Eine neue Mikro- und Ultramikro-Bestimmung von Sauerstoff in organischen Verbindungen mit Hilfe eines W?rmeleitf?higkeitsdetektors

Zusammenfassung Zur Bestimmung des Sauerstoffs wird die organische Probe in Helium-Atmosphäre gecrackt; die sauerstoffhaltigen Crackprodukte werden über Kohle zu Kohlenmonoxid konvertiert. Um das Kohlenmonoxid von den übrigen Crackprodukten, wie H₂, N₂ und CH₄ abzutrennen, wird es zu Kohlendioxid oxydiert und danach an einem Molekularsieb bei 20° C durch Adsorption zurückgehalten; H₂, N₂ und CH₄ werden aus der Apparatur gespült. Sobald in der Probeleitung reines Spülgas auftritt, wird das adsorbierte Kohlendioxid durch Erhitzen desorbiert und im Detektor gemessen.

Summary For the determination of oxygen the organic sample is cracked in helium atmosphere. Cracking products, containing oxygen, are converted to carbon monoxide by coal. For separation from the remaining cracking products (H₂, N₂, CH₄) carbon monoxide is oxidized and then adsorbed on molecular sieve 5A at 20°C; H₂, N₂ and CH₄ are flushed out. As soon as pure carrier gas flows through the sample pipe, carbon dioxide is desorbed by heating the molecular sieve and flushed to the detector.

Das Kombinierte Näherungsverfahren

Zusammenfassung Anionen der ersten und neutrale Atome der zweiten Familie des Periodensystems wurden nach dem Kombinierten Näherungsverfahren (KN) mit einem Hellmann-Potential behandelt. Die Fehler in der Hartree-Fock-Energie kompensieren sich auf unter 0.1 eV, ebenso genau wird die Intrahüllenkorrelationsenergie erhalten. Auf Grund der gewonnenen Rechenergebnisse sind als wahrscheinlichste Werte der Elektronenaffinitäten der einwertigen Metalle (in eV) anzusehen: Li 0.63, Na 0.54, K 0.52, Rb 0.50, Cu 1.0.

Hellmann's pseudopotential method

Neutral atoms of the second and negative ions of the first family of the periodic system are treated by Hellmann's pseudopotential method (Kombiniertes Näherungsverfahren, KN). The various errors inherent in this method compensate to a large degree so that the errors in the Hartree-Fock and correlation energies will be below 0.1 eV. The electron affinities of the first family atoms are calculated as 0.63 eV for Li, 0.54 for Na, 0.52 for K, 0.50 for Rb, and 1.0 for Cu.

Résumé Des anions du premier groupe et des atoms neutres du deuxième groupe du système périodique sont traités à l'aide de la méthode Kombiniertes Näherungsverfahren (KN) avec une potential de Hellmann. Les erreurs dans l'énergie SCF se compensent au dessous 0,1 eV, de la même exactitude on obtient l'énergie de correlation de la couche de valence. D'aprés les resultats du calcul on peut accepter les valeurs suivantes comme les plus probables pour les affinités électroniques dans les metaux monovalents (en eV): Li 0,63, Na 0,54, K 0,52, Rb 0,50, Cu 1,0.

Design, synthesis, and binding affinities of pyrrolinone-based somatostatin mimetics

[structure: see text] Tetrapyrrolinone somatostatin (SRIF) mimetics (cf. 1), based on a heterochiral (D,L-mixed) pyrrolinone scaffold, were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for biological activity. The iterative synthetic sequence, incorporating the requisite functionalized coded and noncoded amino acid side chains, comprised a longest linear synthetic sequence of 23 steps. Binding affinities at two somatostatin receptor subtypes (hsst 4 and 5) reveal micromolar activity, demonstrating that the d,l-mixed pyrrolinone scaffold can be employed to generate functional mimetics of peptide beta-turns.

Silyl modification of biologically active compounds 5. Hydrolytic stability and biological activity of the trialkylsilyl derivatives of some heterocyclic bases

The kinetics of the desilylation of the triorganosilyl derivatives of some biologically active heterocyclic bases and uridine were investigated by¹H NMR spectroscopy. A correlation was established between the relative rates of desilylation and the steric environment of the silicon atom. In trials on locomotor activity and muscular tone, the effect on memory processes, and the Porsolt test it was found that tris(tert-butylmethylsilyl)barbituric acid has higher sedative activity than barbituric acid. In contrast to uridine, 5-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyluridine exhibits antitumor activity, suppressing the development of fibrosarcoma in human lungs (HT-1080) and fibroblasts in mice.For communication 4, see [1].Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis, Riga, Latvia.

The N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroquinoline, -isoquinoline, and -silaisoquinoline, and their trimethyland triethylsilyl derivatives and the corresponding methiodides were synthesized. The acute toxicity and psychotropic activity of the compounds synthesized were studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 793–799, June, 1996.

New improvements in oligonucleotide synthesis by use of the p-nitrophenylethyl phosphate blocking group and its deprotection by DBU or DBN

Phosphate protection in the phosphotriester approach is improved by the new, versatile p-nitrophenylethyl group due to its stability in the condensation step and its clean removal by DBU and DBN respectively.     

“Dibutylmagnesium”, a convenient reagent for the synthesis of useful organic magnesium reagents MgA2 including cyclopentadienyls,aryloxides, and amides. Preparation of Zr(C5H5)Cl3. X-ray structure of [Mg{μ-N(SiMe)3C6H4N}(SiMe3)-o(OEt2)]2

n-Heptane-soluble “di-butylmagnesium” (I) (a commercially available material, prepared by addition of LiBu^s to MgBuⁿCl, and subsequent addition of ca. 5% MgOct₂ⁿ) has been found to be a useful starting material for obtaining numerous organic magnesium compounds. This is illustrated by its reaction with a number of protic compounds HA to give in good yields Mg(C₅H₅)₂, Mg(C₅H₄Me)₂, or the new compounds MgA₂: IV (A = C₅H₄SiMe₃), V [A = C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂], VII (A = OC₆H₂Bu₂^t-2,6-Me-4), and X [A₂ = N(SiMe₃)C₆H₄N(SiMe₃)-o(OEt₂)]. The value of such compounds MgA₂ as mild ligand transfer reagents is illustrated by the synthesis of Zr(C₅H₃X₂)Cl₃ (X = H or SiMe₃). Compound X was isolated from OEt₂ solution as the crystalline dimer

with two o-$\text{N}$(SiMe₃)C₆H₄$\text{N}$(SiMe₃) ligands bridging two magnesium atoms and a terminal OEt₂ ligand completing a distorted tetrahedral environment around each Mg. Some key parameters are: MgN_t 1.997(7), MgN_b 2.083(8), MgO 2.041(7) Å; OMgN_t 112.1(3), OMgN_b 119.7(3), and N_tMgN_b 118.5(3)°.
