Oxydation von Allylalkoholen mit Blei(IV)-acetat

Lead tetraacetate (LTA) oxidation of the allylic alcohols 1, 10, 14 and 19 leads to the formation of the epoxides 2, 11, 15 and 20 , products of a novel internal addition reaction of the electron deficient alcohol oxygen to the allylic double bond. In some cases ( 10, 14 ) the formation of a new type of acetoxylated enolethers ( 12, 16 ) is observed. The LTA oxidation of the allylic dienols 21 and 29 gives rise to the formation of the epoxyacetates 25 and 33 , products of a similar internal addition reaction. Furthermore, a variety of cyclization products ( 22, 23, 24, 26, 30, 31, 32 and 34 ) has been isolated whose formation requires an isomerisation of the allylic trans double bond to a cis one.     

Pfropfcopolymerisation von Cellulose mit zwei Vinylmonomeren

Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine Beschreibung von Experimenten dar, die die Erhöhung der Pfropfbereitschaft von trägen Komponenten durch Beimischung von aktiveren zum Ziele hatten.Das Trägermolekül war in allen Fällen Cellulose in Form von hochgradig gereinigtem Zellstoff. Durch die Verwendung von Mischsystemen aus Styrol und Methylmethacrylat gelang es, das trägere Styrol in bedeutend größerer Menge auf die Cellulose aufzupfropfen, als es bei Abwesenheit des aktiven Methylmethacrylats der Fall war.

Grafting Polymerization of Cellulose with Two Vinyl Monomers

This paper describes experiments to increase the grafting of cellulose with components of poor reactivity by mixing them with highly reactive ones. A highly purified wood pulp was used as backbone. Using combinations of styrene and methyl methacrylate it was possible to graft considerably higher amounts of the poorly reacting styrene than in the absence of the highly reactive methyl methacrylate.

Generalized Hückel treatment of a simple model of transannular interaction and excimer formation

The model of two interacting ethylene molecules having D _2h symmetry was studied using generalized Hückel method. The validity of - separation was tested on this model. The general character of the ground state and lower lying excited states of the model was discussed and the implications drawn concerning transannular interaction and excimer formation. The values obtained for the dissociation energy of the first excited state of our model and corresponding equilibrium intermolecular distance are of right order of magnitude.

Zusammenfassung Mittels der verallgemeinerten Hückel-Methode wurde das Modell von zwei Äthylenmolekülen mit der Symmetrie D _2h studiert. An diesem Modell wurde die Gültigkeit der - -Separation geprüft. Der allgemeine Charakter des Grundzustandes und der niedriger liegenden angeregten Zustände des Modells wird erörtert und die Folgerungen in Bezug auf transannulare Wechselwirkung und Excimer-Entstehung diskutiert. Die erhaltenen Werte für die Dissoziationsenergie des ersten angeregten Zustandes von unserem Modell und den entsprechenden intermolekularen Gleichgewichtsabstand haben die richtige Größenordnung.

Résumé Le modèle à symétrie D _2h de deux molécules d'éthylène en interaction a été étudié en utilisant la méthode généralisée de Hückel. On a examiné la validité de la séparation - sur ce modèle. Le caractère général de l'état fondamental et celui des états excités inférieurs du modèle furent discutés et on a fait des déductions sur l'interaction transannulaire et sur la formation d'«excimères». Les valeurs obtenues pour l'énergie de dissociation du premier état excité de notre modèle et la distance intermoléculaire d'équilibre corréspondante ont l'ordre de magnitude correct.

     

Organosilicon compounds VI. The preparation of silylaziridines and silyldiaziridines by silicon-carbon cleavage

The preparation of several 2-furyl-, 2-thienyl-, benzyl-, and allylsubstituted silanes is reported. Such derivatives, when treated with aziridine in the presence of a metal catalyst, afford good yields of silylaziridines and silyldiaziridines. A qualitative study of electronic and steric requirements of the displacement reaction is reported.     

Diphosphacarbollide analogues of the C5H5- anion: isolation of the nido-di- and triphosphacarboranes 7,8,9-P2CB8H10, [7,8,9-P2CB8H9]-, [7,8,10-P2CB8H9]-, and 7,8,9,10-P3CB7H8

Treatment of a solution of excess PCl(3) and PS (PS = "proton sponge" = 1,8-dimethylamino naphthalene) with arachno-4-CB(8)H(14) (1) in CH(2)Cl(2), followed by hydrolysis of the reaction mixture, resulted in the isolation of the eleven-vertex diphosphacarbaborane nido-7,8,9-P(2)CB(8)H(10) (2) (yield 34%) as the main product. Other products isolated from this reaction were the phosphacarboranes nido-7,8,9,10-P(3)CB(7)H(8) (3) (yield 5%) and closo-2,1-PCB(8)H(9) (4) (yield 15%). Compound 2 can be deprotonated by PS in CH(2)Cl(2) or NaH in diethyl ether to give the [nido-7,8,9-P(2)CB(8)H(9)](-) (2(-)()) anion, which gives back the original compound, 2, upon re-protonation. Thermal rearrangement of anion 2(-) (Na(+) salt) at 350 degrees C for 2 h produced the isomeric [nido-7,8,10-P(2)CB(8)H(9)](-) (5(-)()) anion, which was isolated as a PPh(4)(+) salt (yield 86%). Multinuclear ((1)H, (11)B, (31)P, and (13)C), two-dimensional [(11)B-(11)B] COSY, (1)H{(11)B(selective)}, (1)H{(31)P(selective)}, and gradient-enhanced ([(1)H-(13)C] HSQC) magnetic resonance measurements led to complete assignments of all resonances which are in excellent agreement with the structures proposed. Coupling constants, (1)J((31)P,(13)C), (2)J((31)P,C,(1)H), and (1)J((31)P,(31)P), were calculated using the DFT method B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p). The molecular geometries of all compounds were optimized ab initio at a correlated level of theory (RMP2(fc)) using the 6-31G basis set, and their correctness was assessed by comparison of the experimental (11)B and (13)C chemical shifts with those calculated by the GIAO-SCF/II//RMP2(fc)/6-31G method. The computations also include the structures and chemical shieldings of the still unknown isomers [nido-7,10,8-P(2)CB(8)H(9)](-) (6(-)) and [nido-7,9,8-P(2)CB(8)H(9)](-) (7(-)).     

Palladium salicylaldimine complexes containing boronate esters

Reactions of salicylaldehydes with boronate ester derivatives of aniline have been examined. Addition of these Schiff base ligands to palladium acetate or Na₂PdCl₄ afforded novel boron-containing trans-bis(N-arylsalicylaldiminato) palladium complexes.Condensation of salicylaldehyde (2-HOC₆H₄C(O)H) with H₂NC₆H₄Bpin (pin=1,2-O₂C₂Me₄) afforded the boron-containing Schiff bases, 2-HOC₆H₄C(H)=NC₆H₄Bpin (1–3a). Similar reactivity with 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde gave the corresponding Schiff bases (1-3b) and (1-3c), respectively. Reaction of Schiff bases (2) and (3) with palladium acetate or Na₂PdCl₄ afforded complexes of the type PdL₂ (4,5), where L=deprotonated Schiff base. The molecular structure of the nitro-salicylaldehyde 4-Bpin palladium complex (5b) was characterized by an X-ray diffraction study. All new palladium compounds have been characterized fully and tested for their antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus.     

Rapid separation of phenylthiohydantoin amino acids: ambient pressure ion-mobility mass spectrometry (IMMS)

An electrospray ionization (ESI) ambient pressure ion-mobility spectrometer (APIMS) interfaced to an orthogonal reflector time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS) was evaluated for the first time as a detector for the identification of phenylthiohydantoin (PTH)-derivatized amino acids, the final products in the Edman sequencing process of peptides and proteins. The drift and flight times of the twenty common PTH amino acids were characterized by a well-defined 2-D mobility/mass spectral pattern. The combination of mobility/mass modes of analysis gave rise to a unique trend-line formation for the series of PTH amino acids. In addition, each PTH amino acid had a unique reduced mobility constant K(o), thus enabling the differentiation of all the amino acid derivatives including the PTH-leucine and PTH-isoleucine isomers. More importantly it was shown that it was possible to resolve a complete reference mixture of PTH amino acids in a single experimental run in less than 1 min. Detection limits for the PTH amino acids were found to range from 1.04 to 3.52 ng; indicating that the limits of detection were less than 17.0 pmol for all of the PTH amino acids.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and luminescent property of a novel H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O-bridged cobalt(II) polymer with one-dimensional chain structure

The coordination compound [Co(C₁₀H₇COO)₂(H₂O)₃]_2n · 4nH₂O was prepared by the reaction of 1-naphthoic acid and cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate in basic solution, and was fully characterized by X-ray diffraction, element analysis, FTIR, TG-DTA and luminescent spectra. In the crystal the six-coordinated Co(II) centers are linked into one-dimensional zigzag chains by water molecules, which are further assembled into a two-dimensional network through weak inter-chain C–H···π interactions. The solid complex exhibits favorable fluorescent properties similar to those of free ligand at room temperature, which can be assigned to the intraligand electronic transfer.
