Gravimetric determination of zirconium with a new azopyrazolone derivative

3-Methyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-4-ylazo-2'-(6',8'-naphthalenedisulfonic acid) (disodium salt) is proposed as a new reagent for the gravimetric determination of zirconium. The precipitate formed at pH 1–1.5 can be weighed directly and there are few interferences.

Temperature dependence of the configurational free energy of a branched polymer

We consider a lattice model of branched polymers in dilute solution in which the polymer is modelled as an animal, weakly embeddable in the (simple cubic) lattice. In order to model the effect on the thermodynamic properties of changing the temperature or the quality of the solvent, we include an energy associated with the number of nearneighbour contacts between pairs of vertices of the animals. We show that the configurational free energy of the animal is a continuous function of the temperature and derive rigorous upper and lower bounds on the temperature dependence of the free energy. Finally, we comment on similarities between these results and corresponding ones for a model in which the energy is associated with the cyclomatic index of the animal.     

Synthesis of 4-allyl-4-arylaminopiperidines and their transformations to spiro[tetrahydroquinoline-2,4′-piperidines]

It was established that the yields of a 4-allyl-4-aryl-aminopiperidines in the reaction of 4-aryliminopiperidines with allylmagnesium bromide increase significantly if the reaction is carried out in the presence of a crown ether. A number of previously unknown spiro[tetrahydroquinoline-2,4-piperidines] were obtained in the cyclization of 4-allyl-4-arylaminopiperidines in the presence of sulfuric acid.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1514–1519, November, 1989.     

Highly polarized enamines. 2. Synthesis and investigation of the further amination of derivatives of α,α-DIAMINO-β-cyano-β-nitroethylene

Highly polarized enediamines of the a, -diamino--cyano--nitroethylene type have been obtained by the hydrolysis of 4-chloro-5-nitropyrimidines. Several chemical conversions of the enamines obtained have been studied, particularly leading to derivatives of 2-(cyanonitromethylene)imidazoline and -hexahydropyrimidine, and also to derivatives of N, N-bisvinylpiperazine and 7 methylene-1, 4-diazabicyclo(2.2. 1 ]heptane.Center for Drug Chemistry, All-Russian Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Moscow 119815.

Synthesis of 6-arylspiro[tetrahydropyran-3,1′-cyclobutane]-2,4-diones

Methyl 1-(2-bromo-2-methyl-1-oxopropyl)-, 1-(1-bromocyclopentylcarbonyl)-, and 1-(1-bromocyclohexylcarbonyl) cyclobutanecarboxylates reacted with zinc and aromatic aldehydes to give, respectively, 7-aryl-2,2-dimethyl-6-oxaspiro[3.5]nonane-5,9-diones, 11-aryl-12-oxadispiro[3.1.4.3]tridecane-5,13-diones, and 12-aryl-13-oxadispiro[3.1.5.3]tetradecane-5,14-diones.     

Photosensitivity of holographic recording media based on films of polymer compositions with cadmium sulfide nanoparticles

The effect of doping with CdS nanoparticles of recording medium films for the thermoplastic holographic recording process, which are based on photosemiconductors (oligomers and cooligomers of glycidylcarbazole) and a dielectric (a styrene copolymer with octyl methacrylate) containing a photoconductivity sensitizer, on their photosensitivity was studied. The enhancement of photosensitivity of films by doping with nanoparticles is associated with the appearance of an additional channel for transport of electrons generated from sensitizer molecules. A difference in informational properties between the oligomer and the polymer films was revealed.     

Quick Determination of the Total Content of Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Reformer Naphthas by <Superscript>1</Superscript>H NMR Spectroscopy

A procedure for fast determination of the total content of arenes in reformer naphthas by ¹H NMR spectroscopy was developed and tested. Their content is determined from the ratio of the integral intensities of the signals of aromatic protons and alkane methyl protons, using a calibration plot constructed on the basis of GLC data.     

X-ray crystallographic investigation of the adduct of 1-demethylamino-2-(4-bromophenyl-2H-isoindole with N-phenylmalemide

An unusual path for the reaction of 2-aryl-1-dimethylamino-2H-isoindoles with N-R-maleimides, leading to the imides of l,2-dihydronaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic adds, was established by x-ray crystallographic analysis.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 614–618, May, 1992
