Préparation d'isoxazoles trisubstitués par réduction chimique et électrochimique d'α-acyl β-nitrostilbènes

Nitration of α-acylstilbenes with dinitrogen tetroxide leads to corresponding Z-α-acyl-β-nitrostilbenes. By chemical or electochemical reduction of these compounds, trisubstituted isoxazoles were prepared in good yields.     

Photochemistry of polymeric systems. I. Photocrosslinking of polymers and copolymers containing pyridine N-oxide groups

Vinylpyridine-N-oxide units were introduced in polymeric chains in order to study their photocrosslinking. Copolymers of styrene and 4-vinylpyridine-N-oxide were especially synthesized and studied. The methods used for characterization of photocrosslinked films were a “photoresist test” or the measurement of the insolubility and of the swelling ratio. The Cleavage of the N-oxide bond was responsible for the photocrosslinking. The competitive formation of carbonyl compounds took place and decreased the rate of photocrosslinking. This last reaction is favored by triplet-state quenchers. The photosensitivity of the copolymers was determined as a function of the wavelength of the radiation used. When the photocrosslinking proceeded, a film of the copolymeric material became transparent in the 280–320-nm range. Thick films could therefore be completely photocrosslinked when irradiated in this range of wavelength.     

Hydrous ferric oxide: evaluation of Cd-HFO surface complexation models combining Cd(K) EXAFS data,potentiometric titration results,and surface site structures identified from mineralogical knowledge

The surface properties of ferrihydrite were studied by combining wet chemical data, Cd(K) EXAFS data, and a surface structure and protonation model of the ferrihydrite surface. Acid-base titration experiments and Cd(II)-ferrihydrite sorption experiments were performed within 3<-log[H(+)]<10.5 and 0.5<[Cd(t)]<12 mM in 0.3 M NaClO(4) at 25 degrees C, where [Cd(t)] refers to total Cd concentration. Measurements at -5.5triple bond Fe-OH(-1/2),logk((int))=-8.29, assuming the existence of a unique intrinsic microscopic constant, logk((int)), and consequently the existence of a single significant type of acid-base reactive functional groups. The surface structure model indicates that these groups are terminal water groups. The Cd(II) data were modeled assuming the existence of a single reactive site. The model fits the data set at low Cd(II) concentration and up to 50% surface coverage. At high coverage more Cd(II) ions than predicted are adsorbed, which is indicative of the existence of a second type of site of lower affinity. This agrees with the surface structure and protonation model developed, which indicates comparable concentrations of high- and low-affinity sites. The model further shows that for each class of low- and high-affinity sites there exists a variety of corresponding Cd surface complex structure, depending on the model crystal faces on which the complexes develop. Generally, high-affinity surface structures have surface coordinations of 3 and 4, as compared to 1 and 2 for low-affinity surface structures.

Liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for the characterization of twenty-three flavonoids in the extract of Dalbergia odorifera

A method incorporating high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry, with parallel analysis by HPLC with UV detection using a diode-array detector, was developed for the qualitative characterization of flavonoids in D. odorifera. Twenty-three flavonoids, including six isoflavones, six neoflavones, four isoflavanones, three flavanones, two chalcones, one isoflavanonol and one pterocarpan, were unambiguously identified by comparing their retention times, UV and MS spectra with those of authentic compounds. Furthermore, the collision-induced dissociations of the [M-H]- ions were studied to clarify the MS behavior of the different types of flavonoids. In negative ion ESI-MS all the flavonoids yielded prominent [M-H]- ions in the first order mass spectra. Fragments involving losses of CH3*, H2O, CO, C2H2O, and CO2 were observed in the MS/MS spectra. Each of the seven types of flavonoid showed characteristic MS/MS fragmentation patterns. The isoflavanones, flavanones and chalcones were observed to undergo retro-Diels-Alder fragmentations. The spectra of almost all the neoflavonoids unexpectedly exhibited only [M-H-CH3]-* radical anions as base peaks without any further fragmentation. Substitution positions also remarkably influenced the fragmentation behavior, which could assist in distinction among the flavonoid isomers. The fragmentation rules deduced here could aid in the characterization of other flavonoids of these types.     

Energy flow and multiplicity measurement in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions

Experimental results from the HELIOS set-up (High Energy Lepton and Ion Spectrometer, in operation at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron to study high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions) are presented and discussed. The transverse energy differential cross section can be parametrized by a geometrical model. The energy density reached in these collisions is much larger than that inside the nucleon and is in the region of the critical value 2·5 GeV/fm³ obtained from lattice QCD calculations for the deconfinement transition. The transverse momentum spectra of photons agree in shape and absolute cross section with the photon spectra expected from hadronic sources.Presented at the IIIrd International Symposium High Energy Experiments And Methods (HEXAM '89), Bechyn, Czechoslovakia, June 25–30, 1989.I would like to thank the organizers of the HEXAM'89 Symposium in Bechyn for giving me the opportunity to participate in this very pleasant and stimulating conference and the hospitality they have extended.

Reactions CO/H2 en phase liquide. Synthese de precurseurs de l'ethanol par homologation du methanol.: I. Influences de la temperature et de la pression

The CO/H₂ homologation of methanol to acetaldehyde and subsequently to its dimethyl acetal in the presence of cobalt acetate promoted by iodine was examined under various conditions. Temperature and pressure were found as critical parameters. High pressures (140 MPa) and low temperatures (160–170°C) give optimal yields and selectivity to acetaldehyde. According to pressure, temperature, contact time, gas ratio and ligand/catalyst ratio, the reaction is oriented towards acetaldehyde, its dimethyl acetal or methyl acetate.     

Kinetic and thermodynamic acidities of substituted 1-benzyl-1-methoxy-2-nitroethylenes. Strong reduction of the transition state imbalance compared to other nitroalkanes

Acidity constants of six substituted 1-benzyl-1-methoxy-2-nitroethylenes (2-Z with Z = m-NO(2), m-CF(3), m-Cl, H, p-Me, p-MeO) and their respective nitronic acids were determined in 50% DMSO-50% water (v/v) at 20 degrees C. Kinetic data were obtained on the reversible deprotonation of all six 2-Z by OH(-) and piperidine and on the reversible deprotonation of 2-NO(2)() by piperazine, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine, and morpholine in the same solvent. These data allowed a determination of the Br?nsted coefficients alpha (dependence on acidity of 2-Z) and beta (dependence on amine basicity). The fact that alpha > beta indicates the presence of a transition state imbalance which, however, is much smaller than that for the deprotonation of arylnitromethanes. The reasons for this reduction in the imbalance and their relevance to a recent study of the deprotonation of Fischer carbene complexes are discussed.     

Etude quantitative de la distinction entre une liaison de covalence et une liaison de coordination: les molecules de borazane et d'aminoborane

Résumé On propose un exemple quantitatif de la distinction entre une liaison de covalence et une liaison de coordination; cette différenciation, fondée sur les propriétés de la molécule une fois formée, semble très nette pour les énergies de liaison, les populations de recouvrement et les charges des groupes; en particulier, un critère récent, proposé par deux des auteurs, est remarquablement vérifié. Enfin, on essaie de préciser la signification des symboles chimiques traditionnels.

Quantitative studies of the difference between a covalence and a coordination bond: The molecules of amine-borane and aminoborane

An illustration of the distinction between these two types of chemical bonds is proposed, which is based on the properties of the molecule once built. Bond energies, overlap populations and group charges vary considerably from one compound to the other; more, a recent criterion given by two of the authors seems to be particularly suitable for describing the character of the bond. Lastly, one tries to give an explicit signification to the usual chemical symbols.

Klein–Nishina Effect and the Cosmic Ray Electron Spectrum

Radiative energy losses are very important in regulating the cosmic ray electron and/or positron(CRE) spectrum during their propagation in the Milky Way. Particularly, the Klein–Nishina(KN) effect of the inverse Compton scattering(ICS) results in less efficient energy losses of high-energy electrons, which is expected to leave imprints on the propagated electron spectrum. It has been proposed that the hardening of CRE spectra around 50 GeV observed by Fermi-LAT, AMS-02, and DAMPE could be due to the KN effect. We show in this work that the transition from the Thomson regime to the KN regime of the ICS is actually quite smooth compared with the approximate treatment adopted in some previous works. As a result, the observed spectral hardening of CREs cannot be explained by the KN effect. It means that an additional hardening of the primary electrons spectrum is needed. We also provide a parameterized form for the accurate calculation of the ICS energy-loss rate in a wide energy range.
