The surface activity of the lower homologues of n-alkylammonium chlorides in aqueous solutions. Effect of hydrophobic hydration

Summary The surface tensions of aqueous solutions ofn-alkylammonium chlorides (methyl to hexyl) have been measured at 25 °C. With methylammonium chloride the surface tension increased with concentration, whereas with ethylammonium chloride and higher homologues, the surface tension decreased with concentration. The results suggest that this transition is attributed to the effect of hydrophobic hydration. For propylammonium chloride and higher homologues, the relation between the surface tension lowering da and the concentrationC in the range of 0–10 dyne/cm, can be expressed by the equation; = AC + BC, whereA andB are constants. The surface tension coefficientB has been found to increase approximately twofold for each additional CH₂ group of alkyl chain.

Zusammenfassung Es wurden die Oberflächenspannungen wäßriger Lösungen vonn-Alkylammoniumchloriden (Methyl- bis Hexylammoniumchloride) bei 25 °C gemessen. Für Methylammoniumchlorid nimmt die Oberflächenspannung mit der Konzentration zu, aber bei allen höheren Homologen mit der Konzentration ab. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß dieser Übergang durch die hydrophobe Hydration bedingt wird. Für Propylammonium-chlorid und die höheren Homologen wird die Beziehung zwischen der Erniedrigung der Oberflächenspannung und der KonzentrationC in dem Bereich von 1 bis 10 dyn/cm durch die folgende Gleichung ausgedrückt: = AC + BC (A undB sind Konstanten). Es wurde gefunden, daß B für jede zusätzliche CH₂-Gruppe etwa um den Faktor 2 größer wird.

     

A mew method of synthesis of 1,2,3,4-telrahydro-5H-5-oxo-1,4-benzodiazepines

A new one-step facile method for the synthesis of 1,12,3,4-tetrahydro5H-5-oxo-1,4-benzo-diuzepines is described. The method involves the addition of methyl anlhranilates to elhyl-enimine followed by intramolecular cyclizalion of the resulting intermediate compounds. Another attempted method starting from β-anilinoethylisocyanales is also described.     

A field theoretical approach to calculate electronic Born-Oppenheimer coupling terms

In this paper we suggest to consider the spatial distribution of the Born-Oppenheimer nonadiabatic coupling terms as fields which are created by sources, located at degeneracy points, and which can be derived using the ordinary mathematical tools of field theory. It is shown that the curl-divergence equations as formed within a given Hilbert space [M. Baer, Chem. Phys. Lett. 35, 112 (1975)] can be converted into a set of inhomogeneous coupled Poisson equations which are solved for a given set of boundary conditions. The method is applied to the three-state Hilbert subspace of the H(3) system. The numerical results are compared with ab initio calculations for which a very encouraging fit is found.

Zur Umsetzung des 3,4,5,6-Tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-4,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-thiazin-2-thions mit sekundären Aminen

Tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-trimethyl-1,3-thiazine-2-thione (1) reacts with secondary amines via the dialkylammonium-3-oxoalkyldithiocarbamate3, either via isothiocyanates6 to 4-dialkylaminodihydro-2(1H)-pyridinethiones7 or to dialkylammonium dithiocarbamates (13), depending on the amine used and the reaction conditions. Subsequently, 6-dialkylaminotetrahydro-1,3-thiazine-2-thiones11 or tetrahydro-6-mercapto-1,3-thiazine-2-thione10 are formed. On being heated to reflux,11 reacts to pyridinethione7 and 4-dialkylaminodihydrothiopyranthione19. With secondary amines only13 is formed from tetrahydro-6-hydroxytetramethyl-1,3-thiazine-2-thione20. The reaction of dihydrotrimethyl-1,3-thiazine-2-thione21 with secondary amines leads to N,N-dialkylthioureas16 or dialkylammonium thiocyanates17 and with dialkylformamides 4-dialkylaminodihydropyridinethiones7 are formed. Dihydrotetramethyl-1,3-thiazine-2-thione24 reacts neither with secondary amines nor with dialkylformamides.     

Koordinationschemie von Dinitroresorcin mit Kupfer-, Kobalt-, Nickel-, Eisen- und Zinksalzen

The reactions of the bidentate dinitrosoresorcinol (DNR) with copper, cobalt, nickel, iron and zinc salts were investigated. This ligand was found to react with these metal salts in aqueous media where hydrogen ion was confirmed to be liberated except in case of iron. The solid complexes were prepared in alcoholic media. Chemical analyses, magnetic and spectral data were compatible to determine the structure of these complexes and their mode of chelation.

Beiträge zur Chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 19. Mitt.: Die elektrochemische Oxidation von Pyrromethenonen und Pyrromethenen (Gallenpigment-Partialstrukturen)

The electrochemical oxidation of arylmethylene-pyrrolinones, pyrromethenones and pyrromethenes as representative bile pigment partial structure models was investigated by means of a rotating disc platinum electrode using acetonitrile as the solvent. Two different oxidation reactions were found. The first reaction being a reversible one-electron oxidation with compounds of the arylmethylene-pyrrolinone series and pyrromethenones which are unsubstituted in position 5 of the pyrrole ring. A two step reaction (the first one reversible, the second irreversible) on the other hand was found to be typical for pyrromethenones bearing a methyl group in this position.Through protonation the first step is at a higher potential, whereas the second one is lowered and becomes reversible. The resulting oxidation pattern can be interpreted analogous to the oxidation of hydroquinones in aprotic solvents.The geometrical isomers of a pyrromethenone were oxidized at appr. the same potential, but there is a strong dependence of the potential of the first oxidation step on the substitution: a higher degree of alkylation favours oxidation by lowering the oxidation potential.

Application of capillary zone electrophoresis and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography in the biopharmaceutical industry for the quantitative analysis of the monosaccharides released from a highly glycosylated therapeutic protein

Two assays for the quantitative determination of the neutral and amino-monosaccharides attached to a therapeutic glycoprotein were developed using capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and RP-HPLC. These assays meet the strict batch release requirements of the quality control in biopharmaceutical industry. The monosaccharides were released from the glycoprotein by hydrolysis with 2N trifluoroacetic acid. In the CZE assay the monosaccharides were reacetylated prior to derivatization with 8-aminopyrenesulfonic acid (APTS), reacetylation in the glycoprotein matrix was investigated in detail. The RP-HPLC method used pre-column derivatization with anthranilic acid in methanol-acetate-borate reaction medium; reacetylation was not necessary. However, epimerization of the different monosaccharides was observed and studied in detail. For the quantitative assay, separation of the amino-monosaccharide epimers had to be developed. The HPLC assay was validated.     

Darstellung und Struktur von Pyrazolyl-Kationen mit Polymethin- und Methan-Gerüst

The 4-pyrazoline-3-one1 reacts with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde to yield the stable asymmetric cyanine dye2b which reacts with1 to give the colorless (aryl) (dipyrazolyl) methane3b. Using aldehydes with less cationstabilizing groups the polymethines2 are not isolated but only the methanes3. The structures of2b and3 are discussed by¹ H,¹³C and Hetero NMR spectra.     

Reactions of pyrrolidine enamines of cyclic and acyclic 3,4-dioxobutanoic acid Derivatives with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. A new case of atropoisomerism.

Reaction conditions and structure of the starting enamines (cyclic or open-chain) determine greatly the final products of the title reactions. Whereas in benzene and acetonitrile, DMAD and 1 give a mixture of the diastereoisomeric dienamines 5, in methanol they afford pirrolizine 3. Enaminofuranones 2 and 10 furnish the corresponding “Michael adducts” 7a,b,c and 11a,b,c but fail to yield pirrolizines. It has been demonstrated that above b and c adducts differ exclusively on the arrangement of groups around a chiral axis.
