Synthese von 3-desoxy-3-amino-vitamin D3 und 3-desoxy-3-epiamino-vitamin D3 und D2

Vitamin D₂ and D₃ are transformed with triphenylphosphane-diethylazodicarboxylate-HN₃ into the epimeric azidoderivatives 1 and 3 with inversion of the configuration at C-3. Reduction with LiAlH₄ yields 3-desoxy-3-epiamino-vitamin D₂ and D₃2 and 4, which are characterized as their acetamides 2a and 4a. Furthermore epivitamin D₃-p-nitrobenzoate 5 is produced by reaction of vitamin D₃ with triphenyl- phosphanediethylazodicarboxylate-p-nitrobenzoic acid, which yields epivitamin D₃5a after saponification. Utilizing the same method as above leads with epivitamin D₃ to 5a 3-desoxy-3-azidovitamin D₃6, which is reduced to 3-desoxy-3-amino-vitamin D₃7 by LiAlH₄ and characterized as its acetamide 7a.

Intermolecular forces for D2, N2, O2, F2 and CO2

The intermolecular potentials for D₂, N₂, O₂, F₂ and CO₂ are determined on the basis of the second virial coeffincients, the polarizabilities parallel and perpendicular to the molecular axes, and the electric quadrupole moment. The repulsive parts of the potentials are taken from the corresponding Kihara core-potentials. Effects of the octopolar induction are taken into consideration in a unique way. The potential depends on relative orientations of the two molecules as well as the distance r between the molecular centers. This dependence is shown in graphs. A measure of the anisotropy of the potential depth is 0.72 for CO₂ 0.36 for D₂, and smaller than 0.27 for N₂ O₂ and F₂. The remarkable anisotropy for CO₂ and D₂ is due to strong electrostatic quadrupole interactions.     

Heat capacity and thermodynamic functions of MnBr2 · 4D2O and MnCl2 · 4D2O

The heat capacities of MnBr₂ · 4D₂O and MnCl₂ · 4D₂O have been experimentally determined from 1.4 to 300 K. The smoothed heat capacity and thermodynamic functions (H°_TH°₀) and S°_T are reported for the two compounds over the temperature range 10 to 300 K. The error in the thermodynamic functions at 10 K is estimated to be 3%. Additional error in the tabulated values arising from the heat capacity data above 10 K is thought to be less than 1%. A λ-shaped heat capacity anomaly was observed for MnCl₂ · 4D₂O at 48 K. The entropy associated with the anomaly is 1.2 ± 0.2 J/mole K.     

The diffraction of H2, D2 from solid LiF

The collision of H₂ and D₂ molecules with the (001) face of LiF is studied theoretically using the close coupling formalism. The method includes excited states of the diatomic molecule but neglects all couplings to phonons or the possibility of fragmentation of the incident molecule. Using a simple model potential a series of calculations for comparison with experimental data is carried out. Excellent agreement is obtained with the trends obeserved experimentally, and the quantitative agreement is also good.     

Endothermic reactions of Ni+ with H2, HD and D2

An ion-beam apparatus is employed to study the reaction of Ni⁺ with H₂, HD, and D₂ as a function of kinetic energy. These reactions lead to the endothermic formation of NiH⁺, NiH⁺ and NiD⁺, and NiD⁺, respectively. Interpretation of the threshold for these processes yields the average bond energies, D⁰(Ni⁺H) = 1.86 ± 0.09 eV and D⁰(Ni⁺D) = 1.90 ± 0.14 eV. The total reaction cross sections for all three systems are similar; however, a striking isotope effect is observed for Ni⁺ reacting with HD. The dependence of the cross sections on relative kinetic energy is discussed in terms of simple models for reaction.     

Convergent and stereoselective synthesis of vitamin D3 via 3,5-cyclovitamins D3

A possible transition state for the H2 + D2 exchange reaction

A proposal for a possible transition state for the H₂ + D₂ exchange reaction follows from an analysis of the Jahn-Teller instability of tetrahedral H₄. The suggested pathway involves pseudo-rotation in the e deformation space, with a compressed tetrahedral structure corresponding to the reaction saddle point.

Kinetic study of gas-phase Lu(D3/2) with O2, N2O and CO2

The second-order rate constants of gas-phase Lu(²D_3/2) with O₂, N₂O and CO₂ from 348 to 573 K are reported. In all cases, the reactions are relatively fast with small barriers. The disappearance rates are independent of total pressure indicating bimolecular abstraction processes. The bimolecular rate constants (in molecule⁻¹ cm³ s⁻¹) are described in Arrhenius form by k(O₂)=(2.3±0.4)×10⁻¹⁰exp(−3.1±0.7 kJmol⁻¹/RT), k(N₂O)=(2.2±0.4)×10⁻¹⁰exp(−7.1±0.8 kJmol⁻¹/RT), k(CO₂)=(2.0±0.6)×10⁻¹⁰exp(−7.6±1.3 kJmol⁻¹/RT), where the uncertainties are ±2σ.     

Complex formation in proton—D2 collisions

Classical trajectory calculations are used to compute the formation cross section (suitably defined) for strongly interacting collision complexes formed in H⁺ + D₂ collisions in the kinetic energy range from 0.1 to 4 eV. This cross section corresponds to the usual Langevin cross section only if the kinetic energy is less than 0.2 eV, and provided that little initial excitation is present, while for higher kinetic energies it drops exponentially. It is in much better agreement with absolute integral cross sections observed experimentally than the latter. Further study shows that it is the contribution from large orbital anglular momenta, which the Langevin cross section overestimates. Orbiting complexes (of H⁺ around D₂) play a negligible role, and are very short-lived. The lifetime of strongly coupled complexes is estimated to be 450 E^?1.3 fs, where E is the total energy in eV. The use of trajectory data to improve Light's phase space theory is discussed.     

Kinetics of HD exchange in the reaction of HBF2 with D2

The rate constant for the unusually rapid HD exchange reaction of D₂ with HBF₂ : D₂(g) + HBF₂(g) → DBF₂(g) + HD(g) has been measured (k₂(298K) = (7.42 ± 2.0) × 10^?23 cm³/molecule s). The activation energy for this reaction has been estimated to be 17.8 ± 1.2 kcal/mole. The mechanism probably involves a multicenter orbital interaction between D₂ and HBF₂.

Simultaneous vibration-vibration and vibration-translation transitions in H2 + D2 at high collision energies

The coupling between VV and VT transitions in H₂(2) + D₂(0) → H₂(1) + D₂(1) and D₂(2) +H₂(0) → D₂(1) + H₂(1) at high collision energies is investigated by use of the solution of the Schrodinger equation of motion. The coupling is sufficiently important that the energy exchange processes cannot be described by the VV mechanism alone.
