2-Diphenylphosphinoyloxybenzaldehyde 4-Nitrophenyl-, 4-Phenyl-1-phthalazinyl-, and Aroylhydrazones and Thiosemicarbazone

Condensation of aryl- and aroylhydrazines and thiosemicarbazide with 2-diphenylphosphinoyloxybenzaldehyde results in formation of the corresponding hydrazones and thiosemicarbazone. The products give rise to conformational equilibrium between rotational and Z,E isomers, which is strongly displaced toward the E,E',Z' isomer and is determined by the nature of substituent in the hydrazine fragment.     

Light-induced starch degradation in non-dormant turions of Spirodela polyrhiza

Continuous red light controls starch degradation in turions of Spirodela polyrhiza[Dölger, K., U. K. Tirlapur and K.‐J. Appenroth [1997]Photochem. Photobiol. 66, 126–127 (1997)]. This light could be replaced by repeated red light pulses with the reciprocity law fulfilled over a large range of fluence rates. The effect of red light pulses repeated every 24 or 12 h for 6 days was reversible by subsequent far‐red light pulses. In contrast, hourly applied red pulses were irreversible by far‐red light. This discrepancy was explained by showing the starch degradation activity of far‐red pulses themselves. The investigated process was categorized as a phytochrome low fluence response with an unusual property: requirement of light treatment for several days. A partial fulfillment of this requirement was obtained with a red pulse followed by a dark period and a 24 h continuous irradiation. These results suggest the existence of two separate steps in the process of starch degradation in turions: formation of a sprout (=sink) during the pulse‐induced germination, and starch degradation in the storage tissue (=source) induced by the second light treatment.     

The catalytic reactions of triethyl- and triethoxy-silane with unsaturated sulphides

The hydrosilylation of mono- and di-alkenyl sulphides of the type RS(CH₂)_nCH=CH₂ (R = C₂H₅, CH₂=CH, CH₂=CHCH₂, C₃H₇, n = 0, 1 and 4) by triethyl- and triethoxy-silane, catalyzed by H₂PtCl₆·6 H₂O, (Ph₃P)₃RhCl and (PhCN)₂PdCl₂·Ph₃P, has been studied. The addition of hydrosilane to the double bond of alkenyl sulphide leads to a mixture of two isomeric monoadducts. The hydrosilane can cleave the C---S bond of the initial sulphides giving the corresponding derivatives of thiosilanes, X₃SiS(CH₂)_nCH=CH₂ (X = C₂H₅, C₂H₅O). Hydrosilylation of alkenyl sulphides is accompanied by some side reactions such as dehydrocondensation, reduction and polymerization. The effect of the catalyst nature, the structure of hydrosilane and alkenyl sulphide on the reaction route has been investigated.

Effect of Additions of Silica Gel and Certain Salts of Inorganic Acids on Corrosion Resistance of Cement Stone

Effect of additions of silica gel, certain salts on the rheological parameters of cement mortarand corrosion resistance of cement stone was considered.     

2,3-Diphenylthiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinium salts

The corresponding 2,3-diphenyl[3,2-a]pyrimidinium salts were obtained by the condensation of 4,5-diphenyl-2-aminothiazole perchlorate with -diketones, -chlorovinyl ketones, -chlorovinyl aldehydes, and 1,1,3,3-tetraethoxypropane. The PMR spectra were used to prove the structures of the compounds obtained, particularly to select the structures of the isomeric salts obtained in the condensation with unsymmetrical -diketones, -chlorovinyl ketones, and -chlorovinyl aldehydes. As a rule, the latter give one isomer — the -unsubstituted (relative to the bridge nitrogen atom) derivative.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 629–631, May, 1972.     

Catalytic properties of iron tetracarbonyl π-complexes of vinylsilanes in the addition of polyhalomethanes and hydrosilanes to vinylsilanes

Conclusions The high catalytic activity of (CH₂=CHSiR₃)·Fe(CO)₄ complexes was demonstrated in the reaction of vinylsilanes with polyhalomethanes and hydrosilanes.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 914–920, April, 1982.
