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.

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.     

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.     

Rapid and sensitive liquid chromatographic determination of carbamazepine suitable for use in monitoring multiple-drug anticonvulsant therapy.

A rapid, sensitive and selective method for the determination of carbamazepine and its major metabolite in plasma has been developed. Other commonly used anticonvulsants can be determined in the same procedure without interference. After extraction with dichloromethane, the components are separated by high-pressure liquid chromatography without further clean-up or concentration on a column packed with small-particle silica gel. The mean recovery from plasma is 98.6% with a relative standard deviation of 1.6%. The detection limit for carbamazepine is approximately 2 ng/ml, requiring 1 ml of plasma.     

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)).     

ON THE LUMINESCENCE OF L-TRYPTOPHANE AND l-TYROSINE IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION AT 77dK INDUCED BY X-RAYS AND U.V.-LIGHT

Abstract— The lumincscence arising from L-tryptophane and L-tyrosine in aqueous solutions at 77K during irradiation with u.v.-light and with X-rays has been studied. The spectra obtained with the two types of radiation were largely similar, differing only in that the yields of phosphorescence relative to fluorescence were considerably enhanced in the case of X-irradiation. The decay times observed for the exponentially decaying phosphorescence, being 6.6 sec and 2.7 sec for tryptophane and tyrosine respectively, were the same for both kinds of irradiation. The G-value of the X-ray induced luminescence was about 10 for both tryptophane and tyrosine. Thus, about 30 per cent of the total energy absorbed from X-rays in these compounds was re-emitted as light.
It was concluded that the X-ray induced fluorescence and phosphorescence originate from the same levels as does the luminescence caused by u.v.-light, i.e. the lowest excited singlet and the lowest triplet level of the aromatic structure of these compounds. In the case of X-irradiation the enhanced ratios between the yields of phosphorescence and fluorescence indicated that some process other than excitation directly from the ground state contributed considerably to the luminescence yields. Assuming this process to be a recombination between the ionized molecule and its electron, it was calculated that the contribution to the luminescence yield from excitations directly from the ground state relative to that from ionizations, was negligible for both compounds.

Untersuchungen an oxidischen Katalysatoren. XXIX. Spektroskopische und katalytische Untersuchungen an Ni2+-, Co2+-, Cr3+- und Cu2+-ausgetauschten Mordeniten

Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXIX. Spectroscopic and Catalytic Investigations on Ni²⁺-, Co²⁺-, Cr³⁺-, and Cu²⁺-exchanged Mordenites NiNaM, CoNaM, CrNaM und CuNaM (M = Mordenite) have been characterized by UV-VIS, EPR and i.r. spectroscopy and the results were compared with the catalytic activity and the activity-time-dependence in the cracking of n-octane and with the shape selectivity in the cracking of a n-octane and isooctane mixture. Water molecules acting as ligands of the exchanged cations are able to dissociate yielding Brönsted acidity. Brönsted sites may be regarded as catalytic active centers in the cracking reaction. Unreduced transition metal cations facilitate the “coking” of the mordenite. The unreduced chromium and cobalt cations for which a position within the main channel is expected, affect the diffusion of the branched paraffin molecule thus increasing shape selectivity.
