 2310, Centre for Food and Animal Research.We thank D. Raymond for her excellent technical assistance.

Proton magnetic resonance study of the configurations of severalΒ-substituted vinylcarbonyl compounds

PMR spectra of several -substituted vinylcarbonyl compounds were studied. Analysis of the spin-spin interaction constants and the chemical shifts leads to the conclusion that the molecules of methyl cis- and trans--chlorovinyl ketone, methylmalondialdehyde, and malondialdehyde exist in a cissoidal conformation. The molecule of cis--chloroacrolein has a transoidal conformation, and a rotation around the C-C bond takes place in trans--chloroacrolein.The results of the experiments are compared with calculated chemical shifts, which are determined by the effect of diamagnetic anisotropy and electrical charges of the C=C, C=O, and C-Cl bonds.

Β-Chloro-Β-ferrocenylacrylaldehyde and its application in the synthesis of pyrylium and pyridine derivatives of ferrocene

-Chloro--ferrocenylacrylaldehyde, to which an s-cis configuration was assigned on the basis of the PMR spectral data, was synthesized from acetylferrocene by the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. 2, 3, 6-Trisubstituted pyrylium salts with a ferrocenyl substituent in the 6 position were obtained by condensation of this aldehyde with -dicarbonyl compounds. The pyrylium salts were converted to the corresponding pyridines by the action of ammonium acetate in acetic acid. On the basis of the structures of the pyridines it was established that the aldehyde carbon atom initially attacks the -dicarbonyl compound with subsequent closing of the -unsubstituted pyrylium ring.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 599–602, May, 1977.
