Gas chromatographic analysis of bifunctional amines after derivatization with methyldichlorophosphine and sulfur

Summary A derivatization procedure for the gas chromatographic analysis of bifunctional amines likeβ-adrenergic blocking drugs is described. The method consists of a two-step reaction with methyldichlorophosphine and sulfur in presence of triethylamine to form cyclic methylphosphonothioic derivatives. The properties of these compounds are discussed and the application of the method to the quantitation of ephedrine in human body fluids is presented. Presented at the 15th International Symposium on Chromatography, Nürnberg, October 1984     

Ein Dreikomponenten-Zweiphasensystem für die schnelle Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie

Zusammenfassung Für die Hochdruck-Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie wird ein Dreikomponenten-Zweiphasensystem beschrieben. Die Mischungslücke besteht zwischen dem wenig polaren Methylenchlorid und dem stark polaren Wasser und kann durch Zugabe von Äthanol als Lösungsvermittler geschlossen werden. Durch den Anteil der stark polaren Komponente in den jeweils koexistenten Phasen ist die Polarität von stationärer und mobiler Phase als stationäre gebunden und aus der mobilen immer wieder regeneriert. Durch Verteilungs-Chromatographie in der Mischungslücke ist eine Vielzahl von Stoffklassen der Trennung zugänglich, so z.B. Corticosteroide, Östrogene, Phenole, Phenolcarbonsäuren usw.

A three-component two-phase system for high speed liquid chromatography

Summary High pressure liquid chromatography with a three-component two-phase system is described. For the less polar methylenechloride and the highly polar water a wide range of incomplete miscibility exists which can be decreased with ethanol. The water content of the coexistent phases determines the polarity of the stationary and the mobile phases. The more polar phase is adsorbed on silicagel as the column support material and serves as the stationary phase. Numerous compounds can be separated by partition chromatography between the coexistent phases, for instance; corticosteroids, estrogens, phenols, phenol-carboxylic acids and so on

     

Beiträge zur Chemie des Hydrazins und seiner Derivate. XXXV. Darstellung und Eigenschaften neuer Stickstoff–Wasserstoff-Verbindungen von Barium und Strontium

SrN_0.5H_0.4 were obtained. In order to characterize them chemical and spectroscopical investigations were carried out.     

Über die adrenale Steroid-Biosynthese in vitro. III. Selektive Hemmung der Nebennierenrinden-Funktion

The possibility is discussed of inhibiting the adrenocortical functions either selectively or preferentially by blocking the hydroxylations in positions 11β, 17α, 18 and 19 of the steroid nucleus or in 20α, 21 and 22 of the side chain, which are necessary for the formation of the individual corticosteroids from cholesterol. Many compounds with or without other biological activities, such as o,p′-DDD, Amphenone B, various blockers of cholesterol biosynthesis, heparinoids and various heterocyclic compounds, are shown to be devoid of a specific blocking activity on the adrenal cortex in vitro. However, amongst a large group of glutaric imides a few compounds proved to be active, mainly by blocking the 20α-hydroxylation of cholesterol, the most active being a cyclic hydrazide; the secretion in vivo of corticosteroids greatly decreased in response to 3–20 mg/kg. A new class of compounds active in vitro was found among simple imidazole derivatives, which block 17α, 18 and 19-hydroxylation.     

M?glichkeiten und Grenzen der Identifizierung von Stoffen aus ihrem Verhalten bei der isothermen Eluierungsgaschromatographie

Zusammenfassung Es wird vorgeschlagen, für die Identifizierung von Stoffen Verteilungskoeffizienten zu verwenden und diese mit Hilfe der GLC in einem einfachen Verfahren, das auch die Kontrolle der Meßbedingungen erlaubt, zu bestmimen. Dieser Vorschlag kombiniert ein relatives Meßverfahren mit der Bestimmung absoluter Größen. Der Meßgenauigkeit, die für die Identifizierung von entscheidender Bedeutung ist, wurde besondere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet und dabei herausgestellt, daß sie im allgemeinen durch die Trennleistung der Säule begrenzt wird. Für die Auswertung der Ergebnisse bei der Verwendung von Säulen mit verschiedenen stationären Phasen wurde ein Verfahren erprobt, bei dem die an den verschiedenen Säulen gemessenen Verteilungskoeffizienten miteinander kombiniert werden. Es wurde eine Tabelle der Verteilungskoeffizienten von etwa 80 Kohlenwasserstoffen bei 50,0° C mit Squalan und Dinonylphthalat als stationären Flüssigkeiten angefertigt. An Hand dieser Tabelle wurde die Identifizierung der C₅–C₇-Kohlenwasserstoffe eines Crackproduktes durchgeführt.

Summary It is recommended to use partition coefficients for the identification of compounds and to determine these by a simple gas-chromatographic procedure, which allows the control of the measuring conditions.This recommendation combines a relative method of measurement with the determination of absolute quantities. The accuracy of the measurement, which is decisive for the identification, was investigated and it was found that the accuracy in most cases will be limited by the resolving power of the column. For the evaluation of the results obtained with columns with different stationary phases a method was tested in which the partition coefficients measured on two different columns were combined. A table of partition coefficients of 80 hydrocarbons at 50,0° C on squalane and dinonylphthalate as stationary phases was compiled. On the basis of this table the identification of the C₅-C₇ hydrocarbons in a crack product was carried out.

     

Anion-exchange behaviour of various metals on DEAE-cellulose in mixed acetic acid-nitric acid media

A number of nitrato complexes of metals have been found to be adsorbed on DEAE-cellulose from mixed acetic acid-nitric acid media, although none can be adsorbed from aqueous nitric acid solutions. The distribution coefficients of Sc, Mo, La, Sm, W, Re, Bi, Th and U are given as functions of acetic acid and nitric acid concentrations (sometimes in the presence of hydrogen peroxide to prevent hydrolytic precipitation). For 25 other metals column adsorption behaviour is described for a 90% acetic acid-10% 7.6M nitric acid mixture. Favourable differences in the distribution coefficients allow useful separations such as FeMoW and USmMoBiTh, to be achieved.     

Time spectroscopy in theA 1∑ u + state of Li2

We have determined effective cross-sections for resonant transfer of excitation energy from state-selected Li₂ molecules to ground state Li atoms $$Li_2 A\left( {\upsilon ',J'} \right) + Li2S \to Li_2 X\left( {\upsilon '',J''} \right) + Li2P$$ with two different experimental techniques. Absolute cross-sections were derived from lifetime measurements of 114 rotational levels of theA-state subject to resonant collisions which belong to vibrational statesv′=4, 5, 6, 7 and 11 of⁶Li₂ and⁷Li₂. Cross-sections amount to several thousand Ų dropping off sharply with a resonance half-width of about 16 cm^?1. The resonance behaviour of the collision cross-section inferred from lifetime data could be confirmed by a double resonance technique probing the number of excited atoms with a second laser while the first laser was scanned over the Li₂ X?A absorption band. Due to their high reliability our data prove a good basis for the test of theoretical models. In contrast to earlier investigations significant deviations were found to exist between the measured cross-sections and those predicted by the first-order dipole-dipole scattering theory.     

Bis(1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane)tungsten(0) Complexes Containing Electron-Saturated Metal Centers and Singly-Coordinated Bridging Ligands

Reaction of 1,4-diisocyanobenzene or 4-isocyanobenzonitrile with trans-W(N(2))(2)(DPPE)(2) (DPPE = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) produced cis-WL(2)(DPPE)(2), where L = 1,4-diisocyanobenzene or 4-isocyanobenzonitrile. cis-(CNC(6)H(4)NC)(2)W(DPPE)(2) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr;, with a = 12.848(3) ?, b = 13.596(3) ?, c = 19.072(3) ?, alpha = 78.99(2) degrees, beta = 70.66(2) degrees, gamma = 65.26(2) degrees, V = 2849.8(11) ?(3), and Z = 2. cis-(NCC(6)H(4)NC)(2)W(DPPE)(2) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr;, with a = 12.712(3) ?, b = 13.700(3) ?, c = 19.109(3) ?, alpha = 77.91(2) degrees, beta = 70.63(2) degrees, gamma = 64.76(2) degrees, V = 2830.7(13) ?(3), and Z = 2. Both compounds possess a distorted octahedral geometry about the metal center, with the two isocyanide ligands cis to one another. The isocyanide ligands are substantially bent along the CNC axis of the isocyanide group coordinated to tungsten. For the complex containing the symmetric ligand, CNC(6)H(4)NC, the mean CNC angle for the coordinated end of the isocyanide is 139.1(11) degrees, the average W-C bond length is 1.86(1) ?, and the C&tbd1;N bond lengths have a mean value of 1.30(2) ?. These data indicate substantial back-donation from an electron-saturated tungsten atom. This is supported spectroscopically, with substantial shifts to lower wavenumbers for the C-N stretching frequencies of the coordinated isocyanide groups. Similar trends are observed in cis-(NCC(6)H(4)NC)(2)W(DPPE)(2). Both compounds contain electron-rich metals surrounded by large ligands which apparently protect the metals from atmospheric oxidation. The isocyanide ligands in both complexes contain a second coordinating group pointing away from the metal into the environment surrounding the molecules, providing the potential for polymetallic complexes containing metals in a variety of oxidation states.
