Untersuchungen über Phenthiazinderivate, 17. Mitt.: Über Strukturfragen bei der LiAlH4-Reduktion des 4, 10-(α-Hydroximino-trimethylen)-phenthiazins

Zusammenfassung Je nach den Reaktionsbedingungen entstehen verschiedene Produkte bei der Reduktion des 4,10-(-Hydroximino-trimethylen)-phenthiazins. Durch Vergleich mit Verbindungen bekannter Struktur wurde der Beweis erbracht, daß die von uns schon früher für das Produkt der Natriumamalgamreduktion angenommene Struktur richtig ist.Mit 2 Abbildungen     

Quantum chemical study of the appearance of the “α-effect” in35Cl NQR spectra of chloromethylsilanes

We consider the connection between the electron distribution in ClCH₂MX₁X₂X₃ molecules (M = C, Si) calculated by the CNDO/2 method and the experimental³⁵Cl NQR frequencies. We show that the ratio of the NQR frequencies for chloromethylsilanes and their organic analogs can be explained on the basis of ideas concerning the totality of induction and conjugation effects influencing the population of the orbital of the chlorine atom which participates in formation of the C-Cl bond.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Eksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 26, No. 2, pp. 241–244, March–April, 1990.     

Extractive fluorimetric determination of ultratraces of lead with cryptand 2.2.2 and eosin

A new speetrofluorimetric method for determination of ultratraces of lead is based on solvent extraction into chloroform of the ion-pair formed between the positively-charged cryptate of lead with cryptand 2.2.2 and the eosinate anion. The detection limit for lead is 1 ng ml , and the linear working range is from the detection limit to 250 ng ml . The relative standard deviation is 3.7% at the 100 ng ml level. The method is highly selective for the extraction and determination of lead in the presence of other cations, and has been tested for direct determination of lead contamination in soft drinks. Aggregation of the extracted ion-pair in the organic phase has been demonstrated in fundamental extraction studies.     

Liquid chromatographic and mass spectral analysis of 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-3-butanamines, homologues of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamines

The 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-3-butanamines (HMDAs) are prepared via reductive amination of the corresponding ketone with a series of low molecular weight alkylamines. These amines are homologues of the N-substituted 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamines (MDAs). Compounds of the HMDA series have UV absorption properties similar to the MDAs because both series contain the same 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl chromophore. The HMDAs are separated via reversed-phase liquid chromatographic methods using a C18 stationary phase and an acidic aqueous acetonitrile mobile phase. The mass spectra of these potential designer drugs are very similar to the spectra of the MDA homologues having the same N-substituent.     

Conformational analysis and electronic structure of acetanilide

The calculations of the electronic structure and conformational analysis of the acetanilide were carried out using the CNDO/2 method. The results show that the endo form is 1.2 Kcal/mole more stable than the exo form. The most stable conformation of the exo isomer corresponds to the dihedral angle of 90 ° between the phenyl and acetamide plane, whereas the minimum energy conformation of the endo isomer corresponds to the dihedral angle 50 °–60 °. A comparison of the calculated and experimental dipole moments suggests also the dihedral angle of 50 °–60 °. A comparison with experiment indicates that this molecular orbital method is good for conformational analysis and gives electronic structure which is compatible with spectroscopic measurement. The calculated conformational analysis and electronic structure of the acetanilide are in excellent agreement with experiments.We thank Professor J. P. Green for helpful discussions.

Synthesis of 2, 4, 6-trialkyl-3-hydroxypyridines

Summary A new method was proposed for the synthesis of 2,4,6-trialky1-3-hydroxypyridines by the reactions of 3,5-dialkyl-2-acylfurans with ammonia.     

Toward an accurate and efficient semiclassical surface hopping procedure for nonadiabatic problems

The derivation of a semiclassical surface hopping procedure from a formally exact solution of the Schrodinger equation is discussed. The fact that the derivation proceeds from an exact solution guarantees that all phase terms are completely and accurately included. Numerical evidence shows the method to be highly accurate. A Monte Carlo implementation of this method is considered, and recent work to significantly improve the statistical accuracy of the Monte Carlo approach is discussed.
