Divinyl Sulfoxide: XI. Selective Addition of Carbonodithioate Anions to Divinyl Sulfoxide in the Water-Benzene System

Selective monoaddition of carbonodithioate anions to divinyl sulfoxide gives rise to O-alkyl S-[2-(vinylsulfinyl)ethyl] carbonodithioates [ROC(S)SK, R = Et, Bu; 42–50°C, 6 h, NaHCO₃, aqueous benzene].     

Energy barriers to carousel rearrangements of carbocations: Quantum-chemical calculations vs. experiment

By DFT method energy barriers were calculated for carousel rearrangements of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexenyl, cyclobutenyl, and homotropylium cations. A plausible agreement between calculated and experimental findings was found.     

Calorimetric and Thermal Investigation of Metal Derivatives of 6-aminopicolinic Acid

The comparison of thermal and calorimetric properties of metal derivatives of 6-aminopicolinic acid (APH) is presented. The salts and complexes of APH with Cr(III), Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Co(II)and Ag(I) have been studied by TG-DTA and DSC methods up to 1200°C in a nitrogen atmosphere. Decomposition processes are proposed. The decarboxylation, deamination and carbonation of the organic fragments of molecules take place. The compounds decompose to metal or to metal oxides. The values of the transition enthalpy were determinated. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Enantioseparations using capillary electromigration techniques in nonaqueous buffers

This review summarizes recent developments in the field of enantioseparations in capillary electromigration techniques using nonaqueous background electrolytes. The more established and rather intensively reviewed field of nonaqueous chiral capillary electrophoresis (NAQ-CE) is covered in less detail whereas more attention is paid to the relatively new field of nonaqueous capillary electrochromatography (NAQ-CEC).

Diene Condensation of Cyclopentadiene with Dienophiles of Allylacetylene Series

Diene condensation of cyclopentadiene with 2-substituted allylacetylenes occurs nonselectively at a double and triple bonds; therewith the dienophile activity grows in parallel with the electron-withdrawing properties of the substituent. Depending on electronic character of functional groups the reaction proceeds as neutral diene synthesis. The relative activity of cyclopentadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene in reactions with allylacetylenes is essentially governed by the different distance between the 1,4-reactive sites in these systems.     

Composition and Structure of Films Formed in Etching of Nickel in a Ni(NO3)2 Solution with NiCl2 and NaNO2 Additives

The composition and structure of films formed in etching of nickel in a Ni(NO₃)₂ solution in the presence of Cl^- and NO₂ ^- ions was studied.     

Pulsed photothermal phase-shift spectroscopy for weak absorption measurement

A novel photothermal phase-shift spectroscopy configuration based on the retro-reflected beam interference has been developed and its operational principle is described. The weak absorption measurement ability of this technique is experimentally proven with a water/ethanol solution of standard Pyronine G dye and the limit of detection is found to be 1.8 x 10(-6) absorbance. Potential applications of the technique are discussed.
