Extraction—spectrophotometric determination of boron with naphthalene-2,3-diol and crystal violet

Boron reacts with naphthalene-2,3-diol to form a complex anion extractable into benzene with crystal violet and is determined indirectly by measuring the absorbance of the crystal violet in the extract at 610 nm. The calibration graph is linear for boron over the range 8.0 × 10^-7–8.0 × 10^-8 mol l^-1; the apparent molar absorptivity is 8.8 × 10⁴ l mol^-1 cm^-1. The method is applied to the determination of boron in natural waters.     

2-（1,3-Diphenylpropen-1,3-diolato）-1,3,2-（5-formylbenzo）dioxaborol： A ＇Whole-molecule Disorder＇ Crystal Structure

The boron atom in C22H15BO5 is O,O’-chelated by the anions in a tetrahedral geometry, with the planar five-and six-membered chelate rings being orthogonal to each other. The molecule lies on a two-fold rotation axis. The molecule is disordered with respect to another molecule in a 93:7 ratio; the treatment of the ‘whole-molecule disorder’ by employing a large number of restraints is described. Crystal data: C22H15BO5, monoclinic C2/c, a = 17.1804(5), b = 12.9409(4), c = 9.8842(3) , β = 124.832(2)o, V = 1803.82(9) 3 at –173 K.     

2,3-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,3-butadien

2,3-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,3-butadiene A method for synthesis of the title compound is described, using the readily available 2,3-bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)-1,3-butadiene ( 1 ) as the starting material. For the protection of the diene system, 1 is first converted into the 1,4-dibromo- and 1,4-dichloro derivatives 2a and b , respectively, by addition of Br₂ or Cl₂, respectively. The structure of 2b has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecule has a centrosymmetrical (E)-configuration. Reduction of the phosphinoyl groups by HSiCl₃(to give the bis(diphenylphosphino)compound 3), followed by removal of the Cl-atoms using Zn powder, affords the bis(diphenylphosphino)butadiene 4 . Compounds 3 and 4 give quaternary phosphonium salts 5 and 6 , respectively, on addition of CH₃OSO₂F or CH₃I. The sulfur analogue of 1 is formed on treatment of 4 with elemental sulfur.     

Oxidation of Poly(2,3-dimethylbutadiene-1,3)

Abstract

Poly(2,3-dimethylbutadiene-1,3) containing cis-1,4, trans-1,4, and 1,2 structural units in various proportions undergoes rapid oxidation even at room temperature. The process of oxidation is accompanied by cyclization. The concentration of peroxides that form at room temperature is relatively very high, reaching the value of one peroxidic group per 16 monomeric units. The formation of six-membered rings involving the peroxidic bonds in poly(2,3-dimethylbutadiene) is accompanied by degradation.
