Synthesis of 3-epistrophanthidin and 3-epistrophanthidol

Conclusions 3-Epistrophanthidin and 3-epistrophanthidol have been synthesized from strophanthidin and strophanthidol with yields of 10 and 40%, respectively. The substances synthesized proved to be identical with the new natural aglycones isolated from the seeds ofStrophanthus kombe Oliv.Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 1, pp. 57–60, 1970.     

Reactivity of phenyl esters of phosphorus acids in alkaline hydrolysis

Conclusions A study was made of the kinetics of the alkaline hydrolysis of some phenyl esters of phosphorus acids. An estimate was made of the contribution made by the induction effect and the p–d conjugation of the phenoxyl group to the free activation energy of the alkaline hydrolysis of the investigated esters.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2794–2796, December, 1972.

Reaction of 4, 4-dichloroflavine (I) with sulfurylchloride affords 2, 3, 3, 4, 4-pentachloroflavan (II). Hydrolysis of II gives 2-hydroxy-3, 3-dichloro-4-flavanone (III), while alcoholysis with aqueous alcohols yields 2-alkoxy-3,3-dichloro-4-flavanones (IVa, b). Treatment of III with SOCl₂ gives 2,3,3-trlchloro-4-flavanone (V), which with caustic alkali or sodium ethoxide is converted into o-(1-phenyl-2, 2-dichlorovinyloxy)benzoic acid (VIc) or its ethyl ester (VIb), respectively.For Part XLII, see [7].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1167–1170, September, 1970.     

Calculation of Siegert eigenvalues for molecular systems: results for He(21,3S)+ H

The variational calculation of Siegert eigenvalues has previously been shown to provide reliable positions and widths for atomic resonances. This approach is herein extended to molecular problems, and the first such calculations for a molecular autoionizing system, He(2^1,3S)+H→ He+H⁺+e^?, are reported.
