Hydroxybromierung und Methoxybromierung von (Z)-Cycloocten

In addition totrans-2-bromocyclooctanol andtrans-1,2-dibromocyclooctane,cis-4-bromocyclooctanol,cis-1,4-dibromocyclooctane,trans-1,4-dibromocyclooctane, and (Z)-5-bromocyclooctene are obtained, when (Z)-cyclooctene is treated with N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of water. Similarly the methoxybromination of (Z)-cyclooctene gives transanular products.     

Rapid determination of ethylene glycol at toxic levels in serum and urine

The rapid gas chromatographic detection and determination of ethylene glycol in biological fluids is described. Phenylboronic acid in acetone was used for the esterification of glycol. The phenylboronates of ethylene glycol and 1,2-propylene glycol are not separated on a packed column of medium polarity (OV-17), but they can be separated on a non-polar column (OV-101). In both instances, 1,3-propylene glycol can be used as an internal standard. The method requires only 100 microliters of serum or urine and is suitable for trace analysis in an emergency toxicological laboratory. The utility of the method is demonstrated on two cases of human intoxication with ethylene glycol.     

The convenient route to cd fragment for the synthesis of vitamin D3 relatives

The efficient degradation of $\text{1}$ to the α-methylene ketone $\text{4}$ is described. Compound $\text{4}$ was then converted to the allylic alcohol $\text{8a}$ - the precursor of vitamin D³ relatives.     

Untersuchungen an Alkylmetallalkoxiden der Elemente Aluminium,Gallium und Indium. III. Eigenschaften und Schwingungsspektren von Dialkylgallium- und Indiumalkoxiden

Studies on Alkyl Metal Alkoxides of Aluminium, Gallium, and Indium. III. Properties and Vibrational Spectra of Dialkylgallium- and Indium Alkoxides The preparation and the properties of dialkyl metal alkoxides R₂MOR′ (with R = CH₃, CD₃, C₂H₅; R′ = CH₃, CD₃ and M = Ga, In) are described. The vibrational data (IR and Raman) of the trimeric methyl derivatives point to puckered six-membered M₃O₃-ring systems.     

Rotation about the exocyclic carbon-carbon double bond of amino dienes of the indolo[2,3-a]-and benzo[a]quinolizidine series

Quinolizidines containing an exocyclic double bond at C-2 (1,2) give on mild oxidation the amino dienes (3,4), as mixtures of geometric isomers with respect to the exocyclic double bond. The free enthalpy of activation for the rotation about the double bond has been estimated by NMR.     

Chalkogenolat-lonen und ihre Derivate. I. Darstellung und Eigenschaften salzartiger Chalkogenophenolate

Chalcogenolates and their Derivatives. I. Syntheses and Properties of Ionic Chalcogenophenolates The syntheses and properties of ionic chalcogenophenolates are described. Using liquid ammonia as solvent the alkali chalcogenophenolates M[EPh] (M = Na, K; E = Se, Te; Ph = C₆H₅) have been synthesized via reduction of the diphenyl dichalcogenides with alkali metals. Similarly, the tetraphenylphosphonium chalcogenophenolates [Ph₄P][EPh] (E = S, Se, Te) have been obtained by reacting alkali chalcogenophenolates with tetraphenylphosphonium chloride.     

Reaction of mercury(II) and xylenol orange-I Effect of the buffering media

The influence of the buffering medium on the reaction of Hg(II) with Xylenol Orange has been studied. Amine-type compounds are complexed by Hg(II)/Xylenol Orange with a sharp hyperchromic effect on the reagent itself, at 590 nm, but complex formation of Hg(II)/Xylenol Orange in non-amine-type buffer, such as citric acid-phosphate, gives a hypochromic effect on Xylenol Orange at 580 nm. Hg(II) is determined at pH 7.5 in two ranges of concentration, 2-9 ppm in citrate buffer, measured at 580 nm ( = 2.50 x 10(4)), and 6-11 ppm in hexamine buffer, at 590 nm ( = 4.18 x 10(4)).     

Analytical applications of infra-red spectroscopy : The behaviour of the oxinates of niobium,tantalum and associated elements

The behaviour of the oxinates of niobium, tantalum and associated metals in the infra-red region was studied and a method developed for the determination of niobium and tantalum. Vanadium caused no interference, but other heavy metals, such as molybdenum, manganese and cobalt, which interfered were removed by preliminary treatment when the method was applied to the determination of niobium and tantalum in steels.     

Photosensitive decomposition of organic solvents at 77 degrees K by an aromatic amine, diphenylparaphenylenediamine

Abstract— –By e.s.r. we have studied the photoexcitation of an aromatic amine to its triplet state at 77°K, its photoionization to a radical cation and the simultaneous formation of solvent radicals proceeding from the photosensitization of the organic glassy matrix. In the case of methanol and ethanol matrix we observe approximately one solvent radical per solute radical cation. In the case of isopropanol and methyltetrahydrofuran we find respectively three and two solvent radicals per solute radical cation. The results suggest two possible processes of photosensitization. By successive absorption of two photons, the amine reaches an excited triplet state which is able either to dissociate giving one electron and one cation radical or to transfer its energy to the solvent, this last being decomposed. It is assumed that in the case of methanol and ethanol, the radicals from the solvent are only formed by reaction on the matrix by the released electron, whereas in the case of isopropanol and methyltetrahydrofuran, the second process is prevalent or exclusive.     

Na+ transport across the beta alumina-propylene carbonate interface

Interfacial Na⁺ ion transport between polycrystalline beta alumina and propylene carbonate has been studied using a galvanostatic transient technique which separates interfacial overpotential from bulk resistivity effects. No interfacial polarization is detected during ion entry into beta alumina and exit from beta alumina across a dry interface from 30–1000 μA cm^?2. Transport across an interface contaminated with adsorbed water follows Tafel-type i/E behavior with a transition coefficient (α) of 0.24 and exchange current (i₀) of 3.0×10^?6 A cm^?2 at 23°C. Interfacial transport appears to take place through an intermediate state in which the mobile ion is adsorbed on the interface. Large increases in interfacial polarization occur at both dry and hydrated interfaces for ionic currents exceeding the rate of adsorption or desorption.
