On the initial treatment of kinetic data

The kinetic methods usually employed to determine reaction orders involve some sort of mathematical approximation and provide values approximate and very often discrepant. Three methods are reported to determine accurate reaction orders without introducing approximations.

New asterosaponins from the starfishDismolasterias nipon

Three new glycosides, D₁, D₂, and D₃, have been isolated from the Far Eastern starfishDistolasterias nipon. They have been identified by chemical and physicochemical methods as 5-cholestane÷3,6,8,15,24-pentaol 3,24-di-O--D-xylopyranoside, t-cholest-22-ene-3,6,8,15,24-pentaol 3,24-di-O--D-xylopyranoside (II), and 5-cholestane-3,6,8,15,24-pentaol 24-O--D-glucopyranoside 3-O--D-xylopyranoside (III).Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Scientific Center, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

Order and disorder in mixed metal linear chains: The homo and heterobimetallic EDTA (M(H2O)4OIOII)[M′(EDTA)] · 6H2O complexes (M = Mg,Mn, Co,Zn and Ni; M′ = Co,Ni, Cu and Zn)

Summary Polymetallic solid solutions of the ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) and six divalent metal ions exist in the range: MgMnCoZnNiCu(EDTA) · 6H₂O where + + + + + =2, 01, 0,,2, 0, 1.This type of structure is characterized by the presence of two different octahedral carboxylate-bridged coordination sites forming infinite zig-zag chains. Visible and i.r. spectra and t.g.a. analysis show that there is occupational preference for the two coordination sites in the crystalline structure.Due to this preference, and also to the structural features, the heterobimetallic MM(EDTA) · 6H₂O compounds constitute a structurally new class of materials which can be described as ordered alternating-heterobimetallic polymeric coordination complexes.

Conclusions The addition of thioacetic acid to the ⁵ bonds of 16- and 16-mercapto-3-hydroxypregn-5-en-20-one 3,16-diacetates (II) and (III) under radical conditions gives not only trans-diaxial addition products-6,16- and 6,16-dimercapto-3-hydroxy-5o;-pregnan-20-one 3,6,16-triacetates (IV) and (V) -but also cis-addition products-6,16- and 6,16-dimercapto-3-hydroxy-5-pregnan-20-one 3,6,16-triacetates (VI) and (VII).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 405–411, February, 1969.     

Derivatives of 2-mercapto-6-methyluracil

The reaction of the sodium salt of 2-mercapto-6-methyluracil with , -dibromoalkanes Br(CH₂)Br (n=1,4,5,6) has given the corresponding , -bis(4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinylthio) alkanes. The reaction of the same salt with 1,2-dibromoethane gave 7-methyl-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine and 5-methyl-7-oxo-2,3,4,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine, and its reaction with 1,3-dibromopropane led to 8-methyl-6-oxo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyrimidino[2,1-b]-1,3-thiazine.     

Le systeme L-citrulline-eau

Two phase diagrams of the L-citrulline-water system were obtained by using DTA on samples held in sealed glass ampoules. The first one exhibits only the anhydrous solid-liquid-vapour equilibrium, while the second one shows the peritectic decomposition reaction of L-citrulline dihydrate at 61. Tammann's curve does not reveal a maximum point for the dihydrate composition; this point is located in the water-rich part of the diagram. This must be related to the action of a non-negligible vapour pressure. A monotropic polymorphism of L-citrulline is expected. The second diagram is an isochoric (V/m=8 cm³ g^–1) section of theT-V/m-x diagram, which involves the presence of a vapour phase.

Zusammenfassung Zwei Phasendiagramme des L-Citrullin-Wasser-Systems wurden durch DTA von in Glasampullen eingeschmolzenen Proben erhalten. Das erste bezieht sich nur auf das Gleichgewicht zwischen wasserfreiem Festkörper, Flüssigkeit und Dampf, wÄhrend das zweite die peritektische Zersetzungsreaktion von L-Citrullin-Dihydrat bei 61 wiedergibt. Die Tammann-Kurve zeigt kein Maximum bei der dem Dihydrat entsprechenden Zusammensetzung; dieser Punkt befindet sich im wasserreichen Teil des Diagramms. Dies mu\ der Wirkung eines nicht zu vernachlÄssigenden Dampfdruckes zugeschrieben werden. Ein monotroper Polymorphismus von L-Citrullin ist zu erwarten. Das zweite Diagramm ist ein isochorer (V/m=8 cm³ · g^–1) Abschnitt des eine Dampfphase involvierendenT-V/m-x-Diagramms.

Isomerization and hydrogenation of butene-1 on a zirconia aerogel catalyst

Zirconia is well known as a promising support for active metallic centers but it is also by itself an interesting catalyst for reactions involving hydrogen in particular. This paper describes the catalytic properties of ZrO₂-obtained in the form of an aerogel-, towards butene-1-isomerization and/or its hydrogenation at low temperature. Activation at 430°C in vacuum led to the best results in cis-trans isomerization in the temperature range of 80–200°C. It is shown that at temperatures 150°C a carbanion mechanism is operating while at higher temperatures the thermodynamic selectivity is attained. Selective poisoning experiments by NH₃ or CO₂ were carried out in order to identify the catalytic sites for the isomerization of n-butene.

Steroids of the furostan and spirostan series from Nolina microcarpa II. structures of nolinospiroside D and nolinofurosides D, E, and F

Proofs are given of the structures of two new glycosides of the furostan series isolated from the leaves of the plantNolina microscarpa S. Wats. (family Dracaenaceae). Nolinofuroside D is (25S)-furost-5-ene-1,3,22,26-tetraol 1-O--D-galactopyranoside 26-O--D-glucopyranoside (I), and nolinofuroside F is (25S)-furost-5-ene-1,3,22,26-tetraol 1-O--D-fucopyranoside 26-O--D-glucopyranoside 3-O--L-rhamnopyranoside (VII). The latter was characterized as its 22-O-methyl ether (VIII). Nolinofuroside E (IV) has the structure of (25S)-furost-5-ene-1,3,22,26-tetraol 26-O--glucopyranoside 1-O-[O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--D-fucopyranoside], which followed from the structure of the fermentation product (VI). The products of the fermentation of the above-named compounds were present in the plant in only trace amounts. Only one of them — nolinospiroside D (III) — has not been described previously. This monoside of the spirostan series is (25S)-spirost-5-ene-1,3-diol 1-O--D-galactopyranoside.M. V. Frunze Simferopol' State University.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of bromide ions by sodium perborate by transforming to a Landolt process

Sodium perborate was used for oxidation of bromide ions at pH 3.64. The reaction was conducted by potentiometric measurements. The orders with respect to perborate and bromide ions were found to be unity in each reagent and a plausible mechanism was postulated. The effect of temperature was studied in the range of 20–40 °C and the Arrhenius parameters were evaluated.

Triterpene Glycosides of Astragalus and Their Genins. LXI. Occurrence of Cycloartane 6-O-Monodesmosides

Cyclosiversigenin 6-O--L-rhamnopyranoside and 6-O--D-glucopyranoside were isolated fromAstragalus coluteocarpusBoiss. (Leguminosae) andAstragalus dissectusB. Fedtsch. et N. Ivanova, respectively. Cyclosiversigenin 5-O--L-rhamnopyranoside was shown to be an artifact forAstragalus coluteocarpus.Thus, the cyclosiversigenin 6-O--D-glucopyranoside that was isolated from certainAstragalusspecies is hypothesized also to be an artifact. Glycosylation of the 6 -hydroxyl group of cycloartanes by D-glucose and D-xylose, in contrast with other substituents, does not change the low-field position of the PMR signal of the 4-CH ₃ group (1.65 2.01 ppm) that is caused by the influence of deuteropyridine directly on the 6 -hydroxyl. Obviously one of the hydroxyls of the -D-glucopyranoside or -D-xylopyranoside residues has the same effect in this instance.
