Radical addition of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate

The GC-MS method was used to identify the addition products of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate. Radiation-induced addition of methyldichlorosilane to vinyl acetate produces 2-methyldichlorosilylethyl ethyl ether. The reaction follows a radical-chain mechanism. The ratio of the rate constants of methyldichlorosilyl radical addition to C=C and C=O to vinyl acetate amounts to 0.4±0.1 (303 K).

Ab initio investigation of the electron structure in bis-Cu+ acetylene and vinylidene complexes

[Cu(-C₂H₂)₂]⁺, [Cu(-CCH₂)₂]⁺ and [Cu(-C₂H₂) (-CCH₂]⁺ complexes have been studied by the ab initio double-zeta basis set method. It has been established that all calculated compounds are stable to decomposition into two C₂H₂ molecules and Cu⁺ cation and into one C₂H₂ molecules and the respective monocomplex. Calculation results suggest the possibility of intramolecular acetylene-vinylidene rearrangement in the coordination sphere of Cu⁺.

Reduction of CuO-containing catalysts, CuO: I: TPR and TGA

For CuO/ZnO reduction has been shown [M. S. W. Vong et al., Catal. Lett.,4, 15 (1990)] to be faster and more extensive with CO than by H₂ and here this is shown to be the case for CuO itself, this being so then it may be preferable to characterize CuO-containing catalysts by temperature-programmed reduction with CO than with H₂. The activation energies of reduction (57–82 kJ/mol) are those expected for chemical reduction, but it is an important finding that the order with respect to hydrogen partial pressure (0.04) is extremely low and far removed from the value of unity often assumed. Different samples of CuO exhibit different reduction characteristics.

Studies of the interaction of hydrotrioxides ROOOH of ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 1,1-dimetoxyethane, 1,1-diethoxyethane, benzaldehyde and tetrahydrofuran with trimethyl triisopropyl, tributyl, triallyl, triphenyl and tri-o-chresyl phosphites (RO)₃P have revealed that in mild conditions ROOOH rapidly and selectively oxidizes (RO)₃P to the corresponding phosphates. The reaction stoichiometry has been established. Aromatic phosphites are shown to be of inferior reactivity to ROOOH as compared with aliphatic phosphites.

Preparation and investigations of polyimides III

Polyamide acid powders of pyromellitic dianhydride and 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether base were prepared in tetrahydrofuran, in the heterogeneous phase. The imidization of these powders was investigated by thermogravimetric, calorimetric and mass-spectrometric methods.According to the TG and DSC data, the temperatures of the beginning and maximum rate of imidization increase with increasing temperature and duration of imidization.A linear relationship has been found to exist between the weight loss and the reaction heat of the imidization process. The reaction heat corresponding to unit weight loss increases with decreasing molecular weight.Dicarboxylic anhydrides, applied as chain-terminators, do not affect the thermal properties of polyamide acids to an appreciable extent.Imidization has been found to be a complex process, in which decomposition of polyamide acids also takes place besides dehydrocyclization. The kinetics of imidization are satisfactorily described by a first-order dehydrocyclization and a parallel first-order decomposition. The weight loss during imidization is higher than the loss calculated on the basis of dehydrocyclization, which must be due to the release of the decomposition products of the polyamide acid, the release of solvated or complexed tetrahydrofuran, or that of possible oligomeric clusters.

Zusammenfassung Polyamidsäurepulver von Pyromellitdianhydrid und 4,4-Diamino-diphenyläther wurden in Tetrahydrofuran in heterogener Phase hergestellt. Die Imidisierung dieser Pulver wurde durch thermogravimetrische, kalorimetrische und Massenspektrometrische Methoden verfolgt.Nach TG- und DSC-Angaben steigt die Temperatur des Beginns und der Maximalgeschwindigkeit der Imidisierung mit steigender Temperatur und Imidisierungsdauer an.Ein linearer Zusammenhang wurde zwischen Gewichtsverlust und Reaktionswärme des Imidisierungsvorgangs gefunden. Die der Einheit des Gewichtsverlustes entsprechende Reaktionswärme nimmt mit abnehmendem Molekulargewicht zu.Als Kettenende angewandte Dicarboxylanhydride beeinflussen die thermischen Eigenschaften der Polyamidsäuren nicht in merklichem Maße.Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Imidisierung ein komplexer Vorgang ist, in dem außer der Dehydrocyclisierung auch eine Zersetzung der Polyamidsäuren stattfindet. Die Kinetik der Imidisierung kann durch eine Dehydrocyclisierung erster Ordnung und eine parallele Zersetzungsreaktion erster Ordnung befriedigend beschrieben werden. Der Gewichtsverlust während der Imidisierung ist höher als der aufgrund der Dehydrocyclisierung berechnete Verlust, was der Abspaltung von Zersetzungsprodukten der Polyamidsäure, der Freisetzung von solvatiertem oder komplexgebundenem Tetrahydrofuran oder eventueller oligomerer Einschlüsse zuzuschreiben ist.

Résumé Les polyamides en poudre résultant du dianhydride pyromellitique et de l'éther 4,4-diaminodiphénylique ont été préparés en phase hétérogène dans le té trahydrofuranne. La formation d'imides à partir de ces poudres a été étudiée par thermogravimétrie, calorimétrie et spectrométrie de masse.D'après les résultats obtenus par TG et DSC, les températures du début de la formation d'imide et la vitesse maximale de la réaction augmentent avec l'accroissement de la température et de la durée de la réaction.On a trouvé une corrélation linéaire entre la perte de poids et la chaleur de formation de l'imide. La chaleur de réaction correspondant à l'unité de perte de poids augmente quand le poids moléculaire diminue.Les anhydrides dicarboxyliques utilisés en bouts de chaines n'ont pas d'effet appréciable sur les propriétés thermiques des polyamides.On a établi que la formation d'imide est un processus complexe, au cours duquel, outre la déshydrocyclomérisation, une décomposition des polyamides a également lieu. La cinétique de la réaction peut être décrite de façon satisfaisante par une déshydrocyclomérisation du premier ordre et une réaction de décomposition parallèle également du premier ordre. Lors de la formation d'imide la perte de poids est plus élevée que celle calculée à partir de la déshydrocyclomé risation, ce qui provient sans doute du dégagement des produits de décomposition du polyamide, du dégagement du tétrahydrofuranne solvaté ou complexé ou bien de celui des inclusions oligomères éventuelles.

Thermal properties of elastin-fatty acid complexes

Differential scanning calorimetry has been applied to study the interaction of fibrous or of soluble elastin with fatty acids and their trialanine derivatives. The DSC curves of elastin-fatty acid preparations exhibited an endothermic transition in the temperature range - 10° to + 50°. The peak temperatures and the enthalpy changes were independent of the chain length and of the saturation of the fatty acid. The interaction with the trialanine derivatives was similar to that with the fatty acids.Such interactions between elastin and lipids might take place in vivo as well, resutling in the loss of elasticity of elastin fibres and consequently in the development of arteriosclerotic lesions.

Zusammenfassung Zur Untersuchung der Wechselwirkung zwischen dem fibrösen oder lösbaren Elastin, und den Fettsäuren und ihren Trialanin-Derivaten wurde die DSC-Methode angewandt. Die DSC-Kurven der Elastin-Fettsäure-Präparate zeigten in dem Temperaturbereich von - 10° bis + 50° einen endothermischen Übergang. Die Peak-Temperaturen und die Änderungen der Enthalpie waren von der Kettenlänge und der Sättigung der Fettsäure unabhängig. Die Wechselwirkung mit den Trialanin-Derivaten war der mit den Fettsäuren ähnlich.Solche Wechselwirkungen zwischen Elastin und den Lipiden können auch in vivo stattfinden, und die Abnahme der Elastizität der Elastin-Fibern, und folglich die Entfaltung der arteriosklerotischen Schädigungen resultieren.

Effect of the roughness factor on the surface oxidation of ruthenium catalysts

The surface oxidation of ruthenium catalysts with different roughness factor values has been analyzed. It is shown that electro formation of oxidized species on the exposed surface of ruthenium is strongly affected by the rougher characteristics of the surface. This effect has been explained through the addition and removal of protons to and from the oxidized species.

Estimation of the reactivities of some iron(III)oxides by emanation thermal analysis

A new method for estimating the reactivity of iron(III) oxide in a solid-state reaction is proposed. The method is based on the release of radioactive inert gas atoms (²²²Rn emanation) from a mixture of solids previously labeled with the inert gas atoms. By measuring the rate of release of emanation as a function of temperature, information can be obtained about the solid-state reaction and the final reaction product. The reactivities of some iron(III) oxide samples of different thermal histories and origins have been estimated in the solid-state reaction with zinc oxide labeled with the parent isotope of the emanation,²²⁸Th. The results of the proposed method, found more objective than common methods, are compared with surface area measurements on the tested samples.

Zusammenfassung Eine neue Methode zur Abschätzung der Reaktivität von Eisen(III)oxid in der Festphasenreaktion wird vorgeschlagen. Die Methode beruht auf der Freisetzung radioaktiver Inertgasatome²²⁰Rn (Emanation) aus dem Gemisch ursprünglich mit Inertgasatomen markierter Festkörper. Durch Messung der Geschwindigkeit der abgegebenen Emanation in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur können Informationen über die Festphasenreaktion und die Reaktions-Endprodukte erhalten werden. Die Ermittlung der Reaktivität einiger Eisen(III) oxid-Proben verschiedener Wärmegeschichte und verschiedenen Ursprungs wurde in der Festphasenreaktion mittels Zinkoxid durchgeführt, das mit dem Ausgangsisotopen der Emanation,²²⁸Th, markiert worden war. Die Resultate der vorgeschlagenen Methode, welche den üblichen gegenüber für objektiver gefunden wurde, werden mit den Oberflächenmessungen der geprüften Proben verglichen.

Résumé On propose une nouvelle méthode pour estimer la réactivité de l'oxyde de fer(III) dans les réactions en phase solide. Elle repose sur le dégagement des atomes du gaz inerte radioactif²²⁰Rn (radon) du mélange des solides préalablement marqués par les atomes de gaz inerte. En mesurant la vitesse de dégagement du radon en fonction du temps on peut obtenir des renseignements sur la réaction dans l'état solide ainsi que sur le produit final de la réaction. On a pu estimer la réactivité en phase solide de quelques échantillons d'oxyde de fer(III), d'histoire thermique et d'origine différentes, vis-à-vis de l'oxyde de zinc marqué avec l'isotope parent du radon:²²⁸Th. On a comparé les résultats de la méthode proposée, estimée plus objective que celles habituellement utilisées, à ceux des mesures de surfaces spécifiques des échantillons étudiés.

Reactions of isoflavone and 2-hydroxyisoflavanone with sodium ethoxide in anhydrous ethanol

Recent observation /1,4/ on the existence and unreactivity of IV under basic conditions, as well as its part in the inhibitory effect on the decomposition into deoxybenzoin is unequivocally proved by comparing the decompositions of I and VI. It is also shown that the decomposition of I is detemined neither by the character of the solvent nor by the nucleophilic character of the reactant, but by the possibility of the formation of IV.
