Preparation and stereoselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ofD-glucose-derived nitrones to N-arylmaleimides

Summary Nitrones2 derived fromD-glucose oxime and benzaldehydes without employing any protection of hydroxyl group were isolated in pure state. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of2 to N-arylmaleimides gave predominantly theanti isoxazolidines3 and was rationalized byZ/E isomerization of N-glycosylnitrones2. The structure and steric configuration of the products have been assigned on the basis of¹H- and¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. AM1 calculations of the nitrones and MM2 calculations of the adducts were performed.

Metal—metal bonding in dinuclear complexes of platinum(I). The crystal and molecular structure of carbonyl(chloro)-bis-μ-[bis(diphenylphosphino)methane]diplatinum hexafluorophosphate

The structure of [Pt₂Cl(CO) (μ-Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)₂] [PF₆] was determined by $\text{X}$-ray methods and refined to $\text{R}$ = 0.082, using diffractometric intensities of 5646 independent reflections. The crystals are monoclinic, space group $\text{P}$2₁/$\text{n}$, $\text{a}$ = 12.919(3), $\text{b}$ = 15.576(6), $\text{c}$ = 25.151(5)Å, β = 94.82(3)°, $\text{Z}$ = 4. They are built of octahedral hexafluorophosphate anions and dinuclear platinum(I) cations. The latter contain PtCl and PtCO fragments linked to one another by a PtPt σ-bond and by two bridging bis(diphenylphosphino)methane ligands. The platinum atoms are in square planar environments and the dihedral angle between the two coordination planes is 40.1°. Selected bond lengths are: PtPt 2.620(1), PtCl 2.384(5), PtC 1.89(3) and PtP 2.291(5) – 2.308(5)Å.     

P, p, T Surfaces of real gases and the Riemann-Hugoniot catastrophe

Analysing experimentally determined P, ?, T data of N₂, ethylene, propene, CO₂ and Xe by a new mathematical technique, we present evidence that their isothermal pressure-density dependence exhibits behaviour characteristic of a Riemann-Hugoniot catastrophe, in analogy to a van der Waals gas for above and sub critical isotherms.     

Classification of wheat varieties: use of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis for varieties that can not be classified by matrix assisted laser desorpiton/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry and an artificial neural network

Analyzing a gliadin extract by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) combined with an artificial neural network (ANN) is a suitable method for identification of wheat varieties. However, the ANN can not distinguish between all different wheat varieties. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) was applied to three pairs of wheat varieties, which can not be classified correctly by ANN. By 2-D PAGE the varieties in the three pairs can be discriminated and these six wheat varieties can be separated from each other, which could not be separated by MALDI-TOF-MS and NN.     

Optimization of artificial neural networks used for retention modelling in ion chromatography

The aim of this work is the development of an artificial neural network model, which can be generalized and used in a variety of applications for retention modelling in ion chromatography. Influences of eluent flow-rate and concentration of eluent anion (OH-) on separation of seven inorganic anions (fluoride, chloride, nitrite, sulfate, bromide, nitrate, and phosphate) were investigated. Parallel prediction of retention times of seven inorganic anions by using one artificial neural network was applied. MATLAB Neural Networks ToolBox was not adequate for application to retention modelling in this particular case. Therefore the authors adopted it for retention modelling by programming in MATLAB metalanguage. The following routines were written; the division of experimental data set on training and test set; selection of data for training and test set; Dixon's outlier test; retraining procedure routine; calculations of relative error. A three-layer feed forward neural network trained with a Levenberg-Marquardt batch error back propagation algorithm has been used to model ion chromatographic retention mechanisms. The advantage of applied batch training methodology is the significant increase in speed of calculation of algorithms in comparison with delta rule training methodology. The technique of experimental data selection for training set was used allowing improvement of artificial neural network prediction power. Experimental design space was divided into 8-32 subspaces depending on number of experimental data points used for training set. The number of hidden layer nodes, the number of iteration steps and the number of experimental data points used for training set were optimized. This study presents the very fast (300 iteration steps) and very accurate (relative error of 0.88%) retention model, obtained by using a small amount of experimental data (16 experimental data points in training set). This indicates that the method of choice for retention modelling in ion chromatography is the artificial neural network.     

Application of thermal analysis for quantitative nitrogen determination in fertilizers

DSC and DTA techniques have been used to determine nitrogen present in the form of ammonium nitrate in fertilizers. The optimum conditions for the investigations were determined for both techniques. By determining peak area, i.e. the enthalpy of the ammonium nitrate crystal transformation II I, it was possible to determine the nitrogen content in ammonium nitrate and in lime ammonium nitrate by DSC with average deviations of 0.44 and 0.91%,respectively. Using DTA and the enthalpy of the ammonium nitrate crystal transformation IV III, the average deviation of nitrogen determination in lime/ammonium nitrate was 1.09%.

Durch Bestimmung der Peakfläche, d. h. der Enthalpie der Kristalltransformation II I des Ammoniumnitrats konnte der Stickstoffgehalt in Ammoniumnitrat und in Kalk/Ammoniumnitrat mittels DSC mit mittleren Abweichungen von 0.44 bzw. 0.91% bestimmt werden. Aus der Kristalltransformation IV III des Ammoniumnitrats ergibt sich bei Benutzung der DTA-Methode eine mittlere Abweichung von 1.09% für die Stickstoffbestimmung in Kalk/Ammoniumnitrat.

Vibrational spectra of the adduct of 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene with dichloromaleic acid (DMAN x DCM)

The infra-red (IR), Raman (R) and inelastic incoherent neutron scattering (IINS) spectra, particularly in low frequency region, of the title ionic adduct were studied. It is shown that all low frequency vibrations (below 200 cm(-1)) of (CH3)2N groups of protonated 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (DMAN)--clearly observed in IINS spectra--are sensitive to the environment, i.e. to the type of counterion forming short contacts with C-H bonds of methyl groups. The internal frequencies were also calculated by ab initio method. The results are consistent with numerous observations of the counteranion effect on the geometry of the protonated DMAN. The conclusions are compared with structural and NMR studies reported recently for the 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene with dichloromaleic acid (DMAN x DCM) adduct. The single crystal R polarized spectra taken over the frequency range 20-3200 cm(-1) were analyzed in detail. We have shown that a substantial difference in the IR spectrum of the dichloromaleic acid (DCM) anion in the DMAN adduct and in the potassium salt results from different geometries of OHO hydrogen bonds. In the case of potassium salt the chains of longer intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed described by means of a double minimum potential.     

An unequivocal synthesis of some substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

An unequivocal synthesis of 5-chloro-7-methyl- (8) and 7-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (10) from 2-amino-4-chloro-6-methylpyrimidine (5) through the corresponding amidine6 and formamide oxime7 was developed. It was unambigously shown by comparison of the chemical shifts and the magnitude of coupling constants that the compounds obtained by condensation of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (12) and ethyl acetoacetate (13) and some further transformations are isomeric 5-methyl substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines1,9, and11.

The radiolysis of bis/1,2-dicarbollyl/cobalt/III/ acid in H2O−CCl4 two-phase system

The radiation-induced oxidation of bis/1,2-dicarbollyl/cobalt/III/ acid to 8-monohydroxy-, and 8,8-dihydroxy-derivatives was observed in two-phase system of 4 to 96 vol. % of CCl₄ and H₂O. Carbon tetrachloride increases the radiation yields of the oxidation of the acid in the investigated dose region, nature of the radiolytic products being the same. The partial radiation yields in the system were ascertained.
