Triterpene glycosides ofAstragalus and their genins XLV. The chemical transformation of cycloartanes 1. Synthesis of 25-norglycosides

Literature information is given on the current state of the study of the chemical transformation of cycloartane triterpenoids. A method has been developed for the transformation of the genin part of glycosides of 20,24-epoxycycloartan-25-ols with retention of the carbohydrate constituents. Three 25-norglycosides have been synthesized from natural cyclosieversigenin glycosides, namely 16-acetoxy-3,6-dihydroxy-20R,25-norcycloartan-20,24-olide 3-O-[O--L-arabinopyranosyl-(12)--D-xylopyranoside] 6-O--D-xylopyranoside (VIII), sodium 3,6,16,20-tetrahydroxy-20R,25-norcycloartan-24-oate 6-O--D-glucopyranoside 3-O--D-xylopyranoside (XII), and 20R,25-norcycloartane-3,6,16,20,24-pentaol 6-O--D-glucopyranoside 3-O--D-xylopyranoside (XIII).Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent.

Oscillations induced by inflow noise for sequential reactions in a CSTR

Two consecutive reactions in a CSTR are anlyzed for the effect of random fluctuations in the feed rate. It is seen that noise generates oscillations when the reactor is operating at a stable steady state. Sufficient conditions for this are derived.

Sorption of H2, O2 and CO on bimetallic catalysts Pd?Ag/Al2O3 over a wide temperature range

Adsorption of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide on Pd–Ag/Al₂O₃ catalysts of different compositions within the temperature range from 293 to 773 K has been investigated. Adsorption measurements have been carried out by the pulse chromatographic method. The results obtained reflect interactions of the above adsorbates with the alloy surface, strongly enriched in silver atoms, as a result of surface segregation processes.
