Dissociative ionization of methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines

The mass spectra of the following methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines have been studied in the range of energies of the ionizing electrons of 15–50 eV: 2-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 6-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline, 6-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline, 8-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline, 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylquinoline, and 4,6-dihydroxy-2-methylquinoline. It has been shown that the processes of dissociative ionization for the series of compounds investigated take place exclusively from the keto forms of the molecular ions. The stability to electron impact is determined largely by the degree of enolization of the structures considered. The values of the selective decomposition are given and a scheme is proposed for the identification of the isomeric methyl-substituted hydroxyquinolines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 972–978, July, 1973.     

Simple method for the preparation of 1-oxo-1-chlorophospholenes

Conclusions A new and simple method has been found for the synthesis of 1-oxo-1-chlorophospholenes by the reaction of phosphorus trichloride, a diene, and an oxygen-donor compound, the best of which is acetone.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1847–1848, August, 1972.     

Über Blei (II)-oxidhydrat der Zusammensetzung 3PbO·H2O

Lead oxide hydrate mentioned in the earlier literature with several formulas between PbO · H₂O and PbO · 0.33 H₂O has been synthesized and investigated by high resolution X-ray powder methods, thermogravimetry and infrared spectroscopy. The unit cell was found from 62 powder reflections to be tetragonal with a = 8.009 ± 0.003 Å, c = 9.312 ± 0.005 Å, Z = 12 [PbO · 0.33 H₂O]. These data were confirmed by WEISSENBERG and Precession photographs of single crystals grown as a corrosion product on metallic lead. The space group is D–P4/mnc or C–P4 nc. Thermogravimetric measurements, corrected for a slight content of superficially bound carbon dioxide detected by infrared spectroscopy, lead to the most probable formula 3 PbO · H₂O or PbO · 0.33 H₂O. As infrared spectra show the presence of a HOH deformation vibration, the compound is considered to be an oxide hydrate and not an oxide hydroxide of lead.     

Reactions of diterpenoids on solid supports II. Behavior of di- and tricyclic diterpenoids on alumina containing oxidants

The behavior of epimanool (1), epimanool oil, larixol (2), cis-abienol (3) and methyl dehydroabietate (4) on alumina impregnated with oxidants (H₂CrO₄ and KMnO₄) has been studied. This has led to the methyl ketone (5) and norambrenolide (8) - precursors of the perfume substances 14,15,17-trinorlabdane-8,13-dione (6), 8-hydroxy-14,15-bisnorlabd-II-en-13-one (7), and methyl 7-oxodehydroabietate (14). -Levantenolide (11) has been synthesized in one stage from cis-abienol (3)for the first time.Novosibirsk Insitute of Organic Chemistry, Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Determination of enthalpies of formation of organic free radicals from bond dissociation energies 2. Halosubstituted radicals

The enthalpies of formation (ΔH _f ^o) for 23 halosubstituted radicals were determined from the published data on bond dissociation energies. The ΔH _f ^o values of the corresponding molecules necessary for the calculation of ΔH _f ^o of the radicals were taken from handbooks or calculated by the additive-group method. The conjugation energies of the radicals are calculated, and the effect of substituents at the π-system on these values was shown. Errors of determination of the ΔH _f ^o values of the radicals were estimated. For Part 1, see Ref. 1. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 643–646, April, 1998.
