Thermochemically induced binding of methyl orange to polycations containing primary amine groups

The thermochemical transformation of electrostatically formed complexes of methyl orange (MO) with polycations containing primary amine groups such as ammonium salts afforded new polymers with a high concentration of covalently bound 4‐N,N‐dimethylaminoazobenzene groups in the side chain. Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and poly(β‐aminoethylene acrylamide hydrochloride) were employed as support polycations for MO. The transformation of sulfonate–ammonium ion pairs into sulfonamide bonds, via heating at an elevated temperature, was supported by the polymer properties before and after the thermal treatment. The polymer structure changes were monitored with elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR, and ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The spacer length between the backbone and azobenzene structures used as side chains strongly influenced the polymer properties before and after the heat‐induced reaction. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Deuterium exchange of 4-pyrimidones and 4-pyrimidthiones

The hydrogen-deuterium exchange of H-2 in 4-pyrimidone, a number of 1- and 3-alkyl-4-pyrimidones and several of their thione analogs in deuterium oxide at moderate temperatures is reported. This reaction is apparently not susceptible to acid or base catalysis. Cations of the 4-pyrimidones were found not to exchange H-2 at all in acid media. Catalytic amounts of bases do not alter the exchange rates whereas more concentrated alkali decompose the pyrimidone. However, 1,4(3,4)-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-4-oxopyrimidinium iodide (and its 6-methyl analog) exchange H-2 quite rapidly in neutral deuterium oxide, almost instantly when triethylamine is added as a catalyst, and very slowly in dilute solutions of deuterium chloride in deuterium oxide. Mechanisms are proposed to account for these phenomena.

(1-Adamantanethio)pyridines and tetrahydropyridines from the reaction of 1-adamantanethiol with pyridine I-oxide in acetic anhydride

The reaction of pyridine 1-oxide with 1-adamantanethiol in acetic anhydride produced a mixture of 2- and 3-(1-adamantanethio)pyridines, 1-aeetyl-2-(1-adamantanethio)-3-hydroxy-4-acetoxy-1,2,3,4-telrahydropyridine and the corresponding 3-acetoxyderivative. Pure substances were separated by means of column chromatography on alumina. The tetrahydropyridines were identified by means of their proton magnetic and mass spectra. 4-(1-Adamantanethio)pyridine was synthesized from 4-chloropyridinc and 1-adamantanethiol. The three isomeric (1-adamantanethio)-pyridines were, each, cleaved by concentrated hydrochloric acid to give 1-chloroadamantane and the corresponding pyridinethiol.     

Acidité dans le nitrométhane: III. Détermination électrochimique de la basicité du nitrométhane — Corrélation Dn/Eo(Hs+/H2/

The use of the complex acid HAlCl₄ (HCl+AlCl₃) permits the detemrination of the standard potential of the hydrogen electrode in nitromethane. The result (E₀(H_s⁺/H₂)=0.5 V vs. Fc/Fc⁺, Fc=ferrocene) shows that nitromethane is very weakly basic. This measurement is confirmed by showing that the standard potential of the hydrogen electrode in various solvents is linked to Gutmann's donor numbers of these solvents. The E₀(H_s⁺/H₂) value obtained in nitromethane belongs to the correlation line.     

Über die Konstitution eines Nebenalkaloides aus Adhatoda vasica Nees

Zusammenfassung Das in der vorangehenden Mitt. vonE. Späth undF. Gandini-Kesztler beschriebene Nebenalkaloid wird auf synthetischem Wege mit dem 6-Hydroxy-peganin identifiziert. Die phenolische OH-Gruppe steht also, bezogen auf Formel III, nicht an der Stelle, welche dem CH₃O des Harmins entspricht.     

LETTUCE SEED GERMINATION: EFFECTS OF HIGH TEMPERATURE AND OF REPEATED FAR-RED TREATMENT IN RELATION TO PHYTOCHROME

Abstract— At 37°C the active form of phytochrome in lettuce seed cannot function to promote subsequent germination. This effect of high temperature is distinct from thermal acceleration of dark reversion from the active form of phytochrome to the inactive form, and may be due to reversible denaturation of phytochrome.
Repeated brief irradiations with far-red light inhibit subsequent germination in the whole seed, whereas a similar irradiation regime results in a strong enhancement of the development of growth potential (ability to expand against an externally-imposed osmotic restraint) in the excised axial portion of the seed. A possible explanation for these two opposing results, in volving two different pigment systems with effective loci in different parts of the seed, is suggested.     

Über die Bestimmung der Richtung von Übergangsmomenten in länglichen Molekülen aus Messungen des IR-Dichroismus, 1. Mitt.: Grundlegende theoretische Behandlung

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine allgemeine Beziehung zwischen dem dichroitischen Verhältnis, dem Ausmaß der Orientierung und dem Winkel zwischen der Richtung des Übergangsmomentes und der Molekül-Längsachse abgeleitet. Mit dieser Beziehung ist es prinzipiell möglich, auch bei nicht vollständiger Orientierung der Moleküle eine genaue Bestimmung der Richtung von Übergangsmomenten vorzunehmen.

Determination of the direction of transition moments on oblong molecules by measurement of infrared dichroism, I

A general relation between dichroic ratio, degree of orientation and the angle between direction of transition moment and longitudinal axis of the molecule is derived. By this relation it will be possible in prineiple to determine exactly the direction of transition moments even when the molecules of the sample are only partially oriented.
