The intramolecular and intermolecular interactions were discussed by means of ν SiF, ν Si? O? (C), ν C? O? (Si) and ν_s SiC₂ vibrations.     

On the synthesis and animation of 5-chloro-and 5-bromo-1,7-naphthyridine

A new synthesis of 5-chloro- and 5-bromo-1,7-naphthyridine, using 8-amino-1,7-naphthyridine as starting material is described. On amination with potassium amide in liquid ammonia, the 5-bromo compound undergoes a tele-amination into 8-amino- and 2-amino-1,7-naphthyridine and a Chichibabin reaction yielding 8-amino-5-bromo-1,7-naphthyridine. The reaction with the 5-chloro compound occurs at a much lower rate than the 5-bromo compound and only gives 8-amino-5-chloro-1,7-naphthyridine in a small yield. Convincing ¹H-nmr evidence is presented, showing that the 5-bromo- and 5-chloro-1,7-naphthyridine give addition of the amide ion at position 8 and that the 5-chloro compound also gives addition at position 2.     

Efficient and practical Ag-catalyzed cycloadditions between arylimines and the Danishefsky diene

An efficient Ag-catalyzed method for asymmetric addition of the Danishefsky diene to various aryl imines to afford cycloadducts in > or =89% ee and > or =85% isolated yield is reported. Reactions are effected with 0.1-1 mol % catalyst (4 degrees C), and the chiral ligand is readily prepared from commercially available materials, including the inexpensive i-Leu. These catalytic asymmetric cycloadditions can be carried out without the use of solvent or with undistilled THF in air. A first generation supported chiral catalyst that effectively promotes the cycloaddition reaction and can be recycled (five cycles) is described.     

The Dyeing of Nylon and Cotton Cloth with Azo Dyes: Kinetics and Mechanism

The mechanism of the dyeing of cotton and nylon cloth by the azo dyes Orange G and Sunset Yellow FCF was investigated using a channel flow cell. The variation in dyeing with flow rate was found to proceed via a mechanism in which the flux of dye entering the cloth relative to the flux of dye to the cloth surfacedecreasedwith increasing flow rate. A mechanism is deduced in which the dye passes from bulk solution, through a porous surface layer within the cloth, before passing into the bulk cloth. Adsorption onto surface sites in this porous layer blocks the passage of further dye into the cloth. Kinetic parameters for such a mechanism are given.     

Photobinding of ketoprofen in vitro and ex vivo

Ketoprofen (KP), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug of the 2-aryl propionic class, has been shown to produce photoallergic side effects as well as cutaneous photosensitizing properties that induce other phototoxic effects. In the present study we investigated photobinding of ketoprofen to both human serum albumin (HSA), a model protein, and to ex vivo pig skin and its photodegradation. Results demonstrate that photoadduct formation and photodegradation progressively increased with irradiation time where they reach a maximum. Maximum photobinding to the viable layer of the epidermis was about 7-8% of the initial radiolabelled KP added, in the region of 15-30 min UV irradiation. These results were comparable to in vitro results that were seen with photobinding of KP to HSA; in this case, the quantity of covalently bound material was approximately 10% of the initial, after a maximum of 18 min irradiation. It was found by HPLC analysis that the KP decrease is accompanied by an increase of the corresponding photoproduct, decarboxylated ketoprofen (DKP). The yield of DKP reaches a maximum at around 15 min. DKP appears to play an important role in vitro and ex vivo, being the major photoproduct and responsible for the photobinding process. Using micro-autoradiographical techniques we investigated the penetration and distribution of ketoprofen in ex vivo pig skin in greater detail. It was apparent that percutaneous absorption was taking place and that most of the ketoprofen was predominately localised in fibroblasts in the papillary dermis. No other specific localisation within the skin architecture was identified. Although there were differences in the quantities of bound ketoprofen within the different layers of the skin, these levels did not appear to correlate with irradiation time.     

Determination of gentamycin by synchronous derivative fluorimetry

Use of synchronous first-derivative fluorimetry for determination of gentamycin is described. Gentamycin reacts with acetylacetone and formaldehyde in pH 5.6 HOAc/NaOAc buffer solution to form N-gentamyl-2,6-dimethyl-3,5-diacethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine[I] which is a fluorescent substance. Spectra of [I] and the reagent blank can be separated with synchronous derivative fluorimetry, and gentamycin can be determined directly. The synchronous spectral peaks of [I] and the reagent blank are at 434 and 411 nm, respectively. The first-derivative peak of [I] is at 425 nm. Effects of pH, foreign ions, buffer system, and heating time on the determination of gentamycin have been examined. The linear regression equation of the calibration graph is C=0.0513H-0.0416, with a correlation coefficient of linear regression of 0.9978. C means total potency of gentamycin: U ml(-1); H means peak height in the linear regression equation calibration graph. The linear range for the determination of gentamycin is from 0.00 to 3.00 U ml(-1). Recovery is from 95.06 to 112.0%, R.S.D. of 3.8%. The results determined by the fluorimetric method agreed roughly with those by the microbiological method. The method is simple and has low detection limit.     

Bestimmung des Urangehaltes und der UO2-Stöchiometrie in ThO2-UO2-Kernbrennstoffen

Analysis for uranium and UO₂ stoichiometry in 2.5–5% UO₂ containing ThO₂-UO₂ fuels is made in a single procedure by controlled-potential coulometry. Samples are dissolved in phosphoric acid-hydrofluoric acid with the addition of Al₂(SO₄)₃. With sample weights from 0.2 to 2 g the uranium content is determined with a relative standard deviation of 1%. The minimum detectable hyperstoichiometry of UO₂ amounts to 2.004 with a standard deviation of 0.002.

A study of solar erythema radiation doses

Abstract —Using semi-empirical analytic formulas for the transmitted and scattered ultraviolet spectral irradiance at the ground (Green, A. E. S., T. Sawada and E. P. Shettle, Photochem. Photobiol. 19 , 251–259, 1974), we calculate erythema dose rates and daily erythema doses. Results are illustrated graphically, and for the purpose of photobiological applications are given in terms of approximate analytic forms, with parameters presented in tabular form. The relative erythema data assembled by W. W. Coblentz and R. Stair (U.S. Bureau of Standards J. Res. 12 , 13–14, 1934), as fit by an analytic form, is taken as a standard spectrum in our calculations. Other forms of erythema spectra are also compared.
