Cu+(H2) and Na+(H2) adducts in exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites

Cu(I) ions in Cu-ZSM-5 form Cu+(H2) complexes, stable at room temperature and sub-atmospheric H2 pressure, which do not have any homogeneous analogue except for matrix-isolated [Cu(eta2-H2)Cl]. Comparison with the unstable Na+(H2) adducts formed in the parent Na-ZSM-5 zeolite allow the conclusion that the Cu(I)/H2 bond is governed by sigma-pi overlap forces.     

Stereospecific synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted 1,4-benzodioxans

The synthesis of cis- and trans-2-methyl-3-phenyl-1,4-benzodioxans 4 and 5 , from 1-phenyl-2-[2-(hydroxy)-phenoxy]propanols threo 2 and erythro 3 are described.     

Ab initio versus CNDO potential surface calculations for Li2O and Al2O

Potential surfaces for Li₂O and Al₂O have been calculated by an ab initio SCF-LCAO-MO method and by the semiempirical CNDO method. For both molecules the semiempirical methods incorrectly imply unreasonable structures with very acute apex angles and very long bond distances — rather more like diatomic Li₂ or Al₂ molecules with O-atoms attached to their bonds. Our ab initio treatment does correctly predict a symmetrical linear configuration for Li₂O with bond distances in excellent agreement with experiment. This method also predicts a linear symmetrical structure for Al₂O, in agreement with experimental gas phase measurements but in disagreement with matrix-isolation studies.     

Sampling and sample preparation

Summary Problems, techniques and means of water sampling are reviewed. Applicability and performance are discussed with regard to individual and composite samples, and also to automatic sampling. Storage and preservation of samples are dealt with.

Start of discussion held at the 6th Annual Symposium on Recent Advances in the Analytical Chemistry of Pollutants, April 21–23, 1976; Vienna, Austria.     

Protonization of purine, adenine, and guanine. NMR spectra and structure of mono, di, and tri cations

Proton NMR. spectra of purine, adenine, guanine and methylsubstituted guanines have been measured in CF₃COOH, FSO₃H and FSO₃H? SbF₅? SO₂ at 27° and low temperatures. These conditions permit to study multiple protonation of purines, using chemical shifts of CH, NH and OH protons. The spectra of mono-, di- and tri-cations are described and fully assigned.     

Zum Mechanismus der nucleophilen Addition an 2,3-Dihydrodipyrrin-1(10H)-one

¹H NMR-spectroscopic investigations of the acid catalyzed addition of methanol to dihydrodipyrrinones (Z)-2, (E)-2, and4 show the C-protonation of their enamide parts to be the first and rate determining step forming the key intermediate, the N-acyl-immonium ion N⁺. Its ability to add nucleophiles diastereoselectively can be used to prepare the adductsl-3 andl-5. Exclusive formation of thelike-isomer can be explained by a stereoelectronically favoured approach of the nucleophile and by the thermodynamically favoured arrangement of the bulky ring substituents. Both explanations are based on low temperature X-ray crystal structure determinations: in the first place, the orientation of the added nucleophile could be found to be nearly parallel to the -plane of the lactam unit and quasi-axial with respect to theenvelope-like conformation of the five-ring lactam; in the second place, the relative orientation of the methoxycarbonyl-metyl-group at C-3 and the pyrrolylmethyl-substituent at C-4 could be found to be atrans-quasi-diequatorial one.

     

Traceless solid-phase synthesis of 2,4,6-chlorodiamino and triaminopyrimidines

An effective traceless solid-phase synthesis of chloro-diaminopyrimidines via an amino-de-chlorination reaction of polymer-bound 4-alkoxycarbonylamino-2,6-dichloropyrimidines has been developed. After release from the polymer the target molecules were obtained in good to excellent purity, although with modest regiocontrol. Further reaction of solid-supported N-alkoxycarbonyl-chloro-diaminopyrimidines with secondary amines afforded triaminopyrimidines in good purity under mild conditions, whereas less nucleophilic primary amines did not perform well under the conditions explored so far.     

Ferromagnetism in a dinuclear nickel(II) complex containing triethylenetetramine and tricyanomethanide

Triethylenetetramine (L(4)) was used as a tetradentate blocking ligand that, after complexation with Ni(II), leaves two sites ready for ligation with tricyanomethanide. The formed binuclear complex [L(4)Ni(NCC(CN)CN)(2)NiL(4)](ClO(4))(2) exhibits a ferromagnetic coupling with J/hc = +0.15 cm(-1) and g(Ni) = 2.126; below 16 K, a ferromagnetic ordering is evidenced by ac magnetic susceptibility (both in-phase and out-of-phase), magnetization, field-cooled magnetization, and zero-field-cooled magnetization measurements.     

Thermal and microwave-assisted N-formylation using solid-supported reagents

A rapid and easy route to formamides by microwave assisted N-formylation of primary and secondary amines is described. Using an insoluble polymer or an inorganic solid-supported reagent as a formylating agent, microwave irradiation furnished the corresponding formamides in high yields, with reduced reaction time and solvent volume over the conventional approach.
