Synthesis of indoles from pyridinium salts. 7. Sterically hindered alkyl-3-nitropyridinium salts in the synthesis of indoles

The introduction of bulky alkyl substituents (iso-Pr,tert-Bu) into any positions of the starting 3-nitropyridinium salt only increases the reaction time and decreases the yields of the corresponding alkylindoles somewhat.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 805–810, June, 1989.     

Improved sample preparation method for environmental plutonium analysis by ICP-SFMS and alpha-spectrometry

A rapid and simple sample preparation method for plutonium determination in environmental samples by inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS) and alpha-spectrometry is described. The developed procedure involves a selective CaF₂ co-precipitation for preconcentration followed by extraction chromatographic separation. The proposed method effectively eliminates the possible interferences in mass spectrometric analysis and also removes interfering radionuclides that may disturb alpha-spectrometric measurement. For ²³⁹Pu, ²⁴⁰Pu and ²⁴¹Pu limits of detection of 9.0 fg·g⁻¹ (0.021 mBq), 1.7 fg·g⁻¹ (0.014 mBq) and 3.1 fg·g⁻¹ (11.9 mBq) were achieved by ICP-SFMS, respectively, and 0.02 mBq by alpha-spectrometry. Results of certified reference materials agreed well with the recommended values.

Chiral separation of pyrethroic acids with single isomer permethyl monoamino beta-cyclodextrin selector

Enantiomers and diastereomers of chrysanthemic, permethrinic, and deltamethrinic pyrethroic acids were separated from each other, using positively ionizable permethyl monoamino beta-cyclodextrin (PMMAbetaCD). The highest chiral resolution value was 20.0. The optimum conditions of separation were found to be 16 mM PMMAbetaCD concentration and pH 6.5, where analytes and selector were in oppositely ionized states. Selectivity of PMMAbetaCD proved to be the best among the cyclodextrin derivatives studied.     

Phytoecdysteroids of plants of the genusSilene XIV. Brahuisterone fromSilene brahuica

A new ecdysteroid with the composition C₂₇H₄₄O₆ which has been called brahuisterone has been isolated from the epigeal part of the plantSilene brahuica Boiss. Its chemical and complete spatial structures have been established by spectral studies and the x-ray structural method (diffractometer, Cu-K radiations, 996 reflections, direct method, R=0.119).Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbekistan Republic, Tashkent.
