Untersuchung der thermischen Eigenschaften von Alkalibenzolsulfonaten

Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß von Atmosphäre, Aufheizungsgeschwindigkeit und Spülgasgeschwindigkeit auf die thermische Zersetzung von Alkalibenzolsulfonaten wurde untersucht. Kristallwassergehalt, Dehydratations-temperatur und -wärme, gegebenenfalls die Zusammensetzung, Art, Temperatur und Wärme der Modifikationsänderungen, Schmelzpunkte und Schmelzwärmen der Verbindungen wurden bestimmt. Die Zersetzung verläuft in zwei Abschnitten. In dem ersten Hauptteil entstehen in Inertgasatmosphäre Diphenyloxid, Diphenyl, Diphenylsulfon, Benzol, Phenol, Thiophenol, Diphenylsulfid, Thiantren, Diphenylenoxid und wahrscheinlich Diphenylensulfid, weiterhin Koks, Schwefeldioxid, Natriumsulfit und wenig Natriumsulfat, Natriumsulfid, Acetylen und Wasser. Im zweiten Hauptzersetzungsvorgang entstehen Natriumsulfid und Kohlenoxid. Die Produkte wurden isoliert und analysiert. Dazu wurden Derivatographie, Differentialthermoanalyse, Gaschromatographie, Infrarotspektroskopie, kontinuierliche thermische Titration und chemische Methoden gemeinsam angewandt.

Summary An investigation was made of the influence of the atmosphere, rate of temperature rise, and velocity of the purging gas on the thermal decomposition of alkali benzene sulfonates. The crystal water content, the dehydration temperature and heat, and if need be the composition, the kind, temperature, and heat of the modification changes, melting points and heats of fusion of the compounds, were determined. The decomposition proceeds in two stages. In the first main stage (in an inert atmosphere) the resulting compounds include diphenyl oxide, diphenyl, diphenylsulfone, benzene, phenol, thiophenol, diphenyl sulfide, thianthrene, diphenylene oxide and probably diphenylene sulfide; also coke, sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite and a little sodium sulfate, sodium sulfide, acetylene, water. Sodium sulfide and carbon monoxide are formed in the second main decomposition. The products were isolated and analyzed. Furthermore, use was made of derivatography, differential thermal analysis, gas chromatography, infra red spectroscopy, continuous thermal titration, and chemical methods.

Résumé On a étudié l'influence de l'atmosphère, de la vitesse d'échauffement et de balayage du gaz, sur la décomposition thermique des benzène-sulfonates alcalins. On a déterminé la teneur en eau de cristallisation, la température et la chaleur de déshydratation, éventuellement la composition, la nature, la température et la chaleur des changements d'état, les points de fusion et les chaleurs de fusion des composés. La décomposition s'effectue en deux temps. Tout d'abord, en atmosphère inerte, il se forme de l'oxyde de diphényle, du diphényle, de la diphénylsulfone, du benzène, du phénol, du thiophénol, du sulfure de diphényle, du thianthrène, de l'oxyde de diphénylène et probablement du sulfure de diphénylène, et aussi du coke, de l'anhydride sulfureux, du sulfite de sodium et, en moins grande quantité, du sulfate de sodium, du sulfure de sodium, de l'acétylène et de l'eau. Dans une deuxième étape de la décomposition principale, du sulfure de sodium et de l'oxyde de carbone prennent naissance. On a isolé et analysé ces produits. Pour cela, on a utilisé simultanément la dérivatographie, l'analyse thermique différentielle, la chromatographie en phase gazeuse, la spectroscopie infrarouge, le titrage thermique en continu et les méthodes chimiques.

Zur Kenntnis von Natrium-hexafluoromanganat(III)

Sodium hexafluoromanganate(III) has been synthesized by heating equimolecular quantities of Na₂MnF₅ and NaF in argon atmosphere. The compound is monoclinic witha=5.56 (1) Å,b=5.84 (1) Å,c=8.10 (2) Å, =90.7 (2) andZ=2. It is a high spin complex with _eff and the deformation of the octahedra is evident from its IR-spectra. Two enantiotropic transitions (at 562 and 653°C) and the melting point at 800°C have been observed.

Protonation et hydrolyse d'enamine. Epimerisation des immoniums intermediaires

At pH 5 (AcOHAcONa) protonation of the enamine of 3,6,6-trimethylnorpinane 2-one (3-methylnopinone) yields the cis immonium ion 6 (X  OAc), which isomerizes to the thermodynamically more stable trans immonium ion 6′ (X  OAc). Under more strongly acid conditions (aqueous hydrochloric or perchloric acids), the enamonium salts 7 (X  Cl or ClO₄) are formed; these isomerize, with a rate increasing with decreasing acidity to the cis immonium salts 6, stable under these conditions. Epimerization of the cis salt 6 (X  Cl), occurs in ethereal hydrogen chloride, the rate increasing also with decreasing acidity. At pH 5, hydrolysis of the enamine yields 3-methylnopinone, the proportion of the less thermodynamically stable trans isomer increasing with a rise in reaction temperature.     

Thermal investigations on the crystallization of sorbitol

The melting and crystallization of sorbitol were investigated with the DSC method and thermal microscopy. Sorbitol was found to have two crystalline modifications (confirmed by X-ray diffraction) with different melting points, while rapid cooling of molten sorbitol resulted in an amorphous form. The effect of inoculation on the crystallization of the melt was studied too. Powders of both crystalline modifications were used for this purpose. A new technological process for rapid crystallization of molten sorbitol has been worked out on the basis of the thermal analysis results.     

Kinetic study of copper(II) complexation with 9-ethyl-3-carbazolecarboxaldehyde-thiosemicarbazone and kinetic-spectrophotometric determination of copper(II)

The kinetics of complexation reaction of Cu(II) with 9-ethyl-3-carbazolecarboxaldehyde-thiosemicarbazone (ECCAT) has been examined spectrophotometrically. The ligand was synthesized for the first time. The complexation reaction was carried out in a DMF-water medium at 35°C. The complex has maximum absorbance at 393 nm. Kinetic and activation parameters of the complexation reaction were calculated by the Arrhenius and Eyring equations using the data obtained from investigating the effect of temperature on reaction rates under the specified conditions. We also proposed reaction rate equations. Based on the studied complexation reaction, a simple kinetic method for the spectrophotometric determination of copper(II) has been developed. The calibration graphs are linear in the concentration range 0.2–1.9 μg/mL. The species that caused interference were investigated. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

On distribution of molecular weight in anionic polymerizates of caprolactam

Measurement has been made of the dependence of the molecular weight distribution on the ratio of the catalytic system components and on the polymerization time for polycaprolactam obtained by anionic polymerization. A bimodal character of the curves was observed for products made using molar ratios of activator (N-benzoylcaprolactam) to initiator (sodium dihydro-bis(methoxyethoxy)aluminate) of 1:1 and 1:3, when the polymerization times were less than 1 hr. This course is explained by the influence of fast side-reactions, mainly condensations. For a ratio of 3:1 of the components of the catalytic system, smooth integral distribution curves are obtained, accounting for a very fast decrease in the strong base concentration in the initial stages of the polymerization.     

Molecular orbital studies on the conformation of GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid)

In distinction to Extended Hückel Theory which predicts as the most stable conformation of free zwitterionic GABA a totally extended form, PCILO and SCF ab initio studies show that the intrinsically preferred conformation of the isolated molecule is a highly folded one, resulting from strong interactions between the two charged ends. Computations are also carried out for hydrated GABA in the supermolecule approach allowing moreover for the flexibility of binding of some of the water molecules of the first hydration shell. They predict the coexistence in solution of a large number of conformations showing different degrees of folding (or extension), a result confirmed by recent NMR studies. This and a number of similar results show that we have to adapt our thinking on the role of conformations in pharmacological activity to this situation, which was frequently obscured by the more abundant results of X-ray crystallography yielding a single conformation.     

Saturated heterocycles, 162 [1]. synthesis and steric structures of 3,4-disubstituted 1,6,7,11b-tetrahydropyrimido[6,1-a]isoquinolin-2-ones

The reaction of 1-(hydrazidomethyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline 3 with aromatic aldehydes yield hydrazones 4a,b or pyrimido[6,1-a]isoquinolines 5a-c depending upon the proportions of the reagents. With ketones, 3 gives only hydrazones 4a-d and 7 , which can be transformed to pyrimidoisoquinolines 10a-e and 11 with aldehydes. The ring closures are stereospecific; the relative configurations were determined by DNOE measurements.     

Beitr?ge zur titrimetrischen Bestimmung von dimeren Hydroxyaldehyden

Zusammenfassung Es wurden die Möglichkeiten für die titrimetrische Bestimmung von dimerem Glykolaldehyd (Fp: 94–96° C) und dl-Glycerinaldehyd (Fp: 138–141° C) untersucht. Die systematischen Fehler der auf Grund verschiedener funktioneller Gruppen durchführbaren Messungen sind von der Stabilität ihrer cyclischen Halbacetale sowie von den ihrer Depolymerisation folgenden weiteren Gleichgewichten bestimmt. Das aus dem dl-Glycerinaldehyd gebildete Halbacetal besitzt höhere Stabilität als dasjenige aus dem Glykolaldehyd.Mit der Hydrogensulfit-Methode werden 95–96%, mit der Hydroxylamin-Methode dagegen 98–99% vom wahren Wert gefunden.In Wasser gelöst zersetzt sich der Glykolaldehyd verhältnismäßig rasch, und das Gleichgewicht kann durch beide Aldehydreaktionen quantitativ gegen die Monomerenform verschoben werden.Unsere Untersuchungen ergaben, daß die Hydroxylamin-Methode zur Bestimmung der in Form cyclischer Halbacetale kristallisierenden, dimeren Hydroxyaldehyde Vorteile gegenüber der Hydrogensulfit-Methode bietet.Frau Dipl.-Ing. Eva Varsányi-Kiss danken wir für die derivatographischen Aufnahmen und deren Auswertung.     

Influence of a silyl group on an allylic position. A theoretical approach

Allylsilanes show in certain cases a behaviour towards electrophiles which is opposite to that of its carbon homologues. Theoretical calculations using Dewar's MINDO/3 method performed on 3-methyl 3-butenyl trimethylsilane and 2-methyl 2-butene show that geometrical optimization leads to a silicon-allylic carbon bond nearly parallel to the double bond π cloud, and both net atomic charges and HOMO coefficients indicate an inversion between these two substrates.
