Two new triterpene glycosides from the holothurian Duasmodactyla kurilensis

Two new glycosides have been isolated from the total triterpene glycosides of the holothurianDuasmodactyla kurilensis: kurilosides A (III) and C (IV). It has been established that (III) is 16-acetoxy-3-{[O--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 4)-O--D-quinovopyranosyl-(1 2)]-[O-(3-O-methyl--D-glucopyranosyl)-(1 3)-O-(6-O-(sodium sulfato)--D-glucopyranosyl)-(1 4)]--D-xylopyranosyloxy}-4,4,14-trimethylpregen-9(11)-en-20-one, while the minor glycoside (IV) is 16-acetoxy-3-{O--D-quinovopyranosyl-(1 2)-[O-(3-O-methyl--D-glucopyranosyl-(1 3)-O-(6-O-(sodium sulfato)--D-glucopyranosyl)-(1 4)]--D-xylopyranosyloxy}-4,4,14-trimethylpregn-9(11)-en-20-one.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Branch, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

Thermogravimetric and kinetic study of a clodronic acid complex formed with sodium

Thermal stability of the clodronic acid complex formed with sodium (Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂ ·4H₂O) was studied using both dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analyses as well as mass spectra. The thermal decomposition has two stages: dehydration and loss of two molecules of hydrogen chloride. Using the isothermal TG data the first step was found to be a phase-boundary reaction while the second step obviously cannot be described with just one reaction mechanism. The final residue of the dynamic TG analyses above 810 K was found to be sodium metaphosphate.

Zusammenfassung Sowohl mittels dynamischer und thermogravimetrischer Untersuchungen als auch and Hand von Massenspektren wurde die thermische Stabilität des mit Natrium gebildeten Säurekomplexes Na₂CCl₂(HPO₃)₂·4H₂O untersucht. Die thermische Zersetzung vollzieht sich in zwei Schritten: Dehydratation und Verlust von zwei Molekülen HCl. Auf Grund der isothermen TG Angaben ist der erste Schritt eine Phasengrenzreaktion, während der zweite Schritt mit einem einzigen Reaktionsmechanismus nicht eindeutig beschrieben werden kann. Das Endprodukt der DTG Analyse oberhalb 810 K erwies sich als Natriummethaphosphat.

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.

Die γ-Bestrahlung von synthetischem β-Carotin

Zusammenfassung Das feste -Carotin ist gegen -Strahlung ziemlich stabil. Bei Bestrahlung unter Sauerstoffbegasung treten deutliche -Carotin-Verluste erst bei der hohen Dosis von 12 Mrad auf; bei Bestrahlung an der Luft werden ähnliche Radiolyseerscheinungen erst durch wesentlich höhere Strahlendosen ausgelöst. Spaltungsprodukte, die bei 12 Mrad und Sauerstoffbegasung auftraten und dünnschichtchromatographisch aufgetrennt werden konnten, waren Isozeaxanthin, -Carotin-5,6-5, 6-diepoxid, -Carotin-5,8-5,8-diepoxid, -Apo-12-carotinal, -Apo-10-carotinal, 3,3,6-Trihydroxy--carotin-5,8-epoxid und Vitamin-A-Alkohol. Es ist bemerkenswert, daß ein Teil der Radiolyseprodukte (z. B. Vitamin-A₁-Alkohol, -Apo-12-carotinal und -Apo-10-carotinal) Vitamin-A-Wirksamkeit besitzt.

The -Irradiation of synthetic -carotene. Some physico-chemical and thin-layer chromatographic studies of radiolysis products

Solid -carotene is remarkably stable to -irradiation. In an oxygen atmosphere doses as high as 12 Mrad were required to bring about significant losses of -carotene, whereas in air even larger doses had to be applied in order to effect a comparable degree of radiolysis. Cleavage products which arose in O₂ at a dose of 12 Mrad and which could be separated from each other by thin-layer chromatography were isozeaxanthin, -carotene-5,5-5,6-diepoxide, -apo-12-carotenal, -apo-10-carotenal, 3, 3, 6-trihydroxy--carotene-5,8-epoxide and vitamin A₁. It is notable that some of the radiolysis products (e.g., vitamin A₁, -apo-12-carotenal and -apo-10-carotenal) possess vitamin A activity.

Problems of non-linear theory in differential scanning calorimetry

The problems of DSC non-linear theory, connected with the dependence of the thermophysical parameters upon the temperature, are discussed. The changes in thle form of the thermal energy curve recorded by the device as results of the thermaconductivity jump and heat capacity shift taken into account in the course of transformation are shown. A correct non-linear DSC model is formulated. The mather matical apparatus and some simplifying notions for calculation with the non-lineamodel are suggested. The interpretation of a calorimetric curve of an adiabatic scan. ning microcalorimeter over a pretransition range of temperatures is given as an example

Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag erörtert das Problem der nicht-linearen DSC-Theorie im Zusammenhang mit der Abhängigkeit der thermophysikalischen Parameter von der Temperatur. Die Änderungen der durch das Gerät registrierten Form der Wärme-Kraft-Kurve rühren, wie gezeigt wird, von einer jähen Änderung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit her und Änderungen der Wärmekapazität spielen im Laufe des Prozesses ebenfalls mit. Ein korrektes nicht-lineares DSC-Modell wird formuliert. Der mathematische Apparat und einige vereinfachende Begriffe zur Errechnung des nicht-linearen Modells werden vorgeschlagen. Als Beispiel wird die Interpretation einer kalorimetrischen Kurve eines adiabatischen Scanning-Mikrokalorimeters gegeben, das den Vor-Übergangs-Bereich von Temperaturen erfaßt.

Résumé L'article discute les problèmes concernant la théorie de l'analyse calorimétrique différentielle (DSC) non linéaire, en rapport avec le fait que les paramètres thermophysiques dépendent de la température. On montre que les variations de forme de la courbe enregistrée par l'instrument résultent d'un saut de conductibilité thermique et d'un changement de chaleur spécifique lors de la transformation. On donne un modèle correct de DSC non linéaire. On propose un traitement mathématique et quelques notions simplificatrices pour le calcul du modèle non linéaire. On donne comme exemple l'interprétation d'une courbe; calorimétrique fournie par un analyseur microcalorimétrique adiabatique, dans le domaine de température précédant la transition.

Kinetics of cleavage of N–O bond in O-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-cyclohexanone oxime with hydroxide ions both in the presence and absence of surfactants has been studied. The reaction is accelerated by cationic micelles, slightly by non-ionic micelles and there is no effect of anionic micelles. A plot of the rate constant vs. [surfactant] shows a maximum corresponding to the CMC of surfactant.

A study of solid-state thermal decomposition characteristics of some metallo-organic compounds

The solid-state dehydration of the hydrated Ca(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) salts of pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (picolinic acid) and subsequent decarboxylation of the corresponding anhydrous salts have been studied by simultaneous TG, DTA and DTG. The sequences of thermal stability of the hydrated and the anhydrous compounds have been established from analysis of the TG, DTA and DTG traces for dehydration of the hydrated salts and for decarboxylation of the anhydrous compounds. Thermal parameters such as activation energy, enthalpy change and order of reaction for the different stages of each process have been computed by standard methods. An attempt has been made to account for the observed trend in the thermal stability of the anhydrous salts towards decarboxylation. A mechanism of thermal decraboxylation of calcium picolinate has been proposed.

Aus den thermoanalytischen Kurven wurde die der thermischen Stabilität entsprechende Reihenfolge der hydratisierten und wasserfreien Verbindungen ermittelt. Thermische Parameter wie Aktivierungsenergie, Enthalpieänderung und Reaktionsordnung wurden für die einzelnen Schritte jedes Prozesses nach Standardmethoden berechnet. Es wurde ein Versuch unternommen, den Trend in der thermischen Stabilität der wasserfreien Salze gegenüber Decarboxylierung zu erklären. Ein Mechanismus der thermischen Decarboxylierung von Calciumpicolinat wird vorgeschlagen.
