Zwei neue pentacyclische dimere des cycloheptatriens

Titanium - catalyzed dimerization of cycloheptatriene affords pentacyclo[7.5.0.0^2,8.0^5,14.0^7,11]tetradeca-3,12-diene, $\text{3}$, and pentacyclo[8.4.0.0^3,7.0^4,14.0^6,11]tetradeca-8,12-diene, $\text{4}$. By heating, $\text{3}$ is converted quantitatively into $\text{4}$.     

Ion-pair extraction of pentacaine from biological materials

Simple and rapid extraction method for quantitative and selective isolation of the new local anesthetic pentacaine from biological materials is proposed. The technique of ion-pair formation was found to be more effective than usual access using the extraction of the nonionized species. The extraction yield of the unchanged molecule³H-pentacaine after double extraction and single scrubbing was found to be more than 90%. The radiochemical purity was over 90%. The method appears suitable for pharmacokinetic studies in the animal body.     

The extraction of HCl by TDPO in benzene

The results of the extraction of HCl by TDPO in benzene and the co-extraction of water are discussed. From the infrared spectra of normal (HCl-H₂O) and deuterated (DCl-D₂O) systems it may be concluded that TDPO·HCl·H₂O is formed in the organic phase on extraction from aqueous solutions with c_HCl≤5M, and TDPO·HCl with c_HCl>5M. Compounds such as TDPO·2HCl are found in the organic phase if there is an excess of HCl in the organic phase. From cryoscopic and viscosity measurements of the organic phase, conclusions can be made about the presence of polymeric compounds in this phase.     

On-line sorbent extraction, preconcentration and determination of lead by atomic absorption spectrometry

A method for the quantitative preconcentration of lead based on an existing batch process was developed for implementation in a flow system including a flame AAS detector. Lead can be quantitatively preconcentrated as pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate or dithizonate on an activated carbon minicolumn. The chelates are eluted in methyl isobutyl ketone and introduced directly into the nebuliser-burner. An enrichment factor of 50 is typically obtained for a preconcentration time of 2 min (lead can be determined at concentrations between 15 and 400 ng/ml), which results in a throughput of ca. 25 samples per hr. The sensitivity achieved with the two reagents is similar, but the selectivity provided by APDC exceeds that of dithizone. Based on the results obtained in the determination of lead in reference materials (minerals and skim milk), the proposed APDC method is applicable to real samples.     

Solubility product relations in the rare earth hydrous hydroxides

The solubility products for some rare earth hydroxides and their temperature dependence have been shown. Greater solubility is shown for larger atomic radii and for lower temperature.     

Electroviscous Effect in Dilute Suspensions of Alumina

A study on the electroviscous effect of alumina suspensions has been made. At the low volume fraction of the particles studied here only a first-order effect was detected. Ubbelohde-type capillary viscometers have been used. A simple method to determine the hydrodynamic constant k(1) has been proposed. The experimental primary electroviscous coefficients corresponding to different electrolyte concentrations have been compared with two different theoretical approachs (I. G. Watterson, and L. R. White, J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. 2 77, 1115 (1981); F. J. Rubio-Hernández, E. Ruiz-Reina, and A. I. Gómez-Merino, J. Colloid Interface Sci. 206, 334 (1998)) and the results suggest that the presence of a dynamic Stern layer plays a certain role in this effect. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

Maßanalytische Bestimmung von Merkapto-Benzthiazol im Wärmeaustauscher eines Reaktors

Zusammenfassung Eine volumetrische Methode zur Bestimmung geringer Mengen Merkapto-Benzthiazol in der Kühlflüssigkeit von Reaktoren wurde ausgearbeitet. Es wird in ammoniakalischem Medium mit ammoniakalisehem Silbernitrat titriert. Das Merkapto-Benzthiazol bildet mit Silberionen einen weißen, flockigen Niederschlag. Der Endpunkt der Titration wird mit Hilfe der Dead-stop-Indikation bestimmt. Er wird durch eine sprunghafte Stromstärkeerhöhung (Pt-Pt-Elektrode, 500 mV und 10^–7 A Empfindlichkeit des Galvanometers) angezeigt. Die Methode wird durch Triäthanolamin, Glykol, geringe Mengen von Chlorid und Phosphat nicht gestört.

Summary A volumetric method has been developed for determining slight amounts of mercapto-benzthiazol in the cooling liquid of reactors. It is titrated in ammoniacal medium with ammoniacal silver nitrate. The mercapto-benzthiazol yields a colorless flocculent precipitate with silver ions. The endpoint of the titration is found by the dead stop indication. It is signalled by a sudden jump in the current strength (Pt-Pt-electrode, 500 mV and 10^–7 amp sensitivity of the galvanometer). The method is not impaired by triethanolamine, glycol, slight amounts of chloride, nor by phosphate.

Résumé On a mis au point une méthode volumétrique pour le dosage de faibles quantités de mercaptobenzothiazole dans le liquide de refroidissement des réacteurs. On titre en milieu ammoniacal par le nitrate d'argent ammoniacal. Le mercaptobenzothiazole forme un précipité blanc, floconneux avec les ions argent. On détermine le point d'équivalence du titrage par la méthode du «dead stop end point». Il se trouve signalé par une augmentation brusque de l'intensité (électrodes Pt-Pt, 500 mv et 10^–7 A de sensibilité du galvanomètre). La triéthanolamine, le glycol, de petites quantités de chlorures et de phosphates, ne gênent pas.

HPLC-Electrochemical detection with graphite-poly (tetrafluoroethylene) electrode Determination of the fungicides thiram and disulfiram

The suitability of composite graphite-poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (Teflon) electrodes as amperometric indicator electrodes in HPLC detection is demonstrated. The determination of the fungicides thiram and disulfiram in the presence of ziram has been chosen as an analytical problem. The optimization of working conditions, such as the choice of the organic solvent used in the mobile phase as well as its percentage, the potential applied to the composite electrode, and the time elapsed between mixing the carbamates and the injection, has been accomplished by using the wall-jet flow-cell configuration. The effect of the acetonitrile percentage used in the mobile phase on the retention of thiram, disulfiram, ziram and phenol was evaluated. Resolution up to the baseline can be achieved with 45% acetonitrile. The sensitivity of the determination of thiram and disulfiram in the presence of a constant concentration of ziram is slightly better when using a wall-jet cell; however, the background current is higher, as well as the baseline noise and the time necessary to achieve stabilization of the baseline before the injection. Lower limits of detection for both fungicides, as well as a better repeatability, were obtained when using a thin-layer flow cell configuration. As an application, the determination of thiram in spiked apple samples, at a level of 0.5 mg thiram kg(-1) apple, has been carried out with a mean recovery of 97 +/- 3% for a significance level of 0.05.
