1-Hydro-3-vinylhexamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and its polymerization

1,3-Dimethyl-3-vinyl-1,3-dichlorosiloxane is prepared by partial cohydrolysis of methylvinyldichlorosilane and methyldichlorosilane, and its cohydrolysis with sym-tetra-methyldichlorodisiloxane gives 1-hydro-3-vinylhexamethyl-cyclotetrasiloxane. A study is made of the kinetics of the polymerization of the latter in CCL₄ in the presence of H₂PtCl₆ · 6H₂O

Contribution a l'électrochimie des thiols et disulfures : Partie I. Cystéine et cystine

A study of the electrochemical characteristics of cysteine and cystine was carried out by d.c., a.c. and differential pulse polarography. Up to three waves were observed depending on the concentration and pH. The waves of the two amino acids could be separated in a borate buffer of pH 9.2. Differential pulse polarography made it possible to determine as little 0.12 mg of cysteine and 0.24 mg of cystine per litre.
