On the space curves with the same image under the gauss maps

From an irreducible complete immersed curveX in a projective space ? other than a line, one obtains a curveX ^′ in a Graasmann manifoldG of lines in ? that is the image ofX under the Gauss map, which is defined by the embedded tangents ofX. The main result of this article clarifies in case of positive characteristic what curvesX have the sameX′: It is shown thatX is uniquely determined byX′ ifX, or equivalentlyX′, has geometric genus at least two, and that for curvesX ₁ andX ₂ withX ₁ ≠X ₂ in ?, ifX′₁ =X′₂ inG and eitherX ₁ orX ₂ is reflexive, then bothX ₁ andX ₂ are rational or supersingular elliptic; moreover, examples of smoothX ₁ andX ₂ in that case are given.     

NAD(P)+-NAD(P)H models. 90. Stereoselection controlled by electronic effect of a carbonyl group in oxidation of NAD(P)H analog

4-Monodeuterated NAD(P)H model compounds (1,4,6,7-tetrahydro-1,6,11-trimethyl-5-oxo-5H-benzo[c]pyrido[2,3-e]az epin; 11Me-MMPAH) have been oxidized with a series of p-benzoquinone and its derivatives in the presence of Mg2+. The models have an axial chirality with respect to the orientation of carbonyl dipole, the dihedral angle of which is larger than 55 degrees out of the plane of dihydropyridine ring. Without Mg2+, the anti- (with respect to the carbonyl dipole) hydrogen is 3 to 32 times more reactive than the corresponding syn-hydrogen, whereas, when Mg2+ is present in the system, the selectivity is shifted toward the syn-preferency. Mg2+ plays the role of a Lewis acid catalyst to control the stereochemistry at the same time as it catalyzes the reaction.     

Distribution of the iron(III)-ethyl acetoacetate complex between aqueous solution and benzene

Summary Studies have been made on the distribution of iron(III)-ethyl acetoacetate complex between aqueous solution and benzene. Effect of pH, concentration of ethyl acetoacetate and shaking conditions were chosen as experimental parameters. Iron(III) can be well extracted from aqueous solution of pH 4.4–9.8 into benzene with constant extractability (97%), if the concentration of ethyl acetoacetate is kept in excess over that of iron(III). The applicability of the complex ( _max: 452 nm) to the spectrophotometric determination of iron is also discussed.

Verteilung des Eisen(III)-Acetessigester-Komplexes zwischen wä\riger Lösung und Benzol

Zusammenfassung Zur Untersuchung der Verteilung wurden der pH-Wert, die Konzentration an Acetessigester und die Ausschüttelungsbedingungen variiert. Eisen(III) kann bei pH 4.4–9.8 mit Benzol mit einer konstanten Extrahierbarkeit von 97% ausgeschüttelt werden, wenn die Konzentration an Acetessigester größer ist als die an Eisen(III). Die Anwendbarkeit des Komplexes ( _max: 452 nm) zur spektralphotometrischen Eisenbestimmung wird diskutiert.

     

Organic synthesis by means of noble metal complexes—XCIV : Palladium catalyzed hydrosilylation of monoenes and conjugated dienes

Palladium compounds and metallic palladium combined with phosphine are active catalysts of selective hydrosilylation of terminal olefins. Butadiene and trichlorosilane give a 1:1 adduct and trimethylsilane affords a 1:2 adduct. Special features of the palladium catalyzed hydrosilylation reactions are presented.     

Product analyses and crosslink mechanism of plasma-polymerized methyl methacrylate

Plasma-polymerized methyl methacrylate (PPMMA) film was produced by a radio-frequency glow discharge of methyl methacrylate (MMA) gas with argon. PPMMA deposited under a plasma of mild energy was separated into a soluble fraction (sol-PPMMA) and an insoluble matrix (insol-PPMMA), which is highly crosslinked, by solvent-extraction and filtration. The chemical structure of the sol-PPMMA was determined by pyrolysis/gas chromatography, IR spectroscopy, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and elemental analysis techniques. On the other hand, the structure of the insol-PPMMA was examined with IR spectroscopy, ¹³C-NMR with CP/MAS method, and elemental analysis. The crosslinking mechanism in the plasma polymerization of MMA is discussed on the basis of product analyses of the sol-PPMMA and the insol-PPMMA.     

Determination of a polymeric hindered amine light stabilizer in polypropylene formulated with magnesium hydroxide flame retardant by reactive thermal desorption-gas chromatography.

A polymeric hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS), Tinuvin 622 (MW [symbol: see text] 4000), in PP materials formulated with a magnesium hydroxide flame retardant was determined by reactive thermal desorption (RTD) gas chromatography (GC). Two kinds of the HALS components that were formed through the RTD in the presence of tetramethylammonium hydroxide [(CH3)4NOH, TMAH] were clearly observed in the chromatograms of the PP samples, with negligible interference from the other additives and the PP substrate. Here, the coexisting flame retardant was proved to affect significantly the RTD process of the occluded HALS. As a result, the recovery of the HALS components in the RTD-GC chromatograms of the PP samples increased with increase in the content of the flame retardant. This enhancement of the HALS recovery is attributed mainly to the preferential exposure of the HALS on the surface of the ground PP sample through the interaction between the polymeric HALS and the flame retardant in the molten PP during kneading. In spite of such a considerable action of the flame retardant, the observed intensities of the characteristic peaks of HALS by RTD-GC showed a good linear relationship with the HALS content in the PP samples with constant content of the flame retardant (50 phr); this relationship could be used as the calibration line for the determination of the polymeric HALS in the PP materials containing the flame retardant.
