Formation of ultra-thin films consisting of proteins or polysaccharides and syndiotactic-rich poly-vinyl alcohol mixtures adsorbed at air-solution interface

Ultra-thin films of syndiotactic-rich poly-vinyl alcohol (s-PVA) with several proteins and polysaccharides were prepared by the bubble and frame methods using a mixed dilute aqueous solution (1.5g/dL).The mixed amount of-cyclodextrin (-CD) was the largest among these proteins and polysaccharides giving a weight ratio (-CD/s-PVA) of 1. The ratios of silk fibroin(SF), lysozyme, pepsin, and pectin tos- PVA were 0.58, 0.40, 0.35, and 0.35, respectively. For the-CD/s-PVA and SF/s-PVA blend thin films, the phase separation was observed.     

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.

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.

Influence of conjugated nitrogenous bases on the spectra and structure of mixed-ligand nickel(II) chelates containing β-diones

The infrared and electronic excitation spectra of a series of new nickel(II) chelates containing an-diimine (or nitrogenous base, enR) and the anion of a-dione (1,3-ketoenol or 1,3-ketoester,H) were obtained in the solid state and in solution. The composition and the overall structure of the new chelates in the solid state depends on ligand concentration, the substituents within the-dionato moiety and the counterion present. The IR and electronic excitation spectra of [Ni(enR)₂ ]NO₃ and [Ni(enR)(O₂NO)] indicate, in conjunction with other physicochemical measurements, bidentate coordination of the ligands, while the spectral shifts reveal replacement of the (O,O)nitrato group by basic solvents. The existence of the nickel(II) in an octahedral environment is confirmed by an X-ray structure analysis of [Ni(dpamH)₂acac]NO₃ · CH₃OH (monoclinic, space groupP2_l/n, a=17.296(1),b=7.462(1),c=21.604(3) å,=95.65(1),Z=4, R=0.0534,Rw=0.0600), where dpamH denotes the 2,2-dipyridylamine.     

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. Thanks are due to Professor Géza Bodor for his help in X-ray diffractometric investigations and to Ms. Tünde Lócska for her prudential technical assistance in the optical experiments.

Formation of 3,4-dihydro-α-carbolines from 2-aminoindole

In the condensation of 2-aminoindole with ,-unsaturated oxo compounds, in contrast to ordinary aromatic amines and a number of heterocyclic amines, the direction of cyclization is reversed. The general scheme of the reaction includes the reaction of the position of 2-aminoindole with the activated double bond of the oxo compound via a mechanism of the Michael type and condensation of the carbonyl group of the unsaturated carboline structure, which subsequently undergoes aromatization. The intermediate 3,4-dihydro--carbolines were produced and isolated; this made it possible in a number of cases to establish the structures of the final -carbolines. The structures of the 3,4-dihydro compounds were confirmed by the set of spectral characteristics. Data from the UV, IR, PMR, and mass spectra are presented.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 945–951, pp. 945–951, July, 1977.

Carbolines

4-Substituted 3, 4-dihydro--carbolines (X–XVI) were obtained by the Beckman rearrangement of oximes of -(indolyl-3)ketones (I–IV, IX) under the action of phosphorus pentachloride in nitrobenzene. 3, 4-Dihydro--carbolines were converted into -carbolines (XV–XVII) on heating with Brown's palladium catalyst in ethylene glycol. Oximes containing the aryl group react on treatment with p-toluene sulfochloride in pyridine with the formation of the arilides of -(indolyl-3)propionic acids.For preliminary report, see [18].     

Binding energies of metal monocations to Β-lactones and Β-lactams. A theoretical study of cyclization effects

Ab initio calculations have been performed to study the association of-propiolactam and-propiolactone and their aliphatic analoguesN-methyl acetamide and methyl acetate with different metal monocations: Li⁺, Na⁺, Mg⁺, and Al⁺, in an effort to investigate cyclization effects on the gas-phase basicities of amides and esters, when the reference acid is not a proton. Similarly to what was found for protonation,N-methyl acetamide and-propiolactam are more basic than methyl acetate and-propiolactone, when the reference acids are the aforementioned metal monocations. However, cyclization effects on the corresponding binding energies for both kind of compounds do not parallel those observed for protonation energies, and-lactone is as basic as methyl acetate when the reference acid is Li⁺ and slightly more basic than methyl acetate when the attaching ion is Na⁺. This implies that when the interactions of the bases with the reference acids are essentially electrostatic the reactivity patterns change with respect to those observed when the interactions are essentially covalent.

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.
