Preparation and magnetic properties of manganite

A new hydrothermal synthesis of manganite is described, and the magnetic and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) behavior of the product is reported. The magnetic susceptibility is nearly independent of temperature above 90°K and increases dramatically on cooling to 30°K. The EPR lineshape, linewidth, and g-factor at 296°K are Lorentzian (in the central region), 280 ± 10 G, and 1.997 ± 0.006, respectively. The EPR spectrum is interpreted in terms of nearly one-dimensional interactions between identical Mn moments. The results of this study support the view that all Mn ions are trivalent and that the magnetic interactions between these ions are nearly one dimensional.     

Magnetic properties of the layered compounds Ca2Mn3O8 and Cd2Mn3O8

Ca₂Mn₃O₈ and Cd₂Mn₃O₈, which contain Mn⁴⁺ monolayers, have been prepared and characterized. Their magnetic susceptibility and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) behavior have been examined in detail. The Mn⁴⁺ moments in both Ca₂Mn₃O₈ and Cd₂Mn₃O₈ order antiferromagnetically near 60 and 10°K, respectively. Although the Néel temperature in Ca₂Mn₃O₈ is in reasonable agreement with molecular-field theory, that in Cd₂Mn₃O₈ is well below its expected value. It is proposed that these results, as well as those in the calcium manganite series CaMnO₃ → Ca₂MnO₄, may reflect the chemical influence of the divalent cation in modifying the MnO covalent mixing.     

Syntheses of methyl α-dl-mycaminoside, methyl α-dl-oleandroside, methyl β-dl-cymaroside, methyl α-dl-tyveloside and methyl α-dl-chromoside C

Five rare hexoses, which are components of antibiotics or cardiac glycosides, have been synthesized as methyl glycosides through a common intermediate methyl 2,3-dehydro-2,3,6-trideoxy-α-dl glucopyranoside (7). Epoxidation and subsequent treatment with dimethylamine of7 afforded methyl α-dl-mycaminoside (9). The addition reaction of MeOH to12 gave methyl α-dl-oleandroside (15) and methyl β-dl-cymaroside (17). The hydroxymercuration and subsequent reduction of12 afforded methyl α-dl-chromoside C (19) and methyl β-dl-tyveloside (25).     

Chemistry of organosilicon compounds: CL. Preparation and UV spectra of nitrophenylpolysilanes

Sixp- andm-nitrophenyl-substituted methylpolysilanes have been prepared by the reaction of nitrobenzyne with monohydromethylpolysilanes. UV spectra ofp-nitrophenylpolysilanes revealed a strong red shift compared with the parent phenylpolysilanes due to the contribution of intramolecular charge transfer to the nitro group.     

Studies of heterocyclic compounds: III. Synthesis and thermal decompositions of some 2-thiophenemercuric derivatives

2-Thiophenemercuric chloride(I), on reaction with sodium or silver thiocyanate, silver azide, silver acetate, and silver trifluoromethanesulfonate gave the 2-thiocyanate (2), 2-azide (4), 2-acetate (5) and 2-trifluoromethanesulfonate (6), respectively. The thermal decompositions of these compounds, together with that of 2,2'-dithienyl mercury, have been studied. The 2-thiophenemercuric triflate (6) decomposes at room temperature to give 2,2'-dithienylmercury. The 2-azide (4), when treated with either cyclohexene or triphenylphosphine, gave only the 2,2'-dithienylmercury. All the 2-thiophenemercuric salts decompose at about 300°C to give only a black insoluble residue. With the aid of some control experiments and comparison with previous work on phenyl- and p-tolyl-mercuric salts, a mechanism is proposed to account for the results.     

The structures of evonine and neoevonine alkaloids obtained from Euonymus Sieboldiana blume

Evonine (1) and neoevonine (2) were isolated from Euonymus Sieboldiana Blume. The structural studies of the principal alkaloid, evonine were carried out extensively by chemical and spectroscopic methods, resulting in the establishment of the structure of the alkaloid as 1: it is a highly oxygenated sesquiterpene of eudesman type, which is esterified with five moles of acetic acid and evoninic acid (33). The derivatives for the structure determination of 1 are summarized in Charts I–III. Interconversion of the two alkaloids, (1 and 2) was achieved and the structure of neoevonine was elucidated as 2.     

X-ray and mössbauer studies of tricyclohexyltin(IV) halides. The crystal structures of (cyclo-C6H11)3SnX (X = F,Br and I)

The structures of tricyclohexyltin fluoride (I), bromide (II) and iodide (III) have been determined by X-ray analysis. Compound I crystallizes in the space group P2₁/m with a = 10.422(6), b = 17.238(9), c = 5.769(3) Å, β = 104.6(1)° and Z = 2. Compounds II and III crystallize in the space group Pcmn with a = 10.427(6), b = 16.914(9), c = 11.366(6) Å, Z = 4; and a = 10.400(6), b = 16.900(10), c = 11.400(4) Å, Z = 4, respectively. All three structures consist of discrete tetrahedral (cyclo-C₆H₁₁)₃SnX units.The temperature dependence of the Mössbauer resonance areas has been examined in order to obtain information about the relationship between chemical structure and lattice dynamics.     

18-Deoxyaldosterone,its chemical and microbial reduction products

Reduction of the diketal 1 with sodium aluminum bis-(methoxyethoxy) hydride afforded the crystalline 18-hydroxycorticosterone diketal (2), an intermediate in the formation of 18-deoxyaldosterone acetate (4b). The hitherto unreported but anticipated metabolites of 4 were prepared as follows: hydrogenations of 4b furnished the fα- and 5β isomers 6 and 5b, and thence the tetra- and hexahydro derivatives 10, 11, 8, 9 and 7, and the 3-deoxy compounds 12 and 13. Anaerobic fermentations of 4b with Clostridium paraputrificum gave the tetrahydro derivative 8b in high yield.     

Thermodynamics of carbon dioxide and carbonic acid: (a) the standard enthalpies of solution of Na2CO3(s), NaHCO3(s), and CO2(g) in water at 298.15 K; (b) the standard enthalpies of formation,standard Gibbs energies of formation,and standard entropies of CO2(aq), HCO3−(aq), CO32−(aq), NaHCO3(s), Na2CO3(s), Na2CO3·H2O(s), and Na2CO3·10H2O(s)

Enthalpies of solution of CO₂(g), NaHCO₃(s), and Na₂CO₃(s) in excess NaOH solution were measured at 298.15 K by solution calorimetry. The results were reduced to standard-state processes through use of results from a preceding paper, and standard enthalpies of solution for CO₂(g), NaHCO₃(s), and Na₂CO₃(s) in water at 298.15 K were found to be: ?(4720 ± 40), (4474 ± 30), and ?(6371 ± 30) cal_th mol^?1 respectively. The results of equilibrium studies involving CO₂(g) (solubility and e.m.f. studies) were reviewed and assembled,together with entropies for related solids. Standard values of ΔH_f^o, ΔG_f^o, and S^o at 298.15 K were evaluated for CO₂(aq, non-ionized), HCO₃^?(aq), CO₃^2?(aq), NaHCO₃(s), Na₂CO₃(s), Na₂CO₃·H₂O(s), and Na₂CO₃·10H₂O(s).     

Selectivities in 1,2,3-triazolide displacements of halides and additions to alkynes

4,5-Dicarbomethoxy-1,2,3-triazolide or 4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazolide displace chloride from ethyl chloroacetate or β-chloropropionate to give both 1-N and 2-N alkylated products. Our highest 2-N to 1-N selectivity was ca 5/1 and was found with the base triethylamine in DMF. The same triazolides and others add to alkynes, e.g. ethyl propiolate, methyl acetylenedicarboxylate, phenylpropiolaldehyde, ethyl phenylpropiolate, etc, to give Michael adducts at the 2-N position exclusively. Here the usual preference holds, i.e., the anti adduct is favored, but anti to syn isomerization usually sets in. On the basis of the available data for nucleophilic substitutions and additions, a limited directioselectivity pattern emerges for H-1,2,3-triazoles (T) and their anions (T^?): neutral T almost invariably leads with 1-N; T^t-- usually adds to unsaturates at 2-N; unsubstituted, 4-substituted and 4,5-disubstituted T^? attack organic halides at both 1-N and 2-N. Compared to phenyl, 2-triazolyl exerts a greater deshielding effect on proton chemical shifts; these and other patterns in the PMR spectra of the Michael adducts are discussed. CNDO calculations indicate that the 1-H is more stable than the 2-H-1,2,3-triazole and that in both neutral triazole and in triazolide, the 1-nitrogen position should lead nucleophilic attacks-this directioselectivity prediction is only partly (and probably fortuitously) correct.     

Pinnatanine and oxypinnatanine,novel amino acid amides from Staphylea pinnata L.

Two novel amino acids amides, pinnatanine and oxypinnatanine, have been isolated from Staphylea pinnata L. Their respective structures have been established as N⁵-(2-hydroxymethylbutadienyl)-l-allo-γ-hydroxyglutamine and N⁵-(3-hydroxymethyl-2,5-dihydro-2-furyl)-l-allo-γ-hydroxyglutamine by spectral methods and chemical degradation.     

Allylbutyltin halides (CH2CHCH2)SnBu3−nCln (n = 0, 1, 2, 3). Preparation,carbon-13 NMR characterization and allylstannylation ability towards ketones and aldehydes

Mixed allylbutyltin halides (CH₂CHCH₂)SnBu_3-nCl_n (n = 0–3) have been prepared, and characterized by carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy. Their ability to bring about allylstannylation of ketones and aldehydes, to form organostannoxy compounds, Bu_3-nSnCl_nOC(R′)(R″)CH₂CHCH₂, has been shown to increase on increasing the value of n, that is on increasing the acceptor ability of the tin centre.     

Studies of acenaphthene derivatives—XXVIII : The reaction of 2-diazoacenaphthenone with anils in the presence of boron trifluoride

Reaction of 2-diazoacenaphthenone with anils in the presence of a catalytic amount of boron trifluoride etherate is reported. The diazoketone reacts with benzylidenanilines to afford a mixture of stereoisomers of spiro[acenaphthenone-2′,4-imidazolidine], whose structures correspond to compounds derived from 1:2 adducts of the diazoketone and anils with the elimination of nitrogen. A pathway involving spiro-aziridine intermediates is proposed for their formation. Reaction of the diazoketone with aα-alkylbenzylidenanilines however gives the corresponding acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrroles, whose structures correspond to compounds arising from 1:1 adducts with the elimination of both nitrogen and water. The reaction of the tautomeric enamine form of the anil with a carbenoid intermediate generated from the diazoketone is suggested for pyrrole formation.     

The chemistry of chromyl fluoride III. Reactions with inorganic systems

Reactions of CrO₂F₂ with MF or MF₂ gave the corresponding M₂CrO₂F₄ and MCrO₂F₄ fluorochromates. With the Lewis Acids (SO₃, TaF₅, SbF₅) and (CF₃CO)₂O known and new chromyl compounds [CrO₂(CF₃COO)₂, CrO₂(SO₃F)₂, CrO₂FTaF₆, CrO₂FSbF₆, CrO₂FSb₂F₁₁] were produced. Chromyl fluoride and inorganic salts (CF₃COONa and NaNO₃) produced the following complexes - Na₂CrO₂F₂(CF₃COO)₂ and Na₂CrO₂F₂(NO₃)₂. Unusual solid products were obtained with CrO₂F₂ and NO, NO₂, SO₂.A new method of preparing CrO₂F₂ is also presented.     

Preparation of some triethylammonium (organocyanoamino)chlorotriphenylstannates

Seven new anionic triphenytin complexes, triethylammonium (organocyanoamino)chlorotriphenylsannates, were prepared by the reaction of (triphenylstannyl) cyanamide with acid chlorides, alkyl chlorocarbonates, or benzenesulfonyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. One of these complexes, triethylammonium (acethylcyanoamino)chlorotriphenylstannate, was also prepared by the reaction of triethylamine hydrochloride with N-(triphenylstannyl)-N-acetylcyanamide, which was obtained by following acetyl chloride to react with bis(triphenylstannyl)carbodiimide. The PMR and IR (4000-140 cm^?1) spectrum of each complex was measured. The Mössbauer parameters of two of the complexes were obtained, the quadrupole splittings being consistent with trigonal bipyramidal structures. p-Nitrobenzoyl chloride and terephthalyl chloride failed to give complexes on reaction with (triphenylstannyl)cyanamide and triethylamine, but instead gave the triethylammonium salt of the corresponding acylcyanamide. The new anionic complex, triethylammonium dichlorotriphenylstannate, was prepared by the reaction of triphenyltin chloride with triethylamine hydrochloride.
