Benzylidène-5-hydroxy-4-dihydro-2,5-thiophènecarboxanilides-3-(Z): Synthèse et isomérisation en benzyl-5-hydroxy-4-thiophènecarboxanilides-3

(Z)-5-Benzylidene-2,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-3-thiophenecarboxanilides: Synthesis and Isomerization into 5-Benzyl-4-hydroxy-3-thiophenecarboxanilides Upon treatment with an arylamine in boiling xylene, the esters I yield predominantly the corresponding anilides II, along with a small but variable amount of the isomeric thiophene derivatives III (Table 1). On the other hand, the derivatives III can be readily prepared by base- or acid-catalyzed isomerization of II . Esters I can also be isomerized to the corresponding thiophene derivatives IV (Scheme 6), but only in the presence of a strong acid (Table 4). The two series of isomers reported in Tables 2 and 3 present spectral differences which allow unambiguous structural assignments. The (Z)-configuration for compounds of Table 2 is confirmed by a NOE study carried out on the O-methyl derivatives 6a and 7a .     

Anion-exchange separation of metal ions in dimethyl sulphoxide-methanol-hydrochloric acid

The effect of dimethyl sulphoxide on the anion-exchange behaviour of many metals m a methanolic system with hydrochloric acid was explored. Distribution coefficients for 26 elements were determined in a mixed solvent system of dimethyl sulphoxide-methanol-0.6M hydrochloric acid, in which the proportions of dimethyl sulphoxide and methanoi were varied. Lead(II) and silver(I) complexes are soluble in this system. Interesting effects were noted for gold(III), iron(III), molybdenum(VI) and uranium(VI). As a measure of the usefulness of the systems studied, 27 anion-exchange separations of two- to four-component mixtures of metal ions were carried out, each with quantitative results.     

New designer drug 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine (TFMPP): gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry studies on its phase I and II metabolism and on its toxicological detection in rat urine

Studies are described on the phase I and II metabolism and the toxicological analysis of the piperazine-derived designer drug 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (TFMPP) in rat urine using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The identified metabolites indicated that TFMPP was extensively metabolized, mainly by hydroxylation of the aromatic ring and by degradation of the piperazine moiety to N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)ethylenediamine, N-(hydroxy-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)ethylenediamine, 3-trifluoromethylaniline, and hydroxy-3-trifluoromethylaniline. Phase II reactions included glucuronidation, sulfatation and acetylation of phase I metabolites. The authors' systematic toxicological analysis (STA) procedure using full-scan GC/MS after acid hydrolysis, liquid-liquid extraction and microwave-assisted acetylation allowed the detection of TFMPP and its above-mentioned metabolites in rat urine after single administration of a dose calculated from the doses commonly taken by drug users. Assuming similar metabolism, the described STA procedure should be suitable for proof of an intake of TFMPP in human urine.     

Sound propagation in metallic glasses—a new look at the tunneling model

A variety of amorphous metals exhibit a characteristic behavior in their acoustic properties at low frequencies which differs from the predictions of the standard tunneling model. We point out that a lower cut-off _min for the tunnel matrix element, which is needed for consistency of the tunneling model, leads to an upper bound on relaxation times induced by the conduction electrons. We derive explicit expressions for the velocity shift and internal friction for the normalconducting and superconducting case. It is shown that a maximum relaxation time plays an essential role at audio frequencies. The corresponding change of the acoustic properties is in qualitative agreement with vibrating reed experiments.

Mono- and dinuclear molybdenum complexes with sterically demanding cycloheptatrienyl ligands

Sterically demanding cycloheptatrienylium (tropylium) salts of the type (1,3,5-C7H4R3)BF4 [R = t-Bu, (3a)BF4; R = SiMe3, (3b)BF4] have been prepared from the corresponding 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzene derivatives 1 by ring expansion with diazomethane followed by hydride abstraction with triphenylcarbenium tetrafluoroborate, (Ph3C)BF4. Complexation can be achieved by arene exchange and Mo(CO)3 group transfer employing [(eta6-p-xylene)Mo(CO)3] (4) to yield the cationic complexes (5)BF4. In refluxing mesitylene, [(eta7-C7H4t-Bu3)Mo(CO)3]BF4, (5a)BF4, undergoes CO substitution to furnish the mesitylene sandwich complex (6a)BF4. A cyclic voltammetric study reveals that this complex exhibits a reversible one-electron oxidation to the dicationic 17e complex 6a2+, which can also be accessed by chemical oxidation with AgBF4. On the contrary, the reduction of 6a+ is irreversible and does not yield a stable 19e complex 6a. To study the fate of the reduced 19e form, (5a)BF4 was treated with Na2Hg to diastereoselectively afford the C-C coupled bicycloheptatriene complex 7a. Paramagnetic, dinuclear complexes of the type [(eta7-C7H4R3)Mo(mu-Cl)3Mo(eta7-C7H4R3)] (8) have been obtained from the reaction of (5)BF4 with Me3SiCl. These can be regarded as mixed-valence Mo(0)/Mo(+I) compounds with a metal-metal bond order of 0.5. Cyclic voltammetric studies reveal that both complexes 8a and 8b undergo reversible one-electron oxidation as well as reduction. Treatment with one equivalent of ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate leads to removal of the unpaired electron and formation of the diamagnetic complexes (8)PF6. Theoretical DFT calculations have been carried out to further elucidate the bonding in these systems. In addition, the X-ray crystal structures of (5b)BF4, (6a)BF4 x CH2Cl2, (6a)(BF4)2 x (acetone)2, 7a x CH2Cl2, 8a x 0.5C6H14, and (8a)PF6 x Et2O are reported.

Simultaneous ion-exclusion/cation-exchange chromatography of anions and cations in acid rain waters on a weakly acidic cation-exchange resin by elution with sulfosalicylic acid

A simple, selective, and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of anions (sulfate, nitrate, and chloride) and cations (sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium) in acid rain waters was developed using ion-exclusion/ cation-exchange chromatography with conductimetric detection. A weakly acidic cation-exchange resin column (Tosho TSKgel OA-PAK-A) and a sulfosalicylic acid-methanol-water eluent was used. With a mobile phase comprising 1.25 mM sulfosalicylic acid in methanol-water (7.5:92.5) at 1.2 ml/min, simultaneous separation and detection of the above anions and cations was achieved in about 30 min. Linear calibration plots of peak area versus concentration were obtained over the concentration ranges 0-1.0 mM for anions (R=0.9991) and 0-0.5 mM for cations (R=0.9994). Detection limits calculated at S/N=3 ranged from 4.2 to 14.8 ppb for the anions and from 2.4 to 12.1 ppb for the cations. The reproducibility of retention times was 0.14-0.15% relative standard deviation (RSD) for anions and 0.18-0.31% for cations, and reproducibility of chromatographic peak areas was 1.22-1.75% RSD for anions and 1.81-2.10% for cations. The method was applied successfully to the simultaneous determination of anions and cations in aerosols transported from mainland China to central Japan, as determined by a meteorological satellite data analyzer.     

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. 73. Reaktionen C-chlorierter 1,3-Disilapropane mit CH3MgCl

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 73. Reactions of C-chlorinated 1,3-Disilapropanes with CH₃MgCl (Cl₃Si)₂CCl₂ reacts with an excess of meMgCl (me = CH₃) in Et₂O (diethylether) forming (me₃Si)₂₂C?CH₂ mainly besides Si-methylated 1,3-disilapropanes with CmeCl, CHCl, CH₂ groups [6]. For investigating the mechanism of formation of the methylidengroup reactions were carried out with differently Si-methylated and Si-chlorinated 2-methyl-1-2-chloro-1,3-disilapropanes and 2,2-dichloro-1,3-disilapropanes. Whereas (me₃Si)₂CmeCl reacts neither with meMgCl nor with Lime. it forms (me₃Si)₂C?CH₂ and (me₃Si)₂CmeH with Li or Mg resp. The reaction starts with the metallation to (me₃Si)₂CmeLi and (me₃Si)₂Cme(MgCl) resp., followed by elimination of LiH and HMgCl resp. with formation of (me₃Si)₂C?CH₂. LiH and HMgCl resp. reduces (me₃Si)₂CmeCl to (me₃Si)₂CmeH. This mechanism is supported by the reactions of (me₃Si)₂CCl(CD₃). The Si-chlorination increases the reactivity of the CmeCl group and the created C?CH₂ group favours Si-methylation. The CCl₂ group is more reactive than the CmeCl group; (me₃Si)₂CCl₂ already forms the methyliden group with meMgCl in Et₂O via the not isolated intermediate (me₃Si)₂CCl(MgCl). which prefers the methylation to (me₃Si)₂Cme(MgCl). The n.m.r. data of the investigated compounds are given.     

Photochemistry of 3-Substituted 1-Iminopyridinium Ylides. Regiospecific versus non-regiospecific photoisomerization patterns [1]

3-Substituted 1-iminopyridinium ylides 1 undergo photo-induced ring enlargement to 1H-1,2-diazepines. With strongly electron-withdrawing substituents the ring expansion process is regiospecific and leads exclusively to 4-substituted 1 H-1, 2-diazepines. Weak electron-donating substituents, like a methyl group and halogen atoms, do not have any directing effect since both 4- and 6-substituted 1 H -1,2-diazepines are obtained. With strong electron-donating substituents no diazepines are formed; instead one observes photo-induced isomerization to the 2-aminopyridine derivatives, the process being non-regiospecific. Regiospecific photo-induced ring expansion processes are explained in terms of a simple HMO model.
